Jeff Grubb: PS5 Pro could be revealed soon, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf to be at SGF, Sucker Punch could be making more than just Ghost of Tsushima 2

Yeah i really doubt it. Sucker Punch ain't particular big for a AAA Studio and it taking longer can be attributed to Ghost probably being more of an Anthology Style series so diving into new Time period with completely new cast etc. will take longer for conception phase i imagine.
Ghost of Tsushima doesn't really appeal to me, so I never bothered with it and will continue to not bother on PC.
But it sold a lot, so I suspect this is what Sucker Punch is going to be working on for the foreseeable.
A shame (for me), because I really enjoyed Sly and inFamous and would love to see sequels and remasters.

He mentions "speculation" after he talked about it.
Fact check, Sony announced the PS4 Pro at a press event in New York City on September 7, 2016.The PS4 standard was announced at a press conference on February 20, 2013, three years apart.
Perfect Dark and Summer Game Mess update
Some people working on Perfect Dark think the game looks rough, but just as many (if not more) are happy with the progress on the game. And it should even sh...

because he has hopes?
the question is why is there a thread for it really
lol and I hope I win the lottery
But this is nothing, it hasn't even been that long since their last release.

Because any bullshit piece of speculation or rumor will be discussed when people want this to happen.
Sucker Punch openly said not even 2 years ago that they have no Sly game in development or in their plans, and neither did another studio. Mods should have instantly closed this topic.
I would love it especially since a new Sly Cooper interests me more than a new Ghost of Tsushima, but I doubt it's happening. Only Insomiac still cares about their old mascot franchise anymore and as shown in that one leak it sadly doesn't bring them that much money so it's more of a passion project if anything.

Yup. I once proposed we'd start a mega-thread (like we've done for multiple topics, e.g. James Stephanie Sterling, Hot Ones) so the front page doesn't get cluttered with everything he 'reveals' but that got warned as thread-whining :/.
He thinks a lot it seems :3

You're trying to play him down but you're the one making a topic about his opinion/speculation. No issue with the thread, just the negativity when you're the one promoting him.

Is the dev time really that unusual, taking longer than expected?
As we hear over and over, and is undeniably true, AAA titles, particularly those compounded by Sony's production standards, are taking longer to make and more costly. Ghost of Tsushima will be 4 years old in June, and that's alongside Sucker Punch having worked on a PS5 port and the sizable Iki Island expansion pack.
For comparison, Santa Monica took 4.5 years to deliver Ragnarok after '18, inclusive of their own PC port support. Meanwhile Guerrilla took 5 years to drop Horizon 2 after its predecessor, with no title in between.
And while it's not lost on me that in both cases there were likely studio projects that were either canned (see: Santa Monica) or in development for another platform (see: Horizon VR), eating up dev resources, I do think the comparisons are reasonable and entirely in line with what we've come to see from a standardised and ever growing AAA production cycle. Compounded with the safe assumption that Ghost of Tsushima 2 is likely 'bigger' in content and more complex in production standards over its predecessor.
Ghost of Tsushima was really the last big new-franchise PlayStation 4 game, after God of War and Horizon, of which we got our sequels for. Sony's studios have all been taking ~4+ years to get their next big game out, with the only exception being Insomniac and the crack they must be smoking to pump games out as quick as they do. For Sucker Punch, a 4 - 5 year dev cycle for Ghost of Tsushima 2, for PlayStation 5, seems absolutely on par and a predictable standard not in any way indicative of "taking longer" or that some other software took priority.
