We don't really know anything about the second games from Guerrilla at first we could think it would be MP-only but now they have two Narrative Directors and Simon Larouche was posting on his twitter a job offer for a Senior Quest Designer so if it's for his game it will be weird to be for a MP-only game.
Personnally i hope it's a new ip for a fresh start, maybe a reboot for Killzone could be interesting but i don't want something like Socom because we already have to much games like that with Rainbow Six, Cod or Battlefield.
First party portfolio isn't limited to just internal studios.
Realistically speaking - if Sony is looking at their portfolio rigorously, they will be aware that with a bulk of their internal teams working on established IPs, their externally funded projects will need to step up the plate in new IPs.
If Housemarque/Arrowhead are indeed working on SIE games, i don't expect them to be based off existing properties.

I fully concur with you there. It's pretty insane how low-key Sony has been since, what, E3 2018? I really hope that's chiefly because they're waiting for the reveal of the PS5 to unveil a bunch of new projects that they've kept tight-lipped on for so long and not because of any kind of fuckery that's been going down internally.
yeah, Im curious to see what external studios they'll collaborate next-gen. The pool of usual partners seems smaller now, so it opens up the possibilities for brand new collabs
Sony was supporting the cultural message as much as the game itself, and Death Stranding really was an event wasn't it? I think Kojima will always receive support like this no matter what he does next.
God of War has a fun gameplay and better pacing.
TLOU gameplay is really meh compared to the rest (graphics, storytelling, characters etc..)
Can't change my mind.
I'll also add none of those games play absolutely anything alike lol
God of War's pacing was even worse lmao that whole mountain section almost bored me to tears.
And I don't like this circlejerk about how supposedly bad TLOU gameplay is - it wouldn't have had such an enjoyable multiplayer if the gameplay was bad.
As well as the odd new IP, I'm also hoping breath some new life into one of their dead IPs.
I'm thinking something like a brand new Coolborders, G-Police or Colony Wars I don't think any of those have had a game released since the PS1 days, so they'd seem like a brand new IP anyway.

Housemarque is working on a AAA game and if that's again a PS exclusive, PS5 has a promising new IP which will probably come while the launch year or even at console launch.
Honestly I don't think Housemarque's game will be out until like... 2022. It's their first AAA project, they still aren't very big and they're also working on Stormdivers (though that is a smaller project).
That said, yes, they're a good candidate for an exciting new IP!
Ignoring that bait...
We just had a new IP in Godfall announced. Regardless how I feel about it, it is a new IP related to a multiplayer ongoing game.

I hope if they do release a next gen Socom, it will hopefully have suite of multiplayer modes and not just Battle Royale. The popularity and longevity of that genre seems to have evaporated, so I would hope that an enormous free-for-all wouldn't be the focus. Socom with drivable vehicles, great gunplay, destructible environments, kinetic moment-to moment gameplay, and smooth traversal would definitely reinvigorate the franchise.
Honestly it is the series, along with Warhawk, that should be free-to-play at launch. They would certainly help with the wait for the AAA blockbusters many of us are looking forward to.
Who is the mage in middle of Japan Studio Holidays card?
No Heroes Allowed VR.
For that game of the decade poll, I picked:
God of War
The Last Guardian
Journey
Was hard to boil it down to three choices.

I believe it's from a VR game. Can't think of the name of it though.

He also appears in a few PSP games and a Vita game although in a more pixelated form. The first two games had the main title "What did I do to deserve this my lord?" and the three latest "No Heroes Allowed", which at this point seemingly is the franchise name. All games are developed by Acquire, a company owned by GungHo, so probably not up for acquisition before anyone starts. The franchise is owned by Sony though.

That may well be the first time Sony has acknowledged Kutaro in well over four years. Puppeteer Remastered incoming?
Awesome image by the way. Really hammers home how Japan Studio have created some wonderful (and woefully underappreciated) mascots over the years. Trico x Kat x Toro x Captain Astro x Kutaro <3
I've never played their old games (PS/PS2/PS3 era), but AstroBot was the most wonderful VR experience i have ever witnessed. That game is e real mood stimulator :D
May be Puppeteer will come back for PSVR. It is a perfect fit.
Yeah, but I would love to see the whole Japan Studio working on one single big game. They haven't done this since when, PS2/3?
A
Agreed but there's some games that really benefit from the launch exposure. Platformer, Dreams, and Gran Turismo are all good launch titles Sony should aim for.
If Japan Studio is working on a AAA game, i think it will be something similar to Soul Sacrifice and Freedom Wars. After all, Shimokawa (director of Soul Sacrifice) is creative director in Japan Studio. Some kind of AAA Action RPG with soulslike mechanics and monster hunting is a good fit for them.
Who is the blonde girl?

She looks like she lives in a sewer.
There was a point when I was on board with a SOCOM revival through BR. However, I think that time has passed.
However, an actual sequel to SOCOM 1 and 2 that uses those games as an actual foundation? I still believe there is potential there. Small scale, CQC focus. The community already doesn't mind skins, emotes, etc because we had them in 2003. It would be a solid first year title for a new console.
Watching that first vid on the page, I'm convinced that Kojima Productions won't get that level of marketing if it's not working with/for Sony. For a variety of reasons, this one included, it was the right association. Let's see what the future brings on that relationship.
Finished Left Behind again. I remember Neil and Bruce said that because it was DLC that they were able to experiment more with the gameplay as well as the pacing. I kinda hope that Part II follows in its footsteps. Those bits of downtime where you're able to do different things in the mall with Riley were great. There wasn't really anything like that in the main game. And it sounds like it'd fit in PII based on how intense people said that the fight in Seattle was.
Child Aloy is still one of the most disturbing things I've seen in a video game this gen. There was something seriously amiss with her model that I just couldn't pinpoint. Hopefully the kids will be better looking in Horizon 2.
Edit - Oh dear, that last sentence doesn't look good in context, let alone outside of it.

Lol I agree, I think the hair plays a great part in making her look kinda alien. The hairdo is also weird like she just came out of a hairdresser salon.
Maybe? Been a while since I played it now. I just remember the hair.
Yeah, Child Aloy's head is basically the same size as Adult Aloy which combined with the hair makes her look pretty ridiculous. If Guerilla learned anything working with KJP, hopefully it's a better way of rendering faces.
A big difference there is that for the most part Guerrilla isn't doing straight scans of actors faces. Like Aloy's face is based on a Dutch actress named Hannah Hoekstra, but if you look at them side-by-side you can see that Guerrilla made some tweaks for Aloy's model. Naughty Dog has done some facial scanning (for characters like Dina and Jesse) for PII as well, but they've also changed parts of their appearance so it's not a 1:1 copy of the person they're based off of.
That's pretty funny because the only kid character in DS didn't look that great either.
Bodes well for that upcoming horror game from Kojima I suppose, assuming he uses the Decima engine again.
Imagine being chased by Child Aloy in Silent Hill.
