I was chatting with my online buddies about Destiny and the evolution the game's made over the last 9 years that we've all been playing it together. The QOL features Bungie's implemented to make the game less of a slog and make the grind more enjoyable. I hope a lot of these lessons that Bungie's learned are what's being passed along to the other PlayStation Studios to prepare for their upcoming live service games. Live service games have to have a grind due to their nature, but don't let the grind crush any fun a person might have while doing it.
I don't think PlayStation could've picked a better company to bring on board for their live service expertise
Still crossing my fingers that TLOU MP will be structured closer to a title like Destiny or The Division. I'll play it regardless, but that style game is right up my alley. What's exciting is because there're so many live service games being made, chances are that there will be something for everybody. Even single player gamers could wind up finding something worthwhile out of these titles if they're anything like Destiny or The Division where you can still play them solo.

Sony Interactive Entertainment London Studio developing online co-op combat game set in fantasy London for PS5
Sony Interactive Entertainment subsidiary London Studio, which normally develops games to support new PlayStation peripherals and technologies such as EyeToy or PlayStation VR, is currently develop…

I am so curious to know how this plays. Spellbreak but in a modern city setting with creatures? Wonder if they are going for a manga/manhwa dungeon break story beat?
Very intrigued.
Nah dude Superman is legit. He has some amazing epic stories and awesome villains.
I hope they really lean into fantasy aspects. I could easily see this being just another battle royal or an extraction game with another riff of the Fortnite art style.
The main problem with this example that Superman doesn't do this stuff. He doesn't destroy stuff or toss enemies around or vaporize people with heat vision. So if you want Superman in space fighting aliens, you might get some of that, but if you want Superman in Metropolis, you're going to be so inundated with invisible barriers and failstates that it basically needs to be an adventure game where you just make moral choices and don't control him. People want Ultimate Destruction but Superman, and that ain't gonna happen.
But don't worry. I'm ussualy wrong about this stuff lol
I keep using clowns avatars because of it.
Best atmosphere ever made. Sadly I have zero talent to beat this game lol.
Still hoping whatever they're working on is their take on Call of Duty Zombies.Deviation game will have solo/ coop

lol, just a few posts after my last one and we're already seeing that there is indeed going to be content for the solo player with SIE's live service push. Great to see. It looks like there really will be something for everybody.
Off-topic but PlayStation's Deviation Games partnership is very smart. They have extremely talented developers. I am so excited for that game.Deviation game will have solo/ coop
I strongly believe that the new PS+ was hindered by the pandemic in a couple of ways. The new PS+ was probably meant to launch sooner in the gen, but they couldn't get it out the door until Summer 2022. Then there's the fact that PS5 hardware isn't in the cloud yet, but that should be rectified soon per Tom Hendersons rumor. Then there's the game selection - it makes sense that Sony would want to heavily push the games on the service once they actually had console stock to push. Now that the PS5 units are flowing freely, the PS+ service is able to finally start making a strong push.
Considering how many PS5's Sony are rumored to be producing next FY, I'm really curious just how many units they're gonna put into the cloud. A few million? More? They really only have to put in enough units to cover the PS+ Premium subscription base I suppose, but we don't know what that number is anyways. I do also suspect that the Premium subscription tier will start seeing further enhancements once PS5 hardware is added to the cloud and things start coming together.
Deviation game will have solo/ coop
Nice
This made me more interested knowing there will be solo in the game
Not off-topic at all. SIE's partnership with these fledgling studios is a great move and I hope it's continuing as we speak with all of the newer studios popping up. Why open up a new internal studio when you can form a patnership with a brand new one full of veterans that's in its formative stages, and work together to create birth a new studio into the world? It could possibly turn into a future acquisition for Sony (ie. Haven), or it could become a new long term partner for Sony (ie. KojiPro), or even if the new studio decides to chart their own course, then at least Sony and the folks at the new studio have worked together to add something new to the industry, and given it a good shot at success with the level of support that SIE puts behind their games.
It's win-win-win for everyone involved, IMO.
Speaking of Deviation specifically, yeah, I'm curious what they're cooking, can't wait to get a reveal.
Exactly!
I really like Sony's approach by exclusives and acquisitions.
Insomniac Games worked with Sony since 90s and when Sony acquired them we always talk about how productive they are. Not just quantity. Also quantity. They released Spider-Man in 2018 and its considered one of the best superhero games ever made. Followed by Spider-Man: Miles Morales in 2020 and a technical showcase for PS5 a year later with Rift Apart. Now they are releasing Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine is in development.
Same stories can be told for Naughty Dog, Guerrilla and Sucker Punch Productions. They are basically industry leaders.
As you mentioned, lots of new studios formed and I believe there are many Respawn Entertainments and Infinity Wards among them. Sony did really smart with Deviation Games partnership. And there are also some studios that I think has very bright future.
-Gravity Well (ex-IW and ex-Respawn)
-Embark Studios (ex-DICE)
-Humanoid Studios (Director of Mass Effect and KotoR)
-Something Wicked Games (ex-Bethesda and ex-Obsidian)
Yep love superman would make for a great game.
Since they don't have to be never ending you can do more with it.
Looks like they're leaning into the fantasy aspects tied into a London aesthetic with modern fashion. Big ass dragon front and center with goblins rushing the group.
Nier is getting delayed again.

