Kinda, but not really, because what Shu does right now is something new. It's a new initiative.

Lol, people think Sony will actually put out a jrpg?
Only if you count a demon Souls remake as a jrpg.
I could see them doubling down on wrpgs tho. Horizon two will probably be a full rpg a la assassin's Creed or the Witcher.
I could see Sony Japan and gendesign collaging again on a new ip

Who is going to be the next Jimbo victim?
- Shawn is out
- Gio Corsi is out
- Yoshida demoted to Indies and Guerrilla dude is now the strongest one
Yes, imagine someone funding AAA JRPGs in 2019
Only Square Enix

I think the point is that there is no CEO of SIE (region), there is just the CEO of SIE in general now. its part of the whole globalization process Jim Ryan is doing.
A JRPG is still possible. If they can support studios in japan to get games like The Tomorrow Children, they can support studios in japan for a 1st party JRPG.
But doubling down on WRPGs? Of course they will. Almost all of their studios are in the west. They have no JRPG/RPG team in japan. So this makes sense.
Franchises pivot all the time. Devil May Cry and Zelda both could have been doomed after the 2nd one, but they put the work in to salvage the franchises. Resident Evil could have been doomed after 6, but look where we're at now.
You're being more pessimistic than reality calls for, I don't know why you have such beef with a relatively innocuous game/potential sequel
Yes that's exactly the point. You can take any idea and make something worthwhile, which is why everyone who says the IP is poisoned is being overly pessimistic.
This and they kept talking about the world and graphics ad nauseum.
There's quite the gap between a linear corridor shooter and a ME. Something like that would require a much higher budget, taking that risk with a studio like RAD wouldn't be the smartest idea, I think TO1886 kinda proved that. I mean even SSM couldn't get things right with their new IP, and that studio had plenty of experience with big budget titles.
But why use a tarnished punchline brand when you could make a fresh brand that people are actually excited and hopeful for
RAD showed that they have a good ass engine and that's it.
Kinda like Ryse of Rome, outstanding visuals and cinematics but poor gameplay.
The Order 1886 and Ryse are secretely brothers, same universe of shitty gameplay and excellence in visuals.

Interesting, maybe Death Stranding is not an isolated situation after all.
Very excited for the future. Herman Hulst has proven to be a great leader at GG with the dev of the Decima Engine and the shift from KZ to HZD and Shuhei Yoshida leading Indie Dev Relations is perfect because of his passion for those games and the growing concern of PS neglecting Indies.
Decima "supports" PC natively since before Horizon was released acording to Digital Foundry.
Well, engines are made on PCs, so yes, they are supported "natively".
And PS4 shares the same architecture of PCs, it's even easier to "port the engine".
Why would you spend all the time and resources to make a new IP that is almost exactly the same as one you already spent the time and resources to make, while also having to make sure that it's different enough from said IP to justify the new one's existence?
There's a reason Capcom didn't just kill Resi after #6 and release a carbon copy "new" IP without the associated baggage. It's because it would be a stupid waste of time and money. Just take what you have and make it better.
I think licensing Decima Engine is not a bad idea, assuming developers are in, instead of opting for Unreal Engine 4.
I don't see why he wouldn't be? I mean, Someone has to present these indie games that he handpicked himself.
The baby in the tank is a pretty amazing cross over. I love it.
This. How can you sacrifice so much in the name of plot only to bungle it up.
How does literally everything get blown out of proportions in this thread. A MP title maybe, but Horizon? You're kidding me? Did you read the latest piece with Jim, he said exclusives are still paramount to playstations strategy.
Crossposting from the MC thread:
If I understand Falcoms financial report correctly, Sony has now overtaken Konami as their biggest major customer.
Last financial year 33.9% of Falcoms revenue directly came from Sony.
At this point Sony might as well buy them :p

I thought you were saying why wouldn't they make a new Victorian retrofuturistic/teslapunk IP rather than use The Order again to tap into that same niche

Yeah... and after they they will buy Marvelous, Arc System Works and NIS.
Oh, no I would assume they would do something completely different.
Still hiring uh.
With TLOU 2 in May, GoT is going to be cross-gen, i'm 70% sure.
There's still a 30% possibility of September 2020 release, 2 months before PS5 launch.
Anything running on PS4 or PS5 hardware has a chance of showing up on PC if SIE wants it there. Porting PS4/PS5 games to PC isn't difficult. The engines aren't causing any issues. It's all about SIE wanting a PC port or not.
Bend really been supporting this game the right way.
I might jump back to get the Platinum and do some of the challenges.
MediEvil only being out for less then 2 weeks and it already outsold games like Sekiro (launch numbers!) ;D
Sir Dan, baby! <3
edit.
Again, so everybody gets that. These here are launch week numbers.
Impressive for a little game like MediEvil :) It launched on a friday. Go Sir Dan!
