Like I said above feel free to suggest more prediction questions, I had an easier time with making Sony questions.

And feel free to edit/stuff as time goes on. I know this can be a bit time consuming, so I don't expect a one and done post.

What studios will announce a game?
Naughty Dog will announce a new ip, act like tlou multiplayer spinoff wasn't a thing.
I got the strangest feeling that the multiplayer was basically cancelled, and then they started it back up again, when they remembered it got promised/saw people asking for it.

Sony


How many Studios will Sony acquire this year? Bonus - which ones?
4, Arrowhead Game Studios, 2 random ones, and a medium sized one no one saw coming.

Is Bungie medium sized?   :P


Will Sony have any other independent studios?  

the-pi-guy

Sony is down to 1 game with a set release date.  

2 additional games with a set year.

And 1 game without a year.

It's been a long time since they've had so little ready.

I can't imagine they'll keep that going for too long. Any March/April show predictions?

kitler53

yep.  I predict it won't happen... 

announcements will happen but no shows.
1. announce via tweet
2. detail via blog post
3. depth via state of play (as appropriate)

we'll keep getting news basically every "random Tuesday"

drip feed.  keep up engagement.  shows suck anyways.

Lol, Kitler predicted Activision.  :'(

(On a different note, MS said they have 30 internal studios and then several publishing units. I am not sure how they came up with that number.  They said they had like 23 before I think, Activision has at least 10 named studios by themselves without including Blizzard or King. )

At this point I'm assuming Sony is going to acquire more like 7 or 8 studios. They've been going at a pace of 1 every other month or so.

what can I say,.. I know the unknowable.  8)

MS wouldn't be counting Activision yet.  the aqusition isn't complete yet.

I hope so.  or more even.  I still really want to see ember labs on that list.  I've actually played kena now and dang it was amazing.

It was in the announcement, they said upon close we will have 30 internal studios.

Quote
The acquisition also bolsters Microsoft's Game Pass portfolio with plans to launch Activision Blizzard games into Game Pass, which has reached a new milestone of over 25 million subscribers. With Activision Blizzard's nearly 400 million monthly active players in 190 countries and three billion-dollar franchises, this acquisition will make Game Pass one of the most compelling and diverse lineups of gaming content in the industry. Upon close, Microsoft will have 30 internal game development studios, along with additional publishing and esports production capabilities.

Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard to bring the joy and community of gaming to everyone, across every device - Stories

I really hate that headline. Its completely full of shame. Activision was literally on every device and the acquisition will result in the games releasing on less devices.
