Sony Bend’s Unannounced PS4 Game to Provide a Cinematic Experience and Advanced Animation

During the launch ceremony of the PS4, SCE Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida teased an unannounced PS4 project by Sony’s Oregon-based Bend Studio, but you didn’t hear anything about it since.

Today a career opportunity ad from Sony seeking a Senior Staff Animator for the studio gives a glimpse on what you can presume to expect from the animation of the new game

[Thatguy-310]

Eight Days! please!! The concept looked like a blast and with the power of the PS4 our minds should melt with the finish product.

[DeletedAcc]

For people who dont know who they are:
They were the best psp devs with ready at dawn and developed uc on vita.
Expect a big game

[ShinMaster]

One of my favorite PS1 devs too.

I need a new next-gen Syphon Filter!

[Kryptix]

Really hoping for another Syphon Filter. I think it's time that we get a new one, it's been since 2007.

The guys at Sony Bend do have a lot of talent. They also made Resistance: Retribution which was a great experience for a handheld. Not sure why they didn't get to develop Resistance: Burning Skies for the Vita which was turned into a mediocre game by Nihilistic Software.

I expect great things coming from Sony Bend, can't wait for more info.

[360ICE]

Expect Syphon Filter! Wooo!

[erathaol]

I'm almost sure that Eight Days won't ever see the light of day, if you want to bet on a known name bet on Syphon Filter, as SCE Bend Studio was behind those titles.

Seeing as this generation Sony is all about new IP's, it could be something new.

[DeadIIIRed]

I was so excited for that game and devastated when they canned it. Surely the PS4 would be able to get pretty close to the prerendered trailer they showed ages ago.

[Iltapalanyymi]

so it is something else than Uncharted project.... Great to hear! I WANT EIGHT DAYS

[mikel1015]

What's with all the cinematic games?

[Thatguy-310]

Transformers, Fast and the Furious, Marvel superhero movies etc. Guys love them. They're entertaining to play and watch.

[imt558]

Weapons, vehicles, action....

Syphon Filter maybe???

Sony Bend is a great studio. Great job on Uncharted for PSV.

[hkgamer]

another vita developer gone to PS4. Happy for my PS4, sad for my PS vita

[okmrman]

you guys always get so excited
goodness

and then you dont even buy the frikking games

[Tatsuya]

With that idiotic picture you have as DP? I'm not even going to bother to response much. Keep trolling the fuk out of yourself :)

[S2Killinit]

We have too many to buy them all.

[MysticStrummer]

"and then you dont even buy the frisking games"

Still repeating this old myth? You probably say "PS has no games" too I bet.

smh

[brew]

If I remember correctly , I think Yoshida described Sony Bend's next game as "panic" in one word. That would go along with the creatures.

[farhsa2008]

Please be resistance 4.

Bend know the franchise well.

[BlakHavoc]

Don't count on it, I think it has a greater chance of being Syphon Filter.

[king_george]

Syphon Filter would be a better choice anyway. So many people have been asking for it for years now and it would be an epic revival of a classic franchise. Had so much freakin fun back in the day with those games.

Imo, resistance should lay low for a couple years and then come back later as either a reboot or resistance 4. Preferably the former but thats just me

[BlakHavoc]

Syphon Filter reboot would be excellent, but I wouldn't be angry to see a new IP either.

[SaturdayNightBeaver]

I really hoped its Syphon Filter, but if its cinematic experience crap , then maybe some other time..

[NarooN]

Well the previous Syphon games were all pretty much cinematic experiences. They even started having orchestra-based soundtracks as the series went on.

[SaturdayNightBeaver]

yea when they began to suck. 1 , 2 and 3 were some of the best games ever. I still play them from time to time... and i don't know how you think they were cinematic experience ..

[NarooN]

You must have a skewed vision of what "cinematic experience" means. Gabe Logan shimmying his away across a girder at the top of the ceiling only to drop through it, breaking the glass below him and landing on the stone monument to infiltrate the Expo Exhibit was a cinematic experience.

