Naughty Dog and Rockstar Animator Joins Sony’s New Studio for An Unannounced Project

According to a publication by Quentin Cobb, creative who is part of the new studio, James Martinchek is the new signing for the AAA game that is in development, which is kept secret.

[Araragifeels]

I am hoping this is a new IP rather than the rumor of another Uncharted. Uncharted needs a break for now.

[chrisx]

most likely a new IP for the Ps5. the hype should be real 😎

[nucky64]

agreed - sony rarely (if ever) misses on their exclusives.

[Obscure_Observer]

He can´t talk about the new studio, game or even when he´ll be allowed to do so. PS5 related projects for sure. Maybe a new first party studio focused on next gen PSVR games?.

[NarutoFox]

I found out Sony has three new studios that hasn't been announce yet and my source is very reliable

[DarXyde]

Narutofox,

See, that's really interesting to me. I heard of one new studio from a source I trust myself.

I'll keep the details on that to myself, but I'm quite interested to know about the other 2.

I'm not asking you to specify, just letting you know that my curiosity had been piqued.

[bouzebbal]

Uncharted is a guaranteed multi million seller.. And is still kicking after 2 amazing PS4 episodes..

[cooperdnizzle]

I heard from a guy that knows a guy who robbed a guy that Sony have seven new rodeos. I trust this source very very much. But I’m gonna keep it under wraps

[StormSnooper]

I do hope Sony brings a flurry of awesome VR games to the PS5. I can just imagine the things they will do in VR next.

[UltraNova]

Lots of secrecy going around here about these alegded new studios.... Common dudes spill the beans, no need to divulge names!

[Ceaser9857361]

Narutofox and DarXyde

You mean apart from this new studio mentioned there are another 3 studios?? Wow!!! Hope Sony announces them soon.

Also this current studio mentioned above is working one a 3rd person adventure game.. They were hiring and this came up. and that's when people thought it could be an Uncharted game.

[Kribwalker]

i’ve got insider info it’s a port of The Witcher 2 for the ps5

[sampsonon]

another UC wouldn't require a new studio.

[Kitt92]

It would as naughty dog aren’t going to be doing another uncharted game their done with the ip for now

[thatguyhayat]

It would, they said they wont make another uncharted game. Im really hoping its a new IP

[Teflon02]

So why'd they make a new studio. Wouldn't it make more sense to give Uncharted tho Bend then (after they're done the current project)... Making a new studio to continue a series isn't a sony thing to do. So it's clearly not the case

[sampsonon]

Guys, Sony is going to let the franchise sleep for a while. it's for a new IP and I'm surprised people are thinking a new UC is worth creating a whole new studio to make it.
no, Sony is smarter than that.

[Obscure_Observer]

@sampsonon

"another UC wouldn't require a new studio."

Playstation gamers wants more Uncharted. I don´t think it´s easy to task another Sony studio to deliver a new Uncharted with the quality that most would expect.

[thatguyhayat]

Obscure_Observer

The way it ended i dont think so. Its time they let it sleep and bring in a fresh new block buster breaking IP

[Sevir]

Naughty_Dog did Lost Legacy with a fraction of it's staff and in literally a year! That same team could be fractured off into a new Studio to put out a new game in the series... But that's unlikely... We've heard for at least two years now that this studio is based in California and people from Santa Monica, Rockstar San Diego, ICE, Naughty Dog, and Sony San Diego formed this studio under Sony to create a Brand New IP... This kind of resource building is definitely for a new Studio to work on a New IP. Sony could pressure their teams to do churn out new games in established IPs, but they'd never create a new Studio to do it, they'd hand it off to other studios to do it...

Guerilla Cambridge, Did Killzone at one point, Bend did an Uncharted and a Resistance, Nihilistic did a Resistance, Blue Point, has done, Gravity Rush, Uncharted, Shadow of The Collosus and so many more.

