^^^ No way Days Gone comes out next October. Every other open world game will be running scared from Red Dead Redemption 2, which will a) sell about 20 million copies and be one of the biggest successes of next year, and b) Sony will probably have the marketing for, so it makes even less sense sending their own new IP to die in its shadow.

I mean, fuck - the end of next year is going to be a slaughterhouse for almost any game which isn't Destiny 2, Battlefront 2 and RDR2.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Im just assuming RDR2 gets delayed, theres no way devs can tell if these giant games are going to be ready a year in advance.

Game has been in development for 3+ years, but still its in early development as they just only finished core mechanics/ideas of the game and not ready yet

Studio is about 100 people

Sony's 2017 already looks set. Unless their's a summer surprise, there's no need to bury their games during the crowded ass fall.

not exactly first-party studio, but still:

I hope they're tackling something a bit more ambitious than Run Sackboy! Run! or The Playroom. I could definitely see it being VR.

doubt we can expect something big from them, because they're still a very small studio (~ 10-15 people).

Nahh, not expecting anything big per se, just something more than a demo suite and a lower tier mobile title. Those were nice ways to get the studio up and running, but now I'd like to see something more from them. That's why some sort of VR title seems like the logical next step, as smaller experiences fit well within that space and Sony seems to be craving content.

Three new interesting quotes from Japan Studio folk from this 4Gamers interview about their expectations for 2017

Teruyuki Toriyama, Japan Studio Producer at Sony Interactive Entertainment

[Zukkoyaki]

Studio Japan is shaping up to be the MVP of Sony's first party developers this generation. The Last Guardian was great, Gravity Rush 2 is looking stellar, Knack 2 has potential, they had a hand in Bloodborne, and they seem to have multiple new projects well underway. I'm hoping for a legit Triple-A JRPG but even if these new projects are small or experimental I'm in.

I'll take a psvr mode. Just don't make it an VR exclusive. Give me a Ratchet and. Clank sized budget for Ape escape, hell use whatever engine they used...Hell just let insomniac do it lol. They could totally pull off an ape escape

At this point I think it's safest to assume the big JRPG isn't happening. It's been a long time since he told us about that, and even at the time he said it was early days and it may yet be cancelled. Plus, that's not a genre Sony has ever really invested in and the heyday of the JRPG has well and truly passed now, so it seems to risky to do a massive mega-budget entry as their first attempt since The Legend of Dragoon (I think) almost two decades ago. Sony seems more interested in third person adventure games these days.

I would bloody love that. Just a reimagining of the first game, like R&C 2016 would be amazing.

But yeah, Allan Becker sure made some impact there after arriving a bit before the end of the PS3 era

Yeah, I'd love some smaller innovative games out of them this gen. If they're going to continue working with genDESIGN their next game should be a little 2 hour downloadable title.

Please have a Bloodborne sequel in the works. I don't need a billion of them, but one more this gen would be fantastic.

I'd be amazed if there's not a Bloodborne sequel. It's one of the highest rated games this generation and has probably sold 2.5 - 3 million copies by now (based on it having done 2 million by PSX last year before the DLC and GotY version were out).

 

[LastMinuteHero]

Does 2 bad games out of 6 constitute a bad track record?

 

[FelipeMGM]

You know what's good.

Also, is Gavin Moore still at Japan Studio?

Yes.

The real question is if he is still in charge of a team as a creative director there

Would love to get something new (or a Puppeteer sequel) from him

The only thing that makes me wonder is the fact that Miyazaki said he was done with Souls. My hope is that he doesn't consider Bloodborne "Souls" despite the similarities because Bloodborne has a lovely world, some phenomenal gameplay and bosses, and was just a fantastic experience.

 

[SolidSnakex]

As far as those 4Gamer interviews go, Yoshida said that while 2016 was a great year for PS hardware (Slim, Pro, and VR launching), he'd like for 2017 to be a great year for releasing games that take advantage of that hardware. So, I think next year may be a bit more active than some are expecting from them.

If it happens it will probably be more in line with FFXV where it's aimed at western audiences in addition to traditional JRPG fans. I get your point though, but I'll never stop believing

Don't see RDR 2 coming out in less than a year. May 2018 is my guess. Rockstar has never hit their original release date so until it actually happens, im expecting a delay announcement around E3 2017.

As for other IP's, out of them all, I prefer Days Gone. Don't care about Battlefront 2 and have no interest in Destiny. Probably won't happen but Days Gone is number one on my list out of all their first party games and sadly, it probably is 2018 or beyond. Really wish Sony stops showing games that are years away because it's depressing at times.

Nice. But...

Working exclusively with the PlayStation family of consoles, our studios and partners constantly push the boundaries of innovation to produce some of the platform’s best-loved titles. These include The Last Of Us, God Of War, Uncharted, The Order: 1886, DriveClub, Tearaway, Bloodborne, Gran Turismo and many more besides.

 

[DJwest]

What is Sucker Punch up to? Also, we need a sequel to the Order 1886.
