I think playstation is getting serious for PSVR2. They are bolstering studios to accommodate a decent launch lineup in the next year or two. This studio doesn't seem that amazing, but like I said, it's gonna be another game for PSVR2.

Jay7671031d ago

Darkborn@ they not just working on vr games they also have job listing for a AAA game.

Darkborn1031d ago

They might be now but they helped firesprite with the persistence in the past. Firesprite is working on a VR game and 2 non VR games. So who knows where they will fit in.

Abnor_Mal1031d ago

I'm not sure I'm remembering this correctly, but didn't Sony create some initiative that for the PS5 many of their first party games be playable in and out of vr?

Maybe this company along with Firesprite are the ones to make those plans a reality.

1Victor1031d ago

Jay they might be working on the persistence 2

SullysCigar1031d ago

^ @Abnor_Mal, yes you're right, Sony are going all in on "hybrid" games that can be played flat or in VR. Their initiative is designed to make it quicker, easier and cheaper to take a flat game and co-develop the VR elements.

Darkborn is definitely right too, The Persistence is awesome on PSVR and bringing Fabrik under Firesprite could potentially mean a AAA The Persistence 2 for PS5 and PSVR2!

DarXyde1031d ago

I think you assume there will be no AAA VR games.

Damn, they keep getting bigger. Do they have more then one team?

Pancit_Canton1031d ago

I wish Sony would developed their own JRPG again instead of relying on third party developer. I miss Legend of Dragoon, Dark Cloud, and Wild Arms.

LiViNgLeGaCY1031d ago

Dude, for real. I miss those gems too.

Teflon021031d ago

Dark Cloud 2 is my all time favorite title. 100 agree with this. Absolutely loved wild arms 2 as well. My bro mostly played LoD as a kid while I focused on FFIX, so never had much interest in it, but always respected it

I hope psvr2 is like oculus ie lots of titles including 100s of cheapies. I hope half life alyx is a launch title

Monkey_Balls1031d ago (Edited 1031d ago )

What's cheap? PSVR has tons of good games under $20.

Is the industry hurting for money or not?

Hofstaderman1d 8h ago

They belong to XBOX. Its a dog's life....

Chocoburger1d 8h ago

Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.

Tacoboto1d 8h ago

Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"

Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.

GaboonViper1d 8h ago

Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.

Really nice story, kudos to Rare.

I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.

Damn was hoping for a fantasy setting. Looks futuristic

jznrpg1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though

phoenixwing12h ago

Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.

Name Last Name1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.

shinoff21831d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I hope not.

just_looken21h ago

With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony

So a live service shooter like concord.....

StormSnooper21h ago

It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.

Goodguy011d 11h ago

Been looking forward to what they have next. Looks interesting.

Eonjay1d 11h ago

Really excited to see them release an original IP

GaboonViper1d 8h ago

Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 10h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 9h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 9h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
