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

I mean, if Sony is really making BB2 i can see Japan Studio working on it.
Omnipotent was clear, BB2 is not in development at From.
From is working on Armored Core and another Action-RPG title.
We don't even have a code name for the PS5. Remember Orbis?
ERA users, he shared some info about Sekiro pre-reveal and he was right.
lol i bet you some people from Knack team worked on Bloodborne, there must be some overlap on the Japan Studio development teams.
no, he said "Days Gone looks to have a 80-90k opening."
Again, data is not out yet.
Third party publishers are starting to get their kits, so it's probably only a matter of time at this point. That's why Cerny got out in front of the leaks with that PS5 overview interview.
I'll guess we'll see in a relatively short space of time. But if it's 80K + Benji's word on Japanese market sales, even when they're closed, becomes law around these parts... At least for me lol.
It's most likely around that just not officially "confirmed" so go bend!
Yes, because From is making it, the crow fest will be something to behold.
But even without From it wouldn't be a problem, they have a solid base to follow.
In a production/technical support role, sure.
Regarding game direction and design I don't think so, at least it's not mentioned.
My cousins' godafther's, sister second cousin told me the code name Shu gave it is "fiveesspee" all one word.
Yeah in the production/technical side, they probably work in every game on the studio switching between games when they reach full production.
I think Sony Japan could make a good BB2 they have a solid foundation to build on.
From comes once in a while and give a thumbs up, and I'd take that game any day of the week. Honestly, should just patch BB for PS5 and market it again.

They never called it the PS5 though. Should have a code name leaking in the near future.
Didn't AMD kinda leaked the name when they shared their last report? :P
The time it takes to make a new IP vs. sequel is entirely dependent on how different the new IP is. Remember, Bend took 7 years to release Days Gone after Uncharted Golden Abyss, and that was because they went through various new IP concepts and had to choose one. I bet they even have ideas that they still want to do and are not entirely dead, but any new IP from them will more than likely use the foundation of Days Gone (like the assets and resources) and be another open world action shooter.
Not to get into the territory of "fan dreaming", but I'd love to see them do a game similar to the cancelled PS3 game Eight Days. That game had you taking on a mob syndicate and had you travelling across highways to visit eight states (across eight days, hence the title). Going from Days Gone to that should be nowhere near as challenging as building something entirely different.
Benji has said himself he has 0 contacts when it comes to Japanese data so he liked just pulled that number from the Mediacrate thread.
He just knows US data from what I know so anything outside of the US is just a guess or coming from an official outlet.
Days Gone IS Bend's new IP. They are set for the future. Then Ghost of Tsushima is coming. Sucker Punch's new IP.
I think Naughty Dog may do a new IP next, after TLOU. Then there is Japan Studio. And 3rd party collaborations, working a new Sony IPs.
And yeah, I still think Sony needs 2 more AAA studios. They don't have enough right now for AAA PS5 AND PSVR stuff.
It's because I knew people would overhype it.
I'll provide further expectations once the next State of Play is announced. (Yes, it's something Sony wants to do regularly)
Looking forward to it. I think we'll get more substantial stuff, but after the last one. Expectations are very low imo.
Teenager that works in an Apple store. That should be enough to tell you he knows less than nothing about PS leaks. Runs a dead gaming site and is looking to gain traffic by any way.
I don't think you're looking at the broader picture here for how Sony prioritizes ushering out new IPs for new generations of PlayStation. I mean, look at how Killzone and inFamous were basically soft-rebooted for the PS4. Sony was hurting badly at this time so they had little flexibility in what they could do with their studios, but you could see that even though they had no major new IPs ready that they still wanted to give that sense of "newness" with the unveiling of the PS4 that new IPs give.
Now, most their first party studios were only able to deliver one installment of their latest franchises on PS4. That means we are going to see more Horizon, God of War, Spider-Man, etc. after their PS5 sequels. This ties up their first party in a lot of ways so I could just see them having Bend be picked for making a new IP before getting on a PS5 sequel to Days Gone because of how important it is to Sony to have new IPs at the center of their first party offerings each generation. Hence why I believe Sony is in a tight spot in that regard so a move like that for Bend would be justifiable.
But yeah, Naughty Dog is definitely doing a new IP and Guerrilla seems to be doing one too. Even so, that still seems minimal and not where Sony wants to be for major new IPs on PS5. Third parties would be an immediate solution, so I hope to see that too.
Well, they said that they will do more of these throughout 2019 lol.
I expect an episode around e3.
Yeah, the next few weeks are booked because they just launched Days Gone and don't want to eclipse it's sales momentum with significant new announcements.
I don't think you understand how hard it is to create a new AAA franchise. Bend is not working on a second "new IP". They are a small studio with 130 people and they worked for years to create their new AAA IP with Days Gone. I took Guerrilla almost 8 years to create Horizon. Bend Studio is set with the Days Gone franchise. Guerrilla is soon big enough (400 devs) to have one big AAA team and a pre-production team for a second AAA project. So there is maybe a "new IP".
I'm not sure TLOU2 will get a sequel. I think Neil doesn't want to create multiple sequels like for Uncharted. Maybe they will finish the TLOU storyline with TLOU2. Who knows?
But right now, almost every major Sony AAA studio is set with their own franchises. Days Gone and Ghost of Tsushima are new IPs. Now we have to look at the 3rd party collaborations. Housemarque, Supermassive Games, Arrowhead, Ready at Dawn, From Software and KojiPro. It's possible (!) all of them are working on Sony games (I mean, we already know Supermassive and KojiPro are).
Calling it now, the next State of Play will happen exactly during Sony's normal E3 press conference time 😃
BB2 is likely an in house project. I don't think From is involved if Bruce is correct.
Sooo... at the same time as Square Enix Press conference? Not sure it would be a good idea... :/
