With Ghost of Tshushima released, all Sony's 1st party studios are now focused on the PS5. What do you want to see more from them this next gen?
- Thread starter Tiago Rodrigues
- Start date
For ND:
With gameplay similar to this:
+
So... Futuristic Uncharted with a double jump and air dash?
Days Gone 2 needs to happen, those Hordes gonna be glorious with 10TF and a SSD ;)
First one was already outstanding, but I'm sure they could improve so many things in the sequel and add new stuff.
New Naughty IP please, I still love UC and TLOU, but I'd rather they make something new for the new gen.
GoW 2 and Horizon 2 are already given and I'll welcome them with open arms and wallet.
What Sony really should do is bring back COLONY WARS with a bang, make it a PSVR2 launch title and go all in!
1st party titles should all be 100% playable in VR, guess that one will remain a dream for some time, but we'll know for sure when they announce PSVR2.

Too be fair if you're waiting on more Bloodborne you're not really waiting on a Sony studio. But yes, Bloodborne 2 is always the answer.
For me I'd go for
- Universal improvements in accessibility. I won't benefit from this myself but many players will, and I think if ND can share what they learned with TLOU2 and standardise the experiences on that front it will be fantastic to see.
- Focus on the experience and not the scale. Worlds don't have to be massive to be immersive or high quality, and if they want to cut down on development times it may well be essential. A fully fleshed out, and fun experience can be done in a town the size of Silent Hill 2's (Or other PS2 games).
- Development times were brutal this generation - It needs to be reduced however possible to be sustainable for both companies and the people making these games. Think of what Shaun Layden said recently regarding this, a full AAA game with that Sony quality will catch attention nowadays, and they could experiment a lot more in their biggest titles.
- Retain talent and support victims of past abuse. This entwines with the previous points made but with tough development cycles comes departures or a toxic work culture, this must be confronted in a clear, honest manner that no longer tolerates BS from abusers in the game industry, their time is up. Regardless of their position and contributions to Sony and the team they work for, if they are racist, transphobic, sexist, etc tell them to change their attitude or fuck off. If this happens on a wide scale, it will likely lead to an improvement in work culture as employees feel safe and healthy and the games benefit as a result.
- Cultivate games and talent from Japan. They may not be able to buy out Capcom or Square, but there are likely a lot of talented people who want to have a crack at those kind of games, fighting, rpgs, puzzles, etc. Give them a studio and a chance to shine.
- Build on the smaller studios where possible. Bend and Sucker Punch took a long time with their titles this generation, it may help them to see how the bigger studios do things and where they can be supported. I believe Bend Studio has expanded a bit since Days Gone so hopefully they'll be able to do better on their next title.

I'd be down for a Sci-Fi RPG, like say the first Mass Effect, from Naughty Dog. Though they do like telling a Story from a character's perspective and not the players so maybe RPG is not for them. You have no choice in what happens in their games. You either do it or stop playing. Kinda goes against the notion of Quests and Dialogue trees. I'm excited for Sony First Party on PS5 regardless though.
this is what we will get.. i think we will geta sequel to biker deacon from bend though...
sequels, sequels... would rather have new types of games from sony reall
I would like to see a game like Mass Effect from Sony. Gimme some good scifi rpg stuff pls.
Edit: beaten.

Santa Monica - God of War 2 and a new action-based IP
Sucker Punch - New platformer IP
Naughty Dog - New IP in a unique setting and a TLoU3 with a new cast
SIE Japan - New JRPG, linear action IP, Silent Hill, and a new Ueda game
Insomniac - We know we will get a new Spiderman and Ratchet, but i'd like them to make a Ghostbusters game and a new IP
Bend - Now is the time for a new Syphon Filter
Guerrilla - New IP after Horizon
Sucker Punch - New platformer IP

Yes please! God of War is perfect in the way they did semi-open world but still kept it linear.
Also bring on more Uncharted and TLOU!
I think in general I'd like to see more upbeat and colourful games, and less gritty, mature-toned and/or grimdark fare. Not that there's anything wrong with the latter in moderation, but if a large quantity of Sony's studios want to aspire to be like ND and not much else then that's a problem. More platformers, more Japanese games, more blue skies. Borrow the Jet Set Radio IP from Sega and put Japan Studio to work on a new one or something. That's the kind of game the world needs right now.
I will say though that the PS5 event had a nice line in diversity, so that bodes well for the future.
Of course you are. I'll dream with you.

Sequels to everything, except Naughty Dog who should try a new IP.
I wouldnt mind Sony Bend doing something new, but Days Gone seems like easy money for them to rake in

As many new IPs as possible. The beginning of a console cycle is a great time to explore new ideas.
I expect them to all become top-tier devs releasing 90+ meta games. MS may win next-gen in terms of quantity but Sony's 1st party will reach new heights in terms of quality.
Horizon 2 is already looking like a Uncharted->Uncharted 2 jump in quality and I expect the same for the next games from Bend, Insomniac and Sucker Punch. All of them (maybe not Bend yet) will enter the league ND and SSM are in.
GT seems to be finally on the right track and I can't wait for the rumored SH reboot from Japan studio and all their more creative, expiremental output, same with Pixel Opus.

Experimentation. Genre differentiation. Multiple smaller and medium sized titles. MP.
Basically go back to the PS3 days were we had the Uncharted 2's, TLOU but we also had weird titles and MP titles and other genre dips. (Fighting games, FPS, JRPGs, etc...)
Go crazy, experiment again.
Make Gyro a standard for First Party.
Also FPS new SciFi I.P RPG from Insomniac. Bring back Legend of Dragoon and Alundra. Make a new Ape Escape.
Put out a big MP shooter like MAG or WarHawk.
Arcade Racer.

Days Gone 2 - This needs to happen and I'm pretty sure it probably already is in the works. Days Gone while rough around the edges was still a solid bit of fun and there could be a truly great series here.
MotorStorm - a return of this would be great for PlayStation racing fans.

They had a dedicated studio for arcade racing games...they were called Evolution and they were fantastic....they shut them down.
Its kind of a bummer cause I think its pretty predictable what most of the studios will be up to for the majority of the gen. Hopefully there will be some surprises along the way.
I need more original IP from Japan Studio. They just seem to collab on other projects quite a bit. But I want more games like The Puppeteer, Gravity Rush, Ape Escape etc.
Oh, the things I would do for Tearaway 2, Sunset Overdrive 2, a new IP from SSM, and a new IP from ND. Sadly only the latter seems likely.
