This shouldn't really change things as far as we consumers are concerned, but good puck to Evo and Bigbig, and it must be nice to have a bit of definite financial security.

Very interesting I wonder will this article turn into one of those spit and bile fests we ususally get if this was Microshaft doing the buying?

Nice to see some of the little guys being brought under the wing to secure their future. Hopefully it won't stifle them.

Yup and Sony have been doing it quite a bit longer. I guess some people see it as MS continuing their practices from PC OS and software and bringing it to the games industry.

I think the only big gripe was Rare's acquisition, which pissed me off because I didn't see anything anything worthy of their name for years.

And the Xbox practically killed the Abe's Odysee devs I'm bringing back painful memories now. :(

The management team responsible for the development and implementation of Motorstorn is leaving. Er yea I think it will affect the studios somehow! After all it was these guys who approved the "head to the desert to film some mountains" and get the dirt looking just right style of motorstorm. I suspect the sony bigwigs are not so liberal with the funds.

I think it was more the transition from 2D-3D. No one can honestly say the first 3D Abe game was anywhere near as good as the first two 2D ones.

With SONY & MS holding so many staff you would think a few more stellar games would come from either of them directly - does the security actually lead to less creativity? Maybe they are not tired enough to come up with the crazy idea's! lol

Sony pulls ahead much further in numbers of devs they own compared to the other two then innit?

No difference to us consumers but good for em.

All those employees laid off from UK internal development studios earlier this year will be looking at this with some bitterness I'm sure.

The reason people are calling MS out on it and not Sony is because the studios MS bought made titles for other platforms. Halo was originally a PC/Mac project untill MS came along, Rare made Ninty titles.
Sony tends to buy out studios that already make Playstation exclusives, annoys less people because it doesn't change anything.

Why? They should have created something that actually sold. Just simple capitalism.

Err... the news here is that a MotorStorm sequel is in the works. Everything else matters not. Good news!