Sony would rather hand off an existing IP to amother Developer instead of forcing their crown jewels into stagnation working on the same IP after that studio is burned out on it

[Rude-ro]

Hopefully a sequel to the order with improved and engaging gameplay.

[starchild]

I would be down for that. The Order 1886, despite its flaws, still had a lot to offer. The setting, story, visuals and sound design were great. The gameplay was solid, but could use a little more depth and variety. Plenty to build on there for a sequel.

[nyu1]

s

[rainslacker]

I'd rather that go to R@D. Since they don't have the engine to worry about as much anymore, they could likely be able to finish the project...which was about the only thing that really brought down the original IMO.

[Imalwaysright]

Sony owns many IPs that are far more deserving of a sequel than the order.

[sampsonon]

i didn't mind the game play so much as i think the game needs more and better boss fights.
i want another game as well, but i think it would be best if the same studio did it because they know the mistakes they made and would be best to fix them.
the game was good.

[neutralgamer1992]

Sony from what I understand have multiple studios that they have started without much of an fanfare

Instead of going the ms route they instead have focused on adding new teams within already owned studios

ND have 2 plus there is a new studio starting to only focus on uncharted and ND will overlook them(a complete reboot of sort)

GG recently moved into a much bigger facility and have multiple teams now

Sony bend has 2 teams

Santa Monica have multiple teams

We should hear more around reveal of Ps5

[AmUnRa]

This. Microsoft is screaming from the rooftop, "whe have new studio's!!!".
Sony dont make a mediacircus of it and opens a new studio😉

[rainslacker]

I'd like to see Sony give more big games to Japan Studio again. They work on a team structure now, not unlike Nintendo and how they deal with their big franchises. Japan Studio has been more mid-tier gaming and support this past gen, and a good chunk of last. They were part of making Bloodborne though, but Gravity Rush and Freedom Wars showed they can still make solid games. I'd just like to see them do it with a bigger scope.

It's a pretty big dev house, although not a specific studio.

@AmU

MS says, "look at all these new studios. See, we've really changed"(Like Sadaam in the south park movie....big dance number included).

Sony says, "Look at all these new games". Then stay quiet for a while, with the occasional interview, tweet, or new trailer thrown up out of nowhere. Remember when TLOU2 teaser was put out a month or so before E3, so as not to distract from other games at E3?

[Obscure_Observer]

@neutralgamer1992

"Sony from what I understand have multiple studios that they have started without much of an fanfare

Instead of going the ms route they instead have focused on adding new teams within already owned studios "

That´s old days. Since they wouldn´t talk about anything regarding this new studio (it´s a new STUDIO and NOT a new team), it´s clear that they´re trying to build hype and buzz around its announcement/reveal/project.

"ND have 2 plus there is a new studio starting to only focus on uncharted and ND will overlook them(a complete reboot of sort)"

Naughty Dog doesn´t have 2 teams. It´s only ONE team which they´ll split in case it´s necessary.

"GG recently moved into a much bigger facility and have multiple teams now

Sony bend has 2 teams

Santa Monica have multiple teams "

False. There´s no multiple teams working at multiple projects at those studios that you mentioned.

[neutralgamer1992]

Obsecure

What's new you just want to believe what you want to believe. ND actually have 2 seperate teams, one works on the current game while the other works on new ideas before going into pre production. Right now 85% of ND are hard at work on TLOU2 but there is a smaller team working in something new and once tlou2 is done they will move on to the next project

you just can't take any positive news from Sony. that's what it is. Just wait for the reveal event for PlayStation 5

It's called teams when you add more people within the same studio. Its only studios when you either acquire or start beans new teams

And I wasn't bad mouthing ms by saying they had more fanfare my point was since Sony already had many studios they could have kept quite abd simply deliver games

Jojo

Just wait and see man you don't expect me to reveal any sources I may or may not have you really can't be that naive

I stand by everything I said

Insomniac has been acquired
QD is in process

Blue point games are in talks with Sony too

You can keep hating I know for a damn fact what I am talking about. Here is another obsidian approached Sony before agreeing to deal with ms. Sony said no thanks

You can continue to believe whatever you want facts don't change

[NarutoFox]

Sony Bend second team is currently developing Syphon Filter

[UltraNova]

True but MS has to announce these aquisitions (loudly) since they have been criticised relentlessly for the lack of internal studios/IPs for so many years. Granted they need to take self gloating and hype down a notch or two but its what they needed to here and now to gain positive mindshare.

