A dude said they needed to be completely restructured into a AAA team to make them useful.

Their contributions to all of Sony's studios is pretty diverse but they're everywhere.

The PlayStation Template is getting worse. Now they're not even bothering to put trees in the games.

I have this tab as well. It seems to only allow me to change from countries within the EU (I'm from the UK). There is no option for US or Japan.

not saying those pictures have any significant meaning, but lets not forget that hinting (or having Easter Eggs) towards unnanounced projects wouldn't be something new when it comes to Sony Ads

Yeah, you're right, they've done a lot of hinting in these types of ads before.

Unless somehow Crash Trilogy was in development for like 4 years (4 years for a remaster lol) I doubt they had any clue of anything Crash related coming.
It's possible they were in talks about it trying to make it happen back then though.

I hope PSN will allow for account merging in the future, its awful to have to manage many different accounts.

i don't know man, every easter egg turning out to be a Ps4 Game 5 years later seems like a weird coincidence.
+ the game might not have been in development by that time, but maybe greenlighted or planned. That Sign was way too obvious, to count as a nostalgic throwback

what's the deal with Sony and CyGames?
a mobile studio making bid budget console games now, and all of them exclusive to Ps4

Are they a big studio? are they funding/publishing these big games themself?

Granblue Fantasy on mobile makes bank.

Bank.

So Cygames are able to spend that gacha money on cool projects like console games and anime and stuff.

Saw this on Reddit a moment ago, anyone can confirm? Supposedly it is possible to change the region of the PSN Store now.

Oh? This is gonna be huge. I'm thinking of the possible complications this would cause with different regions having different PlayStation Plus offerings, but with the upcoming removal of PlayStation 3 and VITA games, maybe this will roll along with it and they'll give us a unified selection of free games every month instead.

I think Nintendo has a 5% stake in the company.

They could be acquired but since this is a Sony thread, let's face it Sony ain't buying shit.

There not even inisiatives to make a Fate console JRPG yet...

Sony Music probably didn't give a f because Grand Order mobile already monstrous as it is now.

But how the hell SIEJA manage to land a Fate JRPG when there are no new first party console JRPGs in the first place... /: (

Probably because Fate games haven't been huge hits on consoles before and FGO is under Sony's Music division not PlayStation.

i don't think there is deal between them
the only reason why they make it only in ps4
because i don't think switch can run this game
and xbox 1 is dead in japan
maybe the game will release to xbox and pc in the west

in the case of Projekt Awakening tough, its not a typical niche japanese game made for that audience.
Its a big budget game (at least it looks like it) made for a global audience - so being absent from Xbox and PC is a little Surprising in this case.

The GranBlue games and Project Awakening really look awesome. Cygames is releasing some great stuff in the future. They're doing what I'd like to see more from Sony Japan as well.

why they want announcement to the xbox 1 and pc now
and they only announcement release it in japan
we know the only big platform for big games there target ps4
so there is no reason to announcement to xbox 1 and pc now
we will know that if the game will release in west
it will be just on ps4 or not

Plus Sony Music doesn't own Fate, they license it from Type Moon.

Neither game has been announced for the west yet.

Most of the third party japanese games have been going to PC the last couple of years. SE just had a huge slew of ports announced for PC/xbox so japanese publishers probably feel better about those platforms than they did back in 2016 when granblue was announced.

One thing I'm surprised not many people mentioned (as far as I know at least) is that Sony's first-party lineup for 2019 and beyond is predominantly new IP. Days Gone, Dreams, Concrete Genie, Blood and Truth, Death Stranding, and Ghost of Tsushima are all new and original IP. I find that pretty refreshing, especially in a climate filled to the brim with sequels and reboots of already known franchises. While I certainly don't mind more of what I already love, it's good to see a major company like Sony take so many risks in trying something new.
