Talking to MCV, Gara went on to say that No Mans Sky will be treated as if it was from one of our internal studios, citing a close working relationship with the devs and a smooth integration into their release programme.

He believes that a number of indie titles on the platform have the potential to break free from the confines of what we would normally expect from such games, and that they could expand from digital releases to physical products.

Talking about No Mans Sky to demonstrate the level of commitment to promising indie titles, Gara said we are going to put the full weight of PlayStation behind it. If it all comes together as well as expected, it will be treated like a first-party release; it is not a self-published small indie title on the platform.

Treat this as first party if old

That's probably because they have nothing else to put their full support behind.

Blablurn · May 14, 2015

cant wait for it

Angel_DvA · May 14, 2015

But it's not, They should keep their money for real first party games.

One and done

Mdot · May 14, 2015

Is this coming out this year?

Ricky Ricardo · May 14, 2015

Guess that means it's become a full exclusive then? PC version still on tap or ...

Ehh. Another reason to get a PS4.

Assuming we actually do anything in this gaem

Pudge · May 14, 2015

What do you do in this game though?

Fixed it for you.

I wonder how many people are working on this game now. Has Sony given them more resources to try to get this game out this year?

dugdug · May 14, 2015

Does this mean a more tight exclusivity deal? Because this quote won't mean shit when it releases on XB1.

Savitar · May 14, 2015

Will it live up to the hype.

I wonder.

ObiDin · May 14, 2015

Reading between the lines here, but if this means it will not come out on other platforms then boo. I don't want to have to buy a PS4 just for this, I would but I don't want to.

DrROBschiz · May 14, 2015

Im basically done with media on this game

Next showing better be a release date..

They have been showcasing this game way too much for way too long. Should have saved all this media build up for NOW

He said the same thing for Destiny last year.

Steel · May 14, 2015

I'd actually agree that some indies have the potential to to create some really unique games, but treating a game that will eventually have a multiplatform release as a first-party game is kinda... Yeah....

On a side note, why aren't we hearing more buzz about the Tommorrow Children. I mean it's actually an exclusive game and it's supposed to come out this summer.

ironcreed · May 14, 2015

I just want it to release... soon.

Fbh · May 14, 2015

So it has been officially delayed to 2016?

Montresor · May 14, 2015

They said the same thing about Destiny

More news at E3.

Elandyll · May 14, 2015

This makes me think there is a push for a fall 2015 release. I also guess it's going to be a big part of Sony's presser at E3, after the relative lull in the past few months following the nearly non stop barrage of communication during the end of '14.

Can't wait.

That, or NMS is a legit good exclusive.

Montresor · May 14, 2015

Well, what I mean is, Destiny still came out on Xbox One despite being treated like a first-party release.

Unless you own stock in Sony or Activision, I don't think that matters.

True, day and date as the PS4

the XB1 version isn't even on the Hello Games release radar...

Impeccable · May 14, 2015

Thread shitting getting out of control again.

Must be E3 season.

So? It was good business for Sony.

Nightengale · May 14, 2015

Xer0 said:

Honestly, the only take-away from this statement is "don't read too much into it."

He's a marketing guy toeing the company line.

If Sony didn't have NMS, then he would simply substitute NMS with Battlefront. If they had Uncharted, he would've replaced it with Uncharted.

SprachBrooks · May 14, 2015

'If it all comes together as well as expected.'

What does he mean by this? As in if it indeed going to be released in 2015 or is he referring to quality?

Anyway, it's interesting that Sony does have this attitude now of essentially licensing third-party titles in such a way so as to posit them as first-party. It's definitely different in an era of a marked decrease in platform exclusive third-party games

Yeah, shouldn't have come into the thread expecting people excited for No Man's Sky. Oh well.

Begaria · May 14, 2015

I'm looking forward to checking the game out. Setting that aside,

He believes that a number of indie titles on the platform have the potential to break free from the confines of what we would normally expect from such games, and that they could expand from digital releases to physical products.

Indie dev's continuing to fill that "AA" hole that now defunct mid-tier publishers used to fill. i approve.

Hattori · May 14, 2015

I really hope this whole build up and hype for NMS comes to fruition
