I don’t think, it’s aesthetically proven. So ugly, that it needs to go through the dishwasher again.

Do we really have to have a conversation about the subjective nature of art?

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

The fuck is puzzle action

Right?!?

 

[Fake]

Shuhei Yoshida need to be the new ceo asap.

 

[Mabdia]

Ok... I guess.

I really miss Shu as the head of WWS... I really miss Andrew House as the head of Playstation.

Sony buying Valve confirmed.

I know it is a Joke. But there is a limit to these kind of jokes. Can you imagine how Sony would handle Steam? A lot of good games should be banned and a lot of others censored.

Ohh, I would love to see Sony's reaction to the adult visual novels on the Steam storefront.

Puzzle Action is definitely Portal 1/2.

If it was Portal 1/2 it should write it and not say it is an unreleased game.

But it could be Portal 3.

 

[FrankWza]

Lies of P?

just thought about it and he says "unreleased" not "unannounced"

 

[skit_data]

Could be Salt & Sacrifice but it’s kinda wierd of him and Hulst being all wierd about it.

I have a hard time imagining valve would allow Sony to be the first to even hint at this.

Gabe and Valve's love affair with Gates and Microsoft goes wayyyyyyyyy back. He has always treated PS odd, from delaying releases on it (hello Orange Box and Portal) to never really talking positively about it while praising MS bs.

Don't get me wrong, I respect them and they are allowed to have their view - and maybe it isn't like that anymore between the 2 parties. Just can't imagine Sony being the ones to hint at this.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Would the Abandoned ARG be considered puzzle action? heh

 

[arvfab]

Isn't Stranger of Paradise a Soulslike?

Colin Moriarty says new souls game is coming and its not by From

Guy is pinpoint accurate when it comes to playstation he leaked demon souls remake a year before official announcement so i believe him

Finger crossed its bloodborne 2

 

[Zeroing]

Pretty straighforward, Yoshida san posted his last 5 played games with a big tease, getting a reply from Mr Hulst himself.







Are we allowed to dream about Bloodborne again?

Nioh 3 maybe?

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Those two should just get a room.

 

[K2D]

The smugness...!

This is carefully orchestrated marketing. Get Excite!

Bloodborne PS5 compatibility sounds reasonable, but they should keep that under wraps for awhile so they don't steal Elden's thunder.
Portal 1-2 are the poster boys for the Puzzle Action genre. Maybe Playstation and Xbox will get the collection too.

But "unreleased"? Makes it doubtful

This is obviously PR because Shu thought Demons Souls was one of the worst games he'd ever played

Before it released that is. The game was pretty rough in the full release, pre release before it all came together its not hard to imagine it being pretty bad. He has changed his opinion

I feel one of Sony’s biggest software mistakes this generation was passing on publishing Demon’s Souls in North America and Europe.

Absolutely! Tell me about it! 100 percent agree!



How did it happen? Was it as simple as this game wasn’t going to sell? How involved were you?

In short, that’s what happens to any game. Especially games made in Japan since the majority of them aren’t relevant to markets outside of Japan. There are always processes between product development and marketing in U.S. and Europe. All things considered, it’s part of the issue of making games in Japan. The game development in Japan typically is made horizontally where all assets are made in parallel, so it’s difficult to figure out what the final state of the game is going to be.

The western style game development is typically a vertical slice. So in the very early process, the team tried to create a small piece of the experience that resembles the final product. What happened with Demon’s Souls was until very late in the game’s development, we were not able to play the game through. There were framerate issues and the network was not up and running. We underestimated the quality of the game and to be honest, the media in Japan did the same.

For my personal experience with Demon’s Souls, when it was close to final I spent close to two hours playing it and after two hours I was still standing at the beginning at the game. I said, “This is crap. This is an unbelievably bad game.” So I put it aside.

Luckily, third party publishers, Atlus in North America and Namco in Europe [stepped in], and it really became a great hit outside of Japan.

We definitely dropped the ball from a publishing standpoint, including studio management side. We were not able to see the value of the product we were making.

Wonder if he means Stranger of Paradise.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Bloodborne II.

Seems dumb to release a soulslike anywhere near Elden Ring.

Especially that ugly shit

 

[Knightime_X]

Soulslike is probably literally any game that copy paste souls genre.
And it's likely most definitely NOT bloodborne.

So who cares..

 

[Oddvintagechap]

No way.. can it be..


Knack 3. fuck, better not be cross-gen. Better be exclusive to PS5.

 

[Tschumi]

Mortal Shell 2 inc

 

[Melchiah]

Pretty sure he later changed his mind, after all he went on to greenlight Bloodborne as a first party production.

And he platinumed Bloodborne, plus seemed to enjoy Let It Die as well.

Would Sony get the DBZ license if they bought Bandai?

 

[Pedro Motta]

portal?

Even better: Portal VR.

 

[CosmicComet]

It's a sad state of affairs that Hermen Hulst is now Shu's boss.

Not only is Hulst a dry, charisma-less bastard (like a lot of the Dutch admittedly), his 1st party decisions have been garbage.

1st party under Shu was far better, far more diverse in output.

 

[Salz01]

Maybe one of them is Stray. It’s been like forever since they’ve showed anything and it was supposed to release some time soon. I want to see more of that game too. At first reveal I was like whatever, but that last walk through looked great.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Daym son

But bloodborne 2 is still hapenning

Lets do it

Welp this speak for itself

There is already a thread on this I think.

I miss Shu. What a great guy.

It’s salt and sacrifice

 

[Skifi28]

It’s salt and sacrifice

I don't know about sacrifice, but I can see the salt from all the people hyping the tweet.

 

[onesvenus]

I love how the OP assumes those to be HUGE games

 

[anthony2690]

I feel like people are unaware that Shu handles the indie side of things at playstation now.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Didn't really enjoy Salt and sanctuary so probably gonna skip the sequel. So many better games out there when it comes to 2D Metroidvanias/ Souls-like. Also didn't like the artstyle.

 

[kingpotato]

 

[bitbydeath]

It’s salt and sacrifice

He’d say the title if it was already known.

 

[yurinka]

Considering he greenlighted Knack, I'd bet it's Knackborne

 

[Abriael_GN]

I fail to spot the word "huge" in there.

Remember that Yoshida now works on indie games and VR.

 

[Ceadeus]

I don't know about sacrifice, but I can see the salt from all the people hyping the tweet.

Nan i heard it's Pepper and Church 2 : Pope Awakening
