SIE Worldwide Studios |OT5| It's backwards compatible with |OT4|

[NekuWitTheDraco74]

I don't think that's sustainable. They can eat loss for a couple of years but eventually they're gonna wanna see a profit from their first party studios.

Bruh this is not the time or place for Ms discussion. So IMA put this in spoiler tag and it'll be my last Ms talk in here

Spoiler

heyve said that they want gamers to play the way they want, whether it be gamepass, PC, Xbox, xcloud, etc. They've also said that gamepass won't replace regular purchases. So if you don't want to use gamepass.... Just buy the damn game

Love how unbothered you are

 

[shinobi602]

But, Sony has stuff to show like updates to existing titles we're dying hear about, and Shinobi teased they have stuff for this year.

I just meant there's still unannounced PS4 stuff in the pipe before next gen rolls around. I didn't specify this year.

 

[OrdinaryPrime]

I don't know. Obsidian was a pretty good get.

Click to shrink...

That wasn't announced at the event referenced afaik.

 

[nolifebr]

This year seems to be locked up. The only thing missing was a big game for the second half of the year, and Sony already answered that with Death Stranding.

I wonder why they didn't use E3 this year to announce these games so they can focus entirely on the PS5 next year. Hopefully we'll see more at PSX later this year.

I'm happy to be playing Borderlands 3 and Death Stranding this Fall. Seems like some of you have lost focus on games available to play. Which is what should matter the most. Not whether Sony or Microsoft is currently generating the most headlines.

I mean there is only one warranted response, buy Microsoft and reacquire those same studios.

We should now have a 30 page discussion about the plausibility of this very scenario.

You need to cool down, Sony take it's time and will communicate when they estimate this is the moment to do it.

Of MS want to cripple Sony, they only need to poach some of ND leads like Druckmann

Not for PS4 but a next gen Wipeout is imo a safe bet.

Maybe Firesprite with lots of former Liverpools devs.
And they have VR experience after The Persistence.

Or London, or a 3rd party partnership.

 

[MattAces]

Since it's Sony, if Wipeout for PS5 is going to happen, watch them announce it with no VR support.

If next GT doesn't do full VR, they can fuck off.

Sony: announcing next Wipeout without VR support.

[MattAces]

Whenever you think that, certain *game* or *decision* is a no brainer for Sony to do it.
Just remember this.

They are the same company who announced Astro Bot through a blog post, when they have an E3 press conference/E3 countdown surprise a day later.

Most likely they never imagined that Astro would be the sucess that it was.
Only after that journalist compared it to Mario 64 that the game started to get attencion. Sony should not be praised for this.

 

[Rodjer]

People who thinks that MS is buying these studios to deliver high-budget AAA games will be disappointed.

Click to shrink...

Nah, i do expect Obsidian, Playground and Ninja Theory to deliver AAA games once they ramp up the hiring and just like Sony, they won't make only AAA games. Other studios will probably settle for AA and experimental games first.

Some of you lot are unbelievable. Clueless actually

 

[BradGrenz]

Ofc, and not just Sony, Google and Amazon too. But MS strikes me as the winner of such a bid.

Click to shrink...

If you are selling company it's not always just about who slides the largest number across the table. Insomniac's greatest successes have all been in collaboration with Playstation. Out of those potential owners Sony is far and away the one I wold trust to keep the team thriving and successful.

No. It's not a rumor. PlayStation and all of Sony are moving to hosting their cloud services on Azure.

Click to shrink...

Sony hasn't commited to anything. And using Azure for certain services is not the same as using xCloud for PS Now, xCloud relies on Xbox One S blades right now. That is totally useless for PS Now. If anything, it's far more likely Sony will co-locate their own server hardware in Azure data centers.

nah, is Insomniac is bought by MS and cut ties with Sony, I could see Sony letting Insomniac getting Ratchet and Resistance IP. they did it with Quantic Dreams. MS will get Ratchet and Resistance collection and maybe even new games. actually, isn't there rumor about new Ratchet and Clank game in development? yeah that's probably gonna be Xbox exclusive and be on gamepass. I just hope my pc is good enough to play it because I don't own Xbox

Click to shrink...

One, a franchise is different from a single title. Two, that's not what happened with Quantic Dream. Sony still owns those IPs, QD presumably paid a licensing fee for the right to create and sell PC ports. You'll notice those games aren't announced for Xbox.

If Sony still have PS4 exclusives unannounced then it would suggest to me they're smaller games?

[Temascos]

If there's unannounced games from Sony I bet they are smaller scale titles, on the scale of Concrete Genie for instance rather than AAA titles. Something to let smaller teams have their chance to shine.

 

[Gerwant]

If they have unannounced PS4 games, I recon they will be announced at PS Meeting in 2020 as PS5 games, with blog post confirming there is also a PS4 version.

This is how I would do it.
