Does anybody expect God of War gameplay? Cory gives the impression on Twitter it's still early days.
Interested in the Bend game.
I expect them to do pretty much the same thing they did last year with Uncharted 4.

I assume GoW, Bend and the next Sucker Punch are going to be 2017 games, so I'd bet they'll wait to announce them for E3. 2016 already has a lot of announced exclusive PS4 stuff.Does anybody expect God of War gameplay? Cory gives the impression on Twitter it's still early days.

We all know the One is Knack. Second coming of Knack confirmed.Once again, the Age of One coming through.
Well, I never used to and preferred calling them Action Adventure titles, but GAF taught me they were two years ago. I also think it makes sense really after having finally played one. They're definitely RPGs, and they're made in Japan so I don't see the issue personally.

I'm just dying to see L5's project, hope we won't have too much longer...
If they can combine the gameplay (specifically the combat) of Dark Chronicle with the presentation and overall design of Ni No Kuni then it will be goddamn glorious. A lot of 'ifs' though. I like a lot of their stuff, but they're a very inconsistent studio.
The split is between "yes i believe him" and "he obviously would not say before announcement anyway"
Who knows who is right
In case you didn't read Verendus' reply above to the same question:
Idk i'm torn about wanting another NnK-style game from them, or trying once more to go big a la Rogue Galaxy/WKC, but i'll be satisfied with both.
"FromSoft JRPG"
Hopefully something Mecha.

Whatever it is, I hope it's not too bare-bones. I can't afford to shell out cash for another skeletal product.
Sucker Punch.

I know it's a month+ away and slightly off topic, but what is everyone most excited for at PSX?
Detroit is early 2017 at best imo. It looks very ambitious tech/scale wiseIs Materfall a Big Budget Production?
Also wasn't there an ad, indicating that Quantic Dreams next game will come out in 2016. Not so sure about Detroid

Cory should work on his blogs again. He would keep everyone up to date with production when he was working on GoW2, and they made for great readings.
He can't exactly do that for an unannounced game, no?
Besides, his seat is probably under some hot PR fire for accidentally blurting out that he's working on a new GoW.
Yup. Shu bringing up their project out of nowhere at E3 means they gotta be working on something pretty cool.Sucker Punch.
There will be an announcement trailer at PSX, then the first gameplay at E3 IMO.Does anybody expect God of War gameplay? Cory gives the impression on Twitter it's still early days.
Do you mind elaborating a little more on what you mean? And would that somehow exclude titles like Parasite Eve and Vagrant Story? I remember those being pretty combat focused (more so Vagrant Story since that's what I remember doing mostly), and PE was also survival horror. It has been over fifteen years since I played them, so maybe it's me who's faulty in the head, but I recall them being quite distinct. If you exclude action RPGs, wouldn't you have to exclude stuff like Kingdom Hearts, FFXV, FF7 Remake (lol), the Platinum SE game? I know I'm being a little silly there since I think I kind of have an idea of what you might mean by accepted staples of the genre (exploration and a hero's journey kind of thing possibly?), but at the same time, I like the idea of a genre continuing to evolve and adapt.They are definitely RPGs, and certainly made in Japan, but I wouldn't call them jRPGs. The J usually stands for specificities on the RPG genre that have become staples of the RPGs made in Japan. But it doesn't mean that every RPG made in Japan is a jRPG. I mean, people called Child of Light, a French game, a jRPG, and that's due to its mechanics. We also can't generalize and call cRPGs wRPGs just because most of them are made in the West. We expect different things from those kinds of games.
Bloodborne is an Action RPG through and through. You have strong role playing elements - like customization, modulated quests, huge plethora of play styles, great level of freedom, etc -, but the game is pretty much skill based, and combat is the center of its gameplay at all times.
Mind your I'm not bashing you on calling those games jRPGs, I just want to show that there might be ways to differentiate some games a bit more if we ignore the dumb naming of jRPGs.

So now there's that, SSM, Bend, and more FromSoft goodness to look forward to. The future looks so good.
I´m confident Evolution Studios are working on another game, it will take time, also lets hope RaD is working on Order sequel, series have potential.
In case you didn't read Verendus' reply above to the same question:
FromSoft is making a JRPG? Oh no. I don't like JRPGs. I was hoping for something along the lines of Souls or Bloodborne.
JRPG aesthetic turns me off.
Brand new multiplatform AAA IP which is an action adventure title with a weird fantasy mash-up in terms of aesthetic. Has been MIA for over a year now so not exactly sure what's going on with it, but it's what I'm waiting for. That's pretty much the only one I'm psyched out of my mind for since it's really big and different. I guess there's FFXVI too, but my excitement for that depends on whether I actually like XV. It's been a pretty disappointing fifteen years. It's like America said. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on you. Fool me thrice, and I can't get fooled again.Thanks for the info Verendus. Any unannounced (to the public) game that you personally are psyched out of your mind for?

There are a lot of games I end up enjoying really, but there are very few I get really excited about for whatever reason. You could count them on one hand most of the time. But I've been at that stage where I just want to play something that really grabs me for about two years now, which is why I'm so excited right now since UC4 is around the corner. I need something to wash away the severe disappointment of MGSV, and ND has been pretty damn consistent for me since UC2.
Godzilla bless Nathaniel Drake.
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not but I don't think Verendus necessarily means FF, DQ, etc. as the only games that constitute JRPGs
Alright then. I hate the term JRPG. I get seizures whenever someone calls SoulsBorne games and Dragon's Dogma "JRPGs"
Yeah I've about had my fill of announcing new projects. I'd rather see new footage of what we currently know. Give showcases and screen time to everything that has been announced throughout the year, which is a massive list.
New Games Announced this year:
Horizon: Zero Dawn
The Last Guardian PS4 ( with footage! )
Final Fantasy VII-Remake
Shenmue 3
Nier 2
Dreams
Hitman
Firewatch
World of Final Fantasy
Dragon Quest XI
Dragon Quest Builders
Dragon Quest Heroes 2
Gravity Rush 2
Gravity Rush Remaster PS4
Yakuza 6
Yakuza 1 Remake
King of Fighters 14
Tekken 7
Kingdom Hearts 2.8
Danganronpa 3
Star Ocean 5
NiOh
Detroit: Become Human
Boundless
Matterfall
Vector
Gran Turismo Sport
And of course all the other 3rd party titles announced over the year like Unravel and such like that.
Thats a ton of brand new games we didn't know about coming into 2015. And most of which we have seen nothing of. Hell we have barely seen much of big stuff like The Witness or Persona 5, DQXI, Star Ocean 5, etc. So really they could load of PSX with just gameplay footage of these above announced projects and have a brilliant show. Imagine is PSX had footage of Shenmue 3, The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy VII-R, Dragon Quest XI, Matterfall, Rime, The Witness, NiOh, Nier 2, Gran Turismo Sport, Dreams, etc? Would be awesome.
Saying that, I would be ok with Level 5's JRPG being announced at PSX lol.
Wasn't the exclusive Sega game Yakuza 6?Now that Paris Games Show is out the way the games I am expecting at PSX to get announced
PS1 and PS2 Classics Support
God of War 4 Revealed
New Parappa The Rapper Revealed
Bend Horror IP Revealed
Level 5 JRPG
Exclusive Sega game
Some more Indie games
And localisation announcements
Next FS exclusive for PS4 currently in development is a Sony published first party title, like Bloodborne, and is a JRPG. There is another project in development in a similar context which is also a JRPG, and is going to be a Sony published title aka first party. Beyond that, I don't want to delve into anything but it honestly only takes a little common sense to realise that Shu isn't going to tell you what anyone's up to because you happen to ask him a question. Nothing exists until it's officially time for it to exist.
It's a 2D shooting game if I recall correctly. Not much to explain really.

This Thread's purpose is to have an overview of Sony's First Party Studios and their projects. Not only the projects but also staff situations/layoffs can be discussed her3
