[Yoshichan]

- Team Ico - making Last Guardian

I've got to admit, this made me laugh

[Captain Tuttle]

PS4 games


And lol at Team Ico

[Carl]

RAD aren't Sony. And they're working on a new IP for next gen consoles, AFAIK

[JehutyRunner]

Ready at Dawn are second-party.

As for Guerrilla (the main studio, not Cambridge), they suggested in Edge (either late last year or early this year) they were making a new Killzone game, with Steven Ter Heide directing that effort while Mathjis De Jonge (Killzone 2/3 director) directs the new IP.

[Cesar]

Is it confirmed that RAD is working on a Sony exlclusive and not a multiplatform title?

[Sid]

PS4 exclusive it seems.

[JaseC]

I've got to admit, this made me laugh

It's up there with such classics as, "Squeenix - Making FF Versus XIII" and "Valve - Making Half-Life 3". :p

[iamshadowlark]

Alot of Sony's devs hav been posting want ads for next-gen developers so I would suppose they are ramping that up. Or maybe Vita lol?

[Dusky]

Is it confirmed that RAD is working on a Sony exlclusive and not a multiplatform title?

Didn't the rumour start when it was reported that they were developing for a next-gen console and not consoles, hence why everyone thinks it is PS4.

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Sony decided to turn The Last Guardian into a Vita game, and they need all hands on deck to rebuild it from scratch.

Also missing SSM who are said to be developing some sort of shooter. Stig's game probably.

Yup that is Stig's game,in development since march 2010.

[Canis lupus]

QD has a 2nd team?

Yep forgot Stig is making a new game, but about the shooter thing, want that just for Starhawk as Santa Monica co developed that game.

[uncleniccius]

Sony Santa Monica are also rumoured to be working on a second project.

[Kenshin001]

I was under the impression Guerrilla and Cambridge had merged to work together on Killzone. Didn't realise Cambridge was stuck working separately on Mercenary. Think this is a big mistake and is not reassuring for the quality or scope a Killzone really needs to compete with the big boys of FPS. This is a problem with Sony overall I think, they should be pooling resources for their flagship games. GT is a good example. That game could have done with a couple of studios helping out, like oh I don't know a studio that had worked on an F1 racing game perhaps (RIP Studio Liverpool). What a dumb decision that was.

Also, lol at TLG. Would have to rank as one of the biggest disappointments this gen.

[Sid]

San Diego is making the new MLB too.

Cambridge was guerilla's 'sister studio' before merging with them they also worked on killzone 2,polyphony has 2 studios now i think they are both working on GT6.

[Takao]

SCE Japan Studio: Puppeteer, Rain, The Last Guardian, Gravity Rush sequel (rumored), Ape Escape 4 (rumored) alongside assistance on projects like Over My Dead Body 2, and Soul Sacrifice.

[Ricky_R]

Since when did most Sony studios divide into two teams?

[Dusky]

QD has a 2nd team?

They have a 2nd project in the works so I think people just assume they have a 2nd team.

- SOE - made Planetside 2

You can put them down for EverQuest Next too.

They do all share resources and help eachother out.

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Cool idea for a thread (very informative).

I don't think Quantic Dream has a second team though.

Well, it's not like Killzone will have any competition as the premium FPS on the Vita.

[Shtof]

Since when did most Sony studios divide into two teams?

Around 2009-2010 I think. Probably easier to control a few larger studios than a lot of smaller studios.

[Mario007]

Cool idea for a thread (very informative). I don't think Quantic Dream has a second team though.

Apparently they have 200 people in the studio so I guess 2 teams aren't out of the question.

Most of the teams do help each other out. As far as I know many Sony europe coders are helping Team ICO on The Last Guardian for example.
Also cambridge is part of GG now.

[SlowRevolution]

How do the Last Guardian guys still have jobs? Or has the game never getting finished been mostly Sony's fault?

[Takao]

I doubt that game's development problems have anything to do with the programmers, and artists on staff but rather a single perfectionist who was given free reign. Once TLG ships (lol) Ueda is officially no longer an employee of SCE.

[Kenshin001]

They do all share resources and help eachother out.

That's not what I mean though and even then sometimes it's tenuous. I mean a complete co-operative effort, like GG and Cambridge merge and all those people work on Killzone 4. I read 343i has 300 people, 300 people working on one game. GG has 160.

I heard Santa Monica were helping out on TLG but in reality it wasn't much. I don't think anyone helped out much on GT5 because Yamauchi lives in a bubble.

[Necron]

I hope we'll get some good titles around launch.

It's surprising that most studios separated into two teams...

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

If I had to put money on it, I would say "stuff".

[SolidSnakex]

I don't think anyone helped out much on GT5 because Yamauchi lives in a bubble.

That's not the reason. Kaz has said that it was due to them being knee deep in development with GT5 very early on and couldn't really look outside. They built everything inhouse. He's said that in the future that'll change and they're going to communicate with the other WWS more.

[1st Course]

Evolution expanding? didn't the studio manger say that he fear that Sony will close the studio or something similar?

[HooYaH]

One of those teams is probably making the new PS4 UI and Home 2.

[Dusky]

That is likely to be Sony London.

[Mario007]

As far as I know after Apocalypse bombed they were given one more chance. Most of the staff is working on that project now, plus Evolution brought in new people from Liverpool. They had a small team working on Motostorm RC and that was definitely a huge success considering the resources.

[Carl]

Evolution expanding? didn't the studio manger say that he fear that Sony will close the studio or something similar?

i think RC did really well for them. They've had another project greenlit anyway, so they definitely have more stuff on the way.

[dan2026]

So has The Last Guardian been confirmed as modern vaporware?

[Globox_82]

Didn't the rumour start when it was reported that they were developing for a next-gen console and not consoles, hence why everyone thinks it is PS4.

Because at first their job aplications (Gamasutra, on their site) was at first saying PS3, just PS3. Then a few months later in changed into NEXT GEN CONSOLE (singular). Now this doesn't mean 100% it's for PS4(exclusive) but it sure hints at that. But who knows, maybe in the mean time that changed like with "Remember Me".

[Carl]

So has The Last Guardian been confirmed as modern vaporware?

Well, it exists and it's still being worked on. Whether it will ever release is another matter though

[gofreak]

Sony London is working on an unannounced camera-based 'multiplatform' (PS3...+Vita?) game 'connected to a very famous IP' for 2013.

Maybe a follow-up to Book of Spells or something else wonderbook-y? With a Vita version too?

[Combichristoffersen]

So has The Last Guardian been confirmed as modern vaporware?

No. According to Sony it's still in development for the PS3.

I don't think it'll ever be released though.

[Globox_82]

So has The Last Guardian been confirmed as modern vaporware?

Probably PS4 IMO, we know that SSM is helping them with programming.

[sajj316]

I would put my money on Naughty Uncharted team working on a PS4 Uncharted title or at least dabbling in the technology so they can build their internal tools

Invizimals maybe though neither that or wonderbook are famous.

I wouldn't be surprised if ND turns out to have 3 team in a 2 year period....

[gofreak]

Harry Potter is, though, wrt the possibility of another 'book' from Rowling.

Or maybe they'll make a LBP Wonderbook title. Which I think could be fantastic, particularly with Vita.

[Lemonte]

All Sony studios are helping Team Ico to finish The Last Guardian
