Yes please.
If they won't make a GR3 then I want this atleast.
Nice, now I can beg for a Colony Wars movie too!
Hope they can manage to make some solid Game based movies, would be cool, not gonna hold my breath though, lol.
Edit: Kojima will make a Death Stranding movie, mmw!

I guess there could be some stuff that he might not think they'll cover in games, so they can instead do that through the TV show.
I know that, but it had the PlayStation Originals label.
Didn't they have some weird cartoon that was available to PS Plus members years back?
Once they willing to put in the budget a TV show can work .
In these days we looking at tv shows that have huge budgets .
Most definitely in spartan I could see the 1st season being more of just him as a regular soldier etc
Hopefully they seriously consider animation when looking at certain I.P. Like something like Bloodborne as a very stylized animation would be potentially amazing, but as a live action it'd probably look awful or be a money black hole.
They have so many ips that can work as shows that it can hopefully be a good thing, just need some Kevin Feige type dude to manage this stuff.
The question I have tho, is there any project actually already running? I don't expect them to tell us which but I'd like to know if I can expect a product in about two years or I'll have to wait five years for this to pay off in any sort of way.
It would not be much different from making deals with Netflix, Disney and Hulu to be honest. A new exclusive video service for this, being accessible by PS+ users would be very interesting for them.
Maybe they could even create a new PS+ tier just for this, costing $5 to $7 a month.
Sony's plan.
If they can't do the game right, they'll try doing it in tvs and movies.
I get the feeling that videogame movies are eventually gonna usurp the blockbuster movie throne from comics. Won't happen overnight, of course... but all reigns come to an end, and will the MCU ever have another Endgame moment? It might take over decade for videogame movies to overtake comic book movies, but I think it's bound to happen.
I feel confident in stating that we won't have to worry about Sony causing any kind of confusion in the killer clown game with a Twisted Metal anything.
Sorry, Twisted Metal fans...
Who knows. They could make it a series that builds up the characters and the actual car combat event to be a movie, since everyone will die and only 1 person gets the wish.
Itll never happen and that's a crime
Bring on twisted metal TV series
I'd make the Show focus solely on Kratos, from to childhood to God of war 1. That would help prevent too many dues ex machina moments where making the show good collides with the actual story.
I remember a leak where they were trying to adapt Nintendo is. Hopefully they go through.
But my be is that this division will be dead in 3 years.

I'll take a God Of War series spinoff with Thor as the main protagonist. God of Thunder > God Of War.
I'd be happy already if they'd manage to make a single movie as good as say Guardians of the Galaxy in the next decade...
The big difference being that doing a deal with Netflix, Disney etc. would let them reach a big new audience that may not be with Playstation.
Limiting your content to PSN means that you are aiming at existing PS users for the most part.
Definitely better to have the game people be more hands on
I dunno why it sounds like they're following the MCU though when Sony's IP barely connect, if at all. Unless they really do make an All Stars Battle Royale movie which would be a helluva thing.
My personal guess is they'll do something for God of War, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Infamous, and something set in the Last of Us universe that isn't an adaptation. Dunno if that already existing Uncharted series entered development hell, but I'd be all for the Young Nathan Drake Adventures.
I think they might work with anime studios for the Japanese stuff, with PlayStation Productions being the distributor. Give me an Everybody's Golf sports anime, those two cats starring in a video game comedy thing like Pop Team Epic... Release animated shorts based on LocoRoco, Patapon, and Parappa.

Don't know about movies, but exploring more than games was part of the deal that he signed with SIE.
Do it! It's perfect for a tv show! At least the reboot/4 is...
I think its more like after licensing the ip for xmen and spiderman movie to fox and sony, they decided to open a marvel studio to make the movies themselves.
So now SIE will try to dl the same thing, they will make their own movie instead of licensing it to other studio
ouuuh i did not know that. They never specified anything about this?
Ohh yeah that makes more sense, hope it works out just as well for them.
They actually tried making original programming for the PSN Video store back in 2015 with the Powers series. It didn't seem to make much of an impact, and was cancelled after the second season.
Remember when Sony Pictures had so little faith in the God Of War franchise (and PS properties in general) that they sold the film rights off to Universal with Brett Ratner attached to direct?
Meeeeeemba?!
Unless this outfit is free to cut development deals with other studios (which they won't) I'm not sure I see how this is going to make any difference. It might work but the idea that they'll essentially be a Marvel style production silo within SPE (self contained development etc) seems a good idea on paper but the actuality might be a different proposition entirely.
Could this be Sony preparing for a future where there is some 'conscious uncoupling' between it and it's film studio division and they want to retain control of the valuable PS IPs?
