IGN: "Sony’s most mysterious studio is toiling away on something. What could it be?"
Days Gone developer appears to be moving well outside its comfort zone in order to join Sony's ongoing foray into live-service games.
Admin note: Updated this to rumor. Job listings can be a good indicator, but let's remember nothing is final until officially announced. ~Christopher
This game will determine the fate of Sony Bend. Not looking to good if it's a live service game.
I'm going to say this as someone who really enjoyed Days Gone
Why would you go and create an open world, multiplayer game with live service elements if you're previous game which was only a single player title came out flawed?
Wouldn't you want to create a new single player game to refine and fix your last mistakes to master what you were going for the first time before jumping into uncharted territories with online, multiplayer and live service which is a completely different beast entirely.
I can't be the only who thinks this right?
Just seems like your setting yourself up for failure in my opinion, you're giving yourself and your team bigger challenges to overcome in an already oversaturated market, a market where live service games made by people who are used to online and multiplayer are even struggling themselves.
It might be good, who knows, but at the moment it just seems they are biting off more than they can chew.
I full expect to see this game announced at SGF.
It's definitely not Days Gone 2 it's a new LS IP. Hope it looks and plays good.
While personal preference can undoubtedly play a part, allowing studios like Santa Monica, Insomniac and Sucker Punch to take any given fan’s top spot, the numbers supporting Naughty Dog do anything but lie. They’re the best, and you have to deal with it.
The top 5 are correct but in the wrong order IMO.
1. Naughty Dog (Top-tier dev in the industry for story, technology, acting, graphics, and gameplay)
2. Santa Monica (They're in their Naughty Dog top-tier era)
3. Insomniac (unrivaled AAA / blockbuster quantity and quality)
4. Guerilla (4 & 5 can swap places, both are equals IMO, great studios with new hit IPs)
5. Sucker Punch (4 & 5 can swap places, both are equals IMO, great studios with new hit IPs)
6. BluePoint (best remakes and remasters in the industry, just need to make their own "new game")
7. Polyphony (Hasn't evolved as much as the other 5, but still a good overall dev)
8. Sony Bend (they need a few more AAA games under their belt to rival GG / SP)
9. Hosmarque (indie dev turned AA, on the path to becoming AAA)
10. Media Molecule / San Diego Studio / Team Asobi (I wouldn't put any of these 3 above the other. MM has pushed creativity for a PS game to the limits with LBP and Dreams. San Diego mainly does MLB, but also has some good ports under their belt. Team Asobi and AStro are hits)
This is a very simple list to complete. There are no collectibles. Most of everything here is story related with a couple miscellaneous Trophies thrown in. Nothing here can be missed as there is a really helpful rewind feature as well as mission select.
yeah this is one mystery studio from sony....
the last news we got from them, came on november from playstation lifestyle and it indicates that sony bend is working on another AAA vita game base on their job listings
and then its followed on december also by playstation lifestyle and it indicates that their vita game will have multiplayer components...
and then thats it, they are been tightlip since then, i think that game will be announced in E3 ^_^
the question is what game could be it, they says its been on development since after they finished golden abyss
could it be another uncharted, or a proper resistance, a syphon filter or a new ip? what is your guess guys ^_^
give me Gabe Logan or Drake please (vita)
Its just crazy how talented they are! I'd love it if these guys took their experience they did with Resistance and make a 3rd person entry into the resistance franchise on the PS4, It would be a cross between Syphon Filter's stealth and the resistance style and crazy weapons. besides Insomniac, they are the only one's who've done the series justice. The series could find its place in this shooter genre if it became a 3rd person franchise,
They totally captured the grit and tension in the PSP resistance title. i loved it!
I cant wait to see what they are working on for the vita, i loved Golden Abyss and they seem to have a great understanding of handhelds, but its time for Bend to expand to multiple teams and work on the PS4 as well as the Vita.
Damn Shame, fans slept on resistance 3, and the fact that Sony hung Resistance 3 out to dry by not marketing it well enough. :(
Yes.
