Such a disappointment! Sony needs to own more studios. They need a big publisher there that pumps out content.
They need to let Insomniac / Ted Price run Playstation studios. Because they are the only ones making games it seems .

Insomniac are going to have released 3 new games since the last new game from Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch. They may even have a 4th out with Wolverine by then

Naughty Dog have been fucking and fumbling around with GAAS. Doing nothing on their next SP game while Druckmann fucks around on TV

Who even knows about Sucker Punch

Santa Monica are still in the good books but if we are being real we might not even see the Barlog game for another 3-4 years

If @Yurinka is right Bluepoint are just a support studio

Sony are seriously lacking in content production and all their investment has gone to buying shitty unproven GAAS games and a multiplatform self publisher

I can't believe how bad this was. There is no way to be confident about what is coming when all we got after 2 years was this trash.

If you have nothing substantial to show then simply don’t hold a showcase otherwise it is counterproductive.

This was simply a case of doing a showcase for the sake of doing it before Xbox decides to show these games.

If you have nothing substantial to show after two years of not having a showcase while you have a successful product like the PS5, please, just resign, you suck at your job. That is some Phil Spencer level of incompetence.

What is going on that studios are taking so long to have anything to show? Haven, Bungie and Firewalk only had CGs to show that they probably hired some animation studio to make.

I thought studios have been expanding and have been working on multiple projects?

Naughty Dog should of been able to even show us a bit of one of there games. TLOU2 came out 3 years ago and the Factions Team were working on the multiplayer game before TLOU2 even came out. Insomniac has shown and released more game in that time.
It was time for some surprises and 1st party games to be shown
it started development in 2020 after part 2 shipped

for example, they directors of the game all worked on part 2

Worst part of this show being garbage is that Yurinka was right, Bluepoint doesn't have jackshit to show yet have spent years teasing people about upcoming games on Twitter.

Insomniac are going to have released 3 new games since the last new game from Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch.
Sucker Punch apparently has a single full team, who released GoT 3 years ago and in the next year after it released GoT Legends and GoT DC/expansion/PS5 version.

Insomniac has 3 or 4 full teams: the Spiderman 1+2 one, the Morales+Wolverine one, the Ratchet one.

In the last 3 years ND released TLOU2, Legacy of Thieves Collection, TLOUP1, the Uncharted and TLOU PC ports, the movie and the TV adaptation. Last year Druckmann said that this year we'll see the TLOU Online game.

Santa Monica are still in the good books but if we are being real we might not even see the Barlog game for another 3-4 years
According to Cory SSM was working in 'a lot of cool things', not only in GoWR. After releasing GoW 2018, he said that he was going to take a 1 or 2 months long vacation with the family (after crunching like a motherfucker) and that after that (summer 2018) he was going to pitch a new IP to Sony.

Assume that they work and negotiate a few months and gets greenlighted in fall 2018. Add aprox. 6 years (considering some small delay, like due to covid) and you have an aprox. fall 2024 release.

It would have been likely to have seen it today. I bet that maximum in a year will get announced.

If @Yurinka is right Bluepoint are just a support studio
According to them in LinkedIn, Insomniac, and the GoWR credits they did work there as a support studio. And seems they're starting to build a full design team that is needed to lead their own AAA games. So I assume that after GoWR they started to work in another team as support. Let's assume they for there for around a year as they where in GoWR while they build their design team and start to pitch a game leaded by them.

After that they could lead their own AAA game. They have a ton of talent who worked in top tier AAA games, makes sense to see them evolving like that.

Sony are seriously lacking in content production and all their investment has gone to buying shitty unproven GAAS games and a multiplatform self publisher
Sony's output in recent years and their upcoming games announced seems to indicate it isn't the case.

Their plan is also to continue growing their development tems, both growing existing teams and in the mid to long term to continue acquiring, to invest more than ever before in first party games to release more games than ever before.

And well, also doing that when investing more than ever in 3rd party exclusives, both AAA and indie. According to him, Jimbo's plan is that PS5 will end having more exclusives than their previous consoles.

Coping mechanisms engaged for some. It's just like it looks. Don't fight with your own brain and be a sucker.

No point in getting heated over this showcase. The good games will come when they’re ready for release.
