I expect them to develop even more studios before next generation

CaptainOmega2002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

There is a ‘secret’ studio wokring on what is potentially the next Uncharted game. Besides that there isn’t much news for ‘new’ studios, nor is there an expectation that new ones are being made.

NarutoFox2002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

After the success of Spider-man I wouldn't be surprised if they acquire Insomniac games down the road.

"I expect them to develop even more studios before next generation”
"After the success of Spider-man I wouldn't be surprised if they acquire Insomniac games down the road.”

Most conversations revolving this type of aquisition deals with IP ownership. Insomniac has been vocal that they want to own their IP’s and they want to remain independent. Idk if you can purchase a development studio while at the same type let them ‘keep’ their IP’s. They’ve had a healthy partnership with Sony for 30 years. Why spend millions of dollars on a company to solidfy exclusivity when the studio has no problems making exclusive games? It doesn’t make financial sense.

It makes more sense for Sony to purchase Quantic Dream.

NarutoFox2002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

@BeardedDrachen

They should have been purchase Quantic Dreams. That's long overdue

neutralgamer19922002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

Bearded

Wait till February-March 2019

Insomniac is already in they tried Ea and MS and own the IP's yet it got them no where. They come right back and ratchet became the best selling game in company's long history now being surpassed by Spiderman

Insomniac were given work on Spiderman for a very clear reason. Insomniac felt like Sony didn't treat their games right by not advertising due to them being not under world wide studios. That all changed with Shawn laydon had an very honest conversation.

Sony santa Monica studios have added another team so now they have total of 3

Nd have 2 teams and the new studio which was started to world on uncharted will be led by ND

Sony bend recently added another team so they have 2

Guerrilla games recently added another so they have 2

Sucker punch are in process of having a 2nd team

Sony could have bought any studio ms acquired. They instead felt like we can add more teams within our studios to keep the world wide culture of quality over quantity

Wait till reveal of Ps5 in early 2019 and Sony has major plans around E3(latest being they could have the PSX in New York city around June or July)

Ps5 will be coming out in 2nd week of November for $449. 11-12 TF with 16GB GDDR5 ram and recently it was decided that system will have separate ram do that whole 16GB will be available to developers

Ps4 controllers will work with Ps5 out of the box

As of right now there are more than 24 Sony world wide teams working on Ps5 titles

All ps4 games will work on Ps5 right out of the box with major graphical and performance improvements

Ps1-2 games will work on Ps5 by early to mid 2020

Ps3 is still giving Sony major issues so at launch might be difficult. There was talk of having the cell processor inside the Ps5 only to run ps3 games. Cell processor 2.0 which will make all ps3 games run and play better

FYI

Bloodborne 2 at launch with Ps5. Sony Japan is working on it

Bloodborne 2
Ghost
The last of us 2

All will launch with Ps5 with death stranding coming March of 2020

Shenmue 3 will be delayed to launch alongside ps5

Latest is days gone might be delayed indefinitely to launch in 2020 on Ps5. For what they are trying to do ps4 isn't letting them do it

Biggest game to have rebooted and benefited so much is dreams it's no longer a ps4 game. Trust me when people see dreams during gameplay demo reveal Jaws will be dropped below the floor. It will put MM on the AAA map

Sony and Kojima have a 3 game deal and don't be surprised if death stranding doesn't get a sequel. He is thinking about doing 3 new IP's while Sony has given him the freedom to pick any of their IP's he wants to work on. Death stranding on ps4 will look inferior to Ps5 because it was never intended as a ps4 title. If delayed it may not even come to ps4

Siren is something he is looking into

Please font believe anything I am saying soon Ps5 reveal invitations will start going out to gaming media. Event will be held in New York

Mark cerny is once again leading the charge and he has been going around asking for developers feedback. Ps5 dev kits been with big publishers for a while now

Don't worry knack 3 isn't happening

NarutoFox2002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

@neutralgamer1992

"Sony bend recently added another team so they have 2"

I guess I can still hope for a new Syphon Filter

"Ps5 will be coming out in 2nd week of November for $449. 11-12 TF with 16GB GDDR5 ram and recently it was decided that system will have separate ram do that whole 16GB will be available to developers"

I don't think the PS5 will have GDDR5 when GDDR6 is out now.

Sevir2002d ago

Honestly I think think the next Acquisition will be Quantic... They've had a pretty great relationship, their games have all sold well and David Cage has expressed wanting to be first party. I have a feeling they'll announce something closer to PS5 release

UltraNova2001d ago

Oh really ? Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part 2 and Days Gone are mature games. More importantly, you should ask why Japan censoring realistic violence video game of Western game ? Japan Game is no innocent. Imagine if Nintendo made a dark, gritty and realistic violence video game for the first time ? Japan Game would censored violence part.

