Jason Schreier has disputed Silknight’s claims that Sucker Punch were going to reveal Ghost of Tsushima 2 last year.

No, they can't announce anything because of the Activision deal, which is still being disputed in the U.S. Trust me, bro.
You had me at the first half, multiple years being exposed to those type of copes was not fun.

PS5 has been out since 2020, it's pretty clear at this point Sony isn't hiding their hand, they just don't have the games.

Yep, I also mentioned these two claims are bullshit: with a few exceptions (mostly Marvel related), most Sony game announcements since almost a decade ago have been made maximum around a year and a half before the planned release (but some of these games got delayed, leaving a window of more than a year and a half).

Regarding GoT2, AAA games now take 5-9 years to be released, and they released GoT and GoT Legends in H2 2020, plus its DLC+DC/PS5 version in mid 2021. Meaning, the release would be pretty likely somewhere between H2-2025 and 2030. So in the most optimistic case, they'd plan to announce it this summer. But considering covid delays, pretty likely the most optimistic date would be to plan to announce it next year.

They got many things right, things can change and information can get distorted depending on how many people it comes through.

I understand people can get tired of insiders and there are lots of people looking for attention but that account doesn't seem like an Xboxera: Nick type situation.

Maybe they had to give wrong info together with right one to not expose himself or their sources.
It is a tactic used by leakers.

But it's good we hear this. It's, like every sentence this guy makes it's another rumor and thread.

More rumors and threads are a good thing. If they have a degree of credibility.

Forums exist to discuss such things. They thrive on them.

Further confirmation that the recurring theory of short release windows is just cope for so few announced games this gen.

It was a fan made theory that people like to pretend is an established fact.

Sony Never confirmed they were doing the whole short release window thing so I wish people here on this forum would stop spreading that lie

That's the thing, very little communication so fans cant set expectations ans it leads to everyone being annoyed or disappointed in some way.

The theory never got updated when the long period with very few game announcements wasn't followed by a period of surprise announcements and short windows.

In fact the opposite happened, we got canceled games and a massive drought from their internal studios.

To be honest to this day I still can't completely understand what happened, what have their studios been doing all this time? Clearly they were not working on games that are about to be released.

Wow how quickly we are ready to discard this guy when he was correct about a few things. Insiders can also be wrong or Jason can be a mouth piece for damage control too... either way.

Sometimes it's good these discourse happens and it leads to revelations or eventual truths coming out.

Jason didn't debunk everything he said either, so clearly the truth is somewhere in the middle.

At the very least I wish they would give small developer updates in blog posts, some sort of communication with their fans would be nice. This silence doesn't help anyone.

Look at Sucker Punchs twitter and how sporadic their postings have been. How hard is it to just give an update?

I think the next showcase will be the turning point, if we still don't have first parties by then I think a lot of people are going to be up in arms.

I won't fall for it again, reminds me of people that made excuses for Phil Spencer.

I'm just tired of so many excuses and theories so I now have settled for accepting that something went really wrong with their internal studios this gen and game won't come anytime soon. It's the most reasonable explanation.

I've already settled on this being my last playstation generation, it's been disappointment after disappointment this whole time.

I can just go full PC next gen and play all the Sony PC ports with more features and free online.

Zero point in owning a ps5 pro or ps6
