Man, it'll be a lot easier if we could import 2D images.
But to think those paintings look like a 2D made in Dreams...
Phew. 👀

It's gonna be like this until the Sony PS5 blowout event, whenever that is (I'm thinking May, but wouldn't be surprised if it's later because of corona)
that number is not true at all. at all. You should fact check stuff before posting made up stories like this.
Team Ico hasn't really been a thing for over a decade. A lot of those employees work there, yes, but as a formal dev team they haven't really been a thing in a long time.
You know I'm glad that post ain't go unnoticed cuz it's really cool
I much rather Sony give the smaller guys they working with the chance .
So i talking BP, Housemarque , Arrowhead they got talent and having the budget to match would go a long way .

As someone playing AC i haven't been this chill in weeks
Ueda is an absolute treasure. I'm there for his next game day one as long as it comes out on the PS5, which I assume it will because Epic doesn't seem to be too concerned about console competition.
But yes, him moving on to another publisher is a further sign of Sony placing less importance on Japanese devs. And that's sad to see, especially if you fell for the PlayStation brand in the first place because of all those weird Japanese games that were getting released left, right and centre during the PS1 days. Jumping Flash!, Parappa, Vib Ribbon, Ape Escape, so on and so forth.
I just really don't want more open-world, field-exploration simulators that take all their notes out of the Ubisoft Bible of AAA Game Design, but it seems like that's the trajectory Sony are heading into based on recent years.

I'm getting that bad boy today actually. Gonna risk it all go outside to get a sd card for the switch
Why are you drawing conclusions about a company that is clearly waiting to announce new games and has been doing so for two years? Three of their absolute latest games are Concrete Genie, Death Stranding and Dreams. None of these can be accused of being conventional.
At least wait until the PS5 is fully revealed before drawing conclusions. Sony is not announcing anything right now for a reason. When was the last time they announced a narrative-focused western AAA game? Seems they don't care about those either because I can tell you that it was years ago.

See you are asking to disappointed. At this point Kojima wants to be independent.
Bluepoint is already working and has worked with Sony exclusively. This is probably a beneficial relationship to both. BP gets paid. Sony reaps benefits without having to spend money on buying the studio.
Now I don't even know why RAD on this list. The game they made exclusively for PS was a straight up flop and I don't see anyone other than people in this thread bring them up as a studio acquisition as a fantasy.
For me it's just getting to a point where Platinum games could announce a partnership with EA. Not being bought by them, but just a partnership and people in this thread would comment "Wow Sony losing on another studio..Yikes."
When it comes it's time for "bad Sony guys moneyhated and are acting in bad faith on not telling us when it comes to other platforms" drama.
Exactly. Such a shame that Sony doesn't give a crap about games as an art form anymore
I think this style of posting is their hobby honestly. Like they get a rise out of annoying ppl, instead of ya know gaming. So yeah, just gonna go through a new blocking wave and take me a little 1-2 week break.
Man ...I truly hope we are talking about PS5 and games again soon, this epidemic is souring good vibes around the world. stay safe my bros, y'all annoying but I love you, well most of you 😂
Acquiescence good posts. We just gotta wait for the big lineup reveal. BB and Ape Escape at least seem to be not forgotten. We might get more experimental Sony back, they already went outside the box with hardware.
Microsoft is still playing catch up to Sony in studio talent and have proven nothing yet. Sony has added a second team to Guerilla, they have an unannounced new AAA studio or team in California. They have a partnership with Kojima. They are partnered with Bluepoint. They are very likely partnered with Housemarque and Arrowhead for next gen games. They finally acquired Insomniac which is by far the best acquisition anyone has made. I'm not sure what some of you want.

when it comes out im gonna avoid era for a while, given all the shitposts and threads that will follow
You don't know what quality those games will be once released, if they will be good or bad or even if the studio will be around in 3 years. You're just basing this on "MS bought studios so Sony needs to do the same"
MS needed to do something because even their premire AAA games have been underperforming. Again WWS is fine. Their games sell millions upon millions and usually deliver.
And you're right. They do need to grow it's why they bought a MAJOR studio in Insomniac. And as they've said. They'll keep looking at opportunities that best fit what they want.
But it really comes off as some of you want them to buy studios just for the sake of buying them.
I am looking for teams that bring things to their first party that we don't already have. Sony still has no marquee RPG franchise, for example.
I just finished work and realized there are mini Direct + games and Ueda next work published by Epic.
Truly random Tuesday if you think about it.
Albeit not what expected, lol.

Epic Games' publishing deal sounds like heaven for indie studios! Very glad for them. And probably their games will also come to PS4/5
It's perfect game for this current world affairs, just chill out and have some happy fun time.
Yo for real I was just reading up on those deals that's like a gold mine for independent studios. 50% ? Keep the ip? Who wanna make a game studio with me lol
Pretty much.
PS5 will still get all those low and mid-tier third party Japanese games (mostly via PS4 BC), but it's still sad for an old school Playstation fan to see how much they've shifted their internal focus to huge AAA gritty western games and almost nothing more.
Hopefully at least you're allowed to say this without being branded as a troll or a drama queen.
Imagine going nuts with Sony and their 3P relationships when in the last 6 months we got : Death Stranding, Ni Oh 2 and Persona 5 with FFVII coming out soon.
Now imagine being mad with their first party output when we just had Dreams released and will have The Last Of Us II and Ghost of Tsushima soon.
Imagine that.
Team Ico doesn't exist anymore since 2011. A lot of them are still at Japan Studio, but they aren't a "team" anymore.
Yet you wanted Remedy? Your criteria is all over the place. HZD is about as marquee as it gets for an action RPG.
You have to twist yourself into knots to spin independent studios signing with other publishers as specifically a Sony failure. Including one they've never actually worked with (Remedy).
It's like blaming Sony for third parties releasing their wholly owned and published projects on other platforms. I though we weren't supposed to support moneyhats?

That's the weird part. They are a concept/idea studio, not really a development studio. So I don't know how that's gonna work out. Maybe they will have Epic Games Japan will develop their ideas? 🤔
Again. Remedy actually makes interesting games. Control was probably the most engaging game I played all through last year. Significantly more interesting than anything I've played out of Sony in particular since Bloodborne. I LIKE weird shit like that. It's my jam.
It's just that Sony is the only publisher that I trust to give enough budget, time and marketing for remedy's games.
Their last game working with SIE broke them. Team Ico would have not been "dissolved" and GenDesign founded if that wasn't the case.
Housemarque probably made a deal with Sony before the Epic publishing deals started... Sony better lock them down if the game does well, else Housemarque is absolutely walking
Kojima defs gonna get snatched by someone who isnt Sony. Same with RaD honestly. I think Bluepoint is the only chance Sony has at at another studio.
Its really interesting how after any news for the industry some here always end up to say: "Sony is doomed."
The publishing deal from Epic is insane for many developers out there. These are great news for the industry.

Putting Ready at Dawn on such a list is just asking to be disappointed. RaD was gone the second The Order bombed.
Agreed. They are putting that Fortnite money to good use.
Jimbo and panic shouldn't be in the same sentence together. The man is ice cool.
