"The cynics amongst you will immediately laugh off the title of this article, particularly if you are one of the older gamers. How on Earth can modern gaming even compare to the purity, grace and innovative experiences of old, when gaming wasn’t asphyxiated by greedy corporate practice, a supposed dilution of the essence of gaming by way of exploitative measures and…shit like Fortnite. To that I say nay, oh jaded gamer. Whilst we have seen our fair share of successes and failures this generation, I truly believe the next generation will herald one of the best gaming experiences out there. Don’t believe me? Watch our video below and tell me with a straight face that it didn’t do anything to get you hyped. "
Gaz discusses why the next-gen could be the best generation of gaming.
Former Deviation Games developers have formed a new studio at Sony Interactive Entertainment in order to work on a brand new PlayStation IP.
Well that's an awesome and very surprising turnaround. Cheers to the new studio and what they'll build!
That's..... confusing, so shut down but just reformed and same employer 🤔 sounds like pretty much what happened to Japan Studio basically just being rebranded as Asobi
It is odd one I don't know how business deals work or the law of that kind of stuff. But is it possible Sony reached out and said hey we want you apart of Sony but don't want to purchase you for what ever reason. How about use disband and we will open a studio and hire you guys type of thing. Is that even possible?
I guess the deviation team fell apart and didn't deliver good progress on what they pitched (they overhyped themselves when the team was announced)so Sony shut them down. They regrouped with a new team and a new pitch so Sony is giving them another shot.
And this time they are keeping it quiet to keep pressure down on the team. So people aren't asking everyday what deviation(or whatever the new team is called) is doing.
Edit: Also Sony never owned them. They just ended their partnership with them. Deviation decided to close on their own.
Good point. You know, i was thinking of Days Gone too. They pitch an idea to Sony for Days Gone 2 but Sony didnt like it do they scrapped the whole thing. Maybe if a good pitch came by...they'd reconsider it.
To be fair, Sony didn't shut them down. Devation was independent. Sony pulled funding on the project they were working on. As a result, they couldn't run so Devation decided to close on their own.
Good for them that they were able to work it out. Hopefully they're developing something interesting.
Armored Core 6 is the modern, action-packed mecha game that deviates from the Soulsbornes formula orchestrated by Hidetaka Miyazaki.
WTMG's Jordan Hawes: "Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a great concept that was clearly pushed forward by a good writer and storyteller. There is a deep narrative here that I enjoyed and it really carries the whole package here. While it starts out as a fairly simple, run-of-the-mill metroidvania gameplay wise, it is unfortunately brought way down by its lack of polish and design. Too often I felt like I was fighting the game itself instead of actually enjoying a good challenge. While the story shines bright, its enjoyment is diminished by its frustrating gameplay design."
I have no doubt that the PS5 just like the previous PS series before it, will deliver an amazing generation with highly rated exclusives and new IPs. New standards shall be set.
Well written article that makes some great points, The quality of the video edit is excellent, KAIN Poduction does good work.
Hyped for next gen.
I can't say I care for the baiting opinion piece, but the video is pretty fricking awesome. Next-gen can't come soon enough!
That's what i dont think a lot of people are fully grasping here. This is the biggest leap we've seen in a while, probably since the SD>HD transition. The thing is the biggest leaps are not in how things look on the surface but how things react, how they're designed, how dynamic things are, how dense details can be, and how fast they load.
It's something that only shows with extended gameplay, which haven't seen much of besides Ratchet and Clank, the tech demo and halo.
Gonna be interesting for sure
I have no doubt:)