Gazondaily2002d ago

Interesting that Sony does that now. Clearly Sony is feeling the heat that it feels it needs to get the message out.

Still, Sony can be relaxed as well because of the pedigree of its studios and it's position in the industry. But things are hotting up, albeit more for next gen.

gangsta_red2002d ago

Definitely somewhat suspicious as it comes at a time when a lot of focus and chatter is on MS buying studios

Also with Sony being stationed in Cali this could also mean they're going to start focusing on hiring even more talent or expanding their studios even further in preparation for the next gen.

Interesting times sir.

subtenko2002d ago

You have no idea whats going on. I'll tell you, its big what Sony is doing. You'll see.

“Feeling the heat” 😂😂
Let’s wait for an actual product. Not many buy into words anymore septic.... after 8 years of not delivering, only a select few still cling on to anything Xbox related.
And they seem like they get paid to do so

Razzer2002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

Uh....it is a recruiting video. Why is the timing of a video highlighting gaming careers at Sony signify any sort of "heat". You are putting too much into something that is really very common and benign.

Sony does stuff like this all the time.

Funny thing is if the roles were reversed he'd be poking fun at how sony fans are crying "conspiracy" lmao

You green boys try to blow up Xbox at any chance hahaha.
"Feeling the heat" Dead bodies don't generate heat. This Generation is over, Sony won and is full steam ahead to the next gen.
Xbox acquiring studios just now shows how many years behind Sony they are.

gangsta_red2002d ago

"Xbox acquiring studios just now shows how many years behind Sony they are."

Actually it shows just how serious they are with providing content for Game Pass. They're going to need an abundance of studios if they want to make GP a success with content.

Atticus_finch2002d ago

@Gangsta You guys are way too excited over a subscription service from a company that has a horrible history.
You're statement almost got it right
"They're going to need an abundance of studios if they want to make a"......GAMING CONSOLE.

gangsta_red2002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

Way too excited? Sure, I guess, a subscription service that's going to have a lot of games on their GAMING CONSOLE

I'm also thinking Sony will expand with more games for their subscription service on their GAMING CONSOLE and make it more attractive to us gamers also.

You seem to be more excited than I am seeing the all caps, going to some good times next gen.

NarutoFox2002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

I really expect Miccrosoft game pass and Sony subscription service to go up in price next gen. I could be wrong but its just a feeling and my opinion.

"Sony is feeling the heat"

The heat ?! What heat, Sony was always championing their first party studios, like in this video:
https://youtu.be/C5PECdR7wY...
Where was the heat for making that video?

LOL you just got to love salty green boys.

rainslacker2002d ago

LOL. MS won't stop talking about how great they're doing and how they're making/buying all these studios, and Sony is somehow feeling the heat after 5 years to remind people they did all this stuff quietly years ago, and don't have to react to MS because they are already delivering with their studios?

Seems like a legit logical argument.

Sony still has more studios than MS, many of which have more than one dev team. They also have publishing houses with their own dev teams. MS still has a long way to go to match Sony on sheer numbers, and certainly on actual delivery.

Guess the next time MS says something about their studios, we can now say they're feeling the heat from Sony after this video since Sony is now out to show its better than MS.....because apparently, by your logic, everything needs to be a reaction to something else.

MS may be talking a lot about studios, but its still Sony who is delivering right now. All MS has is all they had for the past three....and that's a bunch of talk and promises of a greater future.

Razzer2002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

The video has nothing to do with anything other than advertising why game devs should work for Sony. That is it.

Microsoft buying studios was a direct result of getting their assess handed to them for the last five years. Thank Sony, Xbox fans.

rainslacker2002d ago

I know. But look at the comment I was responding to.

I'm just pointing out the logical fallacy in their argument, and saying how they like to try and malign Sony over one video compared to hundreds of statements from MS over the years, and for some they're nothing but optimistic about a bunch of talk from that side of the fence.

UCForce2002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

You and @Gangsta_red @kribwalker @thecolberinator are getting too much exciting about MS future. Don’t get too overconfident. Because like I said, I do not like MS approach especially they are start acting like Disney. They are buying more studios than building their own and that’s a problem. MS is actually playing gambling. It’s like their MS motive about winning and losing.

Kribwalker2002d ago

You do realize that the majority of sony first party studios were purchased independent studios......MS Currently has 12 studios.

Turn 10
343
Coalition
Initiative

are all made by MS

Playground Games may as well have been as they were founded in 2010 and have only made games for MS.

