Tbh, same. People have generally become really combative and toxic about gaming news now, it's started to erode the fun of getting new info and leaks for me.
The opening 45 minutes were so boring and simplistic it completely put me off the game. I might come back to it when there's less to play, but I'm not surprised the game does not even have a OT.
We have this this week so far, looking forward to watching it.
Aldo did you ever finish your RE series play through yet?
On the last blog post, people already complained about the difficulty to find games.
I remember trying to play a match last month after playing it only on release, it was a Mayhem match, as soon as the match started half the player count dropped, and in 30s we were 4 or 5 players left.
Mm. Let's see:
SSM announce the delay of GoW to 2023
London Studio will become a ND subsidiary
ND will continue to make Uncharted and TLOU till they die
Jim Ryan will continue to cancel all Bend's projects
Joke obviously
I hope lol
I'll add onto this with:
Jim Ryan registers on ResetEra. He makes one post that is just him pointing and laughing at us. He then requests an account ban and has the post stickied to the forum.
The only news I'm hoping for is a Returnal State of Play tbh
Anyone have this game? Wondering if it's worth picking up.
I think if your a person who causally follows gaming news, all you get from this is that there's no sequel to Days Gone and apparently there's a Last of Us remake coming, which sure neither is a big deal. But when you follow news, announcements and what's happening in the industry relatively closely, then yes it is bad? Enough people from the studio didn't like the direction they were heading and were afraid of being absorbed into another studio and some have left. Schrier mentions in that thread that someone from Naughty Dog told him they half-jokingly refer to Bend as Naught Dog North, not exactly just standard boring stuff. And again, Jeff is obviously not gonna go publicly and basically "confirm the article", or give a meaningful comment about what happened with Days Gone 2 and their studio, he was in a top position and is still in the industry with another studio that has a relationship with Sony.
And with the other studio, they wanted to do a remake of the OG Uncharted, which makes a lot more sense than The Last of Us, and that team also according to the article, was deflated and questioned Sonys commitment to let them actually build a new studio and the lead left. What's not to like about all this is that it indicates lack of interest in building new studios "organically" and are ok with putting one of their full studios on hold for the sake of "safer approach". Obviously I don't know what Sony's plans are or if they're partnering with outside studios and funding other projects, but going on what's been reported, there's enough to not like.
If you casually follow gaming news, you won't even know anything that happened this week.
Aren't Sackboy, Destruction All Stars, and Returnal made by outside studios? Also, it's clear that Sony is investing in exclusivity deals with Square Enix, and indie devs like Ember Labs, Slowclap, and others. I mean we know all of this.
Do you like Pokemon? The gameplay loop? Imagine that but more difficult and it has other players in the world too.
It's in early access, but it's worth it imo. I've played through it twice now, once on PC and then PS5.
When do you guys expect to hear about GG's secret game ? It has been in dev since 3yrs and 3 months, I would expect an announcement next year and a 2023 release (6 years in total)
It certainly was, a disgusting tweet just trying get clout by painting Jeff into a corner.
They wanted to remake UC but it would have been more work\cost more so they decide to work on TLOU.
There is no way that ND would have not gotten no input on there own IP that was a given .
Like i said it sad they doing support back again but if they remaking TLOU1 i rather the people that made it work on it .
VASG job is a support studio first and some people wanted to break out from that but growing "organically" don't mean it will have happen.
If fact having ND , SSM or IG grow more would make more sense since that is what they already do .
Also just last month Sony was said to be working with Jade Raymond new studio she set up and they always working with out side people .
If you follow the industry and think about certain things this not a big deal at most maybe have you a little worry if you don't follow the industry well none of this matters.

I guess when they able to maybe when Horizon is out.

Wait...i didn't even know GG had another game besides Horizon in production.
So that's another studio with 2 games in full production now.
Dat organic growth is real.
Fingers crossed for a KZ Siege-like

Can it just be Forbidden West and he didn't updated his profile?

