And well SSM needs all the help, since they can't create their own new IP for a decade. :p
\s obviously

Pre-ordered Returnal but haven't jumped in yet. I'm so looking forward to it.
Want to finish up Ghost of Tsushima and 13 Sentinels first. They are just too good to let them languish in my backlog. I still haven't finished Spider-man. A new game comes out, I fire it up to check it out, repeat. (Oooh, a butterfly.....)
Good man Cory and that remembers me to watch Battlestar Galactica again.
Bloodborne's only issue at launch was the long load times (and the lack of tips so you were staring at "BLOODBORNE" for a long time after each death), right?
And framepacing. Otherwise, a perfect game. Don't @ me if you think otherwise
Calling Returnal the Bloodborne of this generation actually seems fairly appropriate to me. I feel like this one is going to have its mega fans, and rightly so. The game is amazing.
Interesting to see how the rumor of the coalition working as a support project on halo infite isn't met with the same doom & gloom as the bend studio story.
Probably because of the cancellation of Days gone 2 (which is pretty ironic since most people were shitting on the game but now they need the sequel).
Tbh it could have been an uncharted 2 situation where they build on the foundation and laser focus the strength of their game, but guess we'll never know (for now)

Gonna vote for Returnal, it's just so much fun to play. I think I'm going to try for the Platinum after I beat it.
I heard Disney was going to approach ND to do a Mandalorian game but since they can't do good gunplay they went to MS instead :p
I would be so disappointed if a sony 1st party studio committed to making a Star Wars game.
No contest, returnal wins hands down (if we don't include Nier since it's a remaster, otherwise team nier)
It's a joke about the leaked internal review of The Last of Us Part II from Microsoft, where they said Part II's gunplay isn't that good.
At this point it doesn';t make sense for sony to commit to licensing IP for games when they are trying to make movies/tv/anime of existing gaming franchises. Spider-man works because they own the movie rights to it for the unforeseeable future, same with something like Metal Gear where they have the movie rights.
It really doesn't do Sony much good to make a Star Wars game, rather than letting a 3rd party make one.

Eh it makes sense because the game would sell gangbusters.
Hard disagree. A quality, exclusive Star Wars game would sell absolutely gangbusters and would be a great system seller. If Sony can do that there's no way they'd pass on the opportunity.
It does plenty of good for Sony to have a highly rated Star Wars exclusive game on PS5.
SW would be a big get.
They look really good, the effort payed off in spades. XD
Can't wait to see it in colour.
YuFan Chang has joined Naughty Dog (and the games industry) as Cinematic Lighting Artist. Worked previously at the shutdown Blue Sky Studios.
Juan Lugo-Ruiz joined ND as well (Character TD/Rigger).
I think the MLB thing is a good cautionary tale for this very premise
Do Star Wars games typically sell more than sony 1st party games?
Who's to say putting ND, SSM, GG on a new Star Wars sells more than a new original IP, or TLOU, GoW,HZD?
The last 3 Star Wars games have been multiplatform and haven't outsold any of Sony's 3 biggest franchises.
if you gave those games to SSM or Naughty Dog, or the right studio, they would be huge. But I find that the current star wars games being put out by EA are pretty mediocre and it's not surprising to me that Sony's first party games may sell better. It's kind of like how the Activision spiderman games were meh, and sold okay-ish, but you give it to Insomniac, and they know what to do with it.
I'm not sure how the recent ones sold, but just Sony putting their full weight behind it could easily turn a Star Wars game into a 10mil+ seller even if exclusive. Spider-Man games also never set the charts on fire when those games were developed and published by Activision, but when Sony got the license and put a good developer with a proper budget behind the game it blew up. Star Wars is a gigantic IP, a 1st party developed Star Wars game with a high 80s or even low 90s metacrictic would no doubt sell insanely well.
Edit: Jedi Fallen Order has sold over 10mil copies as March 31st 2020, Battlefront 2 sold 9mil copies by the end December 2017.
Would Amy even want to work with Sony again?
I certainly hope so, as she's brilliant, but I'm not so sure that split was all sugar and rainbows. I'd love for those feelings to be wrong and that was all just the usual internet misconception machine in full action.
But for me? I'd love Square-Enix to approach Amy and get a new AAA Soul Reaver cooking. Or hell, I wonder what she could do with the Parasite Eve series...?
Both Battlefront games did very well and Fallen Order was huge. If Sony were to do a quality Star Wars game it would sell just as well or better than Spider-man.
If you listen to her interviews (2019 and thereabouts) she doesn't want to work in AAA games. She is inclined towards more experimental narrative games. If she really wanted to work in AAA development, I am sure she could have gotten a job based on her pedigree.
So ND South? :p
That's been my feeling for a bit now too. It just feels like something new and special that I'll always remember as one of my first great PS5 experiences. Just like BB last gen. Returnal may even have a bit more going for it with the new features. Instant loading, haptics, etc. the game is just so well made and only possible on a PS5.
I'm completely smitten with it.
Same! I feel like Star Wars is probably a franchise that older people might identify with more. No offence to anyone obviously, might be wrong too.
Battlefront 2 and fallen order are both around 10 million in sales. Those are all on every consoles and pc. There's no guarantee that having a Star Wars property as a PlayStation exclusive would double those sales
Cory left and couldn't ship a game and when returning he changed GoW and made it a Goty.
Who knows if with SW and a new studio Amy would return.
The commitment is a potential issue also for me.
I love Star Wars and a Star Wars game from Naughty Dog or Santa Monica would be a dream scenario but to be honest I don't want to see these studios working for many years on a Star Wars game.
Having said that if a Sony studio really wishes to work on a Star Wars game it would be a exciting project.
So, isn't it fair to say its the studios that bring the sales and admiration and not the IP?
That's...surprising. I wonder what is a good gunplay to them 😂
Combination of both I'd say. There's obviously a certain amount of hype which comes with having a big name developer and publisher attached to a title, but that isn't automatically gonna guarantee good sales.l
While I 100% respect her desire as an artist to work on experimental games, she has a legitimate talent for pulling off big spectacle productions. Kind of like Sakaguchi - I'm glad Amy is still creating, but I'll certainly miss her fingerprint in the AAA space.
Definitively.
I don't know your age, but kids and teenagers was very much into SW. Clone Wars and successive anime was a hit.
Well, I would prefer them doing their own IP.
But I also prefer a new SW game rather than a Remaster...
Completely agree, but it obviously helps if you have a big IP attached to it. I doubt Spider-Man would have sold as well as it did if it had been a new original IP.
