Level 5 JRPG nudge nudge, wink wink ;)

Brotard3264d ago

I keep forgetting the sheer number of quality AAA studios Sony has! I love being politely reminded though!

SniperControl3263d ago

Got a feeling GT7 will be announced, the Logitech G29 wheel has been designed for it, the rotary dial and other buttons are exactly like the DFGT, a wheel designed for GT5.

Why o why3263d ago

sniper control....nice sniper vision

bouzebbal3263d ago

Ni-Oh has been talked about the past days and Tecmo said they were building the engine from ground up.. probably a PS4 release!

Sucker Punch, quantic dream and a big thing from Japan Studio.. my head will blow!
and add GT7!

I'm thinking that we might get a new White Knight Chronicles. I wasn't a fan of the first game (felt a bit clunky) and I didn't play the second. However that doesn't stop me wanting to see what could be done with the series on PS4.

Also I'd love to see a new Folklore! *yanks PS4 controller in anticipation*

pivotplease3264d ago

Nah it would be Ni No Kuni 2 first I think. A Dark Cloud 3 could still happen though since the gaming industry is in nostalgiagasm mode.

nX3264d ago

Ni No Kuni 2 needs to happen, WKC was alright but Ni No Kuni was a masterpiece.

Morpheuzpr3263d ago

WKC was grossly underrated, I mean the game even had its own social network of sorts, something I haven't seen in any other game.

Between TGS and Gamescom, the rest of this year will be as epic as E3 has already been.

Japan Studio is very talented, i wish Sony would get these guys to work on more Vita games.

DarkOcelet3264d ago

Even though i am a bit sad that they Sony will be skipping Gamescom, i think they will blow our minds in TGS.

JRPG games! Old IP's reboot! New IP'S! New sequels!

Majin-vegeta3264d ago (Edited 3264d ago )

They're skipping it cuz a few weeks later they will be at Paris Game week.

@Soap thank you for correcting me.

SoapShoes3264d ago

And they aren't skipping it, they just aren't having a conference. Their show floor at GamesCom is the largest.

majiebeast3264d ago

They are skipping GC but they are going to Paris game week instead because its better for the schedule so we really did not lose a conference just 1 got moved ahead.

LiViNgLeGaCY3264d ago

Ah. So they're actually having a conference at Paris game week, then? Good to know.

morganfell3264d ago (Edited 3264d ago )

Yes they are having a conference in Paris. I fully expect a live demo from Ancel for the game WiLD since he lives in France and works there with his team.

ThichQuangDuck3264d ago

One multiplayer game please. Coop and Multiplayer just one. Syphon Filter, Socom reboot, Timesplitters

anything

Josuey3264d ago

i agree, sony needs a big multiplayer exclusive

ThichQuangDuck3264d ago

Drawn to Death is the closest we got currently

ssj273264d ago

I just played down to dead next to david jeff itself here outside the convention center and the game is fun but not the competitive multiplayer PlayStation needs but for sure is a game to play and have a lot of fun with.

DarkOcelet3264d ago

LOL!

I have to admit, thats a first. Many are asking for more SP games. Rarely anyone asks for an MP game. But doesnt Uncharted 4 have MP?

ThichQuangDuck3264d ago

I need something in between all singleplayer. One multiplayer game that is just amazing. Battlefront is exclusive DLC and something seems fishy. Destiny is well Destiny. I like interaction with others

MegaRay3264d ago

Playstation Allstars 2 would be perfect *cry on the corner*

xKugo3264d ago

They could use a multi-player focused game; won't lie. Something maybe not on the same scale as Halo but just as addictive would do them a lot of good. Personally, KZ3 multiplayer, for me, was so good. I played that game just about as much as I did BF3 multiplayer. Blood Gracht was money

JWiLL5523263d ago

For all it's faults, Shadowfall has some amazing MP. It's really quite underrated.

I know Guerilla has more than one studio, I wouldn't mind another Killzone game (as long as it doesn't take away any focus from Horizon!).

LoveSpuds3263d ago

I dont feel that Sony "need" to provide a multiplayer game specifically, but would be all over a SOCOM game if they released one.

MysticStrummer3263d ago

I'd go for that too. Planetside 2 will be free next week. It may go to XB1 eventually but for now it will be console exclusive. I don't expect it to take off on console though.

