Sony Should Hurry Up and Acquire Delta Force: Hawk Ops Developer

Yesterday, we saw a fun and exciting review of the first-person shooter Delta Force: Hawk Ops, which offers the ideal road shooter experience yet. The gameplay analysis was very interesting to watch, so why not try this game on your favorite home device? It'll be a real thrill.
Additionally, a few days ago, I shared an article discussing Sony's alternatives to Call of Duty, which was acquired by Microsoft. While the game is still coming to PlayStation platforms, its future is still unknown and worrying, subject to Microsoft's changing fortunes.
So Sony will need to come up with an immediate alternative to the game, and I've talked about Sony's own Killzone game, as well as Resistance, either of which could be revived and built as a Call of Duty alternative. But after watching a review of the free-to-play Delta Force: Hawk Ops from a small team called Team Jade at Summer Game Fest last night, I think we've found the target Sony should firmly set its sights on.
Delta Force: Hawk Ops is a free-to-play game from an independent developer, but the development team has gone to great lengths to deliver the highest quality possible. We almost said this game could topple major titles like Call of Duty and Battlefield.
The game has very elaborate elements, whether in the shooting system, movement, interaction with the environment, or even the graphics, and that's everything a successful shooting game needs.
If Sony makes a smart decision and takes full control of this game, I think it will be a very successful step forward. It will ensure that PlayStation platforms are at the forefront of shooters in the long run, even if the expected outcome is met and Microsoft isolates the Call of Duty game from PlayStation.
Through the skill of the Delta Force: Hawk Ops development team, Sony's financial support, and good marketing for the game, as Sony does with its titles continuously, the result will be a successful game by all standards and a strong alternative to Call of Duty.
I don't believe Sony would need a huge budget to acquire the title and merge the development team with one of its studios or make it an independent team working under the PlayStation Studios umbrella. I don't believe the cost of the deal would be higher than the cost of acquiring Bungie, the studio that developed Destiny.
In other words, there won't be a major financial risk for Sony, other than it being a strong blow on the path to independence and exclusivity with a special and exclusive title for PlayStation platforms.
In any case, we hope Sony already has a good plan to move forward and build its own shooter, whether by reviving one of its previous titles or acquiring an external developer like the developer of Delta Force: Hawk Ops.
