[Rumor] Brian Crecente heard that Sony cancelled quite a few games a while back. (lacks enough insight/big picture to know if true or not)

[TheWickedSoul]

PS5 ded

 

[Piston]

I was just assuming they were saving up for the PS5.

 

[SunBroDave]

no wonder we haven't seen anything from TLOU2 this year...

 

[Cugel]

That why I never got my Demon Souls remake :(

 

[Deleted member 5129]

Unannounced games, I assume?

 

[Kyoufu]

Projects get cancelled all the time.

 

[IsThatHP]

If its anything, which I doubt, its probably stuff that had yet to see the light of day.

 

[Tregard]

My heart breaks knowing Pupeteer 2 and PSASBR2 will have been among these.

 

[nightstalker962]

Damn, that sucks.

 

[Cerulean_skylark]

I find this an odd insight. Most AAA sony studios have been working on something and we know there is a next gen announcement soon.

 

[Minilla]

I would imagine publishers cancel or shuffle around projects quite regularly.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Most likely starting with Quantic Dream I reckon. Their first party studio are either not far along to show something (unless Ghost of Tsushima was quietly cancelled) or too far along so it wouldn't impact trade shows.

 

[ClivePwned]

did they mothball Crecente as well which is why he's seeking new opportunities?

 

[Braaier]

huh

this is out of left field

 

[5taquitos]

That's about as vague as it gets.

 

[TheInfinityGauntlet]

I can't believe they cancelled Knack 3 those bastards

 

[Dothraki Horse]

I care about Ghost of tsushima and I hope that will see this game soon.

 

[Kyrios]

Probably some unannounced projects.

Info is vague enough to not really get fussed over at the moment.

 

[Kolx]

AAA games or small games? first party or from a third party? this feels almost pointless without some hint about the scale of things we're talking about here.

 

[NateDrake]

Projects get cancelled all the time and it has been clear Sony shifted focus/resources towards PS5 by 2018. None of that is a surprise & is pretty industry standard.

Weird 'information'. Makes it sound like many high-profile games got cancelled and Sony's in trouble, which I doubt is the case.

 

[MarsipanRumpan]

Playstation all stars 2 better not be one of them :(

 

[gofreak]

Unannounced games, I assume?

Assuredly.

And in that case, and given the mention of 'many' - we're probably talking about games in pre-production not getting greenlit, rather than in-production games being cancelled...which happens all the time.

 

[slothrop]

Doesn't everyone cancel games all of the time? Its healthy to have some percentage of internal failures and proofs of concept that didn't shake out. If you don't, you probably aren't taking enough risks.

 

[Terbinator]

Last of Us Part 1

 

[Deleted member 8196]

This is normal

 

[Kordelle]

lol @ Deep Down, does anybody belive this game was in development after 2013, 2014 max?

 

[Deleted member 10737]

i can't imagine any of the already announced games getting cancelled, but i would have thought they'd want a lot of projects to be in development for ps5...

 

[SeanBoocock]

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

Doesn't capcom own Deep Down? Why ask about Sony cancelling it?

 

[Nightengale]

Admittedly it's vague, and to an extent - it's kinda a non-news because unannounced games are cancelled all the time, but hey.

 

[scare_crow]

This is the quite the non-story.

 

[Guymelef]

The Last of Us 2 and Death Stranding probably.

 

[Smash-It Stan]

He's making it seem like high profile/in production games were cancelled.

 

[Deleted member 135]

Every studio cancels games all of the time.

Sony Santa Monica canceled a sci-fi game and then we got the greatest game of all time from them, God of War.

 

[Deleted member 52190]

Unannounced games, I assume?

Yah, all the annouanced games have release dates already or are already in heavy development.

 

[Niks]

Siren 2 pls sony

 

[Toumari]

Don't blame Sony once they saw that Gamescom footage of Death Stranding.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

Well at the very least Toyama got his project cancelled after Gravity Rush 2 for sure, he said that himself, but we don't even know at what stage it was.

 

[Cactuar]

Sony cancels games all the time.

Shuhei Yoshida of Sony Interactive Entertainment interviews with Insomniac's Ted Price.

"We cancel more games than we make."

 

[Chopin the Third]

Hmmmmmm. Poor Gravity Rush 3

 

[MistahS]

Afrika 2! Nooooooo.

 

[Vinc]

I don't really understand. I'm sure there's been some projects that didn't get off the ground, but for the most part, they wouldn't be announcing PS5 projects yet, and all their internal teams are either accounted for on PS4, or obviously on a PS5 project at this point. Japan Studios I could see having a cancelled project or two, but beyond that I don't really know where those cancelled projects could have come from. External teams for sure, I presume.

[MILKGOLOLBAD]

I feel like those tweets are a waste of internet space as they are complete non-info.

 

[VeePs]

It's sad but honestly it happens. Sometimes games fail to meet milestones or it's just not working out, etc. Hopefully no one gets laid off because of this and the the studios can make a successful next game.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

This is normal plus this also to vague to get anything from .