Even your precious Naughty dog was a bought studio, so you can’t find sony all high and mighty, as they do the same thing. They both have bought and closed studios

UCForce2002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

@Kribwalker @Septic But did you know that I did said these comments before you two made the statement, right ? I know Sony bought these studio before but they want to build their relationship from scratch, not just base on studio reputation. And yes, I know Sony closed some studios in the past, but they are also building their own as well. I know MS made their own, but not a lot like Sony did. You two know MS flaws, but you two always forget and let the arrogance jump on you again. I don’t because I know Sony isn’t perfect. I know their mistakes in the past, the present and Sony will make mistakes again in the future because I know them well and i’m not let my arrogance jump on me again. You two know MS mistakes from the past and the present, but not the future. What happen if MS made mistakes again in the future ? Would you two feel let down or just ignore it ?

Playground Game only studio that I give a credit to MS the most, but other studios who made We Happy Few and State Of Decay 2 which are two mediocre games and it’s questionable choice why MS bought them. The reason I don’t like MS buy too many studios because they think bigger is better which can be work if it’s done properly. You have to start slow and steady, not rushing it.

Sevir2002d ago

@KribWalker.

And London Studio, Japan Studio, Bend Studio, Santa Monica, San Diego, Studio Liverpool, And PixelOpus are all curated and built within Sony...

That's 7 that was never purchased and started internally, what's your point?

As it stands, Theyve been doing this longer than MS. They've got 13 studios total through internal startups and acquisitions... They had more which they've shuttered over the years.

UCForce2002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

You see, kribwalker and Septic ? These people below have more valid points than you two. Like I said, don’t let your arrogance take over you. Otherwise, MS and Nintendo will face same problem like Sony was. That’s all I have to say.

Edit : I don’t know what Sony future hold ? It could be good or bad, but one thing for sure, Sony isn’t backing down that easily.

Kribwalker2001d ago

@sevir

My point is that UCforce, amongst others, is demonizing MS for purchasing studios and not building them all. Every company has bought studios. But MS has also built in house studios as well.
People say MS should get more first party studios to make games, because apparently exclusive games are the only ones that matter , and they do, they create one new one and buy 6 other studios (2 of which we’re making games only for MS anyways) and now people are pissed. Well you know what, prepare to get angrier because everything i’ve been hearing is they aren’t close to being done.

They've been doing recruit videos for ages well before MS ever thought about acquire any more studios.

Thundercat772002d ago

Wow... You are so out of touch with reality.

Sevir2002d ago

Lol... There is no heat that Sony is feeling, considering that they weren't the ones with a dry spell of quality releases.

It'd be easy to see MS snapping up studios and then looking at Sony. But the reality, Sony's studios have expanded to two team studios. They've had quality releases year in year out since the PS3 launched. And their games have all sold remarkablely well.

MS was the one who had to get studios to diversify their bland halo, gears forza triad releases. Especially after countless first party games from them got cancelled.

Simply put. Sony is Hiring. They don't need more studios, they're diversifying by growing the quality of their developers under the WWS umbrella and that's clear as day.

Nothing about Japan Studio?

gangsta_red2002d ago

Sony seems to be focusing mainly on the western market since a lot of the sales dominate there. This is probably why they stopped making JRPG's of their own, moved their HQ to sunny California and are making a push to censor a lot of the more Japanese centric games as of late.

UCForce2002d ago (Edited 2002d ago )

What about Death Stranding ? And the successful of Astro Bot Recuse Mission which is Japanese game ? And Ghost of Tsushima ? Even I know Ghost Of Tsushima is make by western game studio, but it’s still count because its set in Japan.

gangsta_red2002d ago

Death Stranding is not being made by a Sony 1st party studio. And even then stars well known western Hollywood names.

Astrobot was made with a general audience appeal, nothing about it is Japanese centric.

No, Ghosts does not count. Made by a western studio who just set their game in Japan, that's it.

UCForce2002d ago

But here the thing, Death Stranding is using Sony First Party Engine and working with GG. Astro Bot Recuse Mission made by Japan Studio. Sucker Punch take Japan culture and history seriously with Ghost Of Studio and it’s count.

CDPR say Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3: "We don't want to be stuck in the same spot"

The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.

Each of the 3 existing Witcher games is pretty different from each other..

Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.

[Exclusive] Xbox Reaches Agreement With Batman: Arkham Trilogy Creators For A New AAA Game

Ex-Rocksteady directors' Hundred Star is collaborating with Xbox Game Studios Publishing for its first-ever AAA game.

Lightning7710h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Highly doubt it'll be an actual Batman game that IP belongs to WB Games along with other DC property.

They're making an action adventure game. IMO I think it needs to be another Marvel game despite MS already have Blade as that action Marvel game. Dead Pool? Punisher?

