Gamescom: Sony’s Studios Are Still Working on PS3, Vita Games

All 14 of Sony's studios may be working on PS4, but that doesn't mean they're not working on PS3 and Vita, too.

Abash3899d ago

Yup, that was fairly obvious. Some have moved entirely to PS4 development though

ABeastNamedTariq3899d ago (Edited 3899d ago )

ALL have :)

http://www.ign.com/articles...

"Shuhei Yoshida – the man basically calling the shots for every PlayStation exclusive – confirmed that every studio in Sony’s stable is making PlayStation 4 games."

EDIT: Wait....I think I misread your comment. My bad haha.

guitarded773899d ago

Yeah, well... I was gonna question your comment, but you did a good job of doing that yourself :D

On topic: Clearly Sony would still be working on Vita games, but it's really good to know that they are not killing off the PS3, like Nintendo did with the Wii. They understand there is a huge install base, and even more getting a PS3 this holiday season. I'm getting a PS4 day one, but still looking forward to what they do with the PS3.

3-4-53898d ago

So everyone is making PS4 games, and then some of those making PS4 games, are also making Vita & PS3 games ?

princejb1343899d ago

This is one of the things that's bad and good
Is good for ps3 gamers who are planning to stick with ps3 for a few more years
But is bad for ps4 because many of the games such as last of us or beyond two sounds could have been put as a ps4 launch title making their line up much stronger

ABeastNamedTariq3899d ago

TLOU and Beyond have been/were in development for years. Why would they hold off on that for PS4?

They're going to be the PS3's swan song (as well as GT6, etc.).

I wouldn't want them to take titles that were meant for PS3 and move them to PS4 just to pad their launch lineup. Heh, heh.

It's not that serious lol, lineup is fine.

Army_of_Darkness3898d ago

I have more than enough ps3 games to still play and purchase so I'm not concerned about a ps3 game drought one bit.
I'm actually glad sony is getting all their studios to develop for ps4:-D

remanutd553899d ago

I think sony should have an internet psvita only show to announce all SCE games coming to the system in 2014.

boybato3899d ago

Maybe Bend's rumored project ends up being a PS4/Vita title...

GdaTyler3899d ago

Wish it was a Vita exclusive. Vita needs more exclusives. In my opinion PS4 is already in a good position.

CocoWolfie3899d ago

the vita needs more retail games.. digital games are kinda really hard to sell consoles, so just a pointer, hopefully they release more that way :')

sherimae24133899d ago (Edited 3899d ago )

but if you just look into it... there are really a handfull of retail games for 2013 and we only have 4 months before the year ends...

next month and onwards..

killzone mercenary
tearaway
rayman legends
ys: memories of celceta
toukiden
batman arkham origins blackgate
angry birds star wars (ewww)
valhalla knights 3

and were still not sure about:

atelier meruru plus
final fantasy x hd
final fantasy x-2 hd

and ofcourse japan had alot of retail releases for vita from sept. and onwards...

Hicken3898d ago

Hey, some Vita owners like Angry Birds. Not you or me, but I'm sure one or five of them do.

Shinobi1003898d ago

The end of this year is ok. But next year looks like a barren wasteland at retail for Vita

Hicken3898d ago

How can you say that? Most of the games on the Vita's list for this year weren't announced until this year; if they were revealed earlier, it was late last year.

There's still at LEAST TGS to announce games, and they won'all be out this year.

arbitor3653899d ago

sony is still putting out huge titles on PS3, while microsoft has completely abandoned the Xbox360 since the beginning of this year.

so, really sony is taking it easy on microsoft with the PS4 right now. once naughty dog, santa monica, polyphony, media molecule, and quantic dream jump to the PS4, it's done

DrakenSilverwing3898d ago

its just like xbox to xbox360 gen, they abandoned there first console right away, they are abandoning the 360 right away this time. its a good thing sony doesn't do that cause they know they can still sell alot of systems for years to come. just like the ps2. took years before they stopped and there were many great games for it even after the ps3 came out.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies1d 2h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken22h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 13h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 13h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt1d 1h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken22h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 19h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 18h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 18h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies1d 8h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
