Popular Post matigrosso91 Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 It's a good move, but according to Bungie, they will remain multiplatform. We'll see how this evolve, but at least now Sony can use the expertise of Bungie to develop their own FPS. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Slava Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) $3.6 Billion for Bungie, damn. Insomniac was bought for $229 Million, for comparison. Edited January 31, 2022 by Slava 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infected Elite Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 the thing is most bethesda and Activision and bungie will still be multiplatform. At least the major games, except of course starfield and whatever the hell ES6 ends up doing. Regardless, i have both consoles so i don't care who buys what. In a dream world Sony would buy Square Enix and Nintendo cause the switch sucks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidson2004 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Don't understand how this is separate from the "what studio would sony buys to counter MS" thread, as I posted it in there on my phone. But if a mod can move this to that thread, that'll be wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GUDGER666 Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) They have done 2 games in 12 years so i don't see the point? Loved Destiny 1 but 2 imo is garbage. $3.6B! Though, seems like a huge waste of money. Edited January 31, 2022 by GUDGER666 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DaivRules Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 For a developer that started out as Apple only, then getting bought by Apple's biggest competition, Microsoft, only to leave Microsoft and be independent for a long time to join Sony has been quite a wild ride. I can only imagine how accommodating Sony has been for them to agree. It'll be really interesting to see what ideas Bungie hasn't been acting on that can be fostered under Sony. 2 minutes ago, GUDGER666 said: They must've got them cheap. Super cheap. $3.6 billion dollars. Chump change 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Nintendo would sell to Sony. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowxSakura Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If this was bungie from 15 years ago that would be great news, but most of the original talent left bungie a long time ago 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sepheroithisgod Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 Honestly, there must be another IP on the way for them to spend this much. Destiny is not more valuable than Minecraft. I don't think it's a bad move at all though. With Xbox buying cod, Sony needs a big FPS game and this definitely fits the bill. I would like to see Bungie revive Killzone or Resistance. I don't think Guerilla games or Insomniac will ever go back. I miss when Sony released FPS games. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eagle Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 Wonderful... just validates Microsoft's behavior and will generate the whole "please buy every company under the sun" thing again. Watch this thread be all praise just because it's on Sony's side now and completely disregarding the wider effect it has on the industry. Joy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
