Yeah no thanks. Sony already has Spider-Man, it would suck if another Sony studio would be anchored down wasting their time on someone elses I.Ps.
In an interview I believe Sony Pictures was talking about boosting the value of their inhouse I.Ps, I am also in agreement with that for their one Sony initiative.
Better to create and grow your own I.Ps and their value, have full control over it and its future then to work away all day on someone elses temporarily.
Insomniac is so efficient that them working on Spider-Man doesn't stop them from making other games that aren't licensed but other Sony WWS aren't able to produce multiple titles, let alone franchises so tossing them on someone elses licensed I.Ps would mean that would be the only thing they'd be working on rather then polishing their own skills or building up their own I.Ps.
I agree but what Sony will do if Cory (for example) wishes to make a Star Wars game?
The potential of such a project could really huge.
I really would not want Sony to make a Star Wars game. If they're going to invest more on these licensed IP they don't own, they need more studios. They do not have the capacity currently to do more of these games without it coming at the expense of their own IP development. Would be really disappointing personally, and would seem short-sighted imo.
Hoping to play more Returnal tonight. Didn't have the chance yesterday. Hopefully I finally break my streak of really shitty RNG drops so I can beat the second boss. Almost beat him last time with only 125% integrity, no healing items, no astronaut, and no useful combat artifacts or parasites. Really, really jealous of some of the builds I see people getting lol. 15 hours in and I've only had 1 run where I got what I'd consider a decent build.

I mean is it really a waste of time if the studio wants to do it? Remember Insomniac picked Spider-man right?
Cory has openly stated interest in doing a Mando game. Now I don't believe it's happening but if the people WANT to do it. It's not a waste of time. If that's the case yall should be against an MGS remake lol.

Well AAA development is grueling and creatively taxing. Lots of leads leave at some point in their career, from Dan Houser to former Bioware leads to Bruce and so on and on. Ultimately they should leave if their hearts are not in it.
Yeah Spider-Man is not exactly a waste of time when it's selling more than any other game SIE publishes..
Yeah for sure the potential success I assume is very intriguing for Sony (and for sure for other publishers too now that the exclusivity deal with EA is ending).
A studio is more then just one person and yes for the company itself it is a waste of time beyond short time profits. Sure you can't force them and choice is great and all but it isn't a wise choice imho. They can still choose to do so but they could've tried and made another franchise or grow an already existing one instead.
So imho that time spent was a waste. It isn't even about having it as an exclusive, the game you make that is your own I.P can be on every platform on the planet, it is about growing your own I.Ps value and worth, time wasted on another already popular franchise that doesn't need that is indeed time wasted.
It is like saying Disney should work on Warner Bros I.Ps rather then their own, no one would think that as some great idea for the long term. It is quite short sighted.
Also I am against a MGS remake too :P
I don't see why her issue would be with Sony instead of Naughty Dog.
Sony owns the movie rights for Spider-man though, when a new game or movie comes out it benefits sony directly. It's not the case if Mandalorian season 3 comes out
I hope this is true, they said (the leakers) that this would be revealed in a SoP later this month. Dreams + and Stray are also exciting if true and it makes sense
Hey, I've been against an MGS remake since the rumors started! Lol
I doubt it'll happen, but seeing these hires makes me wonder what ND could do if they made a more animated-style visual approach.
Of course your I.P won't likely ever be as big as Star Wars or whatever popular franchise you want to license but at least you will have placed more worth in it then not creating or investing in it in the first place.
Sony's WWS shouldn't be locked down on something like that, let those big companies make their own I.P games.

