SaysWho? Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 From what I understand, this person called the other MS acquisitions as well (or at least most of them) and has some insider knowledge. Speculation I'm seeing on Reset is Ready at Dawn. Since Housemarque is small, Quantic Dream likes working with Sony, and Supermassive said they have exclusives in the works with Sony, that does make some sense. Could also be a developer like Sanzaru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 If “Worked with Playstation a bit” is correct, it can’t Insomniac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duderino Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Ready at Dawn just opened an office in Portland a few weeks back. Clearly they’ve aquired lots of additional funding to extend their operations like that. Microsoft makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insom not only values their independence, and not only likes working with Sony (and will surely be working on Spider-Man 2 with them), but they've also said that Sony as a publisher offers the best pipeline for developing single-player games like Spidey and that a publisher's influence is underrated in that regard. It also says "a bit," so I doubt it's a company with a 20-year relationship who also owns the IP to a franchise they love in Ratchet.

MS is the company that spent $2.5B on Mojang and they might be feeling flush after taking the crown of most valuable company on the planet. Even with all their recent acquisitions, they don't seem to have an obvious team to put together a Spider-Man / God of War / etc. quality single player game. Still, Ready at Dawn seems far more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, Ready at Dawn seems far more likely. Indeed, you really never know. I have no insider info. It just seems like with all of that, the words "a bit," and Insomniac being a pretty big independent studio, it seems like it doesn't fit the mid-sized studio the insider is talking about.

The company has been doing pretty well, and with sales of Spidey, that's quite a bit of money for a continued healthy and successful relationship.

chakoo Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I think you guys are overlooking the “a bit” too much. RaD is a possibility but they’re living off chinese funds atm to target mobile space. I’m thinking it’s more a studio that did one or two titles for Sony like Sanzaru who also can fill a void for ms in the family friendly market.