This is an absurd thing to ask a professional that you don't personally know
Well they were hiring like crazy the last few years so it make sense that a small amount of devs would be trying something new .
Nope Mathijs de Jonge is the solo game director on Forbidden West.
Also after the reveal of Fobidden West, Larouche said that we should wait a bit more before he can reveal what he is working on.
Hard to say since we have no idea how many people have been working on it and how many will work on it once Forbidden West goes gold.

If it's Larouche it's not Forbidded West, he isn't the Game Director.
Edit. It's him, this is 100% the MP game
Yeah, I think a lot of Sony's teams want to release more than 2 games this generation. There was a lot of adjustment in the PS4 years to new architecture and obviously with rising costs you'll want to reuse what you make if you can.
I actually think we'll see plenty of new IP from Sony this generation, based on what might be happening behind the scenes. Obviously plans change but if the big studios (ND, Insomniac, Santa Monica, Guerilla) are able to work on multiple projects at the same time they can take more risks creatively.
Although it could also be a case of having large pre-production teams working things out, so they can get the ball rolling from when they complete Horizon Forbidden West. Say they know how the gameplay loop and main story beats are going to work, but will need the full team to make it work. Having 1 full team of hundreds of people is a lot for anyone to manage, let alone 2.
In case you missed it, back in 2018 Guerrilla announced that they were aiming to grow from 250 employees to at least 400 employees, which would then allow them to release a game every 2 to 3 years. While they didn't explicitly say that they would have multiple games in full development at the same time the whole aim of releasing a game every 2-3 years definitely implies that since releasing something, then starting development of a new game and releasing that within 3 years simply isn't viable (unless we're talking about sports or racing games, which we aren't. And since then they've grown to well over 350 people.
Yep that is why i think Sony studios growing .
Having a mid size team doing pre-production saves on time and you just move people over when the other game finish .
This way you can get games out faster once everything work out .
They can do a GoT just add MP after they finish .
Which is what i hoping they do or it already there.
Sony going in with the major online MP games. I can see:
- TLoU Online, late 2021/early 2022.
- Larouche game, late 2022/early 2023.
I don't think there will be any relevant MP content in Forbidden West, their first plan was to have Co-Op on Zero Dawn but they ditched due several limitations in both the game and the team at the time, here I think they will ditch to make a full MP game instead.
And there's also a small team supporting the development a VR game, this one I don't know if is in Horizon's universe though.
I have a feeling GT7 will have a good online component as well.
They have some experience after Sport.
So what's the latest info on Konami's IPs being used by Sony? I recall that an insider alleged that Sony was working on a new Silent Hill game as well as a remake of Metal Gear Solid 1. Is that all we know or is there more? For instance, do we have info on Metal Gear remakes/games outside of MGS1? What about Castlevania? Is Sony working on that IP as well?
Is nothing a surprise?
Last week I was confident we'll get cool stuff about Returnal this week but seeing that's actually three weeks away now I believe we won't see anything until next week. -_-
I don't expect Sony to share any orher mayor news.
Hi
Several MGS Remakes.
Silent Hill is still in development but the studio has changed (and I don't wanna disclose the name of the new one for personal reasons).
Castlevania was in discussion but that's all I know.
When do you guys expect to hear about GG's secret game ? It has been in dev since 3yrs and 3 months, I would expect an announcement next year and a 2023 release (6 years in total)
A year before launch.
I expect them to announce it in 2023, being out by 2024.
The only exclusive one would be MGS by Bluepoint, SH is being made by unknown dev and the only ''concrete'' (as in reported by more than one person) info is that Sony has marketing rights, likely timed exclusive as well.
Castlevania is a ? for now, but this initiative by Konami indicates this is a matter of when rather than if.
GG new IP being MP focused is honestly not exciting at all lol.
Hopefully, whatever their project is gets revealed this summer and it turns out to be a full fledged title with a MP component.