If this is true - I'm not convinced Insomniac devs actually sleep.
That output would just be insane.
Well they don't have to do it in house .
IG was not in house when they made spidey .
If that leak is true, and Insomniac manages to have a decent work life culture, they need to give the entire industry a class in balancing output and team loads
Again is it a waste of time if the Studio lead wants to do it? Would you just Spider-man is a waste of time?
Again I don't think it's a waste of time if the game has the potential to sell more than SIE's own IPs. Star Wars is yet another game that would get people to buy the console and game
If the leak was before the trademark registration then that would make it almost certain for me as no one would think about putting that on a fake leak list imo
I agree with this if the studio wants to do it sure no problem other wise new IP.
I'm sure that's fake, but i'll definitely give them creative points for including Media.Vision as a developer for one of those games. Not just going for the household names is something you rarely see from leaks.
The even used anime IP that popular but not to much so credit there lol.
True but the thing that gets me. That list doesn't even mention Horizon FW and it's just way too many publishers on that list. I doubt anyone just has that information. Sounds like a reddit "leak"
It is a waste of time for a certain aspect of I.P growth. In terms of polishing talent, gaining experience, earning profits, it isn't.
But that time in terms of I.P growth and value was lost and can't be redeemed. It could've been used to make a new I.P or invest in another already created one that Sony actually owns.
It wouldn't likely ever get to Star Wars levels of values but some growth in value of your I.P library is better then none.
Disney in terms of I.P growth and value would just have their juggernauts become even more valuable while Sony will be twiddling their thumbs wasting away a studio to grow another companies successful I.Ps.
It is what separates Disney and their I.P growth initiative to Sony. You wouldn't see Disney ever working on other people's I.Ps instead of investing in their own now would you?
It seems arguing for the fact that one wants a game of a franchise that is loved made by talented people under the the idea of "choice" for said studio to do so is the right thing to do, but beyond profits said game isn't truly theirs.
Devs also come and go. If they really want to make a Star Wars game for example and they had the talent, eventually they'd find a studio that would make it. Disney is big they can afford to do so and invest in so.
For me idc what type of game said studio makes, what type of genre too, what platform it releases on, but if it is their own I.P that is a way more better investment then working away on another companies I.P that is already uber popular and successful to begin with.
Eventually some head dev will move on and that licensing contract will end too leaving the studio with nothing.
Yes, that includes Konami I.Ps too.

SO is one of my fave games from last gen. I'd be all over a remaster, but I won't get excited until we see something more concrete.
Also, no way they remaster SO before Resistance.😅

Insomniac output is absurd, even if the rumored Sunset isn't true.
Not sure where all this Star Wars stuff is coming from though... what'd I miss?

Symphogear Unite? By those 2 Studios and Console? Yeah fake af. I also dont see Wayforward making a Game for a random Netflix Movie
We are in May and E3 is coming soon. I know SIE is not going, but they will likely do an event to announce new things. People are just impatient and want to know everything at once.
It's like E3 leaks, they search for things before the event, but then everything leaks and they complain that there were no surprises!
Patience! Sony knows what they are doing and they are working on it. Specially after many things had to move, change and slow down with COVID.
Why would Sonic Colours only release on PS4 and PS5?
The rest of the list names other platforms.

Isn't Sunset Overdrive full of Xbox and kinect references?
Last Nintendo Direct was all leaked here before the Stream
They could rework the game and remove the references I guess but I really do think the list is fake.
It feels more like they grabbed speculation, discussion and ideas from several months, plus added recent events like the Mitchel's vs Machine movie and made a list out of that.
Nah, only PS4/PS5 for all. Its fake anyway but obviously Sony wouldnt announce a Switch Version during their Direct
Colin Moriarty (yeah I know) just said the Insomniac stuff is fake as hell. He knows personally.
Colin knows Ted Price and other Insomniac people personally.
Probably best to let it go for now and focus on Jimbo & Clank for now.

lol oops I saw Xbox and I thought that was a platform not the Xbox Studio publisher
Still I think that list is fake because it seems like a summary of recent discussion points gathered into one list rather then anything surprising.
Im not saying the leak is real but it did happen before the registration, i think this leaked a day or two ago.
I don't care if Bloodborne didn't sell like Uncharted, Spider-Man, God of War, etc. Sony needs to greenlight a sequel to the best game of the last generation with Team Asobi collaborating with From Software.
