SIE Worldwide Studios |OT5| Part II
- Thread starter JuanLatino
- Start date
- Status
A 'PS4' game which launches for both consoles at the same time and is marketed predominantly as a PS5 launch title.
Sony didn't do cross play either or take streaming services seriously or work with their competition in the past. Times change.
Great post! I agree SIE first-party productions is totally best in class, but I think that they thrive when they have a variety of projects coming from the larger network of contract studios that fill in the epic but slower release AAA games from their main WW studios. I'm definitely hoping they fill their action / racing niche.
So Kojima confirmed in a recent Famitsu interview that as part of their collaboration with Guerilla and working with the DECIMA engine, they improved the lighting and cutscene tools specifically.
Pretty sure something is in the works already at From Software. Either Bloodborne 2 or a new Sony IP. A few more JRPGs and arcade racing titles (Rollcage or a brandnew Wipeout) would be cool indeed :)
Doubt he's really smoking tho ;)
It is, more directly, in the Japanese press release on the SIE website. No english version is currently available.
次世代コンソールゲーム機 「プレイステーション 5」に名称決定 2020年年末商戦期に発売
ソニー・インタラクティブエンタテインメント（SIE）は、次世代コンソールゲーム機の名称を「プレイステーション 5」（PS5）に決定し、2020年の年末商戦期に発売することをお知らせいたします。www.sie.com

Thanks for the heads up. I've not even played MKX yet but I'll surely give this a shot :)
he's a fan of the boof tho
the strand kush
I actually wouldn't doubt if Kojima toked.
Kojima, Kojima Productions liked this tweet. I don't know if it means something.
I'm sure Kojima & Kojima Productions is involved with PS5 development, just like all of SIE Worldwide Studios + 3rd party companies; inputs, suggestions, advices for the hardware, etc.
Kojima also close with Cerny too.
Kojima probably will sticky with Sony for next-projects as second party dev. He's a movie guy and Sony has a lot of links in movie industry, plus the fact they're probably gonna support anything he wants to do. Sony has a lot of resources that matches with his style of games.
PlayStation Blog post with Neil Druckmann on The Last of Us Part II https://blog.eu.playstation.com/201...w-the-last-of-us-part-ii-details/#sf221164279
About the new Infected types, Neil does mention that there's justification for these new stages, and he hints at it having something to do with the environment.
So I'm guessing some of the new infected will only appear in certain stages of the game, so for example we wont see Shamblers in snowy environments but only in Seattle.

A fellow on the DS Reddit is saying review codes are due Monday
True or not that's all I've seen about it
I guess he's only going to do a sequel if he feels that there's a lot of answers to be told yet. I'd like him to do other IP before a sequel anyways. He spent basically his whole life in just one franchise, I don't want that again.
Restructuring continues.
Makes sense. The SIE headquarter is in America and SIEA is their biggest market.
Jim Ryan was marketing director of SIEE for years and head of SIEE, he was maybe one of the people to decide this.
Restructuring, new strategies for a new upcoming console generation, etc. Sony right now wants to consolidate all of its businesses. And sadly, layoffs happen.
Cross posting from the Playstation EU job thread, wanted to see what you guys think.
So Playstation US is slowly becoming the Nintendo NCL? The head honcho headquarters who calls all the shots instead of each division making their own choices? Could lead to optimization of performance in the future.
Though I'm not sure how Europe will take this as Playstation EU was a powerhouse in establishing and stabilizing the brand in Europe. Without that power and always having to cater to American power/American perspective, that might lead to dissonance or favoritism. PS Japan has suffered from this mentality by not developing big Japanese catering first party games beyond like 1 or 2 this gen like Bloodborne, the rest were either lower scale/budget games or American/European localized games. Curious as to why the need to change as it seemed things were working out for each division pretty well by catering to each audience (even Japan to an extent but not as strong for the reason and point I'm making). Each division was able to build and develop a library that made Playstation as a whole well rounded. I'm sure Europe will still be in their plans and eyesight when planning games but my question is how much will the shift be (if any) in terms of who they're catering to/paying attention to the most

To be honest, I think this has been a big problem for Sony for some time. The fact that some games/accessories get marketed in one market but completely ignored in another never made any sense. Like SCEA never even gave Eyetoy or its games a chance in the US. It never was even on the radar for them. Meanwhile it became a big hit in Europe. Is that because the content only appealed to Europe? I don't think so given that a number of the game types that came from it, and motion gaming in general, would end up becoming worldwide successes with the Wii.
Now head of SIE, yeah it's hard to believe he didn't participate in these restructurings... (maybe as former head of SIEE, he tried to limit damage)
I see, that's just sad for a company this healthy
But it's quite incredible to see that Sony actually doesn't give a fuck about a winning formula. Seems like they're going all in.
It sucks, it absolutely does for people losing their jobs.
However, in an increasingly globalized world, they needed to centralize their operations. Either US or EU, and they picked.

If they do this right then their formula will be unaffected. No one outside of those that follow gaming super closely will even know this happened. The change will ultimately be that games don't fall through the cracks anymore depending on their region.
Reading about the restructuring of Sony makes me think about the company I work where the same shit is going on for like 6 months. People are scared about getting fired, rumors floating around. It is just a shitty situation. Wish the best for all affected people. I really hope it pays off.
I understand that process, ultimately, they could improve their marketing, be stronger, etc... just hope SIEA won't change too much the strategy operated in Europe because it works very well
