God of War?
And the new SMS game (Cory's new IP presumably) will also be fantasy based.
That would be cool...and that's why I don't think it will ever happen. RPG and good turn-based combat? Yeah, that's like two too many bulletpoints they have no expertise in for Sony to handle, sadly.
Personally, I don't think it will happen since CDPR is a bit expensive. They could use some better leadership and Playstation could use good RPGs, but yeah.
I'm not putting any faith into any "maybe this will happen"s until the games actually get announced. Anything unannounced is subject to change.
If Sony want RPGs that badly, they could just moneyhat TW4 to keep it off Xbox and agree to a simultaneous PC & PS5 launch. They were willing to moneyhat a mainline FF game and the remakes of arguably the most popular FF game ever.
I don't think CDPR is making any deals with Sony any time soon after Cyberpunk, and I doubt Sony wants to be directly associated with THEM either.
I don't think CDPR can take that PR hit after the way Cyberpunk turned out, they will need Witcher 4 to regain their lost "we leave greed to others" image.
RE: London Studio game, they had a job listing (now deleted) for senior artists to work on characters, skins, creatures, weapons, and gear.
So it's very clear it's a PvE co-op game rather than fighting other players.

Also another (now deleted) job listing was talking up their engine (Soho Engine). Also mentioned procedural and scale, so possibly an open-world game?

A few new job listings got posted for London Studio's PS5 online game. I guess this would rule out PlayStation Home and The Getaway due to mention of creatures and weapons: Senior Character Artists (External Development) https://playstationlondonstudio.com/join-us/job/?id=5860193002

Many Children Movies these days deal with very serious topics and don't go the "easy route" You can explore the subject of bullying more in depth wihle still making something intended for an all-ages audience and imo you should if you touch serious topics.

Why? I don't think that Cyberpunk refunds or blockage by Playstation had any influence on the relationship, it was probably a regular business agreement. And the "they don't want to be associated with THEM" argument is also kind of funny considering the same was said about Blizzard for example, but Diablo 2 Resurrected or Call of Duty on both Playstation and Xbox were marketed just fine. And MS did acquire (or is acquiring) ActiBlizz despite being previously disgusted with them and not wanting being associated with them. If it's financially promising, they (companies) will associate themselves with the Devil himself lol
I wonder how much incentive there will be for studios / Publishers to add their PS1-3 titles to ps+
I just really hope there will be lots of psx and PS2 titles on there but the only PS2 titles confirmed being the PS4 remasters have me a pretty worried.

I would like to see PS1 and PS2 collections in the PS Store that group together both these new PS1 Classics with remasters of PS1 games, and the same for PS2/PSP era games. There are absolutely tons if you include things like Chrono Cross, Mega Man, FF, Kingdom Hearts and all the other remasters from these eras.
Regarding PS+ game streaming, did Sony communicate on launching an app on Android or Smart TVs? There are rumors that MS will launch a streaming stick for XCloud but I'm wondering if Sony is planning on going the same way or not.
Well, Sony used to have a PSNow app on Samsung tvs in 2015(?) and on their Blu Ray players, so I imagine they're thinking of bringing it back and introducing the service to more devices in the future.
Oh, I didn't know that. This gives me hope that something like this may come in the future.
Still multiplayer, though. We can't even get one fantasy single player game before we have to sink into the multiplayer bog. I'm so depressed by Sony's current direction as a publisher.
Depend on what kind of multiplayer, if it's pve online co-op, I'm still excited. And plenty pve multiplayer games nowadays allow solo play. FF14 is an mmo and I mostly play solo other than the dungeon which have party finder.
Not only that, but with CDPR you'd have to spend like $10 billion to get a one-project studio that releases a new game every 5-6 years. For a similar price you could get all of Ubisoft or Capcom.
Oh cool, I would like to see something charming and characterful from them, but unique enough to be distinct from Fable.

Nice info, thanks. I kind of expected they'd be doing another London/crime/military game so this is a pleasant surprise!
With Haven and London Studio not working on a PS Home type game.
I do wonder if anyone is making one.
Seems like a no brainer for PSVR2

Meh, the majority of modern "online games" offer solo play as a concession but the games are never well-designed around it. They DESPERATELY want you to play online and put zero effort into ensuring the solo experience is actually fun.
Go check average VRChat interaction and you will see why Sony might not want to touch something like that with 1000000 ft pole.
OP
OP
must be a big shift for London Studio to go back to AAA Home Console Games, after generations of party games/Move/VR.
same, another game that i can play and potentially like as a non VR owner

I don't expect the copyright infringements to carry over.
And I'm sure it would be moderated like all MP games
I thought you mean Home as in VR space for people to goof around in PSVR2. I still rememebr that absolute insanity that was early PS4's "Live from PlayStation" when it launched and were people broadcasting striptease and showing off their gun collections.
I meant more like PS home.
Where people could interact with each others.
PSN generates 14 Billion in sales?
Sony Group revealed that PSN sales currently amount to over $14 billion (1 trillion 800 billion yen, to be precise) across over 100 million accounts. Chairman, president, and CEO Kenichiro Yoshida said that the network remains Sony's largest direct-to-consumer (DTC) service, and is an "important" aspect of the business.

I knew PSn generated a lot but 14 billion (a year) from PSN is kinda insane...

Fantasy: +1
MP only: -10
No VR: -10
Letting one of their few 1st party studios with some serious VR experience work on a non-VR MP game makes me sad.
What's next, Insomniac isn't working on any VR game and GT7 has no VR support or it'll come out in a couple of years after PSVR2 launch? I'm slightly exaggerating here, but who knows with Sony.
Of course London Studios probably wanted to make this game, so I wish them good luck.
Pretty sure Insomniac's VR team is no more as well. All the people in that team is working on either SM2 or Wolverine.
Oh god, I don't have money to buy that kind of thing, but this is just too cute.
Do these Nendoroids ever get cheaper, or do they go out of stock fast?

Microtransactions are a hell of a business.
Lol, I can't
wait for Sony to finally unveil their PSVR2 lineup etc.

Yeah it's wild. It's more than half of their total revenue for PS.
Their ecosystem makes them a ton of money.
Other sources of revenue being: Hardware, accessories, physical game sales, PC sales, etc.
Sony needs to find a way to continue to drive and deepen engagement with their platform as they face shortages.
I mean, Destiny and Genshin are pretty much single player games most of the time. I haven't been playing Genshin for long but so far it's not required me to play multiplayer at all. Nothing stopping London Studios game being a mostly single player campaign with some non-mandatory multiplayer dungeons or something.
