ORIGINAL: Odion ya it is, meaning that if things ever go sour with Sony, they are left with oh ya, nothing, because what will prob be their best idea is sold off. ahh. much like, oh yeah, Bungie. you're right for a small start up company this is the best route to go. they've already become a recognized studio even before the product is released so that gives them a lead for the future. i'm pretty sure Sony will acquire them if LBP becomes a hit. EDIT: back on topic, i don't know if Tecmo will ever bring out NG2. maybe after the publishing rights are over or whatever but it won't be any time soon. not that i'm hyped for the game anyhow. NG is great action but it lacks in the dept. that means most to me and that's storyline and character development. I am pretty sure MM doesn't want to be acquired, they left Lionhead like 2 years ago to make their own independent company, and you think they already want to be sucked back into another mega corp yeah, i agree, they might not, but who knows, maybe sony treats them better. not saying they do. who knows, business is business and for a small start up, having a good relationship with a big corp brand is the smart thing to do, not saying becoming 1st party but i'm sure Sony will at least offer it to them if LBP becomes a hit, but then again they can't rely on LBP anymore since they've sold the rights. but i do agree with you that selling their IP might not be the best thing to do in the long run if it becomes sucessful, but all new IP's start off on a 50/50 scenerio. it's a hit or a flop and a company given the opportunity for financial funding might look to it as getting their IP to be a success and in doing so it will elevate their status as a reputable developer and so in the long run their future ideas will have an easier starting ground both for publishers and gamers. anyway, NG2 won't be on the PS3 any time soon. Who knows what the hell is going to happen with Tecmo now.
