It's been one of the strongest starts to a year that we can remember, but PlayStation 4 is going from strength to strength. And asked on Twitter what Sony XDev Europe is up to aside from WipEout: Omega Collection and Matterfall, it had the following to say: "Lots of cool, still to be announced games. This year's going to be a good one."
Sony XDev Europe is obviously in charge first-party projects that are developed by teams outside of Worldwide Studios, so exactly what it's got in the pipeline is anyone's guess. We know that Murasaki Baby developer Ovosonico is working on a PS4 game, so that's likely one project in its portfolio. Arrowhead Games, the makers of Helldivers, may also be ready to show something new.
Whatever it's cooking, though, it's pretty clear at this point that Sony's new-gen system has not only hit its stride but is in a full-scale sprint right now. This generally tends to happen with PlayStation consoles a few years into their lifespan, and it's sure as hell happening again.

Do we know yet what Suckerpunch have been working on since Infamous? Of all the 'big' developers in Sony's camp, that's the main one we haven't heard from in a while. No doubt Sony will have 'smaller' studio's working on 'indie' exclusives too and they could have 3rd Part studio's working on a PS exclusive too. Unless some big studio's are working on more than one title, I think we know what most Studio's have in the pipeline.
I must say that quite a few appeal to me - Horizon, Days Gone, Spider-Man, Uncharted 4: Lost Legacy, Last of Us 2, Hellblade, Wild etc - some more than others of course - but it looks like Sony have more games of interest to me than they have in their back catalogue...
@BAMozzy Maybe Sly 5?!? I hope so!
parasite eve 4 exclusive for ps4
Any chance they could hold off announcing anything until it's almost due out please, Sony! Nothing worse than them telling us game X is due out...this time next year! Really?
Red Dead 2 is a prime example. I'd rather not know it's coming than know it is but not for 12 or more months!
@Tingle_The_Great Yes PLEASE be Sly 5!
@playstation1995
I'd love to see that series brought back. Was just thinking about it the other day when I saw the article abut a fan magazine that's doing a feature on great PS1 RPGs.
E.T. HD remaster q4, calling it right now
@Tingle_The_Great I would rather hope they bring out a new Infamous more than return to Sly - maybe its my age! I would like them to come up with something 'new' more than another Infamous - although if that isn't in a genre I like, I could end up wishing it was a new entry in that franchise.
@Tenacious-P Sony seem to like letting us know ~2yrs in advance of release - sometimes even longer on what they have planned. Most E3's of late have had games that are not due out before the 'next' E3 with 1-2 exceptions (not including the 3rd Party multi-platform releases they showcase). Last years E3 for example, I can only think of Horizon releasing before the next E3, the year before was Uncharted 4. Some games we saw from 2015 (and earlier) are still to surface - like Wild, Dreams, Detroit, Hellblade etc..
Seriously sony, just stop, my gaming time is limited, I can't play all the exclusives that I'm sure to buy
@playstation1995 Is there a parasite eve 3? I only remember 1 and 2. And yes they should make a new one, I'm okay if its not exclusive. They should remake the previous games, just add 4k texture and 60 fps like kingdom hearts remake.
When is silent hills coming out? Thats the one im waiting for i dont know who makes what but i just want more horror games. I wish someone would step up and make an open world PT. Also ive always wished for a darker grittier streetfighter style 2d fighter. With character designs based more on reality then crazy japanese manga.
Slow news day at the office guys
@Gmork___ Obviously Silent Hills is dead and buried(CensoredfromusingnaughtywordKonami), but maybe Keichiro Toyamama and his team could make a new Siren games or a spiritual successor.
I'm sure we must see Sucker Punch's next game this E3, we should hopefully see more of Dreams at some point. Also I would not mind if Japan Studio super secretly has another Ape Escape in development
@ThroughTheIris56 This is your second warning now please watch the language -Tasuki-
@wiiware There was a PSP game called Parasite Eve 3rd Birthday. It wasn't bad actually. I'm all for remastering the first two as well, but Squeenix would have to outsource it for sure. They have way too much on their plate as it is.
@wiiware @Gamer83 yes pap had parasite eve 3rd birthday.
@wiiware psp had parasite eve 3rd birthday.it was good
Stop! Stop! Xbox is already dead!
Awesome. Would be great news when they're announced!
(please be Sly 5)
This thumbnail is a dead meme.
@Constable_What Stop, it's already dead.
@ShogunRok If I knew how to post pictures I would post the Simpson's pic... I don't though.
Ok, I am listening. I am even considering getting Horizon at launch if reviews are good. Although it may drop price in 3 months.
I want resogun 2. That's all. Can't play twin stick shooters cos I can't aim diagonally for some strange reason! Left and right though? Yeah, I can handle that!
Man, I'd love to see a new installment in the Siren series. I know they've just wrapped up production on Gravity Rush 2, but it doesn't mean we won't get an announcement or sneak peek of it, if it gets put into production.
@RedMageLanakyn @playstation1995 Hmm, I vaguely remember it. The first one battle system is intriguing, its a mix of turn-based and real-time combat if I remember right.
@Enuo @ShogunRok We're way past "vs xbox", it's "have mercy on my wallet & time sony"
I have a coworker who is a X-box guy and he has been talking about getting a PS4 lately. He is getting tired of their lack of exclusives.
So happy!
syphon filter? A good twisted metal?
Is there any point in buying a Xbox One at this stage?
Put your money where your mouth is! If you have "lots of cool games" coming out, announce them!
