If they just started DS2, wonder if that means they've got something else in the meantime, because I don't believe Kojima was only doing Director's Cut and pre-prod for DS2 since DS release. But who knows.

Agree, seems possible. I never played the director's cut, but the additions seemed fun from what I've seen. Even though they also looked a little cartoonish in comparison to the tone of the main game.
Curious what a sequel would look like.
I don't think that PlayStation would announce that game 3 years in advance again and that a sequel would take that long. Kojima made DS in 3-4 years with a brand-new studio, engine and idea. I don't see the sequel taking as long. But who knows.
A sequel with better combat, enemy encounters and quest design/interaction is a must to make it appealing for a wider audience.
Wolverine was announced in 2021 and is probably releasing in 2024, so I could see it getting announced next year.
Wolverine was announced early because probably Sony feared leaks. Death Stranding 2 was just leaked so that is not an issue anymore. 🙂
I see so much potential in Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword and The Order. I think these games just need the right developer and a bit of lucky.
True, but I think Wolverine might have been announced this early to get ahead of leaks and to help with recruitment. Getting developers seems pretty tough right now. So many studios, but just a limited amount of developers.
But you might be right as well. We'll see
Neither did Sony's financial situation at the time as they were cutting staff and divisions all over the company worldwide. Maybe the studio would've been given another shot if that wasn't a problem.
Of course media companies want to. They see how games can be monetized. Not only that, but when you look at Arcane, Sony with Uncharted and soon TLOU HBO show. There's just a lot of money there.
Which ones led to anything successful. The above companies have largely been unsuccessful and Disney failed in their attempt.
It is the next phase of consolidation.
Sony's probably the blueprint of what companies like Comcast wants in EA. Gaming is huge and Sony is making buckets of money from gaming. Comcast wants some of that cash.
Yeah i know it make sense but i was hoping they that they were content to just licensed instead of wanting to buy the big pubs
Because they didn't buy big pubs and cloud gaming is too early
Yes unfortunately
So Forspoken's original release date was 4 days from now meaning Sony likely had this window of time booked off in their release/marketing schedule for it. That might partially explain why things were quieter the past month or so.
The new PS+ begins its rollout of launches next week so that'll be the next marketing focus. Next up after that is probably some sort of Summer event, whether it's a showcase for PSVR2 as has been rumored, or maybe a dedicated God of War SoP like they did with Horizon last year.
If a showcase of any sort is near that would also likely explain why things have dried up a bit in the news cycle leading up to it.

