Sony PlayStation: First Party Studios |OT4| Because we're skipping 3

That definitely lowers my confidence that TLOU 2 is this year. That certainly sounds like they'll be game assets and not just used for marketing.
Wasn't it normal to hire for temporary positions when close to the end of development ?
Not that I think TLoU2 is coming this year, but something like fake brands and logos to populate the game seems like something that would be more towards the tail end of the project.
That tweet tells me it's close to the finish line. They'll be done with all that in time for a September 2019 release.
For sure, but the game would need to be fully wrapped up in late August or September for release this year. Posting a position now, adding like a month to get that person actually in the door and hired, doesn't allow them much time to create, refine, and insert them into the finished product. Also, keep in mind this is likely one of thousands of things they're pulling together in the back half of production. 2020 is extremely likely, in my opinion.
I don't see this type of stuff taking more than six months to create. I think all these temporary positions are pointing to an autumn 2019 release.
May not necessary be in the finished product. Could be post-launch DLC.
I think TLOU2 will more likely release in 2020, it'll certainly do well no matter when it releases but if it comes in too late it'll be in the crowded part of the year, fighting it out with a lot of third parties which they don't need to do. And I bet they don't want to miss any bugs that mark down the score of the game when they don't have to.
After Days Gone I imagine we'll hear more about what's coming out for the latter half of 2019.

I'm slowly starting to think The Last of Us Part II will be a 2019 release. Anywhere from September through December.
I'm more interested in those unannounced games
What are they and when will they be announced? E3 is dead so when?

For those that think all these temporary job positions mean the game will release soon: Just show me evidence of one other game where this has been true. Just a single, solitary example with verifiable evidence, and I'd be happy to consider your position.
For reference, there are about 21 temp positions on the ND site with more that are not listed as temp positions. Usually these types of jobs create at least a news story or two(for big games at least) that would be archived for past games, so evidence should not be a problem if your prediction has merit to it.

At least one of the titles is a new game from Japan Studio so TGS in September is a safe bet.
Polygon had an interview with Mads Mikkelsen, and they asked him some stuff about Death Stranding. Says he doesn't even know how much work he has left on the game, and if he isn't bullshitting us that has to mean the game is still quite far off https://www.polygon.com/2019/1/29/1...rctic-polar-netflix-death-stranding-star-wars
One thing is certain: Jason McDonald (lead gameplay designer on God of War) will not be directing God of War 2. Jason has now got promoted to Design Director (previously Derek Daniels).

In the case of the original game, they actually hired the art director (Nate Wells) for it just 10 months before it launched. And that's a much more critical position than someone who'd be making fictional brands for the world.
I like that we'll be able to find out about the pandemic. Compared to The Last of Us which is really scant on info about how and why the infection occurred I hope we learn about the origins of the disease in Days Gone.
Flashbacks could be really interesting if done right. Always wished there were more of those in TWD.
First Contact Entertainment visited SIE HQ for a,day trip according to a tweet. Any thoughts?
They will work on a new PSVR game for Sony. Sony is certainly pleased with the financial and critical reception of Firewall.
Both of these are Sci-fi FPS:
- Killzone 3 - February 2011
- Resistance 3 - September 2011
Both of these are colourful character platform games:
- Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time - February 2013
- Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus - November 2013
... all are some of PlayStation's main franchises of the time. Like I've said before, Sony has and will continue to release games when they like.

What happened to Derek Daniels?
I kinda disagree with this, but only because I think having unique content on the platform across multiple genres is important. Plus, QD games aren't exactly expensive to make. I think they said Detroit was their biggest expense at like 40-60 million, right?
Days Gone was planned for last year.
If TLOU2 will be ready this year, it'll come out this year. Sony won't delay TLOU2 solely for Days Gone.
Yeah, typically folks double development budgets for marketing.
Definitely seems like they just didn't want to take them on.
Looking at his Twitter bio he's currently taking a break.
They already confirmed flashbacks. It must be where they'll present Courtnee Draper character and show/explain more about Deacon's history.
Don't hold your breath for that. They typically only give sales updates on games when they hit certain milestones. With this we'll likely get software and hardware shipments along with MAU's and PSN subscription data.
I wonder how much do these VR games cost and how they are selling.

GiantBomb streamed Dreams for +2 hours. Was a really fun stream and they were really impressed with the game.

Well it looks like that time has come!!
IGN are reporting that ALL 1st party development has been moved to ps5 and that dev kits are definitely all out now to 1st party.
What I would like to know does that mean that all PRO development also because when I went to last shows the games where all running on PS4PRO's and NO GAME (1st party at least) where running on base ps4.

The time has come.... IGN finally made a video about a post here on ResetEra. You're late, IGN.
ResetEra > IGN > ResetEra
Zhuge also said that there's still multiple unannounced games based on existing IP, and that some might be moved to be cross-gen or PS5 entirely.
Awesome. What better way to spend the day off than by watching Giant Bomb messing around with Dreams. I'm really happy if the crew liked the beta.
