Sony’s Adam Boyes “Lost His Mind” for an “Amazing” Upcoming PS4 Game after Getting a Sneak Peek

Sony's Vice President of Publisher & Developer Relations Adam Boyes loves to tease, and he did some more teasing during the latest episode of the PlayStation Blogcast, during which, with his typical quiet conspiring voice, he talked about a sneak peek he got of an upcoming PS4 game.

[Majin-vegeta]

Hmmmm...wonder what it is.

[Vojkan]

It's SSM game. From what I have been told in last month it is something that no one will see coming. And that it is the game with biggest budget that Sony has ever made. What that means exactly I don't know.

[christrules0041]

Well Cory Barlog returned to Santa Monica to work on it plus the Battlestar Galactica writer was working with SSM . http://www.playstationlifes...

[Eonjay]

SSM is working with the writer from Battle Star Galactica right? Savage Starlight perhaps?

@christrules0041

I was thinking the same thing.

[Vojkan]

It's not Barlog game, it's way too early. he has yet to build his team.
It's from Stigs team. they have been working on it since GOW3 was completed

[PoSTedUP]

i will never let go of the idea that The Getaway 3 is still in the works. "there was a lot of money put into it so its still comming" not the exact quote but something like that. [they] said it was best to put the game on hold, untill when; we may never know but i think itll come soon. well, im praying.

[frostypants]

A new IP would be nice.

[edgeofsins]

Where is the comment that is has the biggest budget Sony has ever made? And if that is true then this means it could be a free roam game. Linear games typically have lesser budgets but we shall see

[mikeslemonade]

It's obviously the The Order.

[guitarded77]

I want to lose my mind too... hope they announce soon.

[Omegasyde]

Its a Santa Monica game and its Heavenly sword 2 (working title)....

It will be released along side the heavenly sword (direct to dvd/blu-ray).

No idea on release date, but I am absolutely sure this is it.

[ZombieKiller]

Greatness truly does await.

I am so glad I got a PS4 at launch and can't wait to see who has what in store for us. I hope they put Barlog back on God of War and they make a really nasty one.
Him and Todd Papy need to team up and kidnap Stig. I would lose my mind.

I know this isn't a God of War game (at least I don't think it is) I hope they wait a bit more for that.

I wonder if it's new or if it's a game series we know already....

[pheature]

would we then not know about it if its the biggest budget game ever.

[MazzingerZ]

@ZombieKiller
Todd papy I think is now working at Crytek, but I do hope SONY really surprise us with this one, I mean something that doesn't leak and noone saw it coming, I miss those E3

[Freak of Nature]

Could very well be SSM, they have the highest odds... Or Media Molecules new IP? That is a game that can be something really inventive,creative and so stylish that causes someone to go into "lost your mind" mode...

Could even be a 3rd party game, he normally works with third parties...Sony’s Vice President of Publisher & Developer Relations would probably hoot,holler and scream if it was an exclusive...What a tease, give us a bone...

Hope it's an exclusive, they are what I want most for all my systems...

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

Hope is not a multiplat but something that takes advantage of ps4.

[dakunclear]

Legend of Dragoon 2?

[Retroman]

Nor a FPS to many out now. something new that take advantage of ps4 would be great.

[TH3BR3W]

@dakunclear That would be one of the most epic releases I could imagine them doing as it was one of the top games that my friends and I hoped would have a sequel.

Imagine Dragons O-o

[indysurfn]

@dakunclear I was about to say arc the lad but Legend of dragon would be awesome. I hope it is a JRPG. Also those usually take the largest budgets. Even a REAL Final fantasy third part game would be awesome, like FF I through FF9, (FFIX)!

[miyamoto]

The same game Shuhei Yoshida saw.

The Last Guardian by Ueda

[Doink]

Typical sony overhype

[kenshiro100]

Typical naysayer in a Sony article.

[ZombieKiller]

Typical fanboy d-bag. That's ok, typical bubble loss.

[BallsEye]

He's from Sony but I'm sure it's not just a PR talk. If it would be MS guy excited for XO exclusive it would be a PR talk for sure! n4g style yo! Anyway, more games is always good. Poor choice so far.

[insomnium2]

MS PR people do it only for the money. Sony's PR-folks are gamers so yeah!

[lawgone]

insomnium2...I hope that is sarcasm. I don't know because there are so many here that would actually believe that.

Edit: Holy crap. I just realized from your other comments on here that you're probably serious.

