Sony Playstation: First Party Studios & their Current Projects

Hands down in my top 5 favorite psp games, loved the campaign and humor. A good sports game is endlessly re playable because good controls don't age. Although considering how poorly EBG:PS4 was handled, i don't think i want to see another of my beloved ip's get a micro transaction makeover :(.

I wonder if SSM will go back to operating with 2 teams or stick with one team. It would be nice if SSM can work on the God of War sequel and a new IP.
I would hope that almost all projects Sony hasn't announced are going to be PS5 games. I think they have enough to get through 2019 now and possibly early 2020 with PS5 releasing in sometime 2020.
If they are going for 2020 I think at least another big one for PS4 would be due. Or release WiLD in 2020 I guess.
If PS5 is 2019, they are fine, but a couple remakes or smaller games would be cool.
Depends on when they'd be announcing it. If it's a game they're announcing at this E3, it should still be a PS4 game. They shouldn't announce any next-gen titles until the PS5 is revealed. I don't want to hear empty jabbering about next-gen and "what we hope to accomplish with this partnership..." before the next console even has a hardware spec nailed down. Those kinds of pre-announcement "we might do a thing someday!" announcements always lead to disappointment (or cancellation) in the end.
Don't talk about them, don't announce the partnerships, don't tease or hint, just let the ideas cook while the hardware team figures out what the next machine is going to be. And then, once the hardware's locked down and the prospective project has been focused around those specs, by all means announce it.
Can't wait. Seriously can't wait for the next instalment from my favourite game. They've got loads of improvements that they're aware of.
Good for him. Don't need him getting burned out like Straley did. Also he doesn't want to direct the next GOW so someone might already have assumed that role. I'm sure Santa Monica can get the ball rolling without him there to watch over everything either way. The groundwork has surely already been laid.
I dunno. By the time february 2020 (if PS5 is that year) rolls in all eyes will be on next gen hype cycle (and the new batch of games supposedly announced at the console reveal). They can easily ride out the year with only one big PS4 title, that being Death Stranding. I also assume VII Remake will hit that year while seemingly being a timed exclusive.
I also wouldn't count out TLOU2 being early 2020 title.
That's probably why they framed the show the way they did. Most major unannounced internal projects will likely be next gen and not something they want to talk about.
Pretty much. And there's certainly no reason to announce a game too early, especially when your console is aging and has plenty of games coming out and doesn't really need help selling. Sony's done that a lot, and they have to have learned by now that it's not a good idea.
But man, it would be really nice if they had one more top-secret exclusive for the PS4 to announce this year that completely flies against what they're going for with their current marquee titles.
Yeah I think Death Stranding could easily slip to 2020. Days Gone, MLB The Show, TLOU2, GOT and Dreams(welps) is a stacked 2019. They can afford to push one game back and DS is probably the best candidate.
If they're returning back so soon, probably developing new content for God of War ? The realms you couldn't access maybe ?
Then realms are straight sequel bait. That's why I laugh at ppl thinking they gonna waste for example Asgard on dlc
I hope not, I don't want dlc for this game, I just want the sequel.
Def. not Asgard, 90% of the plot related events in the game hint at Asgard related intervention, no way that gets relegated to DLC.
But what about Vanaheim. That could be used to bridge into a sequel because of the characters we encounter in the game from that realm.
I thought Cory made it pretty clear they definitely weren't doing DLC at all for this game.
That being said, yeah...the realm map having several "this portal will never work" nodes definitely screamed sequel-bait to me.
Speaking of Guerrilla Games, Adam Dolin (previously narrative designer for God of War) and Rainbow Six Siege game director Simon Larouche both joined the studio.
Very interesting. Who was the previous Game Director for Horizon? I thought Mathijs de Jonge was still GD.
Make that of what you will.
Correct. Mathijs de Jonge served as game director for Horizon ZD.
Lol calma he joined the writing team.