Now if their fans desperately want to... confuse studio aquisitions with actual released and successful games its a whole different story.

[WilliamSheridan]

I love Uncharted, but yes, definitely a break is needed. I couldn't get through all of the last one. Fatigue set in

[neomahi]

Nah, Uncharted is done. That's how Naughty Dog does, when they're done they're done and move on to something else. We're going to see one more The Last of Us for Part III and then they're on to Space, whatever that tour was about a year ago. Yup, next is Galactic something.

[81BX]

Lol wtf? So far you have 86 agrees. Maybe I'm in the minority but I loved every uncharted equally. I would welcome another one. Full disclosure I started the chloe one but I'm only an hr in and don't remember it, so if that one caused series fatigue I wouldn't know. I would love to see a Sulley adventure

[mafiahajeri]

New marvel game? Iron-man the Hulk?

[xenz]

I would like something more original thank you

[Rimeskeem]

Shazam? /s

[rainslacker]

While the timing is wrong, A captain marvel game might be good, since the movie is probably going to be popular.

[Obscure_Observer]

@rainslacker

Captain Marvel is a MARVEL only character nowdays. DC (Geoff Johns) ditched the "Marvel" name from all of its Marvel family characters.

Captain Marvel becomes Shazam and both Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr seems to be nowhere to be found in the current DCU.

[rainslacker]

Regardless, a Captain Marvel game might be good. How they title it doesn't matter. I'd imagine it'd be in line with however the marvel comic or movie universe follows the character. Or maybe they'll make it a marvel game universe, which opens up the doors for cross promotion between DC and marvel.

[mkis007]

Just so everyone is clear: Captain Marvel is the name of a DC character and a Marvel character with obviously no relation. Marvel studios claim is the one the courts recognize meaning DC is just Shazam.

This is the short version.

[OffRoadKing]

An Iron Man game done with the same level of detail and quality as Insomniac's Spider-Man would be fantastic.

[IRetrouk]

I'd forgot all about this studio, was rumoured last year if I remember right, wonder why they won't even announce the name, hopefully it's something new and fresh.

[I_am_Batman]

With MS investing a lot in new first party studios lately I think that Sony wants to make their fanbase know that they aren't resting on their laurels. I'm sure the'll announce it at some event this year.

[IRetrouk]

Yeah, maybe it's a next gen project and thats why it's so secretive, something to look forward to anyway, no doubt the ice team will be involved somehow.

[UltraNova]

Do you know how many studios Sony has?

What I always wanted from Sony is to take their ICE Team and turn them into a super studio comprised of their top devs from all studios, then give them one directive: Make a game that has never been seen with the sole aim of dropping the worlds collective jaws to the ground.

[I_am_Batman]

@UltraNova: Yeah I think they have 15 active studios right now, 12 of which are working on Playstation games. But they've also lost 2 studios in Guerrilla Cambridge and Evolution recently. It takes a long time to develop games nowadays. While the studios they have will continue to pump out quality exclusive games they just can't have the same quantitative output they used to have. I think it makes a lot of sense to keep investing in the first party structure to ensure that there are always some great games to look forward to.

