Somehow I doubt Insom will ever really care to go back to Resistance. Especially not with Spidey riding high.
but.. but.. its so good...
R3 had such an excellent campaign
R2 had the best coop mode next to Horde mode, with great MP.
Honestly, I think the Chimera just don't have enough personality to function as antagonists for long. They're really, really boring. They'd need a completely new story if they wanted to bring the series back.
What's so special about 2019? Do some of y'all think this is new?
I still remember when Oddworld was bigger; it was a huge deal that they ditched the PS2 to release their game exclusively on the Xbox with Microsoft as publisher.
Or when MS bought Rare and took stuff like Perfect Dark with them.
Or FF7 going onto the PS1 instead of the N64.
Or Soulcalibur releasing exclusively on the Dreamcast when its predecessor, Soul Edge, released on the PS1.
Or Ninja Gaiden being made exclusively for the Xbox when the originals were on the NES.
Alan Wake 2 simply existing -- when the original publisher had no interest in it and sold it back to Remedy -- would be a megaton and not even as "bad" as any of these.
I played Kill Zone 2 and Resistance and where good, Kill Zone 3 was solid and Resistance 2 coop was great. Never played Resistance 3 but heard is great. Played MAG but got bored. Shadow Fall was very forgettable.
I could be completely wrong here but I think since Remedy is a publicly traded company that's basically impossible as the shareholders would need to sell their shares for less than they're worth.
True
I am not sure Remedy is worth that much tho... how many devs do they have? I think Sony should try first funding a game developed by them to test the waters
If Control and CrossFire are a success, the market cap will skyrocket easily.
They can't get a better deal, they have to negotiate with the shareholders, assuming they want to sell their shares to Sony.
115 million is nothing but running a studio in Finland is expensive, it's by far one of the most expensive countries in Europe, but that's a thing for all the scandinavian countries.
It's not about achieving success on that level though, that's never what 1st party's been about, is it?
I just want them to provide additional options. As a primarily MP shooter player I don't feel that we have an overload of them, there's room for more. When you're someone who doesn't enjoy them maybe you see CoD and the like dominating the charts and the chatter and then you feel that way, but it's not the case.
There's also plenty of room to push in untested directions and innovate in the genre, as we've seen this gen despite the reluctance of certain franchises to do so. That is something that 1st party can afford to do in order to attract fans of the genre who might not already be convinced by Playstation.
As many people have said, TLOU's multiplayer was a really unique and enjoyable experience, but it was relegated to the position of bastard child all through the development, hype and release cycles. Now imagine if, instead, Sony had invested into making it it's own fully fleshed out half of the game rather than a little bonus add-on, and marketed the game as both a SP and MP game, like MS did for Halo.
I played all 3 Resistances. I was a big fan of the series and it's actually what got me into FPSs in the first place.
RFOM was a promising, if unspectacular, start. R2 added some really cool things (especially its coop) but suffered due to being on the PS3 platform as well as being somewhat forgettable. It's still one of the FPSs that I personally have great memories from, though.
R3 killed the franchise despite having more marketing. The MP tried too hard to be like CoD, and it lost whatever memorability Resistance had remaining. I dropped it within a month for the actual CoD of that year. The campaign also failed to stir emotion. It all just strayed from the solid and interesting building blocks of R2. Overall the game was way more forgettable than the other games and had almost no redeeming qualities.
Like I said, mediocre.
Never got into Killzone that much, but from the betas I tried and short plays at my friends house, the shooting never felt that good. Obviously that's damaging for a shooting game.
I would switch yours for these.
Sly Cooper > Resistance > Jak & Daxter > Puppeteer > Killzone
Sly Cooper and Jak are great, Jak way more than Sly IMO of course, but I just dont think these franchises have the appeal outside of a remaster which will undoubtedly happen.
I know Jak is better, but Sly Cooper was the first of the three (Jak, Ratchet, Sly) that I've played. I started with Sly 2. Then went on to find the 3rd and 1st one. Soon after, I found the Jak & Daxter series, which then lead me to Ratchet and Clank. Those were marquee franchise for Sony during that era and should all have been mascots even today. So I have a sentimental attachment to that series.
Not necessarily I don't think. They could be waiting until the right time to announce their new AAA game to also announce the acquisition of the studio. Kind of like how they have the new San Diego studio working on a new uncharted game, allegedly, but still haven't announced either.
Man. Has it already been five years? I remember when he was still with Harmonix. I wonder where he's going next.
When we say PS5 launch exclusives, are we talking day and date or launch window?
I'm asking because I seem to be holding a minority position. I don't think PS5 needs to launch with a huge exclusive. In fact, I'd rather they skip the launch window entirely and drop one of their exclusives in Febuary 2020. Three months after the initial launch window if November 2019 holds true.
I honestly believe that, at least here in Europe, Fifa, PES, and COD marketing deals will put them in a commanding position. I mean, this was the scene across Europe back in 2013, when PS4 launched with Knack (is love) and Killzone Shadowfall.

I would kill for another Soul Sacrifice, doesn't even need to be a Monhun clone, just use the same world/style in some other kind of game.
Wtf... the loading was bad at launch but patches greatly reduced them. Modnation is still one of the best kart racing games of all time. Better than LBP Karting and CTR.
In general, yes, this is a megaton. Nothing to do if the previous game was on Xbox.
I love watching these freakouts during sales and black friday lol
Because its boring? And ultimately self defeating. Gamers will tire of it in the end. Its why Sony aren't as interesting as they were early this gen. They've lost a lot of their diversity in their portfolio.
if GG is making a NEW MP IP then I would be more interested in seeing how that plays out then seeing the debut of Horizon 2
since I just want to see what GG does with it artistically
especially if it is a hero based mascot shooter like Overwatch... I want to see what GG does design wise for each character
let us just hope though it isn't VR and it isn't low budget

I wouldn't expect to see that potential new Guerrilla IP any time soon. Simon only rejoined Guerrilla last year. And that seems like when they started assembling another team for that project. H2 has likely been in development since the original wrapped up. So we should see that first.
It might have VR support, but there's no way that it'll be VR-exclusive. Sony wants to make a play for the multiplayer space, and they'd immediately lose any momentum of doing that if they lock it behind VR.
Sony's 1st party output is stronger and better than every before. And we still get games like PixelOpus, Gran Turismo, Dreams, Blood & Truth, Astro Bot, etc. Doubling down on their strenghts is good and makes sense.
I think is time for you guys to know something.
Arrowhead > Housemarque
Someone had to say it.

Seems he's also off to Microsoft. Phil and Major Nelson both commented on it, and John alluded to seeing them more often.
Grats to him!
You are jumping to conclusions, he told Phil spencer "hope to see you soon", implying that he is not planning to.
It's possible he didn't even decide yet.
It seemed that they're just congratulating him. Perhaps in his next job we'll be doing more business with MS, since he obsivously, wasn't in much contact with them on a professional level at PS.
Or maybe he's actually getting a job at MS. Time will tell.
If Sony actually bought both Housemarque and Remedy, European continent would equal the number of American studios, right?
America: 7 (San Diego (unnounced), Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Bend, Sucker Punch, San Diego Studio, San Mateo)
Europe: 7 (Remedy, Housemarque, Manchester Studio (unnounced), London Studio, Media Molecule, Guerrilla and XDev)
Japan: 2 (Polyphony and Japan Studio)
It's still rather strange that Sony hasn't have more studios in Japan and none in Canada.

Japan studio have many teams inside it, maybe they prefer to group them there instead of having 3/4 small studios.
I think the new San Diego team will be counted as just another team based on the San Diego campus where VASG studio is based too (with that MLB team)
