Which Studio/Publisher can Sony buy to counter the Bethesda purchase?

[Mike809]

So the bethesda purchase is a pretty big get for Microsoft. The only other publisher of that same size or even bigger would be Take-Two but the asking price would be triple of Bethesda.

I think the only purchase that would make some sense due to partnerships would be Square Enix or Capcom. What do you guys think??

We make our own billion dollar studios.

It looks like the games will still come to Sony

Sony has good 1st Party Studios already. If they wanted to get the hardcore crowd in a frenzy they could cop From Soft. That way they have no excuse not to upgrade Bloodborne and work on BB 2

Counter what?

 

[Kingshango]

Nintendo.

 

[Grand Conde]

They can't easily buy any Japanese publisher, and Square or Capcom would cost 10 Billion each. Sony aren't spending that money, and they aren't starting an acquisition war that they will never win.

None. Sony some broke boys, that’s why they trying to squeeze every dime outa y’all with $70 remasters and expansions.

They don’t have the cash to buy a big publisher.

Square Einx

level 5 they need a game studio that is center focus is RPG games they have enough game studios that can make hit action adventure games but have none that make rpg games.

 

[Piffiztheanswer]

CDPR for fukkery sake

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Konami is the best and most obvious choice.

Even if it’s just having bluepoint re-do Metal gear remakes, or kojima doing silent hills

They dont have to counter. sony is fortunate enough to have cultivated some great first party talent over the years.
