Sony changed their approach to release info on new games. They dont announce anything unless it's going to release in a year or less. I like this. I dont like the 2,3 year cycle of hype. it's tiresome.

Wolverine :/

Fairgames :/

 

[arkhamguy123]

Firesprite? how do you think their next game is going to turn out guys? Be honest.

Literal blue hair in the back. None of the women except maybe blond in the middle right is attractive.

Okaaaay so their cinematic 3rd person game will be woke and the women characters will not be allowed to look cute got it

 

[ungalo]

Nothing very interesting to me, i hope they have some surprising second party games like Physint.

 

[GymWolf]

They were yes, but expect them to conform to wokeness like ND and insomniac. The new employees on Twitter give you an idea

Can't wait for their next game, Gays bone.

 

[arkhamguy123]

Made me smile in real life. Witty

 

[zeroluck]

They probably got nothing coming next year too, otherwise they would have shown it with pro announcement.

Rumor says it is all 3rd party again.

I wasn't sure about the bone part but i have absolute trust in my fellow gaffers ample US slang vocabulary.

US, vulgar slang : to have sexual intercourse with (someone)

Sony needs a show soon. I'm getting tired of these threads.

 

[arkhamguy123]

Rumor says it is all 3rd party again.

No state of play is ever worth a damn I don't know how people haven't caught on yet. Hell if their last show is any indication going forward even their showcases now aren't worth a damn

It'll be third party fodder next week

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Rumor says it is all 3rd party again.

Rumor actually says it's the opposite. Wccftech is reporting that its first party games to be shown.

Link? That's actually worth getting excited about but I don't believe it. .01% chance. Have they ever done AAA first party world premiers in a SoP before?

Here you go: https://wccftech.com/playstation-5-pro-announced-state-of-play/amp/

They announced God of War Ragnarok officially at a State of Play years ago

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Alright. Who would you choose to make a Motorstorm or Wipeout game?

A: I wouldn't

Wasn't that at their last good showcase in 2021 with the wolverine reveal?

My bad. Yea, you're actually right. That was at their 2021 showcase. I confused both of them.

Guerrilla Games

This studio is going all in on horizon. In the insomniac leak we got footage of their Horizon multiplayer project. It is unknown if this is moving forward still or cancelled though. In addition they are also working on Horizon 3. And may be assisting with a Horizon 1 remake.

Why did these idiots decide to become the Horizon studio when this franchise has always been a milquetoast, dull game whose second iteration sold a fraction of what the original did? The excitement is just not there, some people like it when it's released, the journoids praise it of course because it panders to them but no one talks about it after a couple of months. Just make a new Killzone or a new franchise ffs

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

I'm so hyped about Haven. The creativity is off-charts.

If anyone working at playstation has an IQ above 70 they'd host a showcase before 2025 and show off every single project I just outlined. A show with 9-10 world premieres would be seismic. Gargantuan. The fans would go crazy.

The stars have aligned for them because everyone here except maybe media molecule SHOULD be more than ready to show SOMETHING. The dev times have all coincided to where they should all be very progressed right now

I'm thinking they'll stall some releases. If they start releasing all those games the next couple years then most studios will be at the starting phase for their next gen projects when PS6 comes out.

 

[TintoConCasera]

The event is next week.

They better show something really, really cool. I feel that the success of the PS5 Pro depends on the "wow factor" of that event.

 

[Jesb]

What a fall from grace from the ps3/ps4 days.

 

[Hudo]

A: I wouldn't

Why not?

 

[playbignbox]

I would love to see them work on more games like Astro Bot, Returnal, etc.

 

[DragonNCM]

What Sony Worldwide Studios are working on ?

 

[Sephimoth]

Nothing interests me apart from Ghost 2.

I hope the new IPs bring something fresh to the table... things getting stale in the AAA space.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Why not?

Because I don't see the value in assigning either franchise to some random 3rd party studio.

The upside is too limited.

 

[nial]

It was fine to keep this discussion in terms of women from *video games*, but this is legitimately deranged.

Very dramatic

 

[nial]

Very dramatic

You say that, but it's stuff like this that makes modern discussion so fucking annoying. It's like lurking in some random thread on ERA and seeing someone who starts sperging about some irrelevant shit about the developer. It's THAT bad.

Team Asobi needs to hurry up and put out another game. WTF is taking so long?

I remember when someone here (yeah, I'm mentioning you P Physiognomonics ) said this just two months before Astro Bot was revealed. Probably something to keep in mind regarding other studios.

And how would you bring those franchises back?

 

[Mibu no ookami]

I wouldn't.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

There approach to waiting until those games are near release to shown them off has been working just fine.

With PS5 sales dipping this year, announcing or showing something big would at least build some excitement.

Surely SuckerPunch would be up next as they're developing a direct sequel to a 2020 game.

And?

Those people can just buy a PS5 when that gets revealed or when its released.

I don't see the benefit cause sales 'dipping" is irrelevant, they'll just be back when something is revealed, so their focus should be on making that reveal quality

I'd prefer they bought the system sooner, that way developers will see the marketshare growth and completely drop cross-gen.

I bought a PS5 not just based on available games but based expected games.

In most situations that would be stupid, but Sony set those expectations with PS4.

I'm not laying into Sony btw here, I'd still rate PS5 and Sony's output on it as good, but it's not great like PS5.

They need to get people excited again, like they did at E3 2017.

Ghost of Yotei coming 2025

Worth noting that 2020's Ghost of Tsushima was announced at Paris Games Week in October 2017, nearly 3 years before release.

So providing this Yotei does come next year this seems to confirm that Sony now have a policy of not announcing games more than a year before release.

 

[Sanepar]

So we still need to see Firesprite sp game, tlou3, cory game(probably a new gow), bluepoint original game, bend crap gaas and guerrilla next game? That is it?

 

[Cornbread78]

First party studios atm:

Most have now released or revealed games for PS5.

All eyes on Naughty Dog now.

I agree, but a lot of us already knew that tbh lol

I think its a wise choice and I stand by it.

People care about whats in front of them and having a soonish release window allows for those other teams to work in peace without having to rush some build or something.

Let them market Death Stranding 2 and Ghost 2 as their 2025 games, that will move units next year and when its September 2025, they can roll on and move on to announce what will get folks buying the system again.

I don't see it doing any good making announcements years in advance other then getting a team to make a preview build and then have folks arguing about changes based on it still being designed. I think Sony saw how Activision, Rockstar and Ubisoft marketed and it makes sense to follow that type of lead. Show what is coming soon and them move on to the next marketing window after those titles release.
