Used Banned (2 weeks): Ignoring staff post, misrepresenting moderation
So Era's stance on Hogwarts Legacy, which as game that has only the IP in common, and as a game pushes for trans rights due to inclusiveness of these options... Era doesn't support this direction the development team has taken by including trans options. Interesting position you've taken here Era. Your issue is with JK Rowling, NOT the game and the dev team who also share the shame views as people here against her yet they are punished for wanting to share their game.
I will say no more on the matter, or discuss it further of course.

That is pretty much where I am at. Sony is going to save their own reveals for the big shows.
I want them.Found this on the Japanese PlayStation Twitter
Yep, I just wonder when we will see one.
I'm expecting/hoping for a GoW State of Play in the next couple months. But beyond that, will they wait for May/June, or will they wait until September even?
I have a hard time believing the latter. They will be left with 3 announced games at that point, with nothing quite on the horizon.
They have to show PSVR2 I would think.
An excellent question. So, a couple of things. Firstly, the promise of trans representation is different from the execution of it - that is to say, we'll see how it actually pans out when the game drops before we pat them on the back about it.
Second, the material issues with the property extend far enough that even if the devs do right by trans people in the game itself, there's just too much shit going on outside of it. We'll host discussion of the game when it drops, so people can discuss the merits and failings of the title, but just generating hype isn't something we're comfortable permitting.
Yeah, like they did at the last showcase when they debuted Ragnarok, Uncharted Collection, Spider-Man 2 and fucking Wolverine.
Cant remember the last Sony game that was announced outside of a showcase.
Um, just reading the official staff communication... Don't really get the logic.
Is the problem that the author owns the IP or is associated with the IP? or that she stands to make money from it? If it's the later, don't we need to examine major shareholders of any video game companies?
and wondering why we have Edin Ring threads... George R.R. Martin has been accused of being racist and transphobic too.

Pretty much agreed. The only first party stuff I can see Sony revealing outside their own big showcase is smaller stuff such as a game from PixelOpus (unless the Sly rumors are true) or an independent developer of similar size, or a remaster of a smaller game like the MediEvil remaster/remake we got a few years ago.
The industry is at "Black Live Matter" level of society awareness.
They are only starting to talk about women right (and for SONY, I am not sure they are even there regarding recent events).
They will tackle transphobia in 25 years (if we aren't all dead by then).
Does Paramount really have much of value? They seem like one of the worst big movie studios, and they aren't able to launch any successful new franchises.
This is the least surprising news ever. They probably have more than 1 AAA game at some stage of development at any given time over the last 13 years. Probably the same deal with Insomniac, Guerrilla, Gearbox and any number of large development studios.
Jeez; that looks amazing! It really does look close to real life, with how the replay camera work and how smooth the game looks.
Great art, but where is it from?

10 years later, there’s still nothing like Journey’s multiplayer
Jenova Chen told us about the development of the game.www.theverge.com
Still one of my favourite game experiences. Do we know when their other game is coming to PlayStation; Children of the Sky or something IIRC?
There will be one when the game is approaching launch.
I think this is the new normal from now on. Any time Sony has a big timed exclusive or marketing deal on a big game we will probably see an SOP leading up to launch.
She has total control over the IP and benefits financially from every part of it, so fuck her and fuck the Harry Potter IP. I'm sure the devs will be fine and the game will still sell like 10+ million copies, even if a relatively small number of people online don't buy it in protest.
This is what I don't understand. Why not just ban all discussion of the game? Creating an OT for a title that is likely going to be one, if not the biggest, games released in years is still generating hype for the game.
With Sony having marketing rights for the title, we'll likely see it again in another PS showcase before its release. Will conversation about it be banned in that context when it's surrounded by other titles?
I just think it's an unclear situation that would be benefit by either banning discussion of the all JKR related subjects or putting stringent staff subjects highlighting the problems surrounding her, while enabling discussion.
It's from Norse Mythology. Sköll and Hati are the two wolves who chase the sun and moon. It's something I hope to see in God of War Ragnarök.
Also, they were in the first game when you were trying to figure out the puzzle.
I agree with it but it really feels like we're picking and choosing considering the mountain of shit almost the entire industry is mired in.
That's just my opinion though.