In a shocking turn of events, Insiders pretend they know more than they really know... Even if Jeff does know some (Xbox) insider stuff, his hit rate for PS stuff lately has been absymal.Seeing a lot of "insider" statements about Death Stranding on socials coming back to... Well you know...
I hope one of the Sony GAAS games is a WarHawk game that grows and has a large player count.
Just pre-ordered this. Lol
I also pre-ordered the Aloy one too. They're just so damn adorable! Expensive, but adorable.
Wait, what?
I absolutely love Neve Campbell, so this is exciting news. The cast for this show is off to a really great start with Mackie, Beatriz, Church, and Campbell on board.
To be honest, I'm not the biggest Bethesda fan, so their move to Microsoft hasn't had much of an affect on me. And then there's the matter of me eventually snagging an Xbox Series X once more games I'm interested in release for it, so I'll have all my bases covered. I like to own all platforms eventually, but it really just boils down to what games I can play on them. PlayStation is always my primary console, but I like to have a Nintendo and Xbox platform as well. I've been tempted to build a new gaming PC instead, but I haven't been in the mood to build one, and I'd rather save the money and get a PSVR2, and then an Xbox Series X.
That might have been part of it, but I also think Wolverine was revealed for recruitment purposes. It may not get reported on as much by gaming media, but a lot of studios are practically in a war to acquire talent for their teams. Especially since the pandemic hit and changed the way we make games, studios have become increasingly competitive in securing talent. Just the job alone isn't enough. Pay increase incentives, bonuses, PTO, etc, etc, are all nice, and many studios are offering really enticing benefits in that area, so it's more about "Ok, you're giving me all of these sweet incentives, but what, exactly, will I be working on?"
It's one of the rare times in the industry where the talent has a lot more options than they have had in the past, and will likely take an offered position based off of what it is they'll be working on. And Wolverine, by Insomniac Games, is quite an appealing offer to a lot of talent. Hell, even if it's just temporary contract work, having that on your resume looks damn nice should the game release and be as quality as Insomniac's latest releases.
Not that fear of leaks isn't also a reason they announced the game so early. I feel like that reveal was largely a recruitment move than a move solely to keep a "surprise" from leaking.
Yeah, this exactly.
well, as a former Norman stan, him overstating anything is very laughable. The man never lies, I know from my walking dead days, he was notorious for over sharing! So it's poppy buck to say he overstates anything. He's definitely not lying, just pulling a Tom holland before Tom holland began pulling a tom holland.Seeing a lot of "insider" statements about Death Stranding on socials coming back to... Well you know...
I'm not 100% that he meant DS2. I mean, he used Ms. Pacman as an example for games in the same interview... He could be recording for other project but doesn't know for sure.
I have to come to defend Grubb again. He's literally just speculating. "I really don't think" "I don't know". Insiders are allowed to speculate as well, not everything he says is things he has inside knowledge about. This is not the gotcha you think it is.Seeing a lot of "insider" statements about Death Stranding on socials coming back to... Well you know...
To be fair, he's clearly just giving his opinion there. It's not being presented as insider info. Though I agree he's clearly wrong here.Seeing a lot of "insider" statements about Death Stranding on socials coming back to... Well you know...
It's clearly his opinion on the matter and from then till now things can obviously change and you can hear things you didn't know about before.
The world isn't a stagnant place lol
The world isn't a stagnant place lol
I like this idea that Norman Reedus is so dumb or uninformed that he has no clue what game he's working on and just assumes it's Death Stranding 2
Jeff Grubb likes to talk about video games, and he usually talks about them like a normal person. Most people, however, read everything he says in the context of him being an insider/journalist which gets him into trouble. I don't think he does this intentionally.
Watched this video about weird alien concepts on gas planets and thought that we don't have enough games with weird ass monsters/creatures/ecosystems.
He also claimed that Bloober Team is developing a faithful remake of Silent Hill 2, even though Bloober themselves said that they won't work on an existing franchise unless they can create the story themselves.Seeing a lot of "insider" statements about Death Stranding on socials coming back to... Well you know...
(The same developer with no poker face that refuses to lie, won't deny working on Silent Hill in general, and isn't good at keeping secrets.)
My trust in Jeff Grubb is starting to wane.
I thought this when he leaked the game last year, but now I am not so sure.
I would love It to be the case.
It shouldn't even be that hard lol
I think = opinion.
I heard = second hand information.
I think there is still room for the verdict to come out on this. As has been noted before, devs lie.
A lot of people have seemingly never developed any basic reading or listening comprehension skills.
He never said Death Stranding 2 isn't happening. He just didn't know about it.Seeing a lot of "insider" statements about Death Stranding on socials coming back to... Well you know...
Darkknight2149 I know you've been very adamant you don't think Bloober is making a SH2 Remake. Just for fun, I'll do a friendly wager on the opposite if you want. I think it'll make fake-E3 a little more fun.
Its clear Jeff does have sources and inside info sometimes. But he also talks out of his ass often...Seeing a lot of "insider" statements about Death Stranding on socials coming back to... Well you know...
As I already mentioned, Bloober Team has no poker face and refuses to lie. They made it obvious that they were working on a Silent Hill months before their partnership with Konami was even announced.
Bloober Team hints it could be working on Silent Hill… but it’s not the only one | VGC
Medium dev says its next game is based on an existing horror IP from 'a famous publisher'

Even in the more recent interview, they dropped this:
Their word is probably more credible than "Jeff Grubb says he heard some things."
