Legitimate question, has Jade Raymond released any games since AC1? All I can remember about her since then is she starts a company, gets people/investors interested, leaves said company, said company doesn't really do anything, cycle repeats.
Death Stranding 2, Helldivers 2, and Rise of the Ronin are also PlayStation Studios titles. The xDev studio works on these games.
No, a PS Studio helping isn't the same as a PS Studio producing / making the whole game, that's a fallacious argument and I'm sure you know it.
Damn I forgot about DS2, 2024 is likely.This epic adventure in 4 months from now:
If FF7R doesn't count then DS2 which is a Sony owned IP.
So should we ignore xDev completely, one of the biggest PlayStation Studios? Those games are funded by PlayStation, owned by PlayStation, and worked by a PlayStation Studios team.No, a PS Studio helping isn't the same as a PS Studio producing / making the whole game, that's a fallacious argument and I'm sure you know it.
What makes it functionally first party?
I mean the thread title says PS Studios games. Sure it's great (and it pays off) that a Sony Studio helps for the dev of those games. But it doesn't make them "PS Studios games".
Sony officially calls them PlayStation Studios games.
The logo is just saying a PS Studio is working on it, at least to me. Like when you have the producer companies at the start of movies, it doesn't mean they made the game but just that they helped in some way.Sony officially calls them PlayStation Studios games.
One train of thought about the rumored expansion suggests that it may be sold as standalone game (similar in scope to Miles Morales or The Lost Legacy) and would actually be Bluepoint's original project, which has been in the works for the past 2-3 years. It is worth noting that Bluepoint already provided support to Ragnarok itself, and that their original project is confirmed to not be new IP but work on an existing franchise.
Regarding DS2, it may not be a best-seller in the short term like other Sony exclusives, but that doesn't mean it lacks a system-seller value. For instance, Bloodborne probably only sold 4-5M lifetime (and that's a generous estimation), but you can deny that it was a system-seller for the hardcore audience and a reason to own a PS4 early into that generation. DS2 might have the same impact on the Hideo Kojima fanbase.
The logo doesn't mean they helped. They only have this logo on PlayStation Studios titles, and the logo means that a game is a PlayStation Studios title.
This is a separate discussion, and we can definitely have that.
When the classic Kojima trailers will come in full force, and they'll throw in some more action sequences to please the casuals, people will eat it for breakfast.
Haven studios was bought the moment the studio was announced and now they’re making Fairgame$. A PvP heist game. Is this why Japan Studio had to close because I’d rather see Fairgame$ flop and Sony lose all their money. The way this industry works baffles me. Who is talking about Fairgame$? If your console has Apex and Fortnite, plus GTA Online. What makes Fairgame$ better? Rockstar is going to make billions off a new GTA Online.
I have to wonder how high the player count is for heist games. Those other games generate higher player count. I was thinking about overall player counts and where the majority of players are at.
Concord and Fairgame$ are both console exclusive.
Where does this idea come from? Sony has shown several games in advance. What do you count as a short period?
My thoughts exactly, yea the game could end up being forgettable. But the fact that PS acquired Firewalk showed that they're interested in their talent and IP.
Not just the IP. I think the biggest draw for Sony was the talent of Firewalk Studios.
They announced a few system sellers in advance -- Spider-Man 2 and God of War Ragnarok. And one game that would have been leaked otherwise, Wolverine.
yes please
Good solid point. I miss the games they would make for PSP and the risks they made with Japanese development houses. GaaS hasn’t made me a believer. After this long, I don’t know if I could believe. I don’t necessarily have faith when Sony has half of their leadership team leave after the last console generation. Combine that with how they’re combining all their studios into a worldwide structure doesn’t help either.
Hmmm, but I see the externally-developed Bloodborne, Firewall Zero Hour, Erica, MediEvil, Death Stranding, Iron Man VR, Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Destruction AllStars there.
I can’t believe Fairgame$ exists. Thanks for reminding me. Can’t believe Sony are pushing something that looks as bad as this.
Well ok but on the website it says "new releases and upcoming games".
I wish people would try to be less emotional when talking about things like this, because I swear this is practically unrelated to the matter.
And Spider-Man 2 is there, see how it's listed as an upcoming game instead of an already available one. The site hasn't been updated.Well ok but on the website it says "new releases and upcoming games".
Idk if that's considered a system seller anymore considering it's on gamepass and switch
I think you could definitely make that arguement for games that were announced at the PS5 reveal. Most of them were indeed launched within the year
Hard to judge given that we've seen no gameplay.
