while focusing on ps brand, sony is freeing up resources to invest in gaming market...and what a better idea than recruiting new studios?.....good move sony!!

MrSec843498d ago

I think Sony should create an exclusive indie division, to buy those studios, help support and develop them like they have with Media Molecule.

Housemarque would be a great studio to start with IMO, assuming they want to join worldwide studios.

q8kik3498d ago

Doesn't Sony Santa Monica make alot of small titles?

Forbidden_Darkness3498d ago

@q8kik: They don't really make them, they just help them with resources and such. Sony's San Diego studio seems to be doing the same thing now with Drawn to Death.

MrSec843498d ago

@q8kik: Santa Monica, much like a number of Sony's other studios help out with games from external studios, but they're still a AAA studio.

The kind of thing I'm talking about is basically having Sony recruit whole small, indie studios, buy them up basically to be exclusive studios for Sony.
In other words indies becoming Sony owned studios. Sony could make that into an indie division, that gets support from Sony and the whole network of indie studios.

They could all work from the same game engines made that core Sony studios have built.

The future is going to be all about content, so having as many developers, exclusive and creating quality content is going to be very important.

cruzngta3498d ago

Sony is gonna come out of all of this as a new kick ass driven company and as a result the PS brand will be stronger and better than ever imo. This is great news and I hope it all works out for them. They will always have my support.

anyone know what old school sony ps1 icon is for???? pop-up on ps3 other day after firmware 4.02

Jaqen_Hghar3497d ago

sony usually has about a 3:1 advantage in Europe which is why MS gave up there and didn't even slash prices on X1 there like they did in the US

Hopefully not a lot of remasters

Eonjay2d ago

Agreed, but if I could pick one game to remaster first it would be Killzone 2. If you had to pick one which would it be?

Mr_cheese2d ago

I know it's not the same but I'd love a reboot of resistance or warhawk

u-bEttA-rUn2d ago

If they announce Kill Zone 2 remake or resistance 2 that multiplayer would be crazy. But Warhawk I would cry like a 2 year old 😂😂😂 give me bloody roar

ravens522d ago

God of War 1-3, Ascension, Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus all in One.

RaiderNation2d ago

I love Killzone, but I would prefer a complete reboot of the franchise, using the newest version of the Decima engine, rather than simply a remaster of part 2.

SimpleDad2d ago

Sony will not do Killzone 2 or any Killzone because they don't have plans for it in the future... No TV shows, no sequel, no Lego game, no multiplayer...

This is dead for Herman... Only Aloy.
And that's sad.

Zero hype for tomorrow.

Kingrizzy902d ago

legacy of kane, resistance, or just something totally new that hasnt been already done

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Hopefully zero gaas, will show that they’re starting to reason!!!
And yeah the remaster trend must also stop.
PS5 exclusives or nothing go home

A new Killzone, Uncharted, Tsushima, inFamous, Resistance, Wolverine or something original single player.

CobraKai2d ago

Killzone 1. In think that needs a retelling

Profchaos2d ago

I either want something from the infamous franchise or the cheeky answer is being lemmings back as that's now Sony

DarXyde2d ago

Killzone 2 I think falls into remake territory.

I'll take a Warhawk remake or even a remaster but that's it, really.

Any remasters for a last generation game on a backwards compatible console is just insulting.

fr0sty2d ago

If they do any online only live service stuff, give us MAG or Warhawk, games that actually perfected that formula.

Eonjay1d 18h ago

@Kingrizzy90

Wow. And it looks like you are the winner. Completely was not expecting that.

only remasters, even remasters of games that aren't even out yet

DodoDojo2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Wrong, there will also be a 2 minute snippet of Lego Horizon.

bloop2d ago

If they don't show something from a couple of their big studios after the absolute disaster they've had with Concord then I'll lose all hope. This generation has been a complete letdown so far and there's very little to look forward to at the moment.

RaidenBlack2d ago

Pretty sure : RE9, Days Gone Remaster, HZD Remaster, 1 last SH2 trailer, Wolverine trailer, Until Dawn trailer
Maybe(s) : GoT 2 announcement, DS2 (but already happening@ TGS), Pragmata, TLOU2 or SpiderMan 2 PC announcement,
Wishlist : Santa Monica & Naughty Dog's new project tease, Marathon gameplay trailer
Don't Want : Any AC Shadows trailer, Any more remasters other than the ones leaked

Eonjay2d ago

You really think that other remaster is Days Gone? And my God what happened to Pragmata?!?

seanpitt232d ago

It’s 30 minutes, I think you’re being optimistic there, don’t have high expectations, I know mine are the lowest they have ever been since what i have witnessed these past 4 years!

crazyCoconuts2d ago

Agreed w/ Sean. Keep expectations low.