[jznrpg]

This is a lot more exciting than buying a few financially challenged studios who have been relegated to making mid tier games for a long time (besides Forza dev who only made Xbox games anyway) That is 2 upper talent names with a new studio . Xbox just wants to pump out smaller games to for their Netflix of gaming to get more subs

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

LOL. Sony has way more and more accomplished studios, they don't need to do anything, MS is playing catch up. Also buying studios does not automatically mean success...look at EA and MS history. You need to properly manage those studio.

[I_am_Batman]

@JesusBuiltmyHotrod: "Sony has way more and more accomplished studios"
Yeah. I don't see why you felt the need to point that out. I wasn't challenging that at all. It's absolutely obvious to anyone paying attention that Sony is far ahead of MS when it comes to both quality and quantity of 1st party titles.

"they don't need to do anything, MS is playing catch up. "
And what do you think will happen in the long run when MS will continue to "play catch up" and Sony doesn't "do anything". I'm glad that the executives at Sony are holding their company to a higher standard than some of their fans do. Getting complacent and underestimating the competition would be 2 easy ways to lose the lead they've aquired.

[Teflon02]

jznrpg
I'm glad someone is saying this. That's how I felt. I don't look at it as anything amazing MS is doing. Out of the studios they've bought Playground is the only one I'd say is a great buy for them. The others were studios struggling to stay afloat. I think a company taking the time to build new and dedicated studios for projects is alot more exciting and promising as opposed to just being financially weak companies. Now don;t get me wrong it's fine and dandy. But I personally don't like 3rd party companies going first party without a connection to the company. Like Playground that was essentially 2nd? party and I thought until last year was first party lol. Or Naughty Dog. Hell Insomniac and Sony if that ever happens or the Xeno devs and Ninty did I believe etc

[rainslacker]

Because if they do it now, it will come across as "me too", in response to MS. Even though this is kind of normal operation for Sony. They'll make an announcement, maybe coupled with a teaser. A full game reveal might be down the line though, since they seem to be in the early stages of hiring key people now.

[Obscure_Observer]

@rainslacker

"Because if they do it now, it will come across as "me too", in response to MS."

Because that´s exacly what it is! Otherwise they would remain SILENT instead of hit the twitter to announce that they´re building a whole new studio hiring great talent, yet, can´t talk about it. This move has a clear intention and you know what it is: Build HYPE among Playstation gamers!

This is just Sony way saying that they aren´t resting on their laurels while Microsoft is on an agressive hiring and acquisition spree.

[rainslacker]

I love it when you prove my point, especially when you don't even realize it. Even more when you think you've one upped me with baseless assumptions that go against Sony's own normal method of operations.

Case in point. You said,

"Because that´s exacly what it is! "

What more do I need to say?

Everything else you said is assumptive, and really doesn't match up to historical trends from Sony itself. A tweet about opening a new studio, and some job postings, which is what the tweet was for really, is not a huge marketing push to try and counter MS efforts to get up to par with Sony, which MS hasn't done, regardless of if Sony opened this new studio or not.

[mkis007]

Last gen sony picked up Media Molecule and Sucker punch just off the top of my head. I think they are about to pick up at least 2 more to fill in some open space.

[Obscure_Observer]

@rainslacker

"Everything else you said is assumptive, and really doesn't match up to historical trends from Sony itself."

What? Are you working for Sony now? What do you mean by "historical trends from Sony itself"? :/

You know what? Forget it. I´m too tired for childish imaginary "insider" fantasy nonsence.

[TheGamez100]

New studio and sony in a single sentence??!!!! Hype!!!!

[Smokehouse]

Uuhhh whaaaa? When did Sony announce a new studio?

[AspiringProGenji]

They have never announced this studio. Last year there was a rumor that sony has built a new studio to work on more Uncharted games

[sampsonon]

I highly doubt they would make a whole new studio just to make another UC game. remember what Naughty Dog said when UC4 was released "this is the last UC game" and yes know they had the stand alone game that came out after but that was basically done at the same time.

[nyu1]

Hope not.

That series will get very tiresome if they pump out more games, unless they change things up drastically for a next gen version.