JoeReno3263d ago

Resistance FOM, MAG, AND Killzone 2 were my favourite MP games last Gen. Would love to see MAG2.

ion6663263d ago

I think the closest we will have of a SOCOM game is the Ghost Recon Wildlands.

"Got that one right, Shu!"

Kind of ironic when Sony is focused on GaaS like never before.

Flakegriffin391d ago (Edited 391d ago )

Companies evolve overtime. Sony has implemented themselves in the single player space relatively well. Now they can expand further by doing more all while still giving us single player experiences. Obviously Shu is speaking on GaaS games being the main dominance of the gaming space and if that’s the future then that indeed sucks.

You can have that mindset all while still creating some GaaS titles.

InUrFoxHole390d ago

They have 10 in the works right now.

Crows90390d ago

Absolutely! Man all the freaking gaas games theyve been releasing...wait. Not a single one.

sinspirit390d ago

Did you read? It says "dominated". That word means something.

RedDevils390d ago

They don't want to be Blockbuster, too stubborn to adapt with time.

tagzskie390d ago

kinda ironic when it comes to xbox you xboys can even defeat einstein in explation why its good, when it comes to ps you guys became dumb and dumber..

FinalFantasyFanatic390d ago

How so? They're only after one or two good GaaS games, they're throwing crap at the wall until something sticks, alot of those games in development are going to languish and die shortly after release. They're still predominately focused on their core strategy of great single player games (look at the previous interview where they admit they cancel alot of games).

Bathyj390d ago

God why do Xbox gamers always love the thought of PlayStation being as crappy as Xbox.?

DarXyde390d ago

"Like never before" regarding GaaS is like saying "PS3 is a console that launched with HDD space like never before": it's a very low bar to clear because there isn't much precedent.

I happen to agree with Shu here. I don't think being a GaaS title is a scarlet letter, but I can't think of any live service games that have been great at launch either. Naughty Dog is looking likely break that trend. I'd say two love service titles at a time is the sweet spot. I suspect people can only deal with a limited number of live service games contemporaneously.

TheCaptainKuchiki390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

Lmaooo
People always criticize Sony because 90% of their exclusives are single player games. People say they are too expensive because of low replay value.
And you wanna pretend like Sony is focusing on Gaas? Their biggest games aren't Gaas unlike MICROSOFT.

ModsDoBetter390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

How are Sony focused on GaaS?

They own Bungie and have Destiny but the majority of their titles are far from GaaS.

Why, if you are such a die hard Xbot, do you rush to comment on Sony related articles?

1Victor390d ago

@obscure
Are you ok now we was worried about your mental health state when you disappeared for almost a week from bashing PlayStation articles.
Is the word DENIED still triggering you?

I haven’t read the article as my spam blocker always red flags that site and I don’t t want to risk it so a general comment it is 🤦🏿
We all know live services game and quality rarely goes together but some of them are fun to play

derek390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

@Obscure, Sony is starting from a place of zero which requires a big initial investment to establish themselves in the live services market.

Vengeance1138390d ago

It's very much the opposite, Shu said this damn well knowing Sony is going hard on GaaS. This is Shu confirming that Single player games won't be effected at all despite them going into Live service.

Extermin8or3_390d ago

Except they aren't really- they have what may be a live service game from Haven studios and firewalk studios, they have another from a second party dev and an fps game with multiplayer focus by deviation games, they counted Gt7 as a live service game but really it's not much different to how recent GT titles were treated, they have the last of us factions, a Horizon multiplayer game in production at guerilla alongside horizon 3, a new ip from Bungie. The rest of their studios seem to be hard at work on traditional singleplayer games that may also have a multiplayer mode or may not. So their live service titles are mostly in development from either new teams setup at existing studios or from acquisitions they have made which really just replace the capabilities they once had through Sony Online Entertainment until they sold it half a decade ago. Only I'd argue their new capabilities in this space would appear to be better and have higher quality talent than it did back then.

Thank god for actual gamers in the industry.

neutralgamer1992391d ago

Shu I agree but right now Sony themselves are working on more than 5 live service games

Redemption-64391d ago

He never said they were not working on any. He said, he doesn't want to see Gaming's Future dominated by live-Service Games. Sony currently has 25 games in development. 10 being live service games, with the other mostly likely being single player games and that is honestly a very good balance

neutralgamer1992391d ago

I agree I just hope their live service games are not simple money grabs and try to do some good interesting things

-Foxtrot391d ago

"and that is honestly a very good balance"

The issue is, whether people want to admit it or not because it's Sony, but once a company gets a taste of that money GaaS games make the chances of them going money crazy becomes super higher

I know what you'll probably say

"bu bu but Sony wouldn't do that"

NO COMPANY is immune, even the best can fall and I really don't want to see that happen here.

