was it GopherD or Demonite that hinted some studio at sony was looking into/experimenting how light and dark affect fear? i think this is what they might have been talking about.
SOE counts. Or it's XDEV. But, I'm pretty sure SOE counts now. They did some shuffling around and now they're a WWS studio. I can't find the article...
Tizer? Lol.
It's obvious.

It would be cool if we got a Survival Horror title from Sony, would be cool if it was in space, since Dead Space is kinda dead.
**Beaten.
Damn, he is talking about Heavenly Sword 2, I kinda wish Sony bring it back or something.Not related but interesting nonetheless:
**Beaten.
Agreed. The system is dead and it was already out of date compared to the PS3, with PS4 out now it would be dumb to hold your studios back making drastically outdated handheld games that will sell about 10-20k in its debut month and less after that. They at least have the chance of making something special on PS4.
link to video?

Makes sense. Thx!
Or something underwater. Beyond had a great sequence there, which looked pretty dope even on PS3.
Nope, SOE falls under SCE not WWS.

hmmm, you know what you are right, an Underwater Survival Horror game would be neat, BioShock 1 wasn't a survival horror title, but it had a great atmosphere.
Scrape the idea of Space Survival Horror, we already experienced that with Dead Space, Underwater, Snow Mountains/Island, Desert/Pyramid, I'd like very exotic places.

I would absolutely go nuts over a horror game from Bend. The more AAA horror games the better. I'd love something akin to Siren / Silent Hill from one of Sony's studios on PS4.
Imagine Volumetric lighting / shaders / particles would really work wonders for the genre.

Hey guys,
Stumbled upon this rather interesting job description for ssm. https://playstation.taleo.net/careersection/sceaexternal1m/jobdetail.ftl?job=05637
They're searching for a sr. Level designer whose job entails open world design, designing ambient gameplay and side missions, designing navigation and platforming challenges.
Don't know if this was already known? Might be for Corey Balrog's game?

Is it the main Guerrilla Games team doing the RPG or the newly formed second studio that did the handheld Killzone?

Syphon Filter Dream is Dead 
I hope they're making a horror game of some sort. Something thrilling and that incites panic. It's not something that the other studios are doing to my knowledge.

They've already hired Shane Liesegang a while ago, game designer and writer at Bethesda, and he has a very strong interest in procedural content and the creation of huge worlds. Something big is brewing there at Santa Monica.
The devs who made Killzone: Mercenary are Guerilla Cambridge (known previously as SCE, they aren't a new studio at all. They underwent some reconstuction and now act as a sister studio to Guerilla Games.
As for the new IP which is rumoured to be an RPG, that's being developed at Guerilla Games. GG opened a new studio back in 2010 or so to develop a new IP, we know they've been prototyping for awhile now. Now that KZ:SF has been released I expect the main bulk of GG will be working on the new IP.

Cyberia, you made me remember that I want a Heavenly Sword sequel. DAMMIT.
EDIT: So Mr. Liesegang is with SSM? Mein Gott, the possibilities... The game's been almost 3 years in development... Hype is rising.

My eyes couldn't roll back any further than they just did.
Has Yoshida-san clarified to his 16 worldwide studios comment yet? I could have sworn that he has been quoted to only say there are 14 studios in WWS especially during E3 and GamesCom.
Perhaps he accidentally leaked that there are 2 acquisitions to be announced? Maybe Ready At Dawn and Quantic Dream? Both studios have kept a stance of "no comment" which could probably mean there have been talks.

I'm guessing Bend is working on a new zombie game. That is what I immediately think of when I see the word "panic". I would expect bend to do something closer to Dead Rising or Resident Evil 4 than Silent Hill or the old school Resident Evil's though.
Bend never disappoints.

Uncharted Golden Abyss was their worst game. Typical launch game I guess, filled with gimmicks. The two Syphon Filter games they made on PSP were a lot better.

Sometimes panic in a videogame is amazing. Like when you get invaded in Demon's/Dark Souls and you're completely unprepared, or running past a zombie corpse in Resi Remake and it jumps up a Crimson Head, and you shit yourself and run, or when you're in the hotel basement in The Last of Us, and when you turn on the generator several enemies spawn behind you. I'm sure plenty of PC games do it brilliantly too, like Amnesia, Day Z and SlenderMan. Sure, it's mostly present in horror games, but that's because it tends to be one of the few genres where you're not grossly overpowered.
Would love it if Bend tackled something like this.

Bend is a studio which has been prepped for prime time for a LOOOOOOOOONG time.
I am eagerly anticipating their next game since they did an outstanding job with the Syphon FIlter games on PSP.

Since all of the WWS are working on the PS4 now, I'm curious about Guerrilla Cambridge. Are they big enough to make their own PS4 game, or will they just help the main GG studio with their new IP and Killzone?

They have at least 6 unannounced games from their top studios. They have a lot in the pipeline from their extended family as well.
Certainly. Earlier this year Steven ter Heide mentioned that they have over 80 people working in Cambridge: https://twitter.com/StevenTerHeide1/status/300506403272003584
And now they are hiring:

I don't think I have ever played anything from Sony Bend. Are they well received at GAF?

The two Syphon Filter games were simply fantastic. Way better than MGS Peace Walker and even Uncharted DF.
The Resistance game is considered the best in the series as well
I could not have been the only one that called this the tampon taser.

I'm going to panic if it's as bad as Uncharted Golden Abyss. Only nine more chapters till I can delete this trash game from my Vita.

Aw God now I am hyperventilating thinking it's a new Jak game

... What's with the tag?
Hahaha. My same thought. I can't even bring myself to play it. It's an unnerving shell that looks like Uncharted but is missing all the quality.

It's like they played and studied Uncharted 2 to figure out why so many people loved it, then did the exact opposite in all aspects THEN tacked on a bunch of touch gimmicks to be like "hey look we heard cellphone games are popular XD"
I'm not gonna write them off just yet, but this game is gonna have to have some damn good trailers to get me to even pay attention.

The job listing is very broad.. But seriously weapons, animals, vechiles... It screams Jak and Daxter (and R&C)
Of course unless Bend is making a gritty Bubsy game
