PlayStation Official PS | PS Studios Megathread, v.4

[Valhoven]

DEATH can have me when it earns me.
-Kratos​

Cerny Tribe,

Two years ago this month saw our v.2 thread grow to almost 7K replies. Now we usher in v.3 – an exciting time for the PlayStation platform – and we do it again. \m/



From bar-raising peripherals and tech others wish to emulate to memorable, ceiling-smashing games and console sales breaking industry records, Sony has been delivering for its worldwide playerbase **hooooooowwwl!** and continues to do so. In this thread, we celebrate and talk those achievements.

We lost good souls in the last two years. We honor talents like Kentaro Miura and Lance Reddick by playing the games they inspired, played, and co-created. Respect.

The exceptional walk a path of solitude, Aloy.
-Sylens​

Rest in honor, Kentaro and Lance. Below, thousands of Final Fantasy and Destiny players mourn in a language of armored pageantry and procession only gamers understand. Unforgotten, we celebrate you:

For Ken.​

For Lance.​

We've a 1-hour+ showcase on the horizon (24 May 2023). Excitement is in the air. BDE abounds.

Hi, sweetheart. I'm not coming home.
–Selene

A hunter is a hunter, even in a dream.
–Micolash

You have no honor.
–Lord Shimura
And YOU are a slave to it.
–Jin

I haven't thought that far ahead.
–Drake

I'm draggin' you to hell's deepest ditch, Dojima!!!
–Majima

If I get in trouble down there, you make EVERY shot count.
–Joel

I'm not going to let people die just to save my skin. You underestimated me.
–Miles

Waver not in your journey, brothers, whether it be in life or gaming. Let your shields absorb the arrows, and rise to fight the weaknesses and fear in ourselves.

You have a heart of gold. Don't let them take it from you.

Leaked lists with pictures like this are almost always fake. Some seem to have been backed up with others shot down.

 

[SwamiLeoni]

Decent list. Needs more Space Marines tho. I've been listening to Luetin09's 40k Lore videos before bed and I cannot recommend them enough. I listen to a ton of different things and his videos are some of the best I've ever heard. He's an incredible orator who effectively weaves a complex narrative into an engrossing story. You don't need to watch the video to submerge yourself in his videos. He should win an award for how good he is.

 

[Zazen]

Must be fake, already some news coming out that Ghost of Tsushima 2 won't be here.

Also, 25 reveals seems like an awful lot. 60 minutes divided by 25? That's just a bit over two minutes a game. I don't think it will move that fast. I think Spiderman-2 will have a length gameplay section that is 5 to 7 minutes long like they've done with the last two and Ratchet and Clank. Seems to be the thing with Insomniac's marketing.


I'm thinking more like 15-20 announcements with three or four of them being PSVR2. There's not enough VR stuff on that list.

I also think Death Stranding 2 will be at the Summer Game Fest with Geoff. He loves Kojima

 

[Zazen]

Stellar Blade is on the front page of the PS5 menus. Anyone notice that? I’m guessing we’ll have an official date within a few days.

 

[Valhoven]

Love this. This is buzz and the power of reputation from years of consistency:

Ryan on Spider-Man 2's 'no compromises':

As such, Ryan says Insomniac has been maximizing the new technical capabilities of the PS5, without being burdened by developing for the PS4 at the same time. Such was the case with Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales in 2020, which debuted on the PS5 as a day one launch title, but also came to PS4 consoles at the same time.​

 

[Valhoven]

Ryan confirms in interview the plan for Sony is releasing select games on PC no earlier than 2-3 years after launch on PS5, keeping the PS5 at the heart of signature Sony play. Some forthcoming GaaS titles may or may not factor into this position, I think, but sales for Sony means more money going into PS family studios and creative chance-taking + bar-raising game production, IMO. So all good either way.

Man just realized that Horizon 3 will have a different feel to it. He made Sylens such a hateful character throughout most of Forbidden West. it will be weird when we hear his replacement for the first time...

Trends continue in April sales for Europe per Benji c/o GamesIndustry.biz:

Rollercoaster of emotions this morning.

Saw I have a department meeting scheduled at the showcase start time.



Realizing it’s a remote meeting and I won’t need to be in the office.

All the preview embargos dropped for FF16. How the fuck am I supposed to go dark for a whole month?

I had to look at some just to see a bit more and man does this game sound and look good. Can't wait to play this.

I saw one scene and that was enough for me to stop. If it makes you feel better the preview is the first few hours which apparently will be similar to the demo releasing soon so we’ll basically all have this soon enough anyway.

Stay strong brothers @Sycho Sid @Zazen @method115

The only real thing I have heard is that the combat does not feel too much like DMC. You can tell the influence, but it's its own beast

I feel like it would have to be to an extent but I like DMC combat as well so I wouldn't mind that either. Everything I've seen so far looks great when it comes to combat. Just needs to feel great when I play it and we're good to go.

Are the guy who also plays The Legend of heroes series as well? I always forget who plays it. There's only like three of us I think. I know @Zer does but he's a few games behind last I heard from him about it. Just wondering if you plan to jump straight from FF16 to trails into reverie. I want to but not sure how burnt out I will be after FF16.
