Discover the latest news from Bloober Team: they are working on 2 new games, including a new IP in partnership with Private Division.
Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
I especially agree with #2, #3 and #4.
I would love for them to buy Platinum Games, what they could do with a larger budget and better support would be something to see
I think these choices each make some sense. I bet they do grab Remedy or get some exclusive deal with them, but I don't think Sony really needs another studio making 3rd person action/adventure games.
I'd rather see them look for a studio for a new shooter (4A games maybe), maybe a fighting game studio (ARC System?), or an RPG studio (even though they don't have the history - I hope somebody gets Mistwalker back to consoles).
I could also see them grab Bluepoint and task them with remaking classic PS games.
I know these types of articles trigger some but it's the context that matters. You have to look at the company in question that's doing the buying and what type of track record they have. No one is immune to closures so there's that but I would look at how much creative freedom devs have with said company and if they are pigeonholed into certain types of games they make or if they are allowed to scratch those creative itches and I'd say Sony is the later.
To me any of these would be a good fit for the Worldwide Studios umbrella, especially Quantic Dream, Supermassive, From Software and Remedy.