[BallsEye]

@insomnium2

Your comment blew me away...and all the agrees on yours and disagrees on mine just show how blind herd sony fanboys are. It's just unbelievable. This is a funny place!! :D

[insomnium2]

Sorry to burst your bubbles ballseye and lawgone but that is the way people see Sony PR people. I've heard people playing on PSN with Adam Boyes and such. People see them being gamers and doing their business for the gamers. Why the hell do you think PS4 is so popular?

It's easy to just say this site is full of Sony fanboys. It only shows your bitterness though.

You could ask around about what these PR-peoples' PSN and XBL ID is and check their trophies and achievements to see for yourself wether they are gamers or not. Please do the same for the MS PR-people too while you are at it.

[G20WLY]

^Butthurt style, yo!

Gotta be SSM, been waiting for ages for news on what they have cooking! :)

[SkippyPaccino]

Lair 2: Skyrims revenge???

[mrpsychoticstalker]

Gears

[DonMingos]

Well, Adam Boyle is responsible for third party relationship...

Could it be a third party exclusive like... you know... this:

http://tinyurl.com/nbjvesm

BELIEVE!!!!

[Majin-vegeta]

Well there is a shenmue conference next year with Mark Cerny being there so maybe yes it is.

[TBONEJF]

STOP SPAMMING POSTING bogus links. this guy is a lucky bastard. now we have to wait till E3 next year for some PS4 GOODIES

[Crossbones]

Please God Don't Let It Be A Indie Game. I like indie games but Sony next year needs to focus on the AAA Games.

[Vojkan]

it's not indy.

[Crossbones]

But he didn't say specifically what type of game it is, so we don't know for sure. I believe 100% it is a AAA Game but you never know.

[Vojkan]

I know it isn't. Besides that isn't his field. He works with 3rd part big titles. Like The witcher, Watchdogs, etc. Shadid works with Indies.

[Gamer666]

LOL. Indies are definitely important to the industry but Sony dealt with a lack of launch content by getting a bunch of PC Indie ports... Really Sony launched with Resogun, Killzone, and Knack as exclusives. Nothing wrong with them, but these games have not given me a lot of reasons to replay them.

MS may not have a bunch of AAA titles, but at least they got a lot of exclusive and content that makes you want to play them again... DR3, Forza 5, Ryse, Powerstar Golf, Killer Instinct, and even Lococycle are good games even though some have a last gen feel there are some fresh IPs. And of course the timed exclusive Peggle 2...

[IAmSovereign]

Only decent game you listed was Forza 5, and thats being generous.

[showtimefolks]

only decent game is Forza 5, dead rising 3 is alright nothing to write home about and Ryse just sucks man. get real games like Ryse shouldn't be used in the same sentence as good

[Kryptix]

lol He said Lococycle was a good game...

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

To me, both sides were ok with their launch games, but Sony's future plan looks much more better if you're aware of the very high quality the PS3 brought in.

[BIGBOSS08]

sure PS4 launched with hardly any exclusives but that xbox one list aint too interesting either. unless your a racing fan, dead rising 3 is about the only game worth playing. powerstar golf?? wtf? well atleast exclusives mean something to xbox fans again.

[insomnium2]

"well atleast exclusives mean something to xbox fans again."

Exactly! When someone uses a game with below 50 in MC to make an argument you KNOW eclusivity is important.

Here's a question though. If PS4 becomes much more popular than xbone what will the xbox-people turn to then once the landslide of great exclusive games do hit the shelves for the PS4? If they don't even get teh zales to boast about then what?

Poor xbox-fanboys.

[Gamer666]

@insomnium2

I have both consoles... There is no side worth taking because they are both corporations. I buy consoles to play games, not to rant about how great MS or Sony is.

MS has a distinct pattern. They bring out more exclusives and better exclusives at the start of the generation. And then they don't do as many exclusives at the end of the generation.

Sony is different. They don't start with strong exclusives and then they start to bring the best new IPs and exclusives at the end of the generation.

So when it comes down to a pure gaming perspective it is better to have an MS console near the start of the generation and a Sony console at the end of the generation.

Fortunately, I have both consoles all generation long. And right now committed Sony fanboys are in denial that X1 doesn't have better games because they are counting the multi-platform games on both consoles and looking forward to next year's games. infamous, FF XIV, The Order, Drive Club, etc. And MS is already strong next year as well... Titanfall, Quantum Break, Halo, Fable Legends etc. So really, it is people who are complete fanboys of one console that miss out. Not gamers who have both consoles and can enjoy the best of both worlds.

[insomnium2]

@gamer

I don't support bad business practices.

[FluffyPeech]

I read this as "Please God Don't Let It Be A Indie (Indiana Jones) Game" to which I was about to hit disagree with the force of a thousand whip cracks, but then understood and agreed

[ZombieKiller]

Dude....could you imagine an Indiana Jones game done right? It would be.....uh... Uncharted oh wait nevermind.

