I guess after this we can assum he isn't joining MS, maybe he's waiting to finish whatever he was working on then join back ND?
I smell a BioWare or Ubisoft return, or Respawn can hire him to fix Jedi Fallen Order sequel animations lol
A JRPG by Sony where they actually apply their storytelling formula (for lack of a better word) to the genre and clean house with all those stupid cliches and traditions would be an insta buy from me.
Well, this is certainly something I didn't know I wanted until now.
It was, and in reality it was ended by a tropical storm dubbed Kamikaze. But there was a second mongol invasion a few years later. So, for me: first game first invasion, second game second invasion, third game Jin becoming a Ronin after getting accused of the Shogun for abandoning the old ways. Book it.
Monkey gear solid
Best third person shooter Sony ever had
Dark souls before it was even a demon souls
Sonys best arcade racer
bring back ape escape(for those that don't know yes this was all from one game,these games use to be nuts lol

The entire reason PS got big is because it catered to 3rd party. It made it more appealing to the industry to work with them instead of Nintendo. "Our platform is more open, tech is better, don't compete with Mario come over here etc..."
Sony can absolutely rest on 3rd party for the launch lineup and just plug in some holes.
My quite realistic exclusive launch lineup for PS5:
Demon's Souls Remake (Bluepoint Games) - they teased a lot this new project, must show confidence. Also developing remake takes less time than a new IP or a sequel. Also it is possible that Bluepoint may have a support from either Japan Studio (SotC case) or From Software (since it's their project to begin with).
Ratchet & Clank 2020 (Insomniac Games) - we all know that this studio is one of the most efficient in the industry (actually 2 studios). In the span of 5 years (2014-2018) they released 3 AAA games (Sunset Overdrive, R&C 2016, Spider-Man) plus a bunch of VR and mobile experiences. Santa Monica Studio for comparison took 5 years to reboot God of War. My bet that by the time PS5 launches Insomniac will have their AAA title ready.
WILD (Wild Sheep Studio) - announced during Gamescom 2014 and shown during PGW 2015 we since haven't gotten much news from this title. XDEV studio still have a page on their site regarding WILD, it's safe to assume that they're helping in development. Given that the game has been in development for nearly 6 years it is possible that it transitioned to next-gen and could be finally ready for launch Holiday 2020.
New/Revival IP from Sony Japan - this one is also efficient due to having multiple teams within the studio. It's quite clear that they're brewing something for the launch of PS5.
Let's add some imagination to these "safe bets":
Gran Turismo 7 (Polyphony Digital) - GT Sport released Fall 2017. 3 years of productive development could be enough to develop the next installment given that the studio expanded via opening a new office. Also GT5 - GT6 took 3 years of development.
Housemarque/Arrowhead new IP - either of those could become a launch title for PS5.
Other 3rd-party/2nd-party full/console exclusive deal like Godfall (PS5/EGS).

Yeah I'm thinking Untitled Goose Game and Headliner: NoviNews.
Hmm, looking in your recent posts it seems like you already received from Sony a 10%, 20% and 30% code in this promotion. You needed another code? :D
What's interesting is his statement regarding acquisition vs building a studio from the ground up.
I think he made a good point that an acquisition is preferable (at least for him) since established studios has shared culture.
Cool, it's all good was just curious. Enjoy the 2 games. Untitled Goose Game looks hilarious, but there's been some mistake that it's not out in Scandinavia and other non-English EU regions yet :'(
I used my 30% today on 3 items.
My girlfriend is not long out of hospital after a gallbladder op so I'm hoping Untitled Goose Game will help cheer her up a little with having to stay in bed for a while. Hopefully she puts a good shift in and manages to plat it on my account without noticing!
Thanks again. It was a help.
Spotted a job listing for a senior director in Kuala Lumpur, is this a new studio?https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/1645270785
It's a new studio branch of PDSG, the Product Development Service Group, which is a support team for WWS.
In the short-to-medium term, don't expect this studio to be anything more than a support team for the wider WWS creative/development studios.
This could mean shorter development time for WWS games right? Or at least that's the point.
This is a reach. The scope of the next gen games could become even bigger thus increasing the overall total development time even further despite more manpower and better tools.
Remember that PS4 allowed developers to create games much quicker compared to the PS3 but the increase in scope was so big we got less games at the end.
Even if that's the point, game dev never really works out that way. Established studios like Retro, SSM, BioWare, Visceral, Naughty Dog, CDPR, etc has in this generation experienced:
- project cancellations
- project reboots
- extremely lengthy pre-production phase
- troubled development in many areas
- any of the above in varying degrees
That has led to frequent failed predictions of "game studio reveals their next game" which never happens even though they haven't shipped anything in quite a number of years.
The most immediate benefit is lower cost, I guess. Malaysia's average wage and cost of living is much lower than the main PDSG branch in LA.
its not that serious my dude.
this is a discussion forum, and you came in with some super hot takes. which actually makes for some fun debates. its all good, some opinions are less popular than others, don't let that stop you from voicing them. if people want to get upset, that's on them. dont stop making threads. who cares.
Im probably going to make a not so popular thread on zelda soon tbh, and im expecting a shit storm, but idgaf. my opinions shall be voiced 👀
You mean the breakup simulator? Original game is pretty much as lengthy as the first one.
It's probably just their own outsourcing company rather than rely on 3rd party ones. Sony FP uses tons of outsourcing in terms of assets etc
I wonder if this means that they're switching to a Ubisoft like production pipeline.
They will need more than one studio of they want to do in-house outsourcing.
Ubisoft for example has an army for outsourcing
Ape Escape, Demon's Souls Remake and a new heavy hitting (not some remake *wishful thinking) R&C for PS5 Launch would be great
As long as you don't touch majora mask,wind waker and Oot we cool
I fully expect the launch line-up to be '1 mediocre game, 1 pretty poor game and the rest of them games that also release on PS4, but run at a higher framerate'
I've seen my fair share of 'next-gen console' launches...

Demon's Soul is a safe bet and oh boy its going to look Glorious I can feel it.
Could you imagine DS exciding this level of fidelity ? :O

If Japan Studio isn't working on a new Ape Escape then Sony might as well throw in the next gen towel. They've already lost.
