I'm sure that Sony's studios can find better ways to make bank other than selling 20 different beach wear or swimsuit costume dlc's
JRPG's need to make a comeback. Look at FF7 remake, it looks amazing and also FF14
Mostly because they already went that road and it didn't work
Pretty great news day for Playstation as far as i'm concerned.....Herman Hulst a great pick for WWS head,Shu looking after indies and GG in safe hands with their new leaders.
Jimbo getting shit done....and Death Stranding out tomorrow too!

Damn it, I should have mentioned maid costumes!Mostly because they already went that road and it didn't work
Since the DS reviews hit, I've been tryna stay media blackout, avoiding any DS spoilers & all the takes especially the pessimistic ones surrounding it.
Just stoked to finally get Death Stranding in my hands tomorrow.
There's probably no one better suited at PlayStation than Herman Hulst to lead SIE WWS into the next generation especially with how far Guerilla Games has come from with their PS2 start to now in how they warmly welcomed & presented themselves with Kojima. And I'm glad that Shu is still sticking around too, with role that also directly reports to Jim Ryan, and allows him to focus more on indie scene that he always enjoys hanging around in whether that's in Japan, China, Singnapore, US, Finland, etc. Really exciting changes.

It seems I was right....
yes, Ang, you were pretty spot on... the difference now seems to be that Jim Ryan will be the effective "Chairman" of WWS overseeing all studio internal and external dev where Shawn was there to do so before.
They've now spun out a separation of
External Independent development with Shu reporting to Jim on those particular projects. Makes me think Sony will be taking a more active publishing stance and building out this notion with Shu before hiring someone to oversee it later in the PS5 generation as he nears Japanese retirement age.
So does all this restructuring make my dream socom reboot more likely at all even a little bit
Visiting independent studios so we can speculate as to why he visited them.
I mean who is going to do it?
most Sony studios with their freedom would rather work on their own created Ips or a new IP
I figure it doesn't have to be WWS. Can be a 2nd party who has a decent track record with online MP but still would take on a successful IP. Kinda like slant 6 but not as horrible?
well they are testing the waters with that Predator game
if everything works out I can see it as maybe the third step in their MP push
Don't be sad the IP is dead, be happy you were there when it happened.
in charge of WWS
green-lights games
cancels others
secures exclusives
studios report to him
I don't know. I think people who really want to play Death Stranding will buy a PlayStation 4 even without a specific Black Friday bundle. But for people who are interested by the PlayStation 4 but haven't buy it yet, it's a great bundle, because it's include the best exclusive, the best selling game from Sony and the GOTY 2018.
Sony should make clear to all indie developers that virtually all of its IPs are "available". An good idea and some great execution can make anything happen. I'm 100% sure that there is a studio out there that can pitch and develop a new Twisted Metal, Socom, Ape Scape and so on.
I always wonder that Japan division didn't/couldn't be motivated/inspired seeing other first-party JRPGs goes 2+ to 3+ million sales???
Ironically, the SIEJA director said how important a certain JRPG series called Persona for the PlayStation platform, without even mentioning their own IPs on mobile...
That's the part that's fascinating. JRPGs have been going through some kind of rebirth the past couple of years. And yes, most of that success is localized around a couple pillar franchises like FF and Kingdom Hearts and Persona, but that doesn't mean a well-made, well-marketed RPG that isn't just a trojan horse for gross sexualization nonsense and stock high school anime tropes would automatically do badly.
It's all about presentation and market positioning. Sony of all companies has the bandwidth to pull something like this off, and if both Nintendo and bloody Microsoft are going out of their way to shore up their RPG offerings, it makes no sense that Sony's just shrugging and going "notmyproblem.gif".
In short words: Studio resource allocation and project management oversight.
Alundra needs to be on the table. I'd like to see them approach some studio that specializes in games with high quality sprites to remake the original.
Jim too. He saw everyone here crying about smaller games and now Shu got the job. JRPGs next
Era, what's your bet on this one: who's going to replace Hulst during the PS6 era, Cory or Neil?
Again, but why bring that constant demanding into this thread? Make a PS wishlist thread, DO NOT put it here.
So it's alright for people to shit on people who want RPGs, but it's not alright for people to want RPGs. Got it.

The ratio of you asking to people shutting you up is like 1000:1. So yeah I believe its fine right now.
Amen, especially the bolded.
I imagine Sony probably does have some well-budgeted RPGs on the way, from either in-house and/or through collaborations.
It's just that some folks in this thread are hoping it ain't true and shooting it down at every turn; they're scared.
:V
A new sci-fi JRPG developed by Santa Monica Studio starring remade apes from ape escape going against a Helghast army using some motorstorm vehicles in a zero gravity space. Everyone's happy, I suppose?
Sony would never announce a game on some random day. Especially a game from Cory. Probably some side gig for him. A book or a show he is writing
