Lol. Its just a gif to show some retrofuturistic weapons. Granted the previous movies were better but not a lot of gif out there that are not Will using the mind eraser thing. I enjoyed the movie though.

The developer said to Jaffe that Sony was happy with the early sales and that it's the best selling game their studio ever made, and that if for now we don't get Days Gone 2 the reason isn't sales.
So I assume maybe there's no Days Gone 2 right now because they think it's better to do something else now (like a new IP) and leave Days Gone 2 for later (they wanted to use UE5 for it, and won't be ready until late this year or next year). Or maybe they want to stop having white heterosexual male protagonists, who knows. Or maybe the new studio leadership wants to make their own IP.
No, it's only a weak fake. Bend is working on a new IP instead.
The rumors were that after DG, Bend did help ND with the Faction games and an Uncharted spin-off while they were first pitching DG2 and later a new IP created by Bend. Later Hermen confirmed Bend is working on a new IP.
So Bend isn't working on MiB, they are working on a new IP instead.
Games with awesome visuals and mediocre or slightly bad gameplay traditionally are big selling games. Games with mediocre or slightly bad visuals and awesome gameplay traditionally are niche games/'hidden gems' with low sales.

Semantically MIB could be a new game ip.

Huh? Its nothing similar. Sony owns MiB. Sony doesnt own Spiderman.

Oh man I didn't even realize that. That makes this rumor seem even stronger. Gah.

Set it in the 90s in NY for some nostalgia. You start off picking your letter and creating your character. You go through basic training. It could work really well if done correctly. They probably butcher the humor but we'll see.
Could have some really good boss fights. Could have a cool online mode.
It may be a spinoff of a movie franchise but it's still way more refreshing than another zombie game.

It's kinda weird cause MIB is a Marvel comic so I think it's more like
- Sony has either first option rights on gaming merchandise on Spiderman or just been licensed right on gaming merchandise on a case by case basis
- Sony has full licensing right on gaming merchandise on MIB.

Fuck games based on movies. Fuck Marvel games as well while we're at it.

I was thinking about this earlier - wasn't the whole premise of MiB to stop illegal aliens living on Earth? Can already hear the articles by Polygon and Kotaku now alluding how it's exactly like our everyday lives and all those poor refugees being turned away at borders. All these article will be heralded as really 'deep' and 'insightful'.
Technically aren't the aliens immigrants in MIB processed on earth? That doesn't work with the conservative view of how to deal with refugees/immigration.
But yeah, there could be some weird articles if Sony decide to make it a bit more serious than the movies.

It's not a Marvel Property. For example "Topaz is not a wholly owned Marvel character. She is a character as published in the Ultraverse, a line created by Malibu Comics, as a creator-participant superhero series imprint. Which means that Marvel, which bought the publisher, has to pay extra to use the characters outside of comics – indeed there may be a belief within the publisher that they have to pay however they use them, which is why they have not appeared in print for decades." Men in Black is also from Malibu comics. Sony got the rights directly from the creator.