[Obscure_Observer]

@sampsonon

"I highly doubt they would make a whole new studio just to make another UC game."

Why not? That´s exactly what Microsoft did with 343i (Halo) and The Coalition (Gears of War).

Also, both Cobb and Martinchek are experienced Uncharted veterans. Microsoft made sure to hire people from both Bungie and Epic original staff to create 343i and The Coalition.

[OffRoadKing]

"to work on more Uncharted games"

This is clever trolling.

[StormSnooper]

Sony doesn’t really “announce” this type of thing, they just make games, and when it’s about to release, that’s when most people will hear about the studio’s existence.

[Smokehouse]

It’s been so long I don’t remember lol

[Ausbo]

Is this a new studio or a new naughty dog team? Regardless, this is good news

[BenRoxio]

This is a new studio

[Ausbo]

Interesting. Another So Cal dev. That area is a filled with talent.

[ShadowWolf712]

@Ausbo It's less that the area is filled with talent and more ease of access to certain resources and incentives to stay there. Much of the talent actually travels from all over to come work there.

[S2Killinit]

Silicon valley is there. Its the capital of everything electronic.

[4kgk76]

after this new studio Sony doesn’t really need anymore studios at least not right now. I think Sony should start building up some of their studios they already own like Sony bend and sucker punch I like for both of those studios to become two team studios like Naughty dog.

[rainslacker]

If more studios means more games, I'm fine with it. Sony shouldn't over extend itself, but they should make or buy the studios that allow them to proceed the way they want. Business grow, and Sony is growing this gen, and hopefully continue to do so.

[MrSec84]

That's what they have been doing, ND have expanded a lot this generation, Guerrilla recently filled out their ranks with a load of Devs from the team that made Rainbow Six Siege.

Bend were recently said to be creating a second team for another new project.
Overall you their studios have been growing throughout the generation, with them forming this new Studio, one in Manchester and building Pixel Opus from completely new talented young game Devs.

Sony just doesn't feel the need to shout about it until they have something to show off.

[sampsonon]

The Project Code Name: Another F-in Amazing Game.
How about a new epic MP game? A studio built just for that would be amazing especially if they have a great narrative for the game.

[shinoff2183]

We dont need any more multiplayer games. Theres plenty out there. Id rather Sony stick with single player games.

[sampsonon]

i understand what you're saying but it would be smart business wise for sony to make their own MP game and put real money and time nto it so they can not only be king of the single player genre but also the MP one as well.
how many studios do they have? what like 20? and all make single player games. make a great mp exclusives to bring in pc gamers and xbox gamers to PS.

[ShadowWolf712]

>Multiplayer game
>Great narrative

Pick one.

[sampsonon]

A multiplayer game can't have a great narrative?

[ShadowWolf712]

Typically? No. They almost never do.

They can have a great and expansive lore section but in terms of a narrative? nah.

[Elda]

Developers hop around to other studios when they finish a project at another studio,not a big thing. Hopefully they're working on something amazing!!

[Relientk77]

Awesome, excited to see what this studio comes up with.

[Legatus]

More first party studios and more exclusives is always a good thing. Keep up the awesome work Sony, can't wait to hear about this new game.

[chris235]

thanks for this zero-info blogpost. basically you are saying „there is a new game in development“. what‘s next? an article about the sun rising again tomorrow? geez.

[stormhawk]

Apparently it is big news and a reason for celebration when anyone joins a Microsoft studio.

[Elda]

Agreed! Hypocrisy sometimes runs rampant on N4G.

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

US media is awful, and MS over hypes everything, it's how they operate.

[S2Killinit]

They do overhype but its not U.S. media’s fault. Its a free media, but MS believes paying for PR campaigns is a worthwhile method of conducting business.

[DerekTweed]

That news also got heavily criticised here for not being news.

