Ooh that's interesting. So now second party is a thing!?

I know back in the PSone days people referred to second party as third party developed games that were published by a first party. But it's a name that's kinda drifted away in recent years. Interesting that Sony's officially using the label now and it's not just a gamer thing.

Remember when Sony wasn't going to market Days Gone because they didn't believe in it?

Sounds like they just changed Gio's job title.

But that is the definition of second party right? thirds making exclusive games.

Like Spiderman

Internally there's not been such a thing as "second party". Spider-man, Until Dawn, Detroit etc are all first party according to Sony.
It's just a term that fans started using, probably for console wars.

Nah, there have been Sony execs and 2nd party developers using the term 2nd party before. It's not as well established, but it did not originate from fans. However it recent years it kinda died down and indeed got mostly merged with 1st party

Interesting turn of phrase, "the new term".

Shawn Layden: Worldwide Studios, like I say, we've been going really heavy into story-driven gaming. The power of the narrative. Big, spectacular experiences. But not a whole lot in the multiplayer side of things, I think. That's an area where you will likely see us start to make more noise in the new term.

I'm impressed that Studio Manchester still hasn't had a proper reveal. It was founded in 2015.

The quote about the multiplayer sector is interesting (and gonna give some peeps heartburn). Maybe Guerrilla really is planning an online-centric game instead of just Horizon 2 multiplayer.

So Jim haven't bought a studio yet. What a failure.
Shout out to the person that made this joke on discord, that I can't remember who.

Shu has also mentioned the lack of multiplayer success that they've had. I actually think we're going to see Part II's multiplayer component get a big push from Sony. It's going to be attached to a massive game, so they'd be foolish not to take advantage of that.

Gio Corsi as the Head of Global Second Party games is a great find ! Also nice to see PixelOpus on that pic, I mentioned the other day they weren't listed on the WWS portal.

I don't, going by Naughty Dogs history they'll drop support after the first year, it's never going to have an e-sport or competitive community and judging from the recent microtransactions debacle may have P2W weaponry

Now Guerrilla's second studio game on the other hand, that may be Sony's magnum opus considering that they hired devs who worked on Rainbow Six Siege, that alone sold me on whatever Guerrilla's second studio has cooking up.

Some people are clamoring for a new Socom. I really believe Guerrilla is by far the most talented MP developer that Sony has right now.