Realistically it'll probably be a new IP entirely.

The_Hooligan8h ago

I agree with you. I think I'll be a brand new IP. Now it could be a superhero themed, kind of like infamous. Speaking of which, Suckerpunch needs to make one after Ghost 2.

neutralgamer19928h ago

would love a infamous collection for ps5/pc

Lightning777h ago

I definitely think it'll be super hero themed game 100%. Something MS needs in their portfolio.

ThinkThink5h ago

Please, no more super hero games.

PhillyDonJawn5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Dead Pool or Punisher would be amazing!!!
Don't tease me like that man lol. I see them making a new IP that's like an arkham knight clone

Dirty_Lemons1h ago

I loved the old Punisher game back in the day. Those executions never got old.

porkChop44m ago

I don't think it needs to be Marvel. It needs to be a totally new IP. That's what Rocksteady should have done after Arkham City. They've pigeonholed themselves as DC devs.

MIDGETonSTILTS178h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I hope these devs needed support to start/finish (like Stalker 2), vs are basically done with the game but wanted to secure an exclusivity-bonus because they know Xbox needs a system seller (like Titanfall).

It’s a bit strange that they’d rather invest in this game than Tangoworks’ TWO canceled projects; or just trust a single dev from their existing massive stable of talent to emerge with a system-seller themselves anytime soon.

Either way, it is just cool that we’ll likely get a new IP from the geniuses behind the Arkham Trilogy. I wonder how creative they’ll get now that they aren’t married to an established franchise.

darthv728h ago

This is about the former co-founders of Rocksteady and their new studio. So naturally it makes people think its Batman related with the way its worded, even though its not.

-Foxtrot8h ago

Exclusive? Sure

This year alone Microsoft has changed their plans so much with Xbox regarding multiplatform releases as they step closer to just being a full blown third party publisher and it's only been 4-5 months, imagine where we'll be once this game is finished. It will be a completely different landscape.

ThinkThink5h ago

I don't think MS will ever go completely full 3rd party with all of their games. I can see them looking towards expanding their own mobile store and moving into Mac as ways of expanding. I'm sure ms will bring more exclusives over to ps and nintendo, but I don't think it'll be as many games as you think it will. I hope I'm wrong.

Lightning775h ago

The ever contradictions thoughts and actions of MS definitely says otherwise MS changed up so much on the past 6 months of the year I lost count.

Though I'm more declined to believe they also won't go full 3rd party also.

But.

This year they're having Renaissance a super bowl of gaming with Gamepass this year. BO6, older ABK games, Avowed, Indy and other 3rd party exclusives all to grow and expand gamepass. If these games don't grow the service or grow only a little bit. Then you can fully expect MS to hit the red button and put everything everywhere. Satya will have full Xbox take over doing what he wants from that point on next year.

It's up to Xbox to advertise these games and gamepass in the next 6 months or so get the word out.

Profchaos4h ago

The more the news evolves the more I'm inclined to believe we will see MS embrace full third party status but not call it third party in their word soup ways.

It will be Xbox everywhere plays best on a Xbox.

Next gen Xbox is rumoured to be a reference design similar to the 3d0 where any company can make and sell it.

If you're offloading hardware costs to a third party yet still profiting from the games then you've cut out losses on the hardware you still have a store front that users can use and still make a 30 percent cut on that.

Your games sell for a profit on PS and Nintendo platforms and on Xbox reference hardware along with PC

You lose .kney on DLC and games sold on a competitor storefront they are seemingly already comfortable with this.

The ms bean counters are coming for the ROI that was promised they don't care if they kill the brand as it stands Xbox was never a profitable business it was always just done for reputation

PhillyDonJawn4h ago

@Lightning the would end the console then. No one would buy Xbox over PS at that point cause now you get both with just a PS. If GP flop for them, Logically, rolling back on GP would be the smarter than to do. No more day 1 title. Less quality titles. They'd lose subs but people would go back to buying the games.

Lightning772h ago

@Philly They could scale back gamepass put Indies only, AAA 1st party games coming 4 to 6 months from release. The thing is MS will have to tell their fans to buy their games again and that's gonna take years and years to condition them to buy games again. MS will lose money from that also. They'll lose out on gamepass revenue, lose out on games sales because their fans don't buy as many games anymore.

I can't see them scaling back or axing gamepass it does make them allot of money, they just want more money from it. They're not gonna condition their fans to start buying games either.

As I said they'll go full 3rd party and yes you ate right, if they do that then there would be no reason to buy the next Xbox. I know j won't be, you better hope the next 6 months they advertise the games and GP there little hearts out because this could be it.

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.

-Foxtrot1d 15h ago

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.
