Very excited to see what they will do with Spider-Man 2. Commendable that they keep updating and improving their released games, but I guess it is a testing ground for what will come next for them.
P.S. Sunset Overdrive Remastered if you can, please!
Seriously though, being self employed, I am multiple jobs in one, including promotion. So yes, Sony's "demands" don't seem too much as you should be doing all that anyway. Write a blog and make platform specific trailers because you need to. Sony isn't going to do all that for you, even if they like you.
I like Bloober's stuff, and if anything - this confirms one rumour that was floating around, and in part might confirm another - that Konami are working with a prominent Japanese developer to reboot the Silent Hill franchise. Fingers crossed this is leading to an announcement from Sony. Saw one website say 8th July for their rumoured showcase. With Housemarque, Ghost of Ikishima, Bloober's Silent Hill, Kojima's Death Stranding Director's Cut and other leaks coming out, I think we are in for a really great show from Sony.
@Divergent95 Absolutely. "We see you've done some extra work on this free thing we got, can we have it again for free?" That's not a good deal. Have it off with Sony as they didn't broker a deal with the studio for the PS5 version.
@GamingFan4Lyf Yeah because it's not a lot of work. From what I understand it, PS5 versions need a whole new standalone game application, rather than a simple update for the Xbox version to take full advantage of the Xbox series X system. They are having to work with the integrated SSD and the Dualsense haptic feedback to make full use of the PS5. That isn't done in just an update, unfortunately.
Can people stop comparing PS+ to Game Pass, when this is a Games with Gold comparison... Yes we got Greedfall PS4 for free. Should we get the free upgrade when another paid subscription is getting it? No. They are paying monthly for the most up to date games, we are paying for online multiplayer with bonus offerings. Hassle Sony to make PS Now more competitive instead.
Great to see Housemarque join the Sony family. It was inevitable! Also that slip up on JP's social media means Bluepoint ain't far behind! Exciting times ahead! Returnal was fantastic and I would love to see Bluepoint tackle something that they will build from the ground up. Fingers crossed this is leading to a State of Play show.
Right here is my theory! Nuare have worked with Kojima in the past, they are working on this game with Hasan from Blue Box Studios, because Hasan is working on the game since he joined Kojima Productions Amsterdam!! Kojima wanted to make this new game in secret, like he did with MGS V, and Hasan stepped forward with "I have this inactive studio account and social media channels that you could use to work on this game in plain sight". This is it! We will find out tomorrow, but this is my theory! Aahhhhh! I DID IT!! I'M SO EXCITED!
I would love this to be a Resistance reboot! Release the trilogy remaster as well! Release ALL THE INSOMNIAC GAMES! Give us Sunset Overdrive while you're at it. I am there!
I am glad he has made the video and they can now put this to bed. But then Kojima Productions had to go and like the video on Twitter and this has sparked fresh theories that the guy is an actor.
Ratchet & Clank is incredible, but Returnal is a brilliant kick to the nuts in terms of addictive gameplay. Picked Resident Evil as well cause I just love the series and this was a great entry.
@TooBarFoo I think it's just a term usually attributed to movies that Kojima has chosen because of his reputation. Could have gone with Extended Edition as well. Hopefully the expansion is quite substantial, as I wouldn't mind leaping into this with PS5 upgrades.
Just checked their twitter and they have since deleted all of the "incriminating" tweets including the "Abandoned = s_______l" tweet that got a lot of people thinking this was Silent Hill. They have pinned a tweet, reiterating that the game isn't Silent Hill and are not working with Hideo Kojima. I think they are now setting the record straight and admitting they messed up and need to damage control before everyone screams at them on Friday when we get access to the trailer app and it shows it definitely isn't Silent Hill. Oh well, I am bowing out from this conspiracy.
If this isn't a big reveal of a Silent Hill remake/reboot, I think we should blame Sony rather than this small developer. Sony have been extremely tight lipped about any upcoming PlayStation Studios work and exclusives, and so people are now blowing up the smallest of details in anything they can find. We really want to know where PlayStation is going this generation, and after a big E3 showing from Xbox, we just want a response from Sony. Sony don't need E3, but it's nice knowing when something could be scheduled to be revealed. Right now info is drip fed and I think that needs to change.
