Sony : Paris Games Week press conference dated

This isnt related to PGW at all but I have genuine question to ask you all.

How do you feel or what do you think about this scenario.

Insomniac Games sells their North Carolina studio to Sony.
 
"Sony is being quiet etc etc"

LMAO yea exactly. I remember we got like 5 threads about how the lack of leaks / statements on the first party lineup this holiday somehow meant they didn't have anything to show. All that FUD made the conference that much more entertaining. Gotta love it.
 
Wait. Is the 15 minutes earlier thing the actual show or pre-show?
If its the actual show than I might end up missing some of the show. T_T

Remember last year where they showed footage for first light, LBP3, The Order and Bloodborne before the conference even started?

Who knows.
 
Wonder if Sony or MS is going to try and snatch up undertale as a console debut first, since its an indie darling and serious GOTY contender.

I mean, its really good and wouldn't be surprised if offers were made to Toby.

I think that and Downwell will be big targets. I know i've seen one of Sony's producers retweeting a bunch of stuff about Downwell in particular.

Won't happen. If Insomniac was gonna be a part of WWS they would have been by now. They were making exclusive software for 15+ years for PlayStation hardware

So much short term memory, especially when it comes to expectation management. Gamescom have always delivered when it comes to games, even if not megatons, but somehow this time it'll be so different.

Well I mean. The North Carolina studio has only been making ratchet and clank game all this time for Sony. I mean insomniac games will still be independent in California but they just wont own the NC faction.

That's why I ask you all. If it were to happen would you be for it or you think they should let it be as it always has?
 
my thoughts exactly

after Horizon maybe they can reboot KZ seeing as they have new writers on their team.... plus there is a bunch of stuff they could do to keep it fresh

like in the fleshed out KZ timeline they provided there was that first interstellar war... if they want to start again they could start with that

heck if they want to just make a new Sci-Fi series by all means they could do that too

I'm hoping Horizon will be their project for a long time. Let Guerrilla Cambridge have Killzone.

I was saying way back when Up Your Arsenal released and R&C was growing in popularity and some people looked at the series as a staple Playstation franchise that they should of picked them up around that point. Maybe they tried and Insomniac didn't want to become a first party studio. That is most likely the case. I mean Insomniac has been REAL close with the Playstation brand for a long time, especially peeps like Cerny and Ted Price who have known each other well since the days when Cerny was head of Universal.

Now though? No. They seem to have abandoned the idea of exclusive Playstation software and are even dabbing in VR now with an Oculus Rift title. So I think the time has past. Not sure what type of future the studio has atm but we'll see. I love their games though. Sunset Overdrive was one of those titles that had me itching to almost purchase the console but just couldn't at the time. I'll play it one day I'm sure. I'm hyped as hell for the R&C origins game and hopefully the film and game put a lot of money in their accounts. They deserve success. Their games have fantastic gameplay and in the R&C series case, insanely good visuals.
 
I was reading the predictions from playstationlifestyle for PGS and they feel PSX will be where Sony's big stuff will be revealed while this will be a relatively smaller event. It is good that the hype is low. If Sony has a good showing, it will catch folk by surprise. I really like what the fourth guy said though.

"desperately"

What?

Not this again... Hell divers is the exclusive we deserve

I am trying to figure out when the "NU GIMZ!" thing will fade for PS4. It eventually happened with the PS3 over time. Maybe after 2016? Assuming all the games set to come for 2016 (and the ones unannounced) arrive on time, it is going to become unbelievably difficult to keep that narrative going.

Meh, who am I kidding? All it will take is one big exclusive being delayed from the holidays and the PS4 suddenly has NU GIMZ for 2016.
 
Those both would have been good pick ups a couple years ago, but at this point From got bought by someone else and Insomniac has moved on from being a PS studio.

In the land of make-believe anything is possible (aka can be bought).

You would think our fellow friend here would want Senzaru Games to be bought instead. Cheap and guarantees Sly Cooper 5.
 
I'm gonna be that guy and have some odd, probably dumb, left fieldy predictions.

-star wars LBP pack announced

- New footage of wattam shown with release date

- a dormanted series that has a huge fanbase is getting a continuation and is coming to PS4

- PlayStation Now's launch date or window for mobile and PC announced

- a new ps plus perk

- trophy support for PlayStation classics for ps3 / PS vita / and ps4 (if it gets backwards compatiblity and/or if PlayStation 1 & 2 classics coming to ps4's store)

I've been waiting for this since 2008, when LBP 1 launched!
 
The predictions here over the past few days have deflated my hype so hard that tomorrow is now just Tuesday for me.

:(

Well, after E3 bombs its hard to get something new at this moment , there are two clearly scenarios :

1)Sony has a big announce and managed to kept it without any leak.

2) More stuff of games we already know

Option 2 is the most viable.
 
I'm going to watch this before heading out to school. Just give me some Rime, WiLD, and No Man's Sky updates and I'll be happy. Anything else will be a plus.
 
After E3 this could be considered the second main event for Sony this year

Sony (Yoshida?) have said this conference should be considered as similar to Gamescom last year.

thanks.

I think I was confusing it with Playstation experience before. Which one is bigger?

Eh, I'll probably just watch it. Not doing it anything else...

Last year's announcements:
Tomorrow Children
Alienation
Until Dawn (PS4 reboot)
Tearaway Unfolded
WILD

thx
 
I'd say Crash would definitely be a PSX announcement due to thematic reasons. Wouldn't expect it tomorrow.

Tomorrow will likely be Euro and small studios.

PSX needs to be huge each year to justify it's existence, and you don't get much bigger than Crash.
