Btw Ruthnic cookie confirmed ape escape 4 in 2018. How the hell would he have info on such game ? And said no to bloodborne 2.hebwas the one who said Sony won't attend e3 2 days before Sony confirmed .
I appriaciate your post. Sounds reasonable.Their small games had barely any revenue when they saw their sister studios in the West gain revenue. Their small games like Astro Bot and such will definitely be moved to PSVR since it's all about structural organization. Make it work for game development to have a smooth environment. Pre-production takes now twice of the original time to make a new IP nowadays. You may spend more time in approval phase than the entire production depending on genre.
This is probably my thought and don't take it as facts but I think Allan Becker and Sony tried the Sony Santa Monica model when Mark Cerny mentioned it in 2013. All other teams make several small portions while a small team in pre-production make something substantial to grow larger when the production begins. The God of War team of Japan Studio (Kouno-san's team).
Allan Becker came from this environment at Sony Santa Monica with several indie collabs while they produced a big game as GOW. This strategy didn't work out in the end for Japan Studio and Shawn Layden had to step in. Now they will focus on fewer and larger games (consistent full teams, hence the move for many staff members) and passed onto VR teams for small games. One of the VR teams should revive Jumping Flash on PSVR imo. It's all about creating new experience in the end. LocoRoco was specifically made for PSP's functions according to Kouno-san, wouldn't be anything special to create a similar game for a home console.
Japan Studio was understaffed and Shawn Layden saw this as problematic. He probably also saw their external 1st party partners need to focus on creativity over manga/anime style. Why does it work for Capcom and Square Enix when Sony Japan fails all the time. Shawn Layden worked for Sony Japan in the marketing department last gen when PSP flourished and PS3 suffered. He is well aware of Konami's Team Silent success who went for a different art style who drew models of people rather than imitate manga/anime style.
I'm starting to think Days Gone didn't sell as well as GoW or Spider-Man
Spiderman and God of War are literally the 1st and 2nd best launches ever for PlayStation exclusives
There is no new IP in the world that can break that record unless it is from Naughty Dog
lol.... Ghost of Tsushima will rival Days Gone's sales numbers. 6-10 million (which is already HUGE for a brandnew IP!). But not God of War or Spider-Man.
All due respect but I think most people severely underestimate the potential of GOT. If it's a great game the Western markets will embrace it. But the subject matter resonates in the Eastern markets, it has the potential to outsell PS' best selling exclusives (thus far) with relative ease.
Just finished the thread about Sony Results Q1, for those who will miss it
I mean, TLOU will go after Uncharted 4/TLOU numbers :Plol.... Ghost of Tsushima will rival Days Gone's sales numbers. 6-10 million (which is already HUGE for a brandnew IP!). But not God of War or Spider-Man.
The only game that will go after God of War and Spider-Man will be The Last of Us 2. TLOU2 will be gigantic!
16-20+ million. Yep.
If is cross gen, it might even surpass that.lol.... Ghost of Tsushima will rival Days Gone's sales numbers. 6-10 million (which is already HUGE for a brandnew IP!). But not God of War or Spider-Man.

Why can't the other titles be cross gen as well ?
All PS4 games will be cross-gen thanks to 100% PS5 BC :P
We see a whole bunch of game play a year plus ago it's not been that long .
Them announcing early is not a big deal it happens in other media all the time .
Also looking how Sony games are selling this gen i sure the marketing guys know what they are doing .
I mean the game that would be launching with the PS5. Just like Halo and BoTW. Launch titles tend to get a boost from that. I mean just look at Knack sales numbers.

BC isn't cross gen.
Ghost will easily do much more than Days Gone, it'll be reviewed well.lol.... Ghost of Tsushima will rival Days Gone's sales numbers. 6-10 million (which is already HUGE for a brandnew IP!). But not God of War or Spider-Man.

For now, though, we're satisfied knowing that there's more than meets the eye here. This is a bold production compared to the developer's previous effort, the misunderstood Entwined, and that somewhat surprised us. PixelOpus has said that its ambition is to make imaginative and beautiful games with heart, and it's comfortably living up to its mantra with this attempt.
Are people that big on the setting of the game if it doesn't have any supernatural stuff though?Ghost will easily do much more than Days Gone, it'll be reviewed well.

I don't want to start another "zombie fatigue"-thingy but I think DG's setting is much easier to sell
I don't see why supernatural elements matter, Sony is a marketing machine this gen anyways.Are people that big on the setting of the game if it doesn't have any supernatural stuff though?

That's what I'm saying

Days Gone is selling well and is on track to reach 6 - 10 million. That's already huge!Ghost will easily do much more than Days Gone, it'll be reviewed well.
Great to hear that!Apologies for the self-promotion, but Concrete Genie is awesome. Was very impressed with it during a chunky demo recently. Out on 9th October.

Plz!!!PlayStation fans plz 😭 everything don't gotta be realism and cinematic if it's good support the boys and girls at pixel opus 😭🙏
Well, that's 3.5 million more than people watched Days Gone during E3.I wouldn't be that sure. Days gone did extremely well and zombies are still highly popular. "Only" 3.5 million people watched Ghost's gameplay trailer. (on the PS channel)
I hope Sucker Punck knock it out of the park but they need to raise the bar. Infamous SS was a good game, not an excellent game.
I don't see Days Gone hitting 10 million while Ghost will do similar to Horizon if not more.Days Gone is selling well and is on track to reach 6 - 10 million. That's already huge!
Let's wait and see what Ghost of Tsushima, another brandnew IP, will do. Zombies sell. Samurai/Ninja games.... we have to wait and see.
No price announced?Apologies for the self-promotion, but Concrete Genie is awesome. Was very impressed with it during a chunky demo recently. Out on 9th October.
