Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotéi, and perhaps some Wolverine - that'd be great!
And then on the 13th Sony's going to have their Q3 (Oct to Dec. '24) earnings report. I'm pretty confident their report will be bonkers.
Interesting week in Playstation territory.
I’m hoping for some surprises! Bloodborne Remastered? Ape Escape? Loco Roco? GoW Trilogy Remake? Very unlikely, but would love to see it.
well…i was at least headed in the right direction with Ape Escape lol. Is it possible Sony might take Astro’s success as motivation for entertaining old IP? Knowing Sony, it’s hard to say, but i’d like to be optimistic.
Can we get a new first-party game announced that isn't cinematic or a live service game? Astro Bot is goated and that was a great reveal back in May 2024.
What I want is some PS1/PS2 game emulation or re-release announcements. Can't understand why Tekken 2 is available but not Tekken 3. And that's only an example among many (Give us SSX3!!!).
Sweet, not really expecting much from Sony this year but I hope we see the next RE game here
Unless the rumors of an NS2 exclusive RE game end up being true
Disappointing
Hopefully some well needed first party announcements.
Ghost of Yotei time!
Probably the only first party game we'll see lol
I continue to think it's crazy no one thinks Wolverine is releasing this year. Insomniac has three internal teams, and each one has consistently shipped a game every 4-5 years. Wolverine is from the Miles Morales team, which released in Nov 2020. This is the year of the claw lol
It's hard to know with Sony's new strategy. They announced and released Astrobot like 5 months apart or something crazy like that. They announced Wolverine at the start of the gen, Intergalactic looks like it might come next year.
Probablly because of a certain hack... It would be great it it does make it this year but no one is saying anything out of respect to them for what happened earlier.
If you are ok with getting info from the leak then wolverine is 2026 and Venom: Lethal Protector is 2025.
The venom game is almost certainly not happening now. they had two times liens and one had wolverine slated for 2025 and no venom game. everyone assumed that the venom one must be the more up to date timeline but its looking like the other way aroudn now that spider-man 2 no longer has dlc.
Oh wow I had no idea they had two time lines. Not sure how I missed that.
The schedule with Venom is almost certainly the most recent one as the staffing schedules also had Venom on it and there were never any staffing schedules for the other scenario.
Insomniac doesn't have internal teams. they have two studios but they develop the same games together. having each studio work on seperate projects is something that they reffered to as a failed expirement with Ratchet 2016.
When I say teams, I don't mean they are split completely separately from each other. Everyone collaborates together, and they all share the same engine. But - they do work on separate games, concurrently, with separate directors/art/animation staff. Miles Morales' Creative Director was Brian Horton. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart's Creative Director was Marcus Smith. Spider-Man 2's Creative Director is Bryan Intihar. This is how Insomniac Games is able to do this:
2016 - Ratchet & Clank (remake)
2018 - Marvel's Spider-Man
2020 - Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
2021 - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
2023 - Marvel's Spider-Man 2
That's five games in 7 years. In that same timespan, Santa Monica did two. Naughty Dog did two. Most other studios two, or one (though in the case of studios like Bend, that is sorta Sony's fault). Point is: those other ones work on one game, and really one title only, before moving onto the next. That is why Wolverine's release date should not be based on how far it has been since Spider-Man 2's release. It is based on how far since Miles Morales, since it is from that Creative Director and his "team" (however you want to define that).
Really not a fan of integrating Blue-sky.
You all realize it's block chain tech right?
Would really like to see more Intergalactic.
