I'd rather not see Sony studios be turned into licensed IP factories, leave that to the partner studios.

Yeah but the avengers stuff looks so bad IMO. At least give us a Wolverine game, a good one. Lol
But they've finally found critical success & acclaim after such a long string of games with mixed reception. Spider-Man is their HZD. They've spent so long on trying to build new IPs with Fuse, Sunset Overdrive, Song of The Deep, & those 3 VR Games, and yet their biggest return to form was through Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank. So unless it's VR, I don't think I'd want them to rush back into making new AAA IP anytime soon.
I'm hoping that they can alternate between the 3. Ratchet ---> New IP ---> Spiderman ---> VR Game
The time table would make me really sad.
Something that all those attempts have in common is that they weren't made with Sony. This generation they saw R&C have its biggest success followed by Spider-Man being the biggest success they've ever had. James Stevenson made this post before Spider-Man came out, and I think it's important to keeep it in mind goign forward with any potential new IP's they may make under Sony
And they can find that same success again like they did with Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, and Resistance. Spider-Man isn't their franchise and I think that'll always be a chip on their shoulder when you compare their contemporary success to Guerrilla, Naughty Dog, Media Molecule, Sucker Punch, Bend, etc. I think they'll want to establish a new franchise to mark their new relationship with Sony.
let's be honest. if marvel offers X-Men license, Sony is not turning it down.
That's true too. Sony & New IPs has mostly been ace this gen. So a new Insomniac IP under Sony might perform way better than their previous attempts.
Yeah, but nothing is guaranteed. I don't even think any of them see it that way either seeing how passionate they all are about Spider-Man in the first place. To me it seems their approach is more of how can we surpass the bar placed by SIE Studios with Spider-Man than lets show Sony we can make a new AAA IP too. Plus it just doesn't seem too practical to me considering Spider-Man already took most of the studio's resources. Add a new AAA IP on top of the already assumed Spider-Man 2 and maybe a new Ratchet & Clank then to expect all of them strike the same or even better success seems wild.
Outside VR, I'd expect them to go Spider-Man 2, Ratchet & Clank, Spider-Man 3 then a New AAA IP for PS5, similar to ND's PS3 output with UC & TLOU.
The leap between Death Stranding and HZD regarding character models is impressive as hell. I'm curious to see if Guerrilla will take the same realistic approach on Horizon 2 or not.
I feel like they have to be, considering it's what the studio was focused on, but it isn't theirs. I think something spawned internally would be more of a labor of love than a licensed property. That's not to say that Insomniac didn't put love or care into Spider-Man, it's clear that they did. I think it's a common trait to care more about the things that you personally create rather than someone else's creation that you're tasked with working on. If you don't take risks, you stand to gain nothing. Guerrilla took a major risk and it paid off for them majorly. The same can happen for Insomniac.
You're not wrong.Me thinks that Nioh 2 looks way better than Sekiro.
I should really be on media blackout for Death Stranding, but damn imma tune in for the stream.
Yea, no doubt about that. Just don't think they'll rush into it, but I'm open for surprises.
Shoot, it'd be wild if they've reserved a small team for New AAA IP the whole time instead of Ratchet & Clank during Spider-Man's development.

True
I'm hoping that they did something like that and are just pitching and prototyping stuff. I think they'll go wild with the greater amount of creative and financial freedom.
I don't want SIE to become a licensed IP factory, but after having beaten Control, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want an X-Men game featuring Magneto as the lead protagonist battling the X-Men, Avengers, Fantastic Four, Apocalypse, The Purifiers, and Sentinels. Remedy convinced me that it could work, and having Magneto as a protagonist ensures that the game will have a great narrative. If Remedy did come under the Sony umbrella, they definitely could do it. If they weren't available, Sucker Punch could definitely do it justice.
Was combat shown?
Contender? I can't see anything this year that looks so good compared to this. This is your GOTY already.
Coolio, hopefully it'll be posted soon. Glad to hear that though, my only reservation about the game has been eased.
Was worried after Gamescom, I should have never doubted Kojima-san
It's exactly what he did. After watching it now it's easy to understand why Kojima's had such a hard time explaining what the game is. It's very weird. But you can also tell that it's very much from the people that made MGSV. There are a ton of systems in play.
I think I just got tired of the cutscenes and wanted to see gameplay, welp he delivered. It's gonna be a divisive game I think, but what you can't say is he played it safe.
