I feel that in a way focusing on titles that have established brands eventually leads to accomplished, veteran developers abandoning studios because the studio gradually becomes an "x factory". My perspective is that it stifles creativity if you have your parent company dictating the ip's that you must continue to make rather than that decision being something that the development team determines for itself. I like Sony's outlook on Evergreen titles, and I'm glad that they grant their studios the freedom to explore ideas at their choosing and abandon successful, tentpole ip's. I'll take that over Nintendo or Microsoft's approach any day. If ND were forced to only make Uncharted games, we likely wouldn't have seen TLoU for example. Some series need to be retired for a time, and when sensible, should be reintroduced to a new audience but with callbacks to entice nostalgic older players.
Patapon 2 is available!
Yeah I beat Vesperia on 360.
Cool, I'll give it five hours.
I agree on the creativity thing but I don't get the Nintendo and Microsoft call out cuz it's not like they don't have new ip either
Because the announcement would need to be done on a weekday in Japan as well. 6pm ET on a Thursday = 8am on a Friday in Japan.
My understanding that it won't matter what time it is in Japan. Playstation moved their HO to California. Though I could be wrong...
I was about to say that exact thing :
Since 2016 they had their HQ in California so...
But that's what Nintendo does. They hardly milk anything. You get one Mario Kart a generation, one Smash Brothers, one Pokemon, etc...These Devs want to make these titles because they get to do new designs all the time. It isn't a Bungie Halo situation here. Lol...it's not like there's 20 Zelda iterations and each one is very different. BotW is the first time they're doing a direct sequel in quite some time.
Sony's current WWS mantra where devs come first is admirable and respectable, and I'm not advocating changing that culture. there's simply some IP that should be revisited IMO, LBP standing front and center. They could use more evergreen titles, especially as software becomes more important as platforms blend to being agnostic.
Though I agree with your point, let's not forget that LBP 3 released this generation. So the series already had a similar treatment to those franchises bolded in your message. There are many others, however, that could take that evergreen approach, starting with Sly Cooper or Jak.
I'm having a hard time understanding the need for a new LBP when Dreams exists. I don't think it brings much to the table anymore.
I think the most probably scenario is Sony giving some specs through new and last Wired article in Feb and announcing an SoP mid April.
And it gets even better as this is only until May + it's missing Spring games like Granblue Versus, Sakura Wars, etc. Full year line-up is insanity.
I think we get a video of something pre recorded and then an event around e3 on a live stage.
If the FFVII demo is releasing, tomorrow is the optimal time to announce it and release it same-day because it's the anniversary of FFVII. They're not going to announce it a day prior. It's going to be announced alongside the anniversary.
Unless, it's planned for a future SoP in February, in which case, we'll find out based on what happens tomorrow.

I can totally see a State of Play to introduce it and then, maybe, a live event to further talk about things (whether before or after E3, don't know).
Although I really don't see it happening (we should know not long from now, considering Japan's time). There's also a Taiwan event featuring a demo in a few weeks or so, which is kinda weird (although I guess not everybody has a PS4 at home, so having demo stations there might make some sense).
Yeah, a shadow drop would work best for an anniversary kind of thing.

A verified developer who works with VR seems to be optimistic about PSVR2.
I hope Sony tells some bits about PSVR2 plans this year even though they probably won't release it yet. They revealed Project Morpheus form factor and specs at GDC 2015, so maybe there's hope?

All-in-one means that will work without the need to be connected to the console (like the Quest)? 🤔
Maybe. But I don't lose hope :D
He clarified that he meant 'features' wise and not standalone, so probably not like the Quest.
Also...
And Sam Lake is in NY xD
So tomorrow we have 3 things to be disappointed about:
- No PS Meeting announcement
- No FF7R demo on anniversary date
- No Remedy acquisition
It's not happening tomorrow, don't worry.
It's happening on Dreams release date.
Don't get disappointed yet. Remedy acquisition might not happen.
Yep, nothing that hasn't happened before in the past 5 months.
I could see it 😂
thought u gave that life up 😏
Touché....LBP just stands out to me, but you're 100% right. Sony has a lot of IP under the umbrella to try for evergreen titles. And to be fair they do have some. MLB and Gran Turismo are exactly that.
Chopin the Third the platforming genre just doesn't have a lot of entries IMO. And unlike Dreams, LBP focused primarily on platforming and Sackboy himself is a good brand. Basically LBP4 could be Sony's Mario Maker with levels themed after other WWS games and precise jumping. You can technically do this in Dreams but I doesn't seem to be the focus of level creation so far and again, no Sackboy! Lol..
While it's true that MS and Nintendo introduce new ip's, and that they are increasingly becoming more prevalent, I believe that they tend to rely on their legacy brands more so than Sony does. Personally, Sony more so resembles a third party publisher with their ability to decouple themselves from a particular franchise they own and attempt to establish a new one. That's not to say that MS or Nintendo don't do that, but that Sony has a greater tendency to see it through.
For hours I believed that a new bird had nested in my street... but it was just a sound coming from the Ghost of Tsushima dashboard theme. 🤭
Just read that PSVR2 comment and got some goosebumps ;)
Not really surprised that PSVR2 will blow some minds, considering how Sony delivered with the first one and what they said about the future of VR was spot on imo.
I'm really really hoping for some PSVR2 tidbits too, but not counting on it.
I guess I have a different perspective. I think the usage of certain franchises like Zelda, Mario, etc. is tiresome because they've been present every generation but I understand that these characters are synonymous with Nintendo so they can't outright abandon them. They're constants, and I suppose that's something that I take issue with. Do Nintendo developers possess the agency and authority to completely abandon those characters, and create new characters and franchises like Splatoon when they so choose? I think both Sony and Nintendo could learn from Disney in the sense that Sony needs a central figure that people the world over will recognize and associate with their brand, and Nintendo needs to continue incorporating new franchises into their catalog, and rely less on specific legacy properties to carry their brand.
I agree with you that the creative freedom that Sony grants to its developers is great but simultaneously grants them the freedom to abandon properties that haven't reached their full potential. Still, I'm not so sure a LBP on PS4 would be successful. Apologies for going off-topic.
If there were ever to be another LBP, it makes the most sense to just make it in Dreams. Best of both worlds. As I said before, I think all future Mm titles will be made in BubbleBath with custom interfaces and aesthetics that make it look different from Dreams proper.
Lmao. The year end city theme Sony put out a long time ago used to sometimes make me think there was Police nearby.
Yeah they had a nice balanced system with a first try. Sure, tracking could've been better but apart from that it's such a great and comfortable headset for what it cost. Would love to see that the interactions we have seen in Boneworks VR comes a standard fare in PSVR2 games. When we have full AAA games with that kind of interaction and physics, it's gonna blow some minds for sure.
