@RudeAnimat0r yeah they wouldn't be able to change the formula too much, can't imagine they'd try and do a realistic slime

Its like Playstation woke up this week, feels like they've been quiet since the showcase and now they're starting to release some news

Understandable, a game inspired by Game of Thrones is hardly going to be appealing in Japan. In saying that the game is very Final Fantasy and has references to so many past entries. Im sure sales will do fine worldwide though.

Will be interesting to see DQXII as they're going for a darker more serious tone for that game as well

Translation: it's a free to play title where people buy robux, we at Sony want to know the best way to monetise it so we make a good portion of the profit

Crazy to think that since 2014 when they released Dragon Age Inquisition they have had 2 flops in nearly 10 years, Anthem and Mass Effect Andromeda, so no wonder they're laying off people. They would of made a little bit off the Mass Effect collection and SWTOR might bring a bit of revenue. Sad to see but its the state of the world right now

@Keyblade-Dan Yep Kingdom Hearts is Square's 3rd biggest franchise in revenue now that its sold all of the European side

"The game came out broken, but we still sold heaps and made a big profit, which was a cool moment"

@Sequel understandable when you look at the past couple of years as most of the games that have dominated are Japanese, Elden Ring, Zelda, FFXVI, Street Fighter VI, Resident Evil 4 etc etc.....

Annapurna doesn't miss, they manage to always sign up the best indies

@Drago201 thats pretty young for a ceo tbf

I since found out hes the main man behind NFT's so stuff that guy

@Savage_Joe is it though? PS4 is 10 year old tech, time to move on and push the medium forward. This is the first generation ive seen hold onto the previous generation for so long

Good to see some young blood!

Capcoms new Deep Down

Check out the memoria project on twitter, they are about to announce something there at 10.30pst. Supposedly a fan made video project but would not be surprised if its something more.

Here's the link for the website

Let MS buy it so it can be over, it's going to happen anyway. Can't wait for the day I never have to hear about the acquisition again

I really enjoy Devolver's indie offerings, but their shows are so cringe that i cant watch them, ill just watch the trailers when they're uploaded after

@patronmacabre after GoW Ragnarok we’ve already been wondering what the future of PS studios single player games are outside of SM2 and Wolverine, and unfortunately we still don’t know, just have a few average CG trailers for GaaS games. I think Helldivers 2 looks interesting though

A wipeout movie would be amazing, one of the series that got me onto the Playstation ecosystem

I saw a rumour that Xbox had secured the one year deal, which made sense as Sega has very close ties to Microsoft and all the previous entries releasing on Gamepass recently

Love that its going to be linear with little side quests and no mini games. I just want a great story and a fairly straight shot to the end, similar to VII remake's structure. I'm getting fatigued with games that are coming out with bloat and too much pointless content

Creative bankruptcy right here, haven't they already announced like 4 mainline assassins creed games in development? Should we say Beyond good and evil 2 is dead now

Man, so much trash TV and films came out of the last big strike, hope it doesn't happen again. They're probably trying to get a pay rise now before AI takes over writing scripts for everything and they're out of jobs

"So yeah, my dads names Dualsense, he left before i was born,"

I went from Atari to Sega to PC to Playstation. My brother in law had a PS1 and I fell in love, I had the choice between the 3(PS1, N64, Saturn) and jumped on the PS1 wagon thanks to games like Wipeout, Tekken, Ridge Racer etc...

Apart from a brief PS hiatus when I went from PS2 to Wii for a few years, I've never gone without the latest PlayStation under the TV

I just can't wait for it to end, been sick of hearing about it

@4kgk2
It's crazy especially when you consider we only really had 2 big AAA Final Fantasy's all last gen (XV and VIIR) amongst lots of spinoffs, ports and remasters.

@Ryall that makes a big amount of sense

No EA is in a renaissance currently, and has been quite strong in their releases for the past year.

I'm more surprised by Microsoft having more engagement than Sony, with Microsoft having very little releases and Sony having some big hitters last year. Maybe its gamepass driving numbers?

@Tr3mm0r

That terrible Fast and Furious game that Vin Diesel announced

Maybe a demo releasing soon similar to PT

So that why Ubisoft pulled this off ps plus, incoming goty ultimate edition

I'm not sure if I agree with that, I think it was the more mature offer that made the Playstation so successful, the launch was great with the likes of Ridge Racer, Battle Arena Toshiden, Tekken, Wipeout etc...coming from the platform friendly games snes and genesis provided at the time

Going to be a PT style demo

It's been several years since I've seen a showcase that's blown my mind. Most everyone I've watched this year has been disappointing bar a couple. The June State of Play and FFVII 25th Anniversary livestream were highlights. With the likes of Ubisoft and Microsoft who played all their cards too early they have nothing big to announce and just give small updates at their respective presentations. Geoff Keighley shows are usually too long and boring with alot of filler. The other problem is leaks, all the big surprises in these shows are already leaked. We need Sony to come rescue us with a Showcase

Meh, goes both ways, we have had Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo, both xbox owned games, plus we also had Physconauts 2 and minecraft games

So Injustice 3 then

Release dates for Sonic Frontiers, Need for Speed 22 and Hogwarts Legacy and im good. I never expect much from Geoff Keighleys presentations anymore as they almost always disappoint

10/15, okay, couple questions I had no idea

@Rmg0731 yeah it's crazy, I did a count up the other day, between switch and Playstation they have 9 titles incoming this year as long as Valkyrie Elysium and Crisis Core make it

Man I hope Dragon quest x offline makes it West!

11/15!! Best one yet

August, Sony hardly puts out big releases in Holiday, they usually target July-sept. State of Play will be next month, TLoUII, GoT and HFW all had their SoPs in May

@clianvXAi I think alot more of the PS Studio titles would of been PS5 exclusives like GT7, HFW, GoWR etc... but Sony probably foresaw the chip shortage and made the developers push PS4 versions out. Just my theory. It's crazy you still can't walk into a shop and buy a PS5

@trev666 it would look something like this

1. ASTRO'S PLAYROOM
2. RATCHET AND CLANK RIFT APART
3. DEMON'S SOULS
4 RETURNAL
5 DESTRUCTION ALLSTARS

I think that's it

@trev666 the list would be way too short, I think there's only 5 true exclusives if you take out titles that are on PC as well

What's crazy is the quality of Playstation Studios games, every title they've released is on here bar Destruction Allstars and the MLB titles

Wow Ghostwire sales are disappointing

Wow, apart from yearly sports games EA is going to have a very quiet 2022

@AdamNovice there's definitely a big event incoming from Sony, after MLB22 next month we know very little about future PS Studios lineup bar GoWR and Insomniac games

They always seem to have higher sales expectations from Square Enix Europe than the Japanese side, you barely hear them saying the JP games haven't hit target. Yet GotG, Tomb Raider, Avengers, Deus Ex, Hitman all seemed to miss SE's mark. Time to sell up these studios to Sony!
