Sony PlayStation: First Party Studios & Projects |OT2|
- Thread starter JuanLatino
- Start date

Oh, and this finally explains what Kodera meant when earlier this year, he told to investors that the PlayStation division would go through a "quiet/soft" period before returning with full power.
This is why when Shawn said in the last PlayStation blogcast that Sony will "amp up" communications and "find ways to get their message out" and "share hopes and dreams of WWS" etc.
They must have something planned.
Their investment in 3rd party studios hasn't been cut down.
Three of their major games this year, Detroit, Shadow of the Colossus and Spider-Man were all collaborations with third parties. Supermassive as also confirmed they have more exclusives on the way and as far as we know Wild is still a thing and Death Stranding is coming.
And they are still investing in smaller games with third parties. They're just coming in the form of VR and PlayLink games (plus a few more like MediEvil). Sure they may not be the games you want but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
And they are investing in their studios. They've literally established two new ones this generation: PixelOpus and Manchester (with rumors of the new one in San Diego). Others like Guerrilla are significantly expanding.
Also glossing over the fact that games are more expensive now and take longer which is resulting in less output across the entire industry compared to the past.
Sony might think like Nintendo that they don't really need E3. IF they formally announced PS5 during that one event, the show would be bonkers anyway. Just teasing it would not be enough since we all know it's coming, imo.
They will though. A conference with the PS5 reveal plus launch games will get everyone back on board
PS: Hi from a patron btw, keep up the good work ;)
Yup, if that's their idea of fun, I wonder how a kick in the nuts gets processed.
In hindsight it could be a good thing, but it still sucks that they announced this on the PS4's 5th anniversary with nothing firm about what is going to replace it, and why it's a good move. I'll tell ya, they'd better show Death Stranding's release date, and a new TLoU 2 trailer featuring Joel at TGAs to offset this news.
I also think this is because how weak the competition from MS has been, think about it, when the 360 was winning in the earlier days of last generation, it took them a while but Sony went all out with exclusives. But I'm really happy to see what MS is doing right now and I hope they keep getting more studios to push their first party portfolio. It will hopefully make Sony more competitive next generation. But on the other hand, I don't think MS has a chance next generation when you consider that Sony's first party studios have gotten the foundation for their new IPs and will be able to push games faster. Just in the first two years of the PS5 I think we will have Horizon 2, a Uncharted game, Spider-man 2, new Ratchet & Clank, Bloodborne 2 (after FS is down with Sekiro) and more.

I'm hoping it's a big title, hopefully a RPG.
I think it's just that the third parties aren't bringing the AAA single player content as much as they were so Sony is doing it to round out their platform's portfolio.
They were funding stuff like Journey because no one else was. Now Sky is seemingly getting Apple money. Until Dawn, that studio just said they're working on Sony stuff, and Detroit was that same sort of thing just this year.
So anyone know what happens to Benji's one last big AAA game? Where is that now being shown next year if Sony are at no events?
Probably at PSX, no? They can still release PS4 games in 2020/21.
Wtf are you doing Sony? Unbelievable.
Even if you had nothing new to show at least be there for GoT, TLOU2 and Death Stranding, do something.

Days Gone: confirmed for April 2019
Dreams: July 2019
The Last of Us Part II: Fall 2019
Death Stranding: Cross Gen whenever PS5 launches
Ghost of Tsushima: Cross Gen whenever PS5 launches
Funniest part is that people for some unknown reason forgot about all the games released this year and all the games that will be release in 19
My take: They will release most of their games at 2019, maybe couple left for the end of 2019 and start of the 2020. They won't announce ps5 at next e3 so they can't show all the new games without it. Same goes for the 3rd party developers. They can't show new games without proper next gen announced
So Sony will have nothing new to show from FP and TP.

They dont need a stage for that.
Simply releasing new trailers on their Youtube channel is enough. Or they could do Sony Directs maybe.
I have to believe so just because I can't see them releasing all three of them in 2020 and then releasing the PS5. I feel at least one of them is releasing next year based on that, but I have no inside info. Just thinking out loud. =P
OK. So where will it be revealed? At TGAs and then just released next year or hear nothing at all for the whole of next year and it releases in 2020?
My point here is that surely Sony will do something next year as doing nothing at all makes no sense for the current upcoming games. Like I said in a previous post Shawn indicated they will amp things up and get the message out so again something is planned one way or another.
Lol Complacent Sony strikes again. I knew they were being super quiet for a reason. Just didn't expect it was because they had nothing to show lol.
I would much rather trade Death Stranding and TLOU2 if that's what ends up happening.
They do need a stage for it. Trailers and announcements from E3 will end up getting way more attention.
I don't understand what Sony was thinking here - even if you got nothing new 1st party to show just stuff it with a bunch of 3rd party reveals and some new gameplay of your own games and you can "win", just like MS did this year. Put some effort in so it doesn't look like you don't care.
Damn I can see why they'd do it...
Still it kinda depresses me lol :[
E3 is like Christmas ( i dont actully celebrate christmas ) for me and Sony always be bringing the biggest presents
2019 E3 Christmas might as well be cancelled :(
I hope santa Nintendo brings has some gifts for E3, but the last couple of their E3s kinda sucked.

Wasn't the game that will sell the most this year, RDR2, not at E3...
Yes, TGA turned out to be a good event to announce dates/release windows for some games.
Even with the cross-play, psnow downloads and psn name changes news?
After these news I am almost certain we get date for TloU 2 in Game awards
Sometimes I fell that people enjoy PR moves more than games
Thank God it's not what actually matters
P.S. can I get a discord link I won't shitpost about Days Gone a promise

I'm also astonished that people seem to think that game announcements are more important than the actual games.
Sony will not drop E3 forever. They announced all they have to offer and they might have unnanounced stuff – which can be just announced with a blogpost, which also goes for release dates. This gives devs the opportunity to just work on their games and having everything out by 2020, before the PS5 launches. Although we might see a game that might launch like BotW, same day for both consoles.
The PS5 will be announced in February. Showing of tech demos, the hardware, some games. E3 2020 will be their comeback showing of launch games and launch window games, revealing price, OS and new features and such. Release of the console just like always in November.