Would love a remaster of the trilogy. I never played the third game as I didn't like it went more action and co-op, but willing to give it a try. The Mass Effect trilogy remaster has been a well done job so I am excited to see what they do with it.
Just platinumed Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart! Such a fantastic game, like a playable movie and that ending reminded me of avengers. Fantastic! I hope Insomniac aren't done with these characters. Also playing Returnal
A better spin on this story is that Alan Wake Remastered was spotted in the listing and hopefully heading to multiple platforms in a publishing deal with Epic Games. Not "this game that was always timed exclusive ain't exclusive no mo' "
Twice they've gone out of their way to say they are not working on Silent Hill and are not Hideo Kojima, despite previous messages alluding to Hideo Kojima and Silent Hill. The game name tweet in particular. But yeah, if it is just a small studio riding the hype then they will get torn to shreds by the conspiracy theorists.
Feels like an obligation rather than a time to celebrate. If everyone didn't have sideshows and showcases of their own then it would have probably been a lot better and more focused. I think Nintendo and Xbox did best out of all of them but of course they did. Capcom talked about games already out for goodness sake! Where were all the rumoured games?! Elden Ring stole the show
That is the second time this studio has gone out of their way to say this is not Silent Hill and they are not working on Silent Hill.
Moby Dick Studios denied similar when the "brand new studio" was teasing a new game and they had flat out denied they were working on MGS V The Phantom Pain...
Hey people are gagging for a remaster ever since the ps3 servers were closed. They could have started development on the ps4 (weren't bluepoint working on it for 3/4 years?), and then the higher ups decided this would be a good launch game for the ps5. Horizon 2 started development on the ps4....
My question is why was this only discovered now and not upon release?
Stop acting like they're free, xbox players don't own the game via game pass. I don't scroll through my netflix subscription thinking "great, I now own multiple seasons of Grace & Frankie, for some reason!"
Day one for Guardians. Really like the look and gameplay shown. I was excited for a "soulsborne" final fantasy, but that trailer has just made it an immediate no.
Argument against the Netflix of games: I won't own any games, something I really like doing. Also Netflix keep cancelling stuff that doesn't get a big uptick in subscribers within the first few weeks of release. Imagine that for any games you like.
I have absolutely no interest left for this franchise. That might change with Avatar 2 but it has had its time and the sequels have taken too long to come out. I am more annoyed Cameron hasn't approved The Abyss and True Lies 4K transfers than anything else due to the Avatar delays 🤣
@Kopite read a rumour it's been retitled Outrage and might be a Switch timed exclusive and then cross platform in April 22. Starring Rebecca Chambers and should have a few other returning characters.
If Insomniac can release 2 games and 2 remasters within one year of the PS5 launch then please, Sony, give these devs whatever they want to make whatever they want. I would be very excited if that game list revealing Sunset Overdrive Refresh and a sequel is true.
Since Sony hasn't announced any show I'm hoping for the Final Fantasy Soulslike from Square, VII Part 2 and then Phil Spencer announcing another dev acquisition that will just ruin me.
Scrolling through YouTube last night and found that Seth Rogen is working with Sony Animation to create a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie... could this be the game tie in that PixelOpus is working on???
@Reyren they couldn't cut off the 100million player base on PS4, it just wouldn't make sense. It will just be a better experience on PS5. I am very happy to accept that.
@Deljo ps4 to ps5 isn't as big a jump graphically over ps3 to ps4. So yeah we get fancy water, 60fps and 4k resolution with greater graphical detail. I'm sure HFD will play well on PS4 but I am very happy with my PS5 investment already. Specifically the lack of a jet engine.
In the spirit of U2 and Apple, will we soon consider Astro's Playroom the best selling Sony game of all time? It and Rescue Mission are fantastic platformers and I am very much looking forward to what this team comes up with next.
My situation before the release of PS5 was trying to keep my PS4 from not going jet engine loud. Having the whole house know I was playing the console. I am very happy I picked up a PS5 and have enjoyed many games from Playstation Studios so far. I do not mind if Ragnorok and Horizon are cross platform, if that is what is necessary for Sony during a pandemic and microchip shortage. These two franchises were stunning on PS4. I will just get to play them on a whisper quiet PS5.
