I'm talking about XDev, those games aren't being ported to Xbox regardless.
Thanks for clarifying.
Understood, and yeah, it definitely allows for more flexibility in that regard.
It does, yep.
EDIT: oh wow I managed to quote the edit not the original message I was answering to lol
Well Bend Studios is in the credits of burning shore as support studio (together with London Studios).
But now I want to know what the original message was. 🤣
lol, a wild timeline.
Lmao!!
Lol, you were fast because I immediately realised my error!
I misread your message and I thought you were talking about second party games using Decima and I was trying to be a smart arse saying that Call of the Mountain used UE4, not Decima!
Oh nice. From what I've seen, Angie is an extremely hard worker and a really good person to boot. Congrats to her!
I don't think you have to worry about Sony forcing others to use Decima. I think other studios would want to use it because of it's versatility. The issues with Frostbite was basically mandated that all studios shift to using their in house engine to move away from using the Unreal Engine. The major issue with that shift was that all of the games that ran on Frostbite were first person shooters primarily. So getting the engine to do anything else was going to be difficult and frustrating. We can all look to Anthem and Mass Effect: Andromeda and their troubled development as examples of the problem. Decima started off the same too but branched out during the PS4 generation to become what it is now.
haven, firewalk, firepsrite, pixel opus, Housemarque all use UE
Deviation (1st party game but the studio is not owned by Sony)
Well... I guess this is where the request line starts, so put Twisted Metal 1, 2 & Black HD REMAKE Super Remastered Ultimate Edition in there, please?
From the same news, another bit that someone should probably create a new thread about:

Horizon Forbidden West Sequel in Development, Guerrilla Confirms
Guerrilla still has big plans to continue telling the story of Aloy and the world of Horizon.

It won't be like that. You must have forgotten that GoT and Horizon proved for them that new IP can be huge successes, Days Gone "flopped" so Bend will do something else, SSM and ND are already working on stuff other than their main franchise. Sure you can expect successful franchises to continue, but that's really overblown.
That's awesome. She's been around at Guerrilla for a long, long time and from everything I've heard and read about Guerrilla, she was the backbone of the company for a long ass time. This is a good decision.
Amazing promotion! So happy for her and the new step in her career. Wishing all the best and success in the world!
Thank you for the in depth explanation, I wasn't aware of the videogames landscape back when this was released so the trailer thing was the only stuff that stuck with me

Man, I would have loved another ModNation Racers. It wasn't perfect and the loading times were awful, but it felt like a really good foundation for a considerably improved second instalment and the creation tools were fantastic.
Or hear me out: Daxter & Clank Karting, with a bunch of smaller or side characters from other PlayStation games - Bentley from Sly Cooper, Spike/Spectre from Ape Escape, Sackboy from LBP, one or two of the characters from Speed Freaks aka Speed Punks and one or two of the characters from ModNation Racers. And then have Knack as the shitty joke character. Get Sumo Digital to make it and baby, you've got a stew going!
Yeah, it's a shame that the developers got another crack and what came out of it was Littlebigplanet Karting. That game could have been good, and had great customization (though not nearly as good as Modnation's) but the lack of speed just killed its appeal, imo. It was so slow that it just didn't work as a karting game, and that was that for Sony-inspired karting games, which is a disappointment, as I think Modnation was really onto something that could have been improved into something special.
Sucks that United Front closed down too, they were a talented studio. Modnation and Sleeping Dogs got a lot of playtime out of me.
Agreed, I loved Sleeping Dogs. Excellent hand-to-hand combat, great story and characters and a really nice open world and side-activities that gave it a distinct sense of place and style compared to other open world games. The DLC was fantastic too! Huge shame that United Front closed down and if I were a publisher I would have definitely been looking to save them when they were in trouble.
I liked the style of LBP Karting better than ModNation but I didn't play it much because something felt off. I think it must have been a PS+ freebie at some point because I definitely didn't buy it. TBH I preferred United Front making their own game with a similar ethos to LBP (I think they said "Race, Create, Share" instead of LBP's "Play, Create, Share") rather than being beholden to make an LBP spin-off.