[boing1]

Janitor from Blizzard joins The Initiative for an unannounced project. "It'll be clean" he said in an interview.

[rainslacker]

The janitor is often the most under-appreciated member of the dev team. Also the best source to know what's going on within a studio. Back in the NES days, the janitor knew everything, and inexplicably, Nintendo either had a lot of Janitors, or everyone was related to one or two Japanese men who made cleanliness their profession.

[darthv72]

They are the eyes and ears of the institution...

(breakfast club reference)

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

If this were MS, there would be dozens of articles and Spencer doing ten interviews on a new studio, then a sea of xbox fans saying based Spencer, tide is turning...Big difference in Ms and Sony. MS talks too much and under delivers. Better to stay humble and deliver then over promise like MS.

[Team_Litt]

Lol what's there to talk about? It's an unannounced studio. I bet you all the money in the world that you'll be one of the people doing cartwheels when Sony inevitably announces and makes a big deal about the studio and there are tons of articles about it.

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

You are a mess.....Not even relevant to what anyone said, and Yes MS over hypes everything. This is not an Un-Announced studio lol...it was opened over a year ago....difference is MS is deperate and needs to try and generate hype...Sony already has far better studios, so expansion of mainly existing studios is mainly enough. This new studio is welcome though. SM runs to the US press over every little thing, PS now adds downloads, and has hundreds more games, and is now launching in more countries, and generates far more revenue...yet the US press acts like it doesn;t exist. It's no different than them rushing to Defend MS DRM nonsense in 2013...It was all US media doing this.

Probably wants a job there.

[rainslacker]

Of course they will. because Sony has delivered time and time again, and a new AAA studio from them would be reason for rejoicing. MS buying studios is them doing what they should have been doing, but they have no track record of delivery, and most of the studios they buy aren't known for big AAA games.

But Sony making a new studio isn't going to get hundreds of articles about how Sony is now going to dominate the future because they did so. It will get some attention among the community, because the fan boys on the other side made it such a big deal to begin with.

But new studios means the industry is growing, and something new is coming, so what's not to be excited about?

[trooper_]

That’s not even remotely the point.

[Team_Litt]

Except it is an unannounced studio. They may have opened it a year and a half ago but it's still not announced is it? Perhaps we should be getting you to understand the meaning of words before allowing you to spout out nonsense.

[trooper_]

So true, lmao.

[S2Killinit]

Wait, Sony is creating new studios?

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

Yes and expanding their current ones...but because they don't scream and hype everything like MS the press ignores it lol.

[Baza]

Wait what is this. Sony’s studio recruiting talent instead of MS?

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

Sony has been doing this all gen, SSM is hiring again as well. Difference is MS tries to over hype everything, and the US media thinks if they don't know all of Sony's plans they are doing nothing. Ignorance at it's best,

[Team_Litt]

Oh really? All gen you say? What new studio did Sony start this gen without making a big fuss about it? I'll wait. Also I remember vividly when Guerilla Games were expanding and it was made a big deal about.

Get out of here with your selective memory BS.

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

@team_litt....a quick google search shows the number of expansions and new hires for Sony studios, they ghave also opened up two new studios this gen...Again Sony is in a far better position, has more and better studios, so they don't need to expand as much as MS...I think your fanboy brain forgets MS is behind not sony. Thi article alone is news about a new studio, lol.

SSM is literally hiring now, an ad was posted on Facebook and Linkedin, Bend was hiring, as was ND, Guerilla, plus Sony opened two new studios...But it's MS making Moves right? LOL.

[nyu1]

@JesusBuiltmyHotrod

Lol dude, lots of studios are hiring. Why are you including that.

Your point is still stupid to begin with. MS was in a position where their lack of first party studios was the elephant in the room compared to the competition. Ofcourse they had to make a big deal about it. It's not 'overhyping'. It's exactly what they had to do given the situation. It also makes sense that the media focuses on it, because MS have been losing so far, and acquisition of first party talent are a chance to turn things around.
It's not quite the same if Sony's doing it, because they're already in that position.