The fact people will completely blow that off and pretend it's not even a possibility is worrying to me because that's how we end up shits creek.

They might be fine...they might go too far but at the moment I don't think it's a bad thing at all to be sceptical with the shit this industry has gone through in the past 10 years alone.

FinalFantasyFanatic390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

The thing is most of those 10 games won't even be viable, out of the 10 that actually get released, probably only 1 or 2 will make the big bucks worth continuing support. I think Sony even knows that, look at all the other GaaS games that release and die shortly after. Personally I'm okay with that because I don't want the market dominated with these games.

I'd actually rather the resources go on to making some more top-tier JRPGs, I feel like we don't get enough of those in the last couple of gens.

neutralgamer1992390d ago

Final Fantasy

But keep in mind when those games fail many of the studios are shut and there are layoffs

NotoriousWhiz390d ago

I don't want a Gaas game. I just want a new socom. A strong multi-player title with no purchases beyond the initial purchase.

Yeah exactly what I was thinking

Not 1

__SteakDeck__391d ago

@-Foxtrot What do you have against live service games. I’m not a fan of live service games, but multiplayer games can be done right just look at Titanfall before EA killed it. As long as PS’s core studios keep making single player games, everything should be fine.

Redemption-64391d ago

Sony said they have 25 games in development. 10 being live service games, with the other mostly likely being single player games. They have more single player games in development

-Foxtrot391d ago

@__SteakDeck__

Urm....that they are a cancer in this industry

That the majority of them fail and the developers have then wasted years on them rather than other things.

They turn developers and publishers into thirsty little money grabbers where that big money is still not enough for them.

I could go on, defending GaaS games is not a hill to die on man, it's really not

"done right just look at Titanfall before EA killed it"

Titanfall 2 was not really a GaaS type of game compared to what we are getting now so that's a really bad example.

__SteakDeck__391d ago

@-Foxtrot Yeah it seems like you just have a hatred for multiplayer games. I’m not the biggest fan of multiplayer games, but like I said they can be done well. Also Titanfall 1 had no single player it was multiplayer only and it’s now a dead game, but it was still good. So yes that is a good example.

FinalFantasyFanatic390d ago

@_SteakDeck_,
I'm still salty about Titanfall 2, it was one of the only multi-player games I actually liked.

NotoriousWhiz390d ago

Multi-player games don't have to be Gaas games. Look at Mario Kart, Splatoon. Nintendo's games most likely don't have Gaas because they're behind the times, but this is one area where it's better to be behind the times.

blackblades390d ago

And? They still have single player games. Domination would completely ruled with live services which Sony should know to still do single player. On a side note they should also do a few 1st party smaller games like indie or AA. By the way is indie a single A game.

Philaroni390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

To be fair, so has many other companies aka Ubisoft for example and many of them they decided to end development on. Just because something is in the works does not mean it will release if they do not feel it will pan out. ATM all of the GaaS we know of from Sony are The Last of Us Factions, and some kind of Horizon (Monster Hunter like) game. Also keep in mind, they do own Bungie, and Destiny and there new project be it Destiny 3 and there new IP will likely be that. So just that on its own is near half of what we can best assume.

Main issue with GaaS now days is that its very over saturated. Keep in mind as well Battel Royal games are GaaS by nature also, hell CoD is GaaS. Halo Infinity, ditto. Really now days unless something is an honest to god single player game only the GaaS term gets over used.

Not sure if many played it (I loved it) Gun's Up was a GaaS for a long while, it was going to shut down till some youtubers gave it a bit of new life for another half of year. We know Sony Mobile is working on things and it not shock me if some of this stuff is targeted to the mobile market.

Right now Sony's biggest weakness I'd say is MP games. With that Firewalk studio from lots of vets they just acquired its quite likely there game will have GaaS stuff as part of it, that is still years down the line. I think everyone needs to chill out some and just wait and see what comes. We have not really got a real honest GaaS from Sony before this or even last gen really... At least as we know them now days. Such a broad term now.
