They didn't own them? Then was Sucker Punch a second party dec that's now becoming a first party one? Because most of Sucker Punch's games said they were owned by Sony. I think.

Well, there goes any last hope of Rocket Robot On Wheels appearing on the Wii's Virtual Console. sad

[up][up]Yes, Sucker Punch fit the definition of "Second Party."

I feel sorry for all those non-Sony fans who will be missing out, as Sucker Punch does some quality work.

They've never done a game that wasn't the PS 2 or PS 3 save their very very first game, which was on the N64 in 1999.

Aren't those Sony-owned IP's, anyways? I don't think there was ever a chance for that, honestly...

Also, the only way I could see another Infamous happening without being very forced if they set it in a completely different world with different powers but with the same core gameplay mechanics...an idea that I like myself.

Well, shit, I guess Sly 4 won't be on the Wii U, then.

The New Age of Awesome is here! Not even the sky is the limit!

I've yet to see what major difference does this make.

It's more frustrating waiting for the asskicking than the asskicking itself.

[up]All it really means is that we'll never see a cross-platform game by them, but that was a huge longshot as it is, so it's effectively nil.

Then again, this might give them access to more money.

Crap, this kills the idea of Sly 4 being on the Wii U console. God damn you Sony.

[up]Sony owned the Sly Cooper franchise, anyway, so it wouldn't have happened.
