Sony Bend could make a killer Syphon Filter game. The PSP games were fantastic! But I dunno, I think the IP is dead

Wasn't Sumo Digital rumored to be working on a PS3 exclusive for 2013 (possibly LBP3)? Is that still viable?
If so, I can't see them announcing it any later than E3.

Wasn't the Kaz PSP Riiiidge Racer from that year? If so, they at least were showing off PSone games on PSP.

Imagine that happening on the PS4. That's all the pitch you need to get a new Syphon Filter game greenlit.
Hahah oh man.
The Syphon Filter games are on PSN, right? I may have to revisit them. Hope I'm not burned by nostalgia.
Bend have been a handheld studio for a while and I think that's how they prefer it.

nope, I think they are working on the next Uncharted though (for PS4)
Playing SF1 on a 1080p TV is a sight to behold. Pixel counting has never been easier!
Sony took KZ identity away with KZ3 and same with Socom 4 just to cash in on the mass shooter audience. They could take the risk but I also wouldn't be surprised if they threw SF under the bus either.

Agreed so very much with this. Even Nintendo got cinematically greedy with Skyward Sword and that scares the hell out of me. I think there's a place for everything including cinematic titles but Jesus Christ.
edit: I think I quoted the wrong post but I'm on my phone =/
I usually avoid this topic because the counter argument is always something about being old.
Be ready to revisit those controls and taking wide ass turns around corners.
Not since the PS2 days. They did Omega Strain. Did they also do the PS2 ports of the PSP games?

What game was that?

They ported Dark Mirror to PS2 I think
Syphon Filter: Omega Strain (and then the ports of the PSP games). Bend has developed every Syphon Filter game.

Just remember, both Guerrillas, Evolution Studios and Media Molecule are included in SCEE, so yeah, they have at least 4 games in the making for PS4.

oh wow, I didn't know this! So Bend is basically 989 Studios
Evolved1
make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
It's actually a perfect IP for a new-gen reboot.

Well I don't know about you guys, but I for one cannot wait to see Syphon Filter 4, Ape Escape 4, MediEvil 3, PaRappa The Rapper 3, Jumping Flash! 3 and Rollcage 3 unveiled at E3 this year. It's about time I say!

Dang, there were seven Syphon Filter games? Looks like it had a good go of it even if it doesn't return.
I would like to see Bend working on another Uncharted Vita, especially if it has multiplayer this time. Just give me a TPS on Vita with multiplayer.

Wasn't there advertisements last year on the official playstation jobs website seeking graphic artists for a visually ambitious, AAA title at Sony London - I doubt that studio is working on Eyepet for PS4.

Oh yeah, almost forgot about Heavenly Sword 2.

Honest question, but do you think what you've seen from sony so far regarding the ps4 is even remotely similar to sony in those days with the ps3?
Because to me, sony has completely redeemed themselves from whatever the fuck they were doing back when they launched the ps3.
They invested heavily in their 1st party studios and we have some great 2nd party deals lined up. Regarding 3rd parties, it's still unknown (in terms of exclusives) but they already have the support of activision-blizzard, ea, square-enix, ubisoft and others. You even have them doing an incredible push for indies, which is a personal favorite for me. They're going for a powerful games machine, easy to develop for.
I agree with you that yeah, they won't be perfect, nobody ever is. But seeing mark cerny on stage for the ps4 unveil really showed the difference in approach between old and new sony. I really want to see mark cerny on stage for e3, he's such a refreshing image for sony.

Wait what? I was talking about Primal!
Zeal was full of shit from the start. He heard a few things and twisted them to his own liking.
Wasn't Nariko featured in a sizzle reel for PS4 in February - the recent announcement of a movie as well confirms renewed interest in the franchise.
Factor in an appearance by the head of Ninja Theory in the PS4 developer video and we could potentially be looking at a sequel to Heavenly Sword very soon.

Lol. But in all seriousness, I will throw the mother of all tantrums if we don't see Gravity Rush 2 at some point in the coming months. If it's in the making and it's omitted from E3 then I understand, because it's likely to be a packed event, but a no show at TGS and I will be handing out sandwiches... of the knuckle variety.
I wouldn't complain. Not a great game by any means, but that's what sequels are for - to write the wrongs and improve on the predecessor. There's a lot of potential where Heavenly Sword is involved.

That studio needs a lot of luck, they should put their next game on each and every console.
Well it doesn't make a lot of sense for both Sony and Guerrilla to talk about an other game PS4 game when they have Killzone 4 to promote for launch.
Media Molecule also seems a better fit for Gamescom, they're trying to do something more creative and it needs more space to be understood, something they can't have at E3 considering the amount of things they have to talk about.
Santa Monica and Naughty Dog both seem very comfortable and well fit for E3 events
I'd be disappointed if after promoting TLOU, Naughty Dog didn't show what's next even if it's just a 'vision trailer' like the Uncharted 2006 trailer.Quantic Dream has already showcased something about their new PS4 game/technology so maybe now they're ready for the next step (notwithstading the fact that Beyond could be a PS4 launch window title as well...its release has been delayed for business reasons).
And let's not forget about Ready at Dawn.
I was thinking about these things as well.
Too many coincidences, also Tameem Antoniades was in the official PS4 developer trailers among with Yamauchi, Stig Asmussen and others. He seemed a bit out of place...unless...
Maybe they're really trying to give HS an other chance? Although it's not something that Sony usually tends to do, when they're done with something...they're usually done
I think I can investigate on this
I don't know if I'll be successful though =)We already have the Cerny method, now we have the Cerny Effect. I absolutely agree though, I'd rather see Cerny on stage in E3 detailing the new UI and such than anyone else. I don't think that's going to happen, but I could be wrong considering that Cerny is the lead on the PS4 development.
Speaking of Cerny though, are people here interested in Knack? It grabbed my curiosity during the PS4 reveal, but the more I look at it the more I think it could be really quite good. I'll most likely be picking it up.

The only excuse I will accept for no GR2 is if Sony has moneyhatted Silent Hill IP and put Team Siren on the job.

lol. Yeah they're all dead and done with.
Never even noticed that, that's very cool!!
If Heavenly Sword 2 does become a reality, Sony will probably aim to rope in the God of War fans with similar gameplay - I don't think we'll be seeing a glimpse of next-gen Kratos until E3 2014 at the earliest.
Honestly, if SONY can make a blockbuster GETAWAY game and put in the quality and detail similar to GTA games, I REALLY think it could be a success in the UK and help them a lot there, and worldwide.
I mean as 1 to 1 location as possible, include the main cities that you can travel to and such, focusing on the usual underground crime and stuff.
Could be big. Sleeping giant franchise IMO.
Why I think just? Just do.

in hopeful sony actually seizes this opportunity and doesn't fuck up simply for the sake of japanese console gaming. wii u is a total non-starter and neo-microsoft couldnt give less of a shit about japan.
i'd like to see an aggressive courting of japanese developers much like microsoft did circa 2006-2007.

I'd be shocked if we don't get a GR 2. It's just a matter of time.
Initially? No. But I've warmed up to quite a bit, and am now really looking forward to it.