Haha No seriously! That would be cool. I'd like to see one if it's done right.

[DigitalAnalog]

@Prodigy_X. The difference between an "indie" game and a AAA game is that one requires a publisher, the other doesn't. GTAV can be considered an "indie" game if R* self-published their title.

[iceman06]

Exactly!!! For all intents and purposes TitanFall was an indie title. State of Decay was an indie. Nobody complains about those indie titles. Indie, as you pointed out, is NOT about budget (though smaller devs can have those constraints) but more about whether or not the developer has a publisher.

[ShutUpDonny]

I think the line between indie and AAA is getting thinner. Just look at No Man's Sky. I have never seen a game that ambitious in my life and 4 guys are making it.

[Gabenbrah]

Most likely SSM game, let's hope they don't disappoint because GoW Acension was a disappointment.

[FunAndGun]

Ascension had a super fresh MP component. Not one single MP game played like Ascension did during this whole past gen. It was original and solid.

The SP had some flaws, but still better than the large majority of hack n slash games on the market.

[Gabenbrah]

I found the MP very boring and dull, the SP was fun at times but I think GoW has past it's time. Time for SSM to move onto a new IP.

[jetlian]

clearly didnt play ninja gaiden 3. its was 4v4 and with the full combat of single player. Much better online than gowa

[speedforce131]

you suck bro.

[DanielGearSolid]

Dualshockers is on a roll today

[twinspectre]

i keep my finger crossed , because i wish the PS4 era to be more like the old PS1 - PS2 era than the PS3 era IMO sucked a lil bit compared the old 2 consoles

[sAVAge_bEaST]

I have a feeling, when the ball gets rolling, it will be more like ps1 ps2 days.. -Time to Triangle.
Plus the lighting effects, textures, and all else 1080p. I can't wait for the future.

[moparful99]

Considering that Cerny detailed that they could get code up and running on the system in as little as a month and the gestation period for games on PS4 is far quicke4 than PS3 its safe to assume the high quality games will cone much sooner and more frequently.. Sony is on it this gen..

[Obamanationn]

well least its not kojima because god knows how his announcements turn out

[DigitalRaptor]

Shen to the Mue x3?

Nah, that's unrealistic. But I'm guessing something like Santa Monica's new IP.

[Retard]

Tetris ... 3D!

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

Can't wait to see what it is!!! And just to think guys the PS4 is just getting started!

[MasterofMagnetism]

Whatever it is, I hope we get to see it sooner rather than later.

[Father Murder X]

Its Knack 2: Knack Harder!

[blakstarz]

Now hold on gosh darnnit!!!

Knack was a fun game, too many people sleeping on this title, crank the difficulty up and its hella fun!

[Armadilo21]

Hopefully a big budget PS4 exclusive shooter, even though people hate FPS's in comment sections the PS4 needs a FPS exclusive game that will sell consoles and give FPS gamers something to play since Titanfall won't be coming to the PS4, they need something to compete with that and hype people

[dcj0524]

I just want H-Hour to come out. The wait is killing me. Just give me a gigantic RPG world (Western or Japanese) to explore.

[ABizzel1]

Prey it's anything, but a shooter. Genre Defining RPG / Genre Defining Action game please. I'm tired of shooters.

[hellzsupernova]

This watching my mates play battlefield 4 and nearly died of boredom

[christrules0041]

Two words. Planetside 2.
I would compare it to Titanfall because both games come out on PC and consoles.

[TheFallenAngel]

God of War 4! That game will set the bar so high for graphics on consoles. Or give me another new IP that is not a shooter.

[Relientk77]

I wanna see this game

[Sarobi]

I don't want to wait until E3 to hear about this.

[Donnywho]

Didn't his head just explode from the Vita's remote play feature?

[izumo_lee]

Adam works with 3rd party developers so it can't be something from Sony's internal studios' that is Shuhei's job to hype them.

It has to be something big from a 3rd party developer. It's anyone's guess what it may be. Something from Capcom maybe? or another Japanese dev cause they seem to be on board with the PS4 more than they were with the PS3 when doing exclusives.

[christrules0041]

I doubt it is from Capcom seeing how they are almost broke. The only reason Dead Rising 3 came out was because Microsoft published it and Deep Down will come out because Sony has there team working with Capcom. Unless they fund there project it's probably not from Capcom.

It's going to be a long wait to see this though.

[avangerironman]

i think its the new sony santa monica game with the writer of battlestar galactica :D

[zaz12]

it has to be a third party game because he works with third party relations

[Nodoze]

Galak-Z it looks stunning! I would buy a PS4 to play that game!