Yes for someone from god of war joining the guerrilla team for horizon 2! Now, if we can get a combat person from gow to go as well.... I'm sure they could do wonders to horizon's melee system!Speaking of Guerrilla Games, Adam Dolin (previously narrative designer for God of War) and Rainbow Six Siege game director Simon Larouche both joined the studio.
Horizon 2 best game ever made confirmed if the equivalent of that person joining happened.
Honestly i would not be surprised if Jason Mcdonald(the combat person) directs God of War 2.
hey, so about that new game plus thing I was asking the other day
I kinda really need it
If Sony are indeed in the planning stages for the PS5 I'd imagine they would want to learn from both the Vita and PS4 launch years and how they ended up. Vita had an absolute blitz of games from 1st party in the first few months, in fact I'd argue way too many, Modnation Racers and Wipeout overlap in the arcade racing genre (Granted they were different styles of arcade racer but audiences interested in both games would only end up getting one of them most likely, certainly in my case), and it also affected the quality of the games and therefore their sales and reception.
PS4 on the other hand had a slow release schedule that took longer than expected to hit it's rythm. Driveclub's delay didn't help matters too much along with restarting Uncharted 4's development.
So I think for PS5 they'll aim for a clear schedule of when their first party titles will launch so as to avoid overlap and release in the traditionally quieter months so they get the most attention. It was something they stumbled upon by accident given delays but it's worked out in their favour before.

Huh so this isn't for Horizon 2, right ? I doubt Mathijs is going anywhere.
Kilzone as launch title maybe ?
a game can have more than one game director. The Last of Us Part II has two (Kurt Margeneau and Anthony Newman)
Its not really common tho is it? Its usually a Director and then there is a Creative Director.
Yeah I can only think of ND for this approach. I think GG is going two teams again.
Yeah that's the usual route, but Guerrilla already doesnt use that structure. They dont have a creative director
They have multiple directors form a board for creative decisions. Mathijs was game director, JB was art director, John was narrative director and Michiel was technical director, together they lead the project
So IDK, maybe they are adding one more to that board.
seeing how much time was spent on each and how Capcom Vancouver was hit with a slew of cuts to the personnel leading up to the next one I am not surprised at all. The zombie movement in Days Gone also wouldnt really fit the more arcadey nature of DeadRising. From what we have seen the only difference really between the two is the speed of the zombies, higher amount of them in Days Gone and thats kinda it.
(also pretty sure if we go by MS meaning DS4 was AAA but Days Gone would be AAAA title which means quite a bit.)
groundbreaking is pioneering and/or innovating. I personally wouldn't really call this pioneering, maybe innovating? buts its literally so far just more and faster.
Killzone 4 confirmed.Speaking of Guerrilla Games, Adam Dolin (previously narrative designer for God of War) and Rainbow Six Siege game director Simon Larouche both joined the studio.
Announced in 2014 would make a lot more sense. I don't think SSM ever had two full teams though, I believe it was more of a 1.5 team structure like Naughty Dog's.
This. Everyone's shouting out their Atlus, Platinum and Level 5 dreams when in reality it's far more likely Japan Studio are working with devs they're familiar with. Assuming oldsnakeonline's source is accurate, then I'd put money on the second collaboration being with Acquire, as they've been working with Japan Studio for over a decade.
I'd be surprised if Japan Studio only has two external projects in the works though, that doesn't seem like much when it wasn't so long ago they would've had at least four external projects in development (Bloodborne, Tomorrow Children, Everybody's Golf and No Heroes Allowed VR).
Pretty sure Japan Studio doesn't have much to do with that, DualShockers are the only ones who reported it and I wouldn't really trust them to get facts right. WWS is just publishing it.
lol
I wouldn't really say that's the usual route, Naughty Dog's structure is just the most well known, at least in this circle.
But yeah, I'd assume he's just joining the creative team. Maybe he's leading up a multiplayer mode in the sequel? We'll have to wait and see.
that's actually a really good guess based on his previous work
he was online gameplay director on an unannounced game at Eidos Montreal before joining Guerrilla
Honestly, after Horizon i wish they never come back to Killzone and move forwad with a new ip.
Even the ip who was in competition with Horizon has more appeal than all the Killzone they've done.
Horizon was a solid 9/10 game for me and I loved it, but just imagine a GoW-like reboot for Killzone.
I not a big fan of first person shooters. In fact I hate them compare to the third person story driven shooter games. But Killzone 2 was something special. I would love to see a high quality Killzone from them this gen, then Horizon 2 and their new IP on PS5.
Somewhere between the PS4 and Vita's launch lineup would be a good start for the PS5. In addition, with the presumed PS4 BC, that will also help tide things over and avoid another Puppeteer-like situation.
OP
OP
Herman Hulst said something like the league of extraordinary Gentleman -Shooter, more Open Areas, similar to The Order 1886 from the Setting and Vibe(iirc)
Considering we're never gonna see a new Bloodborne, I really wish. I really wish we could just get a supernatural-based horror/action game out of Sony that isn't a shooter.
Folklore was such a cool idea...
