What do you mean by BF numbers? Do you mean the fact that Series S was the best selling console? The only reason this happened is because PS5 is no where to be found.
eFootball 2022 is a nightmare. Disaster. I cant even believe how awful the animations, mechanics, graphics are. This is way a step backward. I am a big PES fan since the days of Winning Eleven on PS1. Honestly, I deleted this atrocious edition and preordered FIFA 22.
@GingerSilent Hiedeki Kamiya was the director of Resident Evil 2. He was the screen writer of the original RE. So he was involved in Horror adventure games. It is just my wild guess trying to figure out what “prominent” Japanese studio could develop SH according to the VGC rumor.
@GingerSilent whats the famous horror IP Bloober’s CEO talking about other than Silent Hill?! Konami has only one horror IP game. Lets hope the “prominent” Japanese developer worths the wait. (Platinum? KP? Tango?)
Now the real question. Is Kojima Productions considered a prominent Japanese developer? I mean the studio released a single game only “DS” and before that it was a subsidiary of Konami.
I am extremely disappointed about the bloober thing. Lets be honest their metacritic average is around 60-70.
I am no longer convinced that it’s Kojima behind this drama. I think this kahraman dude is a weirdo. He is basically going Kamikaze with these conflicting “ kerfuffle “
Sony in NO way is pressuring any developer to show ANYTHING if a supposedly PS5 exclusive is not ready or early in development!
@blinx01 one SH game being developed in Japan (presumably by KP and is PS5 exclusive) and the second one is developed by a western studio (Bloober, developer of the Medium, a multiplatform game). This is my wild guess..
@The_Pixel_King Returnal flopped badly because the game is by NO means a mainstream one. The game is exhilarating difficult. Extremely punishing. Many of my friends who own PS5 are reluctant to buy it because of its design not because of the price. Even Housemarque knows that their game is risky & targets a special group of people who are into rogue like games.
@AhmadSumadi expanding into mobile games?? In what way does that positively affect PS5? Meanwhile MS is acquiring publishers / sealing deals with independent studios (possibly Kojima)
Instead of investing in studios/contracts with independent studios to create games on PS5. Sony is throwing money to create Mobile games. Jim Ryan Out !!
As far as I am concerned, Sony used air freight in delivering PS5s at launch. So I don’t see any major concern regarding the issue raised in this article.
@Octane ofcourse they will say “ HELL YEAH” if Microsoft offers is an eye watering! Sony needs to strengthen its first party studios. Last studio they bought was like 2 years ago (Insomniac). It is an investment after all if they actually own them.
@Octane because Microsoft is on fire now. They might approach the talented people at BP and snap them up. Hell they bought an entire publisher and according to their CEO they aren’t done yet.
Sony should secure them as first party studio ASAP.
Apart from Timed Exclusives, Sony also has an excellent relationship with second party studios that develop some exclusive games for playstation. Studios in the likes of Bluepoint, Supermassive games, Housemarque, Kojima Productions, Ember Lab, among others. I am pretty sure whichever earn Sonys Trust will end up soon as first party studio.
Why am I not surprised? I have known this since the first announcement. It is like saying “I wanna play Horizon Forbidden West on Xbox Series, finger crossed”
People get over this. If you love Bethesda games so much, then just get PC or Xbox.
@munstre why would I care? last great game from Japan Studio was Bloodborne (co-developed with FS). Afterwards, all games are mediocre . An exception goes to, Astro Playroom which isn't a full game. I honestly don’t blame Jim for this. Astro is a beautiful demo. I think they will pull off a great platformer in the future.

Re: Sony's PS Showcase Was One of Its Most Viewed Ever
The most boring PS showcase ever. Yes I am a PS fan.
Filled with Gaas, CGIs, & multiplatform games.
The only bright moment was the unveil of Phantom Blade Zero.
Re: Rumour: Deviation Games' High Profile PS5 Exclusive Has Been Cancelled
Good news.
One less service game to worry about.

@nessisonett definitely Gears of war 6, console exclusive on PS5.
Re: Rumour: PS Vita 2 Dreams Killed But Sony Might Have a Handheld for PS5 Remote Play in the Works
@Shepherd_Tallon or just let the missus watch the stargate rerun on her tablet
Re: Random: The Witcher 3's Next-Gen Pigeon Is Suddenly a Star
@GrimReaper what a doltish thoughtless comment. Even on PS6 you would see sporadic graphical mishaps.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Takes Fourth Number One, Still Selling Best on PS5
That #8 Wo long must be 99.9% playstation version since it is available on GP day one.
Re: Mini Review: Tentacular (PSVR2) - Physics Puzzler May (Ten)tickle Your Fancy
Nice PSVR2 coverage. But how about reviews (or mini reviews) of GT7 & RE Village? These are the main launch games.
Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake's PSVR2 Content Arriving After Launch
@DarkestHour albeit the old non-remake RE4.
Re: Kojima Productions Isn't for Sale, Despite Ridiculously High Offers
Ridiculously high offers?
Microsoft & Tencent come to mind.
Re: Poll: Will You Pay the PSVR2 Launch Price?
Definitely going to pick it up on launch. I can’t wait to try out RE 8 village VR (And RE4 Remake VR)
Re: Assassin's Creed Origins Is Free to Download and Play This Weekend
@NeThZOR AC: Valhalla is on PS Extra/Premium . Nuff said.
Re: The Game Awards' Final Round of Fan Voting for Players' Voice Award Live
Halo infinite is leading .. and its not even out yet… this players voice thing is a joke.
Re: PS Plus Games for December 2021 Are Available to Download Now
@zebric21 why the all rage? Competition is a healthy thing. It will motivate Sony to be aggressive and creative.
Re: PS Plus Games for December 2021 Are Available to Download Now
What do you mean by BF numbers? Do you mean the fact that Series S was the best selling console? The only reason this happened is because PS5 is no where to be found.
Re: PS Plus Games for December 2021 Are Available to Download Now
@zebric21 the whole idea is to tempt you to purchase the PS5 edition.
Re: Geoff Keighley Teases 'Four or Five' Elden Ring Calibre Showcases for The Game Awards
One of them is HellBlade 2 according to Jeff Grub.
Re: Sony Allegedly Funding Kojima Productions Silent Hill Game
@Milktastrophe two simultaneous projects? Sure, makes perfect sense.
Re: FIFA 22's PS5, PS4 Launch Trailer Must Have Cost a Fortune
Weird that they promoted PS5 (no mention of Xbox Series X/S?). I think Sony contributed in that trailer as well.
Re: Hands On: It'll Take More Than Sam Allardyce to Save eFootball on PS5, PS4