Lian Xing sprinting across the prison walls with Yuri Gregorov only to then jump off said wall, falling into the ice-covered river below as an escape was a cinematic experience. There are countless other examples I could cite here.

And none of the Syphon games were bad, they were all great games.

[Gore-Content]

There's been a lot talk about Sony's unannounced games recently. This year's E3's gonna be a blast.

[MasterCornholio]

I always wondered what happened to them after Golden Abyss.

[WeAreLegion]

The last news was that it was a new IP. I'm betting on Eight Days.

[ssj27]

I hope sony announce and show us this year all the games they are making and may releasefor the bext two year.

There is this PS4 game by bend.
Two games by Santa Monica.
GG new IP and maybe another Killzone.
Naughty dogs uncharted and another game.
MM new game.
LbP3.
Quantic Dreams new game.
Team ico still exists so they can renounce the last Guardian but I bet they will not show it unless is almost done and near to release.
And GT7.
Team Siren should do a ps4 game( I hope).

they have so much to show, I hope they do show all of this on or before e3.

[NeloAnjelo]

Exclusives incoming!

[xXtremeHDGamerXx]

Syphon Filter

[AutoCad]

cinematic ? do they mean like quick time events?

[SaturdayNightBeaver]

probably , thats what make kids wet these days. really hope its not SF they talking about. dont wanna see my fav game of all time ruined.

[AutoCad]

true, i did like heavy rain alot but it can get boring too quick

[bligmerk]

It has taken a long time for Sony to even confirm Bend studio was working on at least one title for the PS4. Yes, please let the old rumors be true, a new Syphon Filter for the PS4.

[REDBEARD]

Please release The Last Guardian, Sony. It's been years!

[Kingscorpion1981]

I'm confident to say it will be Syphon Filter or a new IP that's very similar to it. Stealth action!

[PhillyG]

This is probably the wrong place to put this comment, but if I could get a game writers attention this'd be brill. Basically I'd live for there to be a gta or the old getaway type of game where you can explore large areas if cities..... But here's the clever bit.... Most games are nearly always based in London, New York and the real major cities. Why doesn't say a uk company start off with a game based in London, but then as time goes in, start offering downloadable maps for other major cities such as Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds etc, it could even be smaller towns, I mean I suggest major cities as, ppl
Who live in smaller towns will be close
To some major city so will be fairly familiar, and I think that'll keep
Ppl interested, I mean they can do one city say every 6 months, I
Loved the getaway as the graphics were brill n it was a brill feeling driving up one way streets wrong way, but you could have a city your familiar with n take short cuts, have the regional accents, and you could say have knowle west in Bristol as an area you have to explore carefully cis if the high crime rate it posh areas like Clifton where you
Could nick nice cars lol, but also you have places like Birmingham which has all the tunnels in centre which must be great to race through, whoever comes up with this game idea can keep making money adding new places, I just live to be able to explore rather than look at photos taken of an area, but also interact eg instead of just seeing a shop you walk past daily in real life, you
Could actually go in or climb
On top of a tall building n get a view you'd never normally be able to see. PLEASE SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS, I'm sure I'm not alone with this dream!

[Cryptcuzz]

What are you smoking my friend, because I want some :)

You're way off topic, maybe start a blog or something to express those kinds of thoughts.

OT: Syphon Filter on PS4 would be sweet. The devs are obviously passionate about that IP, so the time is ripe for them to do a reboot on the PS4.

[contradictory]

http://www.reactiongifs.com...

say what now?

[hkgamer]

Sony Bends making PS4 games, Ready at Dawn making PS4 games.... Who the FUCK is making vita games?

[Section8]

The Legend of Dragoon 2 or Heavenly Sword 2. Sony would be foolish not to produce those 2 in the near future.

[Rhezin]

SYPHON FILTER OR GTFO