[Pancit_Canton]

The Last F***ing Guardian on PS4.

[ilovefatgirls]

its hello kitty electric boogaloo 2 animals of farthing wood edition

[Reverie]

Can we get more games and less PR?

[LOL_WUT]

Uncharted 4 ;)

[XiSasukeUchiha]

I would react the same way too

[PS4FEVER]

medieval !

[ELpork]

Legend of Dragoon 2 or I give up.

[Pillsbury1]

Hype is over 9000! Much more greatness to come, E3 come sooner!

[Adolph Fitler]

@PS4FEVER.....YEEEESSSSSS, agreed 1000%, Medievil is in dire need of a comeback...Problem is, Sony have chopped & hacked all there internal development teams, especially there UK based ones like London Studios, Cambridge Studios, etc, etc, & I'm not sure the original guys would be around to make a new Medievil, and that poses a problem as far as I'm concerned, as anyone wouldn't pull it off right.

If the original Medievil team is still there, I would love a new Medievil, or even a new Primal or Ghosthunter......& I wouldn't sneeze at a new ip from them either. Last I heard Sony had them working on Home &/or move crap, & then they threw them together with another U.K. based Sony 1st party.
Mark Of Kri sequel would also be awesome.

[ShinraE5]

A Sony employee excited over a Sony product? SOMEONE ALERT THE INTERNETS THIS IS UNHEARD OF! Lol.

Jest aside, please, seriously, Legend of Dragoon. Anything. Prequel, Sequel, HD remake, ANYTHING.

[BlakHavoc]

I don't understand what about his tweet implies he's likely speaking of SSM's game?...I think some of you may be trying to take a dollar when he was throwing you a penny. Also some are saying that there's no way he IS talking about a first party game, why? Just cause he deals with 3rd party devs doesn't mean he doesnt know whats going on inside Sony studios. He may not call the shots but I find it to believe he knows nothing, thats like saying just cause a guy works as a server at a restaurant, he has no idea of whats going on in the kitchen.

[jimbobbeers]

Far too much of this hype nonsense these days, you should learn from previous overhype (looking at you Geoff) that this will probably be something pretty ordinary.

[Mr_Luke]

Can't wait to know what it is. I don't like so much Boyes (well, i don't like him at all) but now i'm very curious... i hope it's a new IP, because i know Uncharted 4 will be amazing, The Order is going to be great and now i want a jaw dropping new IP, so more games to add to my future collection ;P

[NeloAnjelo]

If this is something space related, I hope it's like a Mass Effect type game! Story driven RPG, with decisions and choices.

[waltyftm]

Shenmue 3, a man can dream.

[IWasHere]

It's new game from Quantic Dream :D

[Emrage]

look at this killzone is awesome

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Gabnet]

Damn all this marketing. How about you have US lose our minds instead of giving us lil tidbits and creating hype.

[dja1nhb]

i hope its THE GETAWAY

[Rzep]

Who actually thought this was a good way to generate some hype...I have no idea what it takes to get a PR job over at MS or Sony, but the last few years make me think it's not alot. All you need is a vulgar lack of common sense and creativity.

Oh my a corporate tool is excited by a game for the system that is keeping food on his table...come on.

[Kos-Mos]

Another all star?

[SilentSolid]

Warhawk 2! I can dream can't I ;)

[kenshiro100]

Shenmue. Believe!

[ocelot07]

What about The Agent from Rockstar?

[Dfooster]

The last of us 2?

[ATiElite]

If he's at Sony hopefully he saw Heavenly Sword 2. I know it's in the works.

Enough of these "i saw this but can't anything about it" stories as they are POINTLESS, STUPID, and provide no INFORMATION!!

[hano]

Oh god, fanboys are really gobbling this Sony marketing crap.

This site has been run over by Sony fanboys.

[Rmx212]

Legend of Dragon sequal

[Kos-Mos]

Next killzone perhaps?

[dcortz2027]

Syphon Filter for the PS4? It's been way too long..

[aeroz22]

The final Dragonball Z game we've been waiting for. ><

[Drasill]

He doesn't indicate it is an exclusive. he just states that it is for PS4. It could be anything.

[cyclindk]

Well you sons of bitchiz are getting me excited!

Largest budget for Sony game ever?

GoW Master returning for it?

Bring it on!

Any ballpark idea as to when it's supposed to drop?

[lawgone]

If someone could make a beautiful and perfect open world game, that would be fabulous. It would also be a system seller. Skyrim comes somewhat close but they just aren't there yet.
