Game director in twitter wrote that they’re now hiring in all positions for this project. Seems it’s in early development. Won’t be ready before 2027-28. What they were doing 7 years now. 12 year cycles between AAA games is longer than console generation cycles.

Re: Sony More Likely Than Microsoft to Acquire a Japanese Game Company, Analyst Explains

Sony is having perfect relationship with most japanese game companies. They release so many exclusives on Playstation even though it sells less than Switch in Japan. One reason is that multiplatform in general sell better at PS. Another reason is that Sony treats the software partners right. Nintendo is like, oh well we don't really need u we got Mario and Pikachu. This ignorance bite them in the ass during N64, GC (well with GC its the only time they really tried) and Wii U era

Re: Square Enix Reveals New Final Fantasy VII Anniversary Logos, Hopes You're 'Ready for the Year Ahead'

I bought the original on PC, didn't own a Playstation (was many cd-roms). Haven't heard anything about the series but i thought the name and cover art was so cool. The game was a buggy mess on PC. Had some serious compatibility issues, wasn't able to run it properly. Thats one good thing about consoles. You don't have to worry about these things.

@Teddie-bear i think this make more sense as a Switch part-time exclusive. The first one is still pretty great though if u play it on PS Vita's screen

Re: Poll: Does Sony Need to Take Action After Microsoft's Activision Buyout?

Ofc they have a huge problem. Gamepass is turning into a Netflix/Spotify for games. Sony is still offering its AAA games for 80$. Its like iTunes vs Spotify model. Even if Sony games are better gamepass model will prevail in the long run. Sony can't really afford to offer something as good as Gamepass. Microsoft is bleeding money rn but they make it up from other divisions. But Sony should offer something like Gamepass lite for selected titles. They will have to say bye bye to short term profits but its more important to stay on the game.
