Could be but with Shinobis hinting about next year being huge it's hard to imagine who else would be ready.
PlayStation Studios |OT41| Preserving Democracy until the Next Showcase

- Start date
- Sony OT
Shocking nobody, surely.
Somebody should bait him into revealing that COLONY WARS is or isn't in development right now! But on the other hand I'm afraid of the truth!1
Also this, though he did say there was smoke, and he knows his reputation, but yeah. Another thread about Jason denying it is getting ridiculous though.
And there's also publishers being so secretive. People wouldn't be this desperate for news if they were a bit more transparent.
The Sly Cooper "rumor", which wasn't even a rumor but pure speculation, really shows what an embarrassing amount of people have the reading and hearing comprehension of a child.
Jason Connell said in 2020 that they were around 160 people at Sucker Punch.

Tbf this time Grubb did warn anyone making a thread or article on that Sly part, it would be on them.
That is kinda why I didn't make the thread

People also need to accept that PlayStation is no longer positioned to give their most successful studios time and budget for the smaller passion projects. Feels like Ratchet's days are numbered once they wrap up the story with one, maybe two more games. Sony's not about to start greenlighting new Ape Escapes, Jak & Daxters and such. They're all in on their biggest IPs and new ones that they feel will have the widest appeal.
Shocking nobody, surely.
How many times does it need to be said before everyone realizes that AAA games aren't turned around in 4 years or less anymore?
Yup. The truth is that most PS Studios entities will only release 1 or 2 new games this generation, and one of those games will probably be a cross gen game.
I'm hoping for a conference announcement soon. Need something from Sony to get me interested in gaming again. Been on a break for the last couple of weeks. Couldn't even finish FF7 Rebirth — I'm chilling on chapter 12. Eventually I will.
There are so many great games out right now. I want to play them all. It's difficult mustering the motivation with all the negativity hovering over the industry.

Now that Jason Schreier has once again stated how long game dev takes, I really hope we can also stop with the unrealistic expectations on how many games a studio like Naughty Dog will release this generation.
Sucker Punch were 160 around Ghost 4 years ago so I'd imagine they've grown since then like all the other PlayStation Studios. I'd guess they're in the 200 range now
Bend said they were over 150 employees last year's and are probably still around then, maybe a bit bigger but likely still smaller than Sucker Punch
Of course any studio in the world can remake a game but few could be trusted to do so with a From IP. Plus Bluepoint have proven themselves.
I'm not saying they should but it'd be very stupid IMO to make a remake with From (instead of use their precious time for a sequel) when you have the Souls remake experts right there.
I clearly misremembered then, lol. Thanks for the correction!
Iki Island/Director's Cut was only 3 years ago, they're not taking THAT long in terms of AAA development.
Tbf I think a lot of people who frequent era etc know games take a long time to make now
I mean the game released less than 4 years ago. 3 years and 10 months ago.
A big open-world AAA game needs 5 - 6 years. So they are totally on time, just like all the other big AAA games out there.
Last thing I heard was 180 employees.
I'm surprised it didn't happen, maybe the game just didn't sell well enough to be worthwhile making another game.
Well if you make another gif we can pretend that you came up with it first.

We'll have a good idea of how much money HD2 made on PC at least.
Yeah, HD2 will be a positive for sure. We will see about HW and general outlook.
I think because this is the end of the FY report, they will announce as well how much money they will have for their entire divisions to M&A and things like that right?
I think helldivers sold more than 15 million copies, the game still have more than 100k daily players and is in the top 5 of steam best sellers and the top 10 of psn USA, the game is so big, hopefully they will announce some expansion for the game in the showcase to keep the player base playing the game

Not sure if they'll mention that kind of stuff here or in one of these instead:

It should be better, they just closed studios, had layoffs, not saying it's a good thing but shareholders like that, helldivers revenue and they should have reached their revised goal of ps5 sales, I think they also finished paying Bungie so no more debt but I'm sure something will cause drama
Really interested in seeing if the next Showcase gives us a peak at what XDev Europe's been up to since Returnal, Sackboy, and Destruction AllStars. They came out the gate red hot but have been quiet as of late while the Asian department has gotten behind Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade.
I expect it to still drop due to Sony vying to spend 20 bil on Paramount though
For sure analysts seem to hate the paramount acquisition, but im talking about ps.

I mean, Helldivers 2 is XDev, and they also announced that new version of Until Dawn.
Okay, let's not pretend that Insomniac is not working on the next Ratchet and Clank game. Let's cool down on the cynicism.