[ShadowWolf712]

@Team_Litt

Guerrilla expanding was made a big deal because it wasn't expanding so much as absorbing Guerrilla Cambridge, which people tried to make a big deal about closing.

[Team_Litt]

What are these 2 new studios? Are you talking about the VR studio? Lol come on guy. And didn't Sony announce that studio?? Nobody made a big deal about it because it focuses on making games for less than 5% of the total gaming population.

Do you not see the irony in saying MS and the media make a big deal about buying studios (like 7 new studios in as many months isn't worth talking about) in a comment section for a tweet about one person joining a yet to be announced Sony game?

[Legatus]

Team_Litt

"What new studio did Sony start this gen without making a big fuss about it? I'll wait."

Your wait is over, Sony created PixelOpus studio in 2014. but Sony's new studio didn't have even 5% of news as any new MS studio.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

[BlaqMagiq1]

Another studio being created? Had no idea. Hope whatever game they make will be a great one.

[AizenSosuke]

This going to be awesome

[C-H-E-F]

Speaking of collabs, doesn't rockstar still owe Sony an PSE? (Agent)

[mkis007]

The last we know officially ya.

[Melankolis]

Sony to create new IPs isn't surprising. It's a business as usual.

[Dizzy11523]

For another overrated single player game that takes itself way to serious. Like Detroit or whatever that crap called.

[rainslacker]

Sounds good to me. I say bring it on.

[Atticus_finch]

Nin and green boys would throw parades if they received amazing games like that. ..

[trooper_]

You sound angry.

Need to hug it out?

[DafunkyRebel]

I need to know so badly

[Skankinruby]

Results of a company whose passionate about their product and isn't satisfied with just writing out checks to buy allegiances. So stoked to see what they got going on.

[Xaevi]

If it is a new Uncharted game I hope it's with Cassie

[StormSnooper]

You can bet it’s going to be special.

[Majin-vegeta]

[Einhander1971]

Greatness awaits:)

[OpenGL]

I like Uncharted but am worried by the prospect of the franchise being picked up and continued by another studio.

[nishanth123]

I don't mind Uncharted tbh.

[SixFragz]

Sounds like a next gen title...

This is your chance to make the right decision Xbone owners. Don't fuq it up.

[SaveFerris]

Looking forward to seeing what comes out from this studio in the next few years for the PS5.

[neomahi]

Sony counters The Initiative with another studio. Gotta say, this is much more exciting and appealing then the big three buying exclusives. Develop teams and let their creativity really flow letting them focus on creating rather than porting and tweaking. It's still unfair as Sony has the edge as their Producers are top notch while Microsofts are oppressive bung holes. Sony has a lot more experience and it shows. Still, I think this is much more exciting then timed exclusives, DLC, and all that bull Microsoft introduced during the 360 era where they had nothing and the only way to compete was to dig deep into their pockets and buy out their competition where the competition spent years, pretty much decades cultivating relationships and Microsoft rolls in with their money and in a jerk move just buys them out. Yeah, this is much more entertaining. March on.

[ocelot07]

Brand new studio? Very interesting.

[MikeNike310]

Somehow the headline actually gave me chills.

[OG_TK_Cole]

Im pretty sure this will be for a new IP.

[UnholyLight]

Unannounced projects or new IP's have piqued my interest.

[Smokehouse]

Would be sick if it’s the people from visceral. Visceral would compliment the naughty dog style so well. I think dead space 1 is better than TLOU gameplay wise. Naughty dog has the writing on lock, visceral had the gameplay imo.

[S2Killinit]

Hyped

[OffRoadKing]

Based on the comment section this news unsurprisingly seems to have some people very upset, but this is great news for Sony. Congrats to him and to Sony on the hire this is big and means more award winning exclusives that can only be played on Playstation.