These are the most wholesome tweets ever posted in any PlayStation OT.
I would really like to see what happened to London Studios, in the days of PS3 they had very good projects until they were cancelled. I think it could easily have been a far superior studio.
weren't they trying to do 8 days? Yeah, back then it was much easier to try and do a GTA-like game, today, no chance lol.
Yeah London Studio definitely had some ups and downs. I'm honestly surprised they made it this far without Sony closing them down (not saying they should but Sony repeatedly downsizing over the years). I think the Singstar games basically kept them away from the chopping block lol.
There was this job offer for their game last year :Deviation game will have solo/ coop
We are looking for a skilled Senior Game Designer who's written and scripted quest and mission content in AAA single-player or multiplayer RPGs/Action/story games. Ideally, someone who has worked in games for several years, executed on early stage rapid development and worked on co-op multiplayer games.
So maybe this game is not a big multiplayer game but a single player game where you can also play with your friends or there is other modes with co-op.
At least for me it's way more interesting then a multiplayer only game.
OP
OP
Eight Days was nothing like GTA, it was more like Max Payne.
The one that could have been more similar to GTA was The Getaway 3 but they also canceled it
There was no reason think it was multiplayer in the first place. People assumed based on the previous projects they were on. For all we know this could've been the motivation open the studio.

Cory Barlog also said something about telling a story a different way, wonder if something got shared between the studios
Tough sitch for videogame rumors in 2023. A vague line from a Twitch stream plus vague rumors from another insider somehow equals an article. And not a sniff of journalism was actually performed.Marvel's Spider-Man 2 & Wolverine May Feature New Dialogue Technology

I really wouldnt expect anything major, its likely just an improvement on the tech they used in the last 2 games for blending peter and miles talk on the phone normally or while swinging and at combat where they sound more strained.
It's been dry for first party news.
We take what we can get.
Could be lip sync for each language through AI, like Cyberpunk and the Wizard game already did.
GPT4 instance 1 prompt: act as Peter surrounded by two hard enemies under the north bridge. You are injured and can hardly move and deffend yourself.
We are Miles talking to Peter. Whisper API converts our speech to text and Peter answers via GPT4 to voice API.
mmm...
That would be nice.
Also hoping for Tsushima sequel will have better/parity Japanese compared to English dub for lip-sync at launch.
I find it amusing the supposedly native language of that game was treated as a dub & even the latest lip-sync in Director's Cut still not perfect.
SEGA even better in this with Like A Dragon English.
Woohoo! Glad to be in this video, though they are using MultiverseDreams instead of the PSN name I reverted back to (MultiMoo)
Tried to undo the change here on ResetEra too but was told I can't change my username anymore xD
EDIT: Fun fact about the footage of Epsilum - we have since removed a lot of the blood in order to be part of the Impy Awards nominations and all that jazz.
Hey, we're both on the list, how cool! Absolutely loved Epsilum! Keep dreaming.
Thanks! I have your dream in my "play later" but haven't gotten to try it yet. Will have to get to that ASAP.