Juiceup2d ago

jfc what is this trash lineup Sony please

Rainbowcookie1d 17h ago

Injustice 3 I'm calling it 😃

Christopher2d ago

Only 5 remasters. They had to cut back to squeeze in 1 new announcement. They will have another SoP next month to cover the other 12 remasters.

-Foxtrot2d ago

*monkey paw curls*

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered

Gravity Rush 1 & 2 Remastered

Until Dawn Remastered

DarXyde2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

In the case of Gravity Rush, a remaster of a remaster that plays on PS5 now would be bizarre. Then again, so does Horizon.

This only makes sense if it means a PC release, but they still closed the studio and releasing this would be very poor taste.

potatoseal2d ago

I'm presonally looking forward to a Days Gone one. Would love any excuse to play that game again. I loved it

darthv722d ago

Why wait for an excuse... just go play it now.

CobraKai2d ago

Im thinking showcasing Pro versions of existing games.

neutralgamer19922d ago (Edited 2d ago )

They could do a lot right by simply announcing a blood-borne remastered so many people have been waiting for it and they should not only bring it to PlayStation 5 but also PC

If they are all intent on doing a lot of remasters, how about doing some of the remasters from the games during the PlayStation 2 and three generation instead of PlayStation 4 games?

Can we get infamous collection? Can we please get Socom from the PlayStation 2 generation? Uncharted trilogy God of war trilogy twisted metal collection, kill zone trilogy, resistance trilogy some of these games they can simply just unlock online multiplayer. They’re only one need to do a lot of work and people would enjoy them

But instead, let’s just remastered the last of us horizon zero down the God of war 2018 this PlayStation Sony executive bosses are some of the most idiotic in the past 10 years

PlayStation has such a long history. They can simply do a lot of fun service and get so much positive PR but they keep making the same mistake again and again and again.

Rimeskeem2d ago

I would honestly prefer remasters/remakes/reboots of games than GaaS they have tried to push.

TheEroica2d ago

Release the remastered games on the sheep!

JackBNimble2d ago

Hahaha... I was going to make the same joke.
That's all they have

INMATEofARKHAM1d 17h ago

Concord Remaster here we come!

RaidenBlack1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Lol, but like most I was expecting a 'Playstation showcase' but looking at how brief the Pro reveal was ... I am guessing these short State of Plays á la N.Direct style is how Sony is going to continue.
The next big PS showcase is gonna be the PS6 event. Till then all will be SoPs.

Hopefully there's good games, but we'll see. Going in with low hype, and I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

What do they expect !? the ones that failed are just knockoffs of existing popular games usually releasing alittle too late. Their multplayer offering haven't been good since ps3 and even later on in its lifecycle it started to chase trends like how Killzone 3 & SF tried to copy CoD compared to KZ2. Honestly I can't believe they gave up on LBP, technically not a live service but man I spent so much on DLC and costumes , Warhawk and KZ2 and their expansions . Demons Souls which I spent the most time playing was one of the most unique multiplayer experience ever . All the resistance games were just awesome .. but since ps4 I haven't enjoyed any 1st party multiplayer offering . Marathon might be alright but do they really think a Horizon mmo/mp is a good idea .

refocusedman17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

how abt they remake warhawk as a live service game. that would be awesome. maybe MAG, bring back killzone resistance.... cmon sony stop trying to reinvent the wheel when you alreafy have tires in your garage.

porkChop17d ago

I could see Warhawk really working as a live service. Between the weapons, vehicles, warhawks, etc , there's plenty of opportunity for cosmetics. As long as the gameplay loop doesn't change too much from the PS3 game, that shit was unlike anything else and I loved it. Just keep releasing a new map every few months, and keep things fresh with new gameplay modes/events.

RaiderNation16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Agreed. Likewise with Twisted Metal. That game could work very as a live service game. Just follow the Rocket League format and it could be great!

Not all "live service" are bad. They just need to be well thought out and make sense.
