Bingo. Much more flexible.
Unreal Engine 4. Making new engines takes time and money.

Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Studio establishes External Development Department
- Thread starter modiz
- Start date
This gen? R&C 2016, Spider-Man, Helldivers and Farpoint are a few of them.
To be clear, San Mateo is SIE's headquarters, so external development is just one department at the studio (PixelOpus is also based within the studio, for instance) but that's the main NA external dev division. Sony Santa Monica and Sony San Diego have also had their own external dev divisions but they seemed to operate on a smaller scale.
It ended in 2016 with Bound and Here They Lie. After that key members of the external development team went on to form Annapurna Interactive
If they are foming a whole new external development & publishing team, they have big shoes to fill
Yeah but those games are not that great lol
The Unfinished Swan, Fat Princess, Journey and Flower now those are amazing games when SSM delivered some of the best PS3 games
Oh, a collaboration with Mistwalker would be a dream. Someone must bring Sakaguchi back to console gaming.
They announced a smartphone game in January, didn't they?
It should be find if it's not done with swooshy transitions - and the zombie/ghost/thing doesn't move too fast. I was thinking the other day just how good that could be in VR.
Preach it. One of the best things about the PS1 era was how experimental and/or adventurous and/or bonkers so many of the Japanese games were. Didn't hurt that a lot of them were very good also.
definitely lol
the games you listed were also produced and signed by the team that now is at Annapurna, they were the ones I was alluding to when saying the new division had big shoes to fill
Something on the scale of XDev Europe, but for the Japan market. I would expect some interesting partnerships with Japanese studios, although probably nothing crazy.
It seems that roles are now more established between Japan "swiss knife" Studio made to collaborate with others, and Japan Studio as a creative cauldron for first-party games.
There's a very real possibility it's the three of them.Japan Studio x From Software
Japan Studio x Kojima Productions
Japan Studio x Konami
Take your pick or choose all of them
God help us all.
If they make it set in modern times, they could make up a reason why you're able to see what the shibito see through a strange app on your phone/tablet. And to see what they're doing, you gotta look at your character's phone/tablet. Give the devices battery lives and add portable chargers as an item lol. So many possibilities.
