They might be doing that, but the actual developer should be a studio in Europe as that's what XDev is setup for. This is from their website



https://www.sonyxdeveurope.com/

If you look at the games they've been involved with on their site you'll see that none of them have ever been developed internally or by a studio in the US.

That website also seems to be new and led me to their page on Wild, which seems to have artwork i've never seen before

That's great art work indeed.

Yes, you're not telling me anything I don't already know - but LinkedIn profiles from Santa Monica Studio team members say otherwise. It's common knowledge that the game is being developed in America at this point.

Wait what? They make it sound like there'll be no new first-party game announcements!
thats how it sounds

Options are
1) it is, no new games from em, just the 4 horsemen and whatever 3rd party they can get to reveal
2) SURPRISE!!!

Scenario (1) is possible if they already have some studio shifting production to PS5 release games

Why do you expect/want new first party surprise announcement? Let them work on PS5 games instead. We have more than enough announced first party titles already.

So, 3 out of the 4 that they've confirmed to be there, are 2019 titles, right?

That's excluding Days Gone, Dreams (whatever happened to this?), the Bluepoint Games rumored HD Remaster "on a big scale" (high chance of Demon's Souls) and of course, Shadows Die Twice. 2019's gonna be pretty lit for them to even care for more first party announcements at this point in time. There's also timed 3rd party IP's like FFVII:R, Shenmue III (and maybe DMCV & REMake 2, if they get announced here or TGS and end up being timed on PS4).

They can even spread some of those first party to the 1st half of 2020, and then launch the PS5 in November, just like they did with God of War: Ascension and The Last of Us in Q1 and Q2 of 2013 and launch the PS4 in Q4 2013.

Maybe Days Gone (Q1 2019) Death Stranding (Q2 2019), and Dreams in 2019 (Q3 2019), with Demon's Souls Remastered (Q1 2020), Shadows Die Twice (Q2 2020), The Last of Us Part II (Q3, or even Q2 2020, like the first game) and then build hype/momentum onto the launch of PS5 in November 2020? Sounds like a plan.

A month left for E3, huh? Time flies indeed...

Great line up and I'm all for corps showing games that actually going to ship this year or very early 2019 and this years at E3. I'm sick of corps showing off games, that are years and years away.

They already have too much games coming anyway, better focus on Ps5 now and launch all the PS4 last games as good as possible.

All the other studios are working on Ps5 as we speak.

Also we will probably see Medieval, Dreams & Concrete Genie there, plus VR goodies like Blood & Truth, Firewall and I expect a surprise.

From 3rd Party the usual stuff, Call of Duty, RDR 2, RockSteady, random Ubisoft titles lol.

I'm honestly pretty excited because they released Days Gone's footage already. That means that if they're really focusing on those four games, we're getting some nice gameplay reveal from DS and TLOU2.

I am still processing that we will be seeing gameplay on both of those games. I'm also trying to wrap my head around how they will not only look, but what advancements that have made over their prior releases.

I'm kind of hoping now it's 2020 the PS5 comes out and Sony may show a teaser on a new game which is secretly a PS5 title. I just think it's kind of silly nowadays to spend all this time and money to create a new title to help launch new hardware and not try and utilize older hardware to help sales. Maybe this is why Sony always has a slow burn when a new generation starts.

I want:
Bluepoint to announce Demon's Souls Remastered or ICO.

Double Fine to show off Psychonauts 2 with a release date.

Ubisoft to show off Beyond Good & Evil 2 with a release date.

Bethesda to announce Prey: Birth of the Insider.

RockSteady to announce TMNT.

Insomniac (Ratchet & Clank 1 remake team) to remake Jak & Daxter 1, and Ratchet & Clank 2 & 3.

AND...Devil May Cry 5, Onimusha 5, Ninja Gaiden 4, Nioh 2, Bloodborne 2, Okami 2, Demon's Souls 2, Dark Souls 4, Vanquish 2 and Raiden: Revengeance 2.

Not asking for much :P

Definitely. It's not a stretch to say TLOU2 is one of the most anticipated games in gaming at present, it certainly is for Playstation. There are some things one would have to take for granted, that being there will be new enemies and also the gameplay will have evolved. It is going to be incredibly exciting to see what changes have been made to gameplay, Ellie won't be able to pull of Joels melee stuff but will be more agile. Also TLOU levels were pretty wide, should be even more so now. Left Behind had those great moments between clickers and humans as well, they will definitely build on that.

GOT is the one exciting me the most, we seen fuck all besides the reveal trailer. No idea what the gameplay is going to be like, I loved having superpowers in inFamous games but that might not be the case this time. But either way, I cannot wait to see what Sucker Punch have managed to do. Spdier-Man is a bit yeah whatever, for Death Stranding I have Ja Rule ready to make sense of all of that.

When the list of upcoming exclusives is so good TLOU2 is the one you're anticipating the least.

A big new AAA IP from ND would gather more hype imo.

I think that many feel like this because the first TLOU was such a complete and a perfect package that many didn't feel like TLOU 2 was necessary at all even though the first game is in many GOAT lists. Many are just skeptic about this.

I hope ND can prove them wrong although it's going to be extremely difficult, they are facing a huge challenge with this sequel.

Any chance for a big God of War DLC btw?

We all want more of that please, they don't expect us to wait a couple of years for the sequel now right?

We don't know what Japan Studio is doing and they have multiple teams. They are really do for an AAA game as they didn't have one this entire generation.

Helping on the From game like with Bloodboorne
Knack 2 and GR2 are not far out enough
Ueada (spelling) worked on TLG and Shadow Remake with Bluepont so they are not close enough.

There is no Sony team that is due for a big first party AAA release.


Nope absolutely not, go right into the next game.

I'm totally ok with this format, DS gameplay is more than enough for me to be excited and wake up at 04:00am. I hope there will also be Bluepoint announcement and Dreams update.

Next game will come out in 2021, with how long current dev cycles are, what is wrong with the Uncharted 4 and Horizon approach of providing a chunky DLC in the mean time? it worked well for GG and ND and it could work well for SSM as well.

Waiting so long for a sequel is a bummer.

Lol it's without a doubt a very small minority that aren't hyped about one of the most anticipated games this gen.

The big question in all of this is why. They could have had the conference without announcing what games they'd show. So why come out and announce your e3 line-up like this?

My guess is, people come into e3 with the expectations of big new reveals, especially from the first party. And this statement reads more like "we don't really have anything new to show, so here's what you can expect"

They're effectively trying to shift the negative narrative by setting new expectations.

Smart PR, and it shows how important e3 conferences are in messaging or else they wouldn't have to make this statement.

From is doing a big showing for "Shadows Die Twice" at E3. Can't say which show til E3 is a bit closer.

Can't wait to know more about that one, especially regarding the combat, though the comments in the other thread about it being inspired by Kuon left me a bit cautious. Survival horror is not my cup of tea but I won't jump to conclusions until I see exactly what the game is about.

All I can say right now is, go in with an open mind. Things may not be as they appear to be.