3 new hires for Deviation Games.
Ex-Amazon/Blizz who worked on New World and Diablo 3.
Ex-The Initiative and ND who worked on TLOU 1&2, Uncharted 2&4 (I linked the first Google result with name as his LinkedIn is blank of info).

JK only owns the publishing and theater rights to HP/And it's characters. Though retained those rights the movie, TV and gaming rights all belong to WB (and I think now Universal).
A lot of stuff coming from that universe has nothing to do with Harry and crew for that reason apparently.

Slightly OT, but there's been some high profile departures from The Initiative lately. Their game director and design director (Chris O'Neill, former SMS employee) both left recently along with some other senior employees. Wonder what's going on over there.
Personally I want to see Sony eventually stop taking the "arms dealer" approach to their film/TV content and reign everything in to their own service. Such a service needs a constant flow of content so picking up another company is the easiest way to do so and Paramount has a massive overall library of content that could add to Sony Pictures existing library.
The end goal, I would hope, is for an all-in-one media subscription that folks can subscribe to that includes movies, TV, anime, games and maybe music. Everything under one umbrella to take on the Disney+ and the Netflix of the world. My hope is that Tier 3 of Spartacus will be the starting point of such an initiative that will go full steam ahead in 2-3 years once Sony's deals with Netflix and DIsney+ expire.
Plus I want Sony to own the Star Trek IP so we can finally get a massive budget AAA Trek game made 😁
Nope. They are entirely different. Hogwarts Legacy Avalanche worked on Disney Infinity before being sold to WB. Avalanche Software= Hogwarts Legacy, Avalanche Studios= Just Cause.
Avalanche Software (US) = Hogwarts
Avalanche Studios (Sweden)= Just Cause
Let's not speculate, it could be for any number of reasons, personal (Drew Murray's case) or otherwise. Besides, its an Xbox studio and posting it in the PS OT is off-topic and prone to 'console-war' hot takes.
I think it is a contest.
It would be cool if they globalized their gear and had those collab stuff like the Parappa The Rapper line of merchandise all show up in a global merch store.
The current merch store is so limited for every region. Combining them together would do so much.
Maybe this?
My biggest worry about this game is the open world.
There is not enough Forspoken hype here
I've been playing so much Elden Ring the past two weeks - that game is something special. I really want Sony to work with From Software on a game, feels like they could be really great partners!
I think you're going to be disappointed. I don't think Sony has the appetite to digest Paramount nor do the Redstones want to sell their asset to Sony of all prospective buyers.
I think it's arguably the most logical transaction left, and there has been fleeting interest at times (more so, Paramount buying Sony Pictures), but I don't see it happening anymore. Maybe Sony will surprise me though.
yup the inbetween places and how to get to point a to b.
The movement looks great but if there isn't a lot to interact with while getting there beyond enemy hordes sprinkled throughout then it falls flat.
All I can do is wait and see... and hope with my fingers and toes crossed 🤞
Sadly I don't think you can buy them. It seems to be a giveaway for people in Japan only.
It's not really an epilepsy friendly game to me, so I'm not veey hyped about it, when it was first shown it didn't seem too bad but they're adding all this magical effects and particles which I don't feel comfortable watching.

The fantasy world of Athia is either UE4 Kite Demo or UE5 Valley of the Ancient Demo.
I don't think I ever seen such an uninspired world since science fiction using desert planet.
Not weighing in on the merits of any forum policy: but just wanting some clarity:
Outside of the OT, members are not allowed to discuss the game? Just wondering how that will be enforced as the game's marketing campaign gets rolling.
Exactly.
Already having the gif ready to send to Darkknight2149 once the new SH gets announced lol
I'm joking Darkknight2149 of course
Or am I?
Checking the careers page, Sony posted a job opening for a position titled, "VP, Head of Live Services, PlayStation Studios". Sony is so heavily going into live service games they're looking for someone to manage them separately.
Konami previously renewed the trademark in 2019. Companies have to do this periodically to keep the trademark rights. This could mean a Silent Hill game is coming, but it could also be standard trademark renewal.

Is Konami getting ready to revive Silent Hill? Well, that's what some fans of the classic horror [...]
Unless the State of Play isn't only about [REDACTED], that appears to be the case.
