The Official PS4 Thread - Part 5

Yeah being able to categorize them would be good,I would remove or hide the What's New screen and move over the games into the Library box and have them appear similar to PS3's What's New screen

PS4: Killzone Developer's New IP Over Two Years Into Development

Killzone: Shadow Fall developer Guerilla Games has revealed that their next PS4 game has already been in development for a long time, meaning it could be coming sooner than expected.
Published on Feb 25, 2014

Killzone: Shadow Fall developer Guerilla Games has revealed that its next IP has already been in development for over two years, meaning we could be getting a new Guerilla PS4 game sooner than expected.

In a video showing off the Guerilla offices, spotted by Dualshockers, executive producer Angie Smets said that Guerilla have been working on their new IP for two and a half years.

It had been assumed that, given that Guerilla only recently shipped Killzone: Shadow Fall, their next PS4 game would be some way down the line.

News that a significant amount of development time has already gone into Guerilla's new IP means that we may not have to wait as long as expected.
There have been rumours that Guerilla's next PS4 game will be an open-world RPG as well as suggestions that a reveal of their next game is not far off.

Do update files get interrupted if I watch stuff on Netflix or dvd?

They don't seem to for me.

How did Sony lose $1 Billion?,when was this?

I don't know what's going on.......

I think their TV division is struggling.

but you figure with all the Playstations they're selling......they'd be making money.

 

[zenith16]

I'm not sure. I did hear something about it from the people from EPD.Tv/ROTR that some one at sony told them about this, but that person that told them this couldn't head into full details (maybe he would have gotten into trouble some how at the time ) and now the details are starting to slowly come out cause it's was hard to hide it now. I'm sure we'll find out more later. but it's been some what known in certain places. It seems any way.

Sell Spider-Man back to Marvel and Naughty Dog to Microsoft. Those are multi-billion dollar deals. Spider-Man would be hard to justify since Sony Studios doesn't have many big franchises. The Playstation division has first-party developers to spare.

And it's been pretty well reported that Sony as a company has been struggling. The billion dollar loss is old news.

 

[zenith16]

My jaw just dropped with that. i don't see Sony doing that at all. that would be seen as madness.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

lol I'm sure they won't. I'm just saying they have the assets to make big moves.

 

[X Knight]

I think they should just spin of the games/entertainment division ( all the Playstation stuff ) as a separate company.

MS should do the same with XBOX.

I can't tell if you're serious or not.

Sony and Microsoft are integrating their consoles far too much with their other products to justify a division.

EDIT: On a side not, I personally think that Sony should be aggressively expanding Sony Computer Entertainment, Sony Music Entertainment, and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I don't think either could survive without a parent company. And I'm serious if they wanna make a lot of money right now. But it would be bad long term to lose Spider-Man. I think they could spare Naughty Dog.

Definite madness lol

 

[JaD]

There would probably be riots in the streets for all I know. Hell, I'd be looting stores dressed as Crash Bandicoot.

 

[TX85]

So has anyone broadcasted on twitch or ustream?,I streamed me roaming around on DC Universe Online a bit on ustream the other morning,I probably won't be broadcasting much but I really like having the option to and I like seeing others stream their games,It literally took me a few seconds to set everything up and had a couple of viewers in which most of them stayed the whole time,so that was cool and was surprised I didn't get any hate comments.

I enjoy taking screenshots and recording for my own viewing

Im sorry but those would be incredibly stupid. So give the competition ammo to further put them in the hole? That doesn't sound like a bright idea. Naughty Dog is their biggest first party and getting rid of them would most certainly cripple the PS brand. Its not a studio they afford to "spare"

 

[Yeti_Hunter]

I'm pretty sure the gaming division is separate and given the success of the PS4 they are back in the black after losing money on the PS3.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

The gaming division is in the black now but the whole company is deep in the red. The SSM layoffs could be seen as an affect of the companies overall financial problems.

Not really. Sony has come out saying that because the PlayStation division is one of Sony's best divisions in terms of profit and revenue, that the recent layoffs really aren't affecting Sony Computer Entertainment.

The layoffs at SCE Santa Monica has more to do with Sony canceling Stig Rasmussen's new IP as opposed to Sony's financial situation. They moved as many people as they can to the next God of War game, but the 50 people that got laid off became redundant and we're needed anymore. Companies with solid financial footing would have done the exact same thing.

if anything if things got incredibly bad, Sony would shut down their other divisions and keep SCE as its own entity going forward. It would be foolish to take the whole company down when there's one branch that is doing very profitable

So I was planning to buy the Infamous bundle...however I became impatient and purchased the Killzone bundle instead. It was on sale and it should be arriving within the next couple of weeks. I'm really excited!
