A decent set of stuff and good to see a new SuckerPunch game. We know many of Sony's studios are working on things and it would be nice to know what on but give them time. Most interesting thing on this was the last one "The Midnight Walk", a claymation game? VR too? Sounds real interesting.

Yep.

The reveal of GoY, their next 1st party game, was right in time.

I have no doubt SP are on track of a 90+ game here. GoT was a PS4 game, I have no doubt the PS5 will give them enough space to do what they just couldn't do with PS4.

I was actually betting on Cory Barlog's new IP, but I couldn't imagine they would show it in a SoP, either. But I before the show, I was betting that Playstation will show ONE new 1st party.

I 100% believe that every PS Studio, Naughty Dog probably being the exception here, has something ready to show.

But Sony were always planning it cautiously. And that's actually very clever. Nerve-wrecking, because it demands our patience. But clever.

PS4 had the same odd cycle, start of the gen was filled with stuff then had a odd lull (although PS5 getting spiderman 2, HD2 and Astro Bot isn't really a lull) but it wasn't until the latter part of PS4 gen when we got Horizon, GoW, Spiderman, GoT and even Days Gone that defined the PS4's lineup. We are only 4 years into the PS5 gen, if we are to assume 3 more at most, that's a lot of time to show what they are working on.

Alas, this isn't the 7th gen anymore, where you can make a game then release a sequel every 2 years using the resource it seems.

That's true, yes.

I personally perceive the jump in engine coding as huge in regards of SSD I/O alone. That's 15 years of HDD coding now being past.

Sony's 1st parties are destined to fully use the PS5's hardware the best way possible.

This takes time.

And to all of it - you need to let the teams have a well deserved vacation, too. Not just some weeks.

I can imagine Cory Barlog's team was given at least half a year off after GoW and Ragnarök. If you watched the documentary of the reboot, it certainly didn't come without sacrifices for the staff.

At this point in time, the quality of Sony's 1st party titles is unmatched. It's almost a burden.

I am patient.

And Sony's still got very nicely grown relationships with developers like Kojima or even Rockstar I suppose.

Death Stranding 2 is on it's way. As 'Physint' is, too, Kojima's highly anticipated return to the Tactical Espionage genre.

I do believe though that Sony is indeed struggling to keep their schedule and pace up for the 7 year lifecycle of the PS5, which today is very short in terms of 1st party AAA development.

But I bet they are committed to deliver before PS6 arrives. I just really wish that Naughty Dog isn't caught up in something wrong. And if they are, that Sony knows what to do (or not to do).
