I vastly prefer digital games over physical ones but 60FPS is worth enough to get disc version of this for sure.The disc version basically plays it at 60fps

Same. I buy collectors and special editions of games I like but I have most games digital including Last Guardian, but I got the disc version when I heard about 60fps
To be fair Sony didn't advertise the game at all and just sent it out to die. The first game sold a million copies on the Vita
As I mentioned, while they were working on the recent Astro other teams were working on internally developed games that got cancelled, mostly mobile games. After that there was covid released Death Stranding (2019), Astro (2020) and got restructured (2021).
After that they released Death Stranding Director's Cut (2021) and announced Rise of the Ronin (2024), Stellar Blade (2024), Convallaria (2024) and Lost Soul Aside (2024), Death Stranding 2 (2025). The next interally developed game is supposed to be bigger than the Astro games and could be released this (or more likely) next year, but I bet won't be as big as Gravity Rush 2.
The smaller weird indie Japanese games that in the past were 2nd party, now are supported by PlayStation Indies with Yoshida since he moved there to handle it, as is the case of Humanity, Eternights or Pixeljunk Eden 2.
No, these mobile games were in development since before 2019.
Not sure who greenlighted them becase I don't know exactly when they started, but before 2019 Shuhei Yoshida was in charge of PS Studios/Worldwide Studios (with also Shawn Layden as chairman during almost a couple years). As Jimbo predecessors, John Kodera in charge of SIE during a couple years and Andrew House before him.
Inside Japan Studio, I assume who decided their developments was their VP of Business Development, who later became "VP of Mobile Business", Mena Sato Kato. If someone becomes VP of something is because that is important for the company, meaning they were working on them for a while. Jimbo and Hermen fired her and cancelled any mobile gaming plans at Japan Studio.
She now works as director of partnerships in Japan for MS gaming, achieving a total of zero known partnerships since July.
Hermen and Jim were the ones who cancelled the mobile games and restructured the studio to put them make only console games.
They said Team Asobi moved to a new office of the same SIE Japan HQ building where they were and where they are growing. They said to be working on a 3D action platformer with humor bigger than the Astro games, in addition to multiple prototypes experimenting with current and future hardware that may end on being games or part of games.
Astro's Playroom was released 12 November 2020.
We are in March 2024, which is 3 years and 4 months later.
4 year and 6 months later would be May 2025.
I assume you mean SotC (Shadow of the Colossus) instead of SOTN (Castlavania Symphony of the Night).
Days Gone sold around 9M so far, which is great sales and a big success. In 30 years Japan Studio released dozens of internally developed games and none of them got even close to half of it.
Their internally developed dev teams got merged into the most successful of these teams, Team Asobi.
Same goes with their 2nd party games with the exceptions of Bloodborne, who started with low sales but ended selling 7.46M as of last week of February 2022 according to the leaked Insomniac document and Death Stranding (I think was 6M). Other than these two they never had a sales hit in 30 years.
Hermen and Jim gave their 2nd party team their own office where to grow and also handle games developed in the rest of Asia. Plus signed with Kojima Death Stranding 2 and Physint.
They also invested on FromSoftware and signed a deal with their owners Kadokawa to help them bring their games and animes to the global market, a deal where in exchange Sony got 2% of Kadokawa.
Yes, they and others like Puppeteer, Locoroco or Patapon were good and deserved more but didn't sell a shit.

By November 2024 it will be 4 years. Thats in about 6 months, thats what I mean. Thats if there next game comes out by November which I hope.
Yes SOTC lol.
My point is, its not just sales that matter. GOW 1-2 put together didnt sell as much as Days Gone. Jak 1 sold 4 million, same as GOW 1-2 sold around 4 million each.
But doesnt mean the old games dont deserve a comeback. Or Japan Studio games didnt deserve to stay. They made alot of popular games during the PS1/PS2 era. PS studio games didnt start selling close to 10million numbers till like 2017 and U4. Only ND games in PS3 days. Before that only Gran Turismo.
Id rather have SOTC and Ico both amazing games scoring over 90 on mostscores, over most games that sell big like COD or Days Gone. Demons Souls didnt sell great on the PS3, look how the other FromSoft games sold.
Most the time quality eventually gets what they deserve, just like how Insomniac, Santa Monica, Sucker punch started selling 10million, they didnt always sell those numbers.
Japan studios might not have sold huge numbers, but they had fun games, that didnt cost much and there output was high
Ok.
I'd love to see their next game being released this year, and I think it's possible for a game slightly bigger than Astro. But if the game is way bigger, let's say something closer to the scale of Gravity Rush 2 or The Last Guardian in development terms, which I don't think will be the case, then they'd need more time.
Yes, games in the PS1 or PS2 times -other than some GT and a few exceptions more- generally didn't sell as much as they do now.
But for the scale of the PS1 games, the Japan Studio PS1 games had poor sales. For the scale of PS2 games the Japan Studio PS2 games had poor sales. Same goes with PS3 and PS4. With the exception of Bloodborne and Death Stranding, both second party and not internally developed.
I agree. And I assume this is why after 30 years of financial failures they didn't shut them down and instead got restructured to put some order there and see if they stop making money pits and get more financially successful projects (in addition to being fun).
I wouldnt call them 30 years of failures. They clearly made there money back and more in the early days. Parappa, Everybodys Golf, Ark the Lad1-2, IQ, Legend of Dragoon all sold over a million. All decent sales. Parappa selling close to 3million in its lifetime. These werent expensive to make. SOTC sold over 1.5 million. Yeah its not GTA or GT numbers but neither were Ratchet and Clank, Jak or God of War.
Like I mentioned before, a game like Demons Souls didnt sell well comparatively and look at the series now and Souls games. One of the greatest studios out there with one of the best selling single player games in Elden Ring. Even Knack sold better than Demons Souls initially with 2 million copies lol.
Im not saying there were breaking records but they did there part for the gamers with great small games that were coming out frequently.
I understand the new Sony’s approach, but not every game needs to be a big seller and take years to create. They also barely got any advertisement for games like Gravity Rush, Last Guardian etc.
Maybe I would of just preferred if they stayed in name at least with hope of the smaller games coming back one day. They could of just called Asobi and Xdev Japan Studios. I still think its shame they wont work with Toyama or Ueda anymore, both made great games regardless of sales etc

You almost gave me a heart attack, but this is from the same guy who leaked it yesterday, so no confirmation as of yet.
Insider reiterates that the Gravity Rush 2 Remastered is still coming to PS5 and PC
This guy previously leaked some Gravity Rush related stuff (most recently - the movie starting production, and later leaked that it was going to be shown on CES). He was rambling about the Remaster coming for almost a year now, but he shared some additional information on the Team Alua...
icon-era.com
All these remasters and remakes only exist because of PC, pathetic how much they care about making their games available to PC compared to how little they cared when it came to patching games for new PlayStation or porting games stuck on the PS3.
To be honest I don't even understand it, given that these games sell so poorly on PC.
Ironically many PS3 games that don't run on PS4 and PS5 are already playable on PC because of emulators.

Gravity Rush, what a great franchise. One of the very few Vita-exclusive gems. I never played the sequel on PS4. Glad I'll get to experience for the first time remasted on an ultrawide OLED display.
A more accurate thread title would be "Rumor: Unreliable random internet user who never leaked anything else before and is a Gravity Rush fan said in a Gravity Rush fans discord that a GR2 remaster is coming this summer".
Please don't call random users claiming random stuff on internet a leak. Barely qualifies even as a rumor.
This is not evidence for the latest rumor, but the director is on record in 2022 saying he wants it to happen:
