Entwined, a Plant vs Zombies clone coming to a Sony Xperia near you!
Kill Strain is the DLC for it.

At the thought of a Quantic Dreams, ps4 only, new game coming out makes me a very happy man. So much so, that I dare use the passe', early 90s, Waynes World catch phrase, "Schwing!".

You know, I really hope we get something like Folklore for the PS4. I know the IP itself is dead, but I mean something with a similar scope and feel.
It's nice and all, having those bombastic action titles, and the ones that really push boundaries, which Sony is known for - but I'd love to have something like Folklore, a brilliantly crafted game which is doing its own thing, doesn't break the bank but has oodles of creativity to make up for its shortcomings as a graphical showcase.
It feels a bit like these kind of games are either relegated to handheld status (which is in itself a grim outlook for Sony's fledgling Vita) or are squarely in the 'indie' box and are digital downloads which often lack the replay value something like Folklore offered.
But I'm just dreaming - I'm sure 'Kill Strain' is some sort of flashy FPS game involving hordes of zombie-like creatures, and I'm sure it'll sell millions if it is. ._.

More PSN titles?
Sony needs more big AAA releases. They have plenty of downloadable titles. Wish they would get more of those going.

I do have hope for Guerrilla Games' new IP.
They are a talented bunch and I honestly think being stuck in the FPS genre has limited them greatly.
I want to see them tackle something ambitious like an RPG or adventure game. (Hopefully the rumors pan out on this one)
Their ideas on FPS gameplay seem to have dried up somewhat, I think a fresh genre could spawn some really new and creative ideas from this team.
Where are you getting the idea from that these are just "PSN titles"? (As if that's even a derogatory term)

That's the definition of meh. He's for sure legit but doesn't really tell us much to be honest. I never saw the red pill/blue pill, that's really sneaky though!
If I was in his place, I wouldn't either obviously. Better to let people see everything for themselves.SCE Bend, perhaps?
I've got hope for them now that they've hired one of Obsidian's writing leads in New Vegas.

I want to believe Arc the Lad is coming and Verendus's FF rival game from Studio Japan is Legend of Dragoon reboot and Ni No Kuni 2 is coming from Level 5 and Persona 5 "color" is coming to the PS4 6 months after the release of the PS3 game and Final Fantasy XV is coming out Q1 of 2015.

Well, unlike the unaffiliated , Demonite will lose his job if he even so much sneezes what he's seen.

In the descriptions for each title it mentions them as "Downloadable titles via network". Definitely sounds PSN to me.
Oh and I didn't mean the term to sound denigrating. I just want to see more big releases on PS4.

Oooh new IP.
E3 can't come soon enough! I hope we see Sony's rumoured Final Fantasy style AAA JRPG. May still be too early though.
Aren't all games now ''downloadable titles via PSN''? Everything has a digital download option these days.

Who within Sony are even capable of doing an FF style JRPG?
Legit question.
It sounds like a pipe dream to me.

What the hell are you talking about? You do know that you can download every retail game on PSN, right?
It says: Computer game software; Downloadable computer game software via a global computer network and wireless devices; Video game software
I believe this is just a catch-all phrase used for any kind of videogame software. I don't think this means it's PSN related at all.
Besides, isn't every retail game available to download from PSN on day one? AAA status or not.

Entwined is a cool name.
But by complete contrast Kill Strain is absolutely terrible and I kind of feel the game deserves cancelling for that alone.
I felt the same way about Hell Divers, but that game is one of my most anticipated
Japan Studio. Who has hundreds of employees.
All games are released via PSN now. So that means nothing I think.

Where was this rumored?
The only RPG I heard rumored from Sony making the rounds on here was that Guerilla Games RPG. Which was supposed to be more of a Western RPG.

I don't mean in terms of numbers, I mean more in terms of experience with JRPGs.
SCEJ hasn't created a JRPG in a while, right?

OK fair enough point. I just assumed that if it was a regular retail release it would've mentioned something like that in the description too. It only mentions downloadable.
FF styled aaa rpg???

Well supposedly there are two. One a big budget FF style affair and the other a smaller game aimed at the hardcore (potentially a Demons Souls sequel).
From Verendus:

Such a shame Sony let such great RPG series like Wild Arms and Legend of Dragoon languish in limbo for so long.
Retail games do not have that "Downloadable computer game software via a global computer network and wireless devices" addition
Infamous SS
KZSF
The Order
The Last Guardian
note: also says "Operating a real-time game for others over a global and local area computer networks"

Damn! 2 RPGs? That would be incredible.

Don't fuck with my dreams.
Studio Japan has 400+ people.
I just think that 'big budget FF style' RPG doesn't sound much like SCEJ to me, unless Sony is working with someone like Level 5 again to do a Rogue Galaxy type.
Internal SCEJ stuff is usually more experimental and smaller scale, no? SCEJ is big but I think they're all split into smaller teams which work on multiple projects at a time, an FF type might be hard to do with stuff like The Last Guardian in perpetual development.

I know. Very excited for the future of the PS4. Mainly because with all the indie games, F2P, HD ports and AAA exclusives / multi plat games it is positioning itself to have a line-up as diverse and exciting as the PS2.
Plus the controller is perfect.

Maybe Entwined is the name of the VR headset....Lol...
I could have sworn he also teased a Miyazai game being made with
Studio Japan.

It seems like it may be something new that they've started since Oreshika and Freedom Wars both have that description. Past download-only games don't include that description. For example

Yeah, that Downloadable description threw me off. We haven't seen that before for retail titles.
As for the names, they both sound pretty intriguing.

Kill Strain. A stealth action game from Sony Bend.
I'll have both please.

Really hoping these are not f2p downloadable titles, And are Not shooters, more importantly. But there are way too many chances they will exactly be these.
