Na, Roberto makes things up or grabs rumors that are already circulating and pretends it's something he's revealing.
Edit: I fell for it ;)

I don't know how I could forget my #1 source for PS5 and XSX release dates.
It need the webpage showing ps5 sold out after he klik preorder followed by him screaming, lol
This is one of the best gifs made this year. I hope we can use it for real this year.
Agreed. To be fair, he isn't new in the business but new as an insider who talk. So he needs to adapt a little bit how that. He already did a bit.
haha, this should be used in their official advert. Bravo with this gif
My primary reason for believing it is cod MP reveal on Sep 9
CoD has been known to make their own events for reveals and rarely go to a platform holder's press conferences for reveals.
One thing I hope to see more of next gen is desctructibility and cool physics to come with it. One aspect of destructibility I'd LOVE to see is the actual ground itself deforming. Imagine Kratos jumping and slamming shit to the ground, then you see cracks of the ground appear.
lmao
lmao
Don't take this away from me.
Inb4 multiple insiders back Dusk up with it being early september
Inb4 insiders say that the event is delayed to late September

All Stars sequel or whatever it'll be could use Ratchet's Rift Apart as it's base for traveling dimensions.
Maybe at the credits scene, it'll pull a MCU where both R&C arrived at one of PS character's world.

The major points are that they are exploring other ways of playing (PSNOW,PC) and increase their IP buy either aqusiitions or partnerships.
Yeah, I believe there's a good chance of Jak and Daxter having a small cameo in R&C
I thought there was no general consensus lol
Now Sony officially use the term, we can say
- 1st party = games developed by Sony owned studio
- 2nd party = games funded by Sony and developed by third party studios
- 3rd party = games developed by third party studios
Instant classic.
I can already envision this showing back up in 5-6 years when we are reminiscing about the lead-up to PS5 launch. 😂
I like your posts a lot because they remind me that despite me having done a course which taught corporate strategy, finance and stuff I should expect to knoe in a report like this, a lot of it is still hard to read lmaoSony releases their Corporate Report 2020

What else has been shown? Is the recent Assassin's Creed footage supposed to be next-gen?
It'll be interesting to see what are the next games they explore with this. I know when it was first established that there was a rumor that Twisted Metal would be one, but there hasn't been anything about it since. Cory's been quite open about wanting to do a GoW TV show. That's an obvious one to get to since the brand is really popular. Of course it'll be on the more expensive side for a production given the nature of that series. Same for a potential Horizon TV adaptation.
Given that Sony's also heavily expanding anime i'd love for them to turn Gravity Rush into an anime series. Just make sure that it's handled by a studio that's going to respect Kat (i'm sure you know what I mean by that).

Strategically, I think its best for Ratchet not to be a launch title. For one thing, Crash 4 releases a month before the PS5 and Sony has the marketing rights. Im sure they want that game to get proper exposure. Another thing is Sackboys Big Adventure exists and it looks all but done, and it could far better benefit from being a launch game (Ratchet has tons of hype on its own). Lastly, that said Ratchet hype can help keep the momentum for the PS5 going with a Q1 21 release for Rift Apart.
Nonsense If the game is ready then release it as soon as possible.
Ah well that's how I always thought people we using the term-- for example I usually saw people call The Order, Bloodborne, Resistance (before Sony owned Insomniac), etc. 2nd party games.
In any case, good to have things officially nailed down :)
It's the publisher that matters, not the developer.
- 1st party = games published and developed by Sony
- 2nd party = games published by Sony and developed by an external studio
- 3rd party = games published by a third party publisher
I have never liked the term second party but I can see why people want to use it. Personally I would still say that Returnal is first party because it's a Sony production. People get too hung up on who owns the developer when it's really not that important.

Thats not how the industry works, and Sony is no stranger to doing this with mainly great results. Sony wants the PS5 to run blazing hot through 2021, and with games like Miles Morales and *potentially* Demon's Souls, adding Sackboy to the mix covers all bases so Ratchet can start 2021 off strong. You also have to consider Crash 4, which is tightly linked with PlayStation. Releasing Ratchet with Sackboy and Crash all in the same quarter is asking the games to eat into each other's sales.
Still waiting on SIE London in bringing back PlayStation Home in VR. It would be great during COVID
