HanCilliers3837d ago

You could include that as number 20

Agent_hitman3837d ago

The most memorable and iconic publicity of Playstation for me is the "Giant enemy Crab" and the "It's Riiiddddgggeeeee Raceerrrrr!" by Mr. Hirai. /s

sounds like more live service stuff....

Obscure_Observer28d ago

Definitely.

Looks like they haven´t abandoned their live service plans after all.

"Our first game is a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games. Players will inhabit a lighthearted, comedic world set in brand-new, mythic, science-fantasy universe. We can’t wait to reveal more."

At least it's not an extraction shooter. It's team-based, so not likely my thing. But perhaps it will at least add something new to the current slew of MP games out there?

YourMommySpoils28d ago

What's the LFG stand for?... Les. Oh, let's not go there.

darthv7228d ago

..well their definition is: The “LFG” in “teamLFG” stands for “Looking For Group.”

staticall28d ago

At least it's not «LandFill Gas»

"industry veterans who have shipped titles like Destiny, Halo, League of Legends, Fortnite, Roblox, and Rec Room"

"and richly social virtual worlds"

"where players can find friendship, community, and belonging"

"We will make immersive multiplayer worlds"

"but throughout live service as we continue to grow the game and community for years to come"

"Our first game is a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs"

Jesus. Does Sony ever learn? Like if they want to partner with them that's cool and all but buying the studio right off the bat? It's insane thinking after all the money they've just lost from Concord, not to mention the lack of actual hype for Marathon. Who is making the decisions here?

ravens5228d ago

This is their main multiplayer studio now. Hopefully nomore pullin teams like Santa Monica, Bluepoint, Naughty Dog etc into stupid multiplayer endeavors.

P_Bomb28d ago

Yeah, I’m not feelin’ this new project tbh. Another live service?

SonyStyled28d ago

They didn’t buy the studio. They created it

-Foxtrot28d ago

Buying it or not they still had to put a lot of money into it

They could have created a new studio to reboot some older titles or ones inspired by them. A JRPG like Legend of Dragoon, a first person shooter like Resistance or a platformer like Jak and Daxter.

TheColbertinator28d ago

The only way Sony will learn is through pain.

Extermin8or3_28d ago

Thry didn't buy the stufio they created the studio. Big difference.

Can't believe they killed Japan Studio, London Studio, and Pixelopus for this, Destiny, and Concord.

pwnmaster300028d ago

I get the rest but studio Japan is basically just team Asobi

Maybe they'll be able to keep Playstation console prices stable as a result. One can dream.

Outside_ofthe_Box29d ago

I doubt. Only reason PS console prices hasn't change is because Sony stock piled in anticipation of tariffs. 6-12 months at best until they announce their own increases.
