Playstation Studios [OT]: News, hype and rumors about PS Studios and Bungie
- Thread starter Gediminas
- Start date
Nobody said they have a GoW reveal. They shown a GoWR image that seems to be part of their 'live from PS5' marketing campaign to sell people that there is PS5 stock in the stores where they show some PS exclusives, being GoWR one of them.
So very likely it's only another 'live from PS5' ad, maybe more focused on GowR.
Maybe Loki, the "God of Mischief" is a better fit for MS.
No, you re not. Gow s all time popular. Sony should remake them for ps5. Its a free money. Played them some time ago, still great games.

I would love an X-Men game from Insomniac and this is what im thinking the third Marvel game will be.
She-hulk and it's not exclusive to Playstation, we 100% want Microsoft to share in it.
Hahaha. You PlayStation guys can keep that one all to yourselves. lol

Acquired/Merged
(Operating Subsidiary)
The studio was founded in August 2019. Add some extra time -at least half a year- to make some prototypes and pitches and build the team... maybe it would be too early to show their AAA game this June.
But who knows, knowing that the ABK acquisition milestone ends around there, depending how it goes Sony could announced at least the acquisition and a small teaser, or something like that.

So probably 2024 reveal is far more likely or maybe The Game Awards in December. We just have to wait and see.
Yes. Or who knows, maybe they make a PS Showcase or PS Experience (or a big State of Play) in December or something like that.
I think the ESA companies should boycott the Doritos Pope and to stop giving to his events announcements and trailers.
Well, this CLEARLY means MS should be allowed to buy Activision now!Ownership Status

They edited to 'M&A (rumor/speculation)', no longer appearing as Sony subsidiary:Ownership Status

TBF, Bluepoint did something similar and reiterated that they were independent, until they weren't.They edited to 'M&A (rumor/speculation)', no longer appearing as Sony subsidiary:
Why take so long to make that simple edit? Think that's been a whole week since it was first published.
This is not Sony or Ballistic Moon rectifying something they did/leaked by mistake as happened with Bluepoint.
This is Pitchbook rectifying something Pitchbook did.
Eh, there's a lot of smoke to this IMO. Colin Moriarty sniffed around and heard that Sony had done something with them as well. We already know that they're working on an exclusive for them and Sony have been buying small studios that have key staff who left larger companies recently. Fits their M.O.
Yes, it would fit Sony buying them if the project is very promising or if their team had the track record of having created AC, Watchdogs, Destiny, Apex Legends or some CoD, as it's the case of Bungie, Haven, Firewalk or Deviation.
Or having worked in top mobile games, as it's the case of Lasengle or Savage, or having the pedigree and VR skills of Firesprite, or being the top tier PC porting studio like Nixxes or the top tier remakes team + having a great top tier original game development pedigree like Bluepoint etc.
But the most similar Ballistic Moon has -some of them, not a big chunk of the team- having worked at Supermassive, in some cases not in Until Dawn but in later games, and some other guys with AAA working experince in different studios. Not very engaging.
But since Quantic Dream and Supermassive aren't available, maybe Sony wants to create a replacement team. Who knows. What we know for a fact is that Sony also worked with many 2nd party teams that didn't buy, and that the website that Moriarty provided to mention they were bought/being bought rectified, so we only have Moriarty's word.
According to Moriarty Bluepoint was working on Bloodborne, when they were working on God of War Ragnarok. He mentioned that they were remastering it and after it that they'd work on Bloodborne 2. But as Bluepoint said when acquired, they weren't working on a remake or remaster, they were working on an original game, that later we knew was God of War Ragnarok.
I'd take what he says with a grain of salt.
P.S.: at least you'll get a PS1-ish Bloodborne Kart.

Seems that the VR game Firewall Ultra is going to be one of the Sony published GaaS:
www.unrealengine.com
So as of new their over 10 franchises that will get a GaaS as of now are MLB, GT7, Firewall and soon TLOU plus the new IPs from Firewalk, Haven, Deviation an London Studio. And maybe, still to be confirmed, are the rumored Helldivers, Horizon and Twisted Metal.
Other possible options could be the new IP from Bend (it's has MP), Ghost of Tshusima 2 (the first one had MP, so they could expand on it or take the Ubisoft GaaS way), or the MP project being developed at Insomniac.
I assume they aren't counting there mobile games like the recent Sackboy Ultimate. We also have to remember that Bungie is working on multiple new IPs and that at least one is planned to be released before 2025, but where Sony mentioned the 'over 10' or a dozen of franchises that had a GaaS under development didn't include Bungie because they were talking about PlayStation Studios and still didn't have completed the Bungie acquisition.

I thought I readed somewhere, but I see they only mentioned it will have multiplayer:

They didn't mention it being or not a live service game. So I was wrong, my fault. I'll edit the post.
