Sony PlayStation: First Party Studios & Projects |OT2|

They're probably gonna develop 2 games simultaneously, they're gonna try to expand to 400 devs (from the current 250) and want to release a new game once every 2-3 years.
Seriously, the Killzone IP is just too tainted for a sequel or even a reboot.
If they really are making a FPS then it just needs a fresh new name, even if it is a sci-fi futuristic shooter.
Yep either way there is definitely two games (Horizon 2 and something else)
As someone who enjoyed killzone, im gonna have to agree with this.
Gotta be honest I don't think the SOCOM IP has much value either, even less so than Killzone. I really don't know why it's hyped up so much on here when I've literally never heard anyone talk about it irl.
SOCOM by Guerrilla would be the best outcome.
MP in Horizon would suck and Killzone needs a rest.

I'd be so fucking overjoyed if it was SOCOM. But I'm guessing just more KZ unfortunately, that's the only 1st pasty shooter franchise Sony seems willing to invest in.
Killzone as a launch title to show off the power of the PS5. It'll basically be a tech demo with a story, like SF.
So is it possible Horizon 2 might be further out than we expect (i.e. 2022-2023)? I could see why Sony would want to hold off on that to give it more time to cook and so it gets its own spotlight away from the launch period.
Horizon 2 would be one hell of a launch (period) title though. Right now I fully expect Horizon 2 to be the main game in development, HZD was such a huge success I don't see why they wouldn't dive straight into the sequel.
I think Horizon 2 likely went into development immediately after the original completed. If we assume that they're building a second team, then that game would be the one that's further out. They're still hiring those 150 people and Simon was hired at the beginning of this year. So they're still putting the pieces in place for it.
4 or 5 years of dev time would seem enough for a sequel, I think. So 2021 is my guess.
Unless it's smaller in scope than Horizon, right? Like it could be a MP-centric Killzone game Sony wants pushed out for launch.
They could give it the GoW treatment. I just want a Killzone RPG. Maybe something like Fallout.
That would actually work quite well from Guerrilla. Do the old first/third person switchable viewpoint. Plus if any Sony MP shooter is going to come back it has to be Socom.
Yeah exactly. Sony have been very careful in not saying anything about tlouII release window so far.
Even with initial reveal they emphasised it's very early in development. But that was two years ago and now they are hiring testers for it.
I feel like in Dec they could announce that it's coming in May or June without specifying a specific day. For specific date, they will have a proper story trailer next year with the exact date.
This is just my gut feeling from watching their progresss of the game. But at the same time this is such an ambitious project that a delay wouldn't annoy me at the end.
Oh god not this again. MP for Horizon could be the best thing ever from Sony.
You know what Sanji.........you right! lol
I love both SP and MP games. Despite the sneaky tactics that higher ups give out, I think the hate for MP games are in a way, overblown. They're really fun experiences and help keep that intensity going.
Actually when you think about it before Killzone 2, SOCOM was bigger than Killzone during it's heyday and had a bigger online presence. However, due to declining in popularity with bad management, poor sales, and newer franchises coming in. SOCOM became MIA for a long ass time or in other words dead after the closing of Zipper Interactive.
A revival could possibly happen but who knows at this point.
I don't think Guerrilla will work on a SOCOM Game. They are a studio that is capable of developing their own IPs. There is no reason to work on the IP of another studio, especially if the other IP is not much bigger than your own.
I think Simon Larouche's team will work on either a new Killzone or a new IP.

People really love Horizon, I put about 6-8 hours into it and it just didnt click with me. I expected a tighter more precise game. It looked good but beyond that the actual side quest I found tedious and everyone you met in the villages had a lifeless glare.
But it's a game that a sequel with tighter controls and more interesting side quests can really elevate it higher for me.
Them growing to 400+ employees definitely means 2 games. My guess, a refined killzone with what they've learned from Horizon and an Horizon sequel of course.

Wow chill out who do you think you are coming in here with your MP propaganda.
Yeah... but at the same time, Sony's had a rough time trying to make MP only games stick. Relying on a better known IP could work pretty well. I've also seen quite a lot of people asking for a new SOCOM too.
It's hard to go back and find European charts during SOCOM's prime, but in the US at least it's the biggest shooter franchise that Sony's ever had. SOCOM 2 was huge at the time, selling over 850k in its first two months in the US.
Yeah but they've had multiple failures trying to bring back Socom already.
I dunno...seems iffy, in the industry it's like you're only allowed one failure and then the IP is shelved.
I would love to see Socom, Warhawk, Killzone truly open world, and of course Horizon much much much bigger with more systems and maybe a co-op mode launched after release. Along with Gran Turismo, Everybody's golf, Dreams, and 3rd party, that should be enough MP tries for next gen really. You only need that big hit. Maybe even TLO2 will have amazing legs again.
Oh and isn't online really important for Death Stranding?

Lol, yeah they are going to have them make a SOCOM game after they let them free to make a new IP which was the studios biggest succes to date.
I think Killzone is also dead.

Shadow Fall was awful but luckily it wasn't called 'Killzone 4' so technically they could just ignore it ever happened! Or still perhaps a reboot of the series (God of War Ascension was pretty bad too). Personally, I think the name 'Killzone' has always been really lame and I'd much rather Guerilla did a new FPS IP instead.
Because they changed Socom into a COD clone, which killed the franchise and pissed the fans off. I don't believe that GG are working on a Socom game. But hiring some Rainbow Six Siege guys to make a new Socom game would be awesome, because
Rainbow Six Siege plays a bit like a next-gen Socom imho.
Their first attempt was an outsourced version of SOCOM that was riddled with bugs and frustrated the hell out of players. And the second was viewed as being too CoD-inspired. Sony completely mishandled the franchise last gen. It made no damn sense that it took five years after launch for Zipper (the creators of the franchise) to release their first entry for the PS3. It should've been a top priority for Sony given its popularity on the PS2.
Even if i don't think Guerrilla want to work on a IP they didn't create, Chris Lee has worked on SOCOM: Tactical Strike, SOCOM: Confrontation and SOCOM: Fire Team Bravo 3.
I don't really see Guerrilla making a game down to earth a la SOCOM and the market is already satured with this kind of game. I also think the most plausible thing it's the game of Simon Larouche is gonna be a sci-fi futuristic shooter is not gonna be a MP only game because Guerrilla never made a game without a solo and their offer for a UI designer with online game experience said it's for a "epic open world game" so maybe all of this is just for the Horizon sequel or the game of Simon Larouche is gonna be a open world and he has some experience with the open world because he was Game Director on Watch Dogs 2.

Pretty sure Sony own them. But RaD seems super passionate about it when they're making it. I don't think Sony will want to make it without RAD involvement in someway
Sony wouldn't want to make it with or without RAD involvement anyway.
I don't see it as a logical possibility for GG to be working on an existing dormant Sony IP.
I feel like the odds would look something like this tbh:
New IP : 70%
New Killzone: 29%
Other IP: 1%