Re: UK Sales Charts: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Holds Its Own in a Nintendo-Heavy Top 10
@Luigia because it is selling at a bargain price (£15)

@Danloaded huh, the dude gave right & left hints for a silent hill game!

So disappointed.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Sells Even Better in Its Second Week
Yesterday I completed Returnal.
This game is awesome, intense, exhilarating. Sadly no one is buying it. Housemarque is now one of my fav developers.
Re: This Abandoned and Blue Box Game Studio Thing Is Getting Out of Hand
@blinx01 one SH game being developed in Japan (presumably by KP and is PS5 exclusive) and the second one is developed by a western studio (Bloober, developer of the Medium, a multiplatform game). This is my wild guess..

Re: Sony on Upcoming PS5 Games: Wait Until You See What's Coming from Our Third-Party Partners
Who care about timed exclusives? Sony should invest more in 1st & 2nd party game studios and create fresh IPs.
Re: Don't Hold Your Breath for Bethesda's Starfield on PS5, PS4
Why is this even a news?!
Starfield is developed by Bethesda.
Bethesda is fully owned by Microsoft.
Starfield is exclusive to Xbox.
It is like getting shocked that Ghost of Tsushima sequel is a PS5 exclusive.
Folks lets turn over a new leaf.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's PS5 Yuffie DLC to Be Download Code
Day one for me.
Re: PS5 Console Sales Reach 7.8 Million, Beating PS4's Record
Now I wish Sony invest in Studios (Housemarque?) and new fresh IPs. .
Re: Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Director Shaun Escayg Rejoins Naughty Dog
Good to hear that someone is coming back. Now, lets hope Bruce Straley returns.
Re: Sony Invests Another $200 Million into Fortnite, Unreal Engine Creator Epic Games
Sound investment.
Now it is the time to invest in more studios? Perhaps Bluepoint? Housemarque?
Re: Sony Wants to Bring PlayStation's Most Popular Franchises to Smartphones
@AhmadSumadi expanding into mobile games?? In what way does that positively affect PS5? Meanwhile MS is acquiring publishers / sealing deals with independent studios (possibly Kojima)

Re: Sony Bend Was, At One Point, Working on a New Uncharted
Oh pity. Playstation Studios are in a mess. Shuhei Yoshida you are missed
Re: Days Gone 2 Not Given the Greenlight, Sony Bend Working on Something New
What a terrible month for Playstation.
Japan Studio got shattered, Days Gone sequel fell apart, and Kojima production’s next game is Xbox exclusive !
Re: Puppeteer's Gavin Moore Rounds Out Japan Studio Exodus As Team Disbands
@Olmaz the PS4 game (Rescue Mission) was PSVR only .. that’s a shame cause I really loved Astro’s Playroom on PS5.
Re: Puppeteer's Gavin Moore Rounds Out Japan Studio Exodus As Team Disbands
I would love to see the next Astro game on PS5. Not a PSVR2 exclusive just like Astro Rescue mission.
Re: PS5 Stock Could Be Affected by Ship Stuck in Suez Canal
As far as I am concerned, Sony used air freight in delivering PS5s at launch. So I don’t see any major concern regarding the issue raised in this article.
Re: Reaction: Why Did PlayStation Buy Evo?

Re: Bloodborne, Tokyo Jungle Executive Producer Masami Yamamoto Leaves Sony
Sony is downsizing its first party studios. At the same time Microsoft is acquiring more and more studios. Jim Ryan Mattrick.

Re: Google Denies Cancelled Stadia Exclusive Hideo Kojima Horror Reports
@Exlee300p Nintendo Switch was behind Phil in that recent Video. Does that mean GamePass is launching soon on Switch? I want to hear your instinct.
Re: Sony Officially Confirms Re-Organisation of Japan Studio

Re: Two More Sony Japan Studio Devs Depart at the End of This Month
At this rate. Next thing (I highly expect) Sony shuts down Japan Studio. So much for “Japan is important to us”.
