[Santiako]

I always advice against panicking.

 

[Rehynn]

Sorry I don't trust American gaming journalism, so much biased due to Xbone being made by an American company.

Sarcasm? If not: Leading North American gaming website Eurogamer also gave it a 4/10.

I was just making a stupid joke though

 

[ButchCat]

The Santa Monica "scary" blatantly feels like another God of War.

 

[CortexVortex]

Yep, could be Crash.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Red Light of Death simulator?

 

[RaikuHebi]

He also commented on TLG and said that he played it and it looks pretty. But he can't remember which controller he was holding when he was playing it.

I think it's obvious:

Yep, could be Crash.

 

[hodayathink]

Santa Monica's "too scared to say anything" seems more like it could be Jaffe's next game than Stig's.

 

[Pound_lb003]

Trash Panic 2.

Japan Studios aren't good enough to follow up on one of their most popular franchise.

 

[Y2Kev]

The good news is that all WWS are developing PS4 games. This means that studios like Bend, who wanted to stay small and not make a console game, are being forced into it. YAY MORE GAMES FOR KEV

 

[Ghost Rider]

Actually, thinking about panic made me want a new The Last Guy

 

[Nightengale]

He did not say scary, he said he's too sacred to even tease anything about what SSM is working, not even a word hint.

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Trash Panic 2

Is it sad this is the first thing that came to mind? Lol.

Would love to see what Bend is doing. Really talented studio. Maybe they will bring Syphon Filter back to console. That would for sure cause panic and kill GAF.

lol that thought made me laugh. It's the opposite of Rare's situation at MS.

 

[Shogun1337]

YAYYY FOR MORE FIRST PARTY RPG'S

 

[Totobeni]

I remember Blacklagoon on Vita threads kept thinking that Bend will still be on Vita, poor dude


anyway... will make people panic? huh this sound like a horror game of some sort but I hope it's Syphon Filter.

 

[Bundy]

YES!
So SONY Bend IS working on a PS4 game!!!

PANIC?
The Panic-Action genre is back!

;-)

 

[Mr. Fix]

I honestly wouldn't even care, but the leap that Ready At Dawn made has me curious as to what they could have Bend do.

 

[Y2Kev]

sony won't be putting big budget games on the Viter anymore.

 

[Spiegel]

So much for this

Bend Studio the creators of Sony's flagship Vita title Uncharted Golden Abyss is currently looking for the entertainment industries top artistic talent to help us create AAA content for Sony's powerful new hardware. We just scratched the surface on what the Vita can do with Uncharted Golden Abyss and expect to push the platform even further with our future projects.

Thanks Yoshida.

 

[awesomebro]

MLB 14 : The Show
Freedom Wars
Over My Dead Body 2
Soul Sacrifice Delta
Big Fest
Helldivers
Doki Doki Universe
Counterspy

I'll trade all of those games for siphon filter on the vita.

I'm a bit worried about the future of Bend though. I fear they're gonna go the way of zipper and sce Liverpool if their game tanks.

 

[PuppetMaster]

TRASH PANIC 2 please!

 

[Acquiescence]

Confirmation that Bend aren't making Golden Abyss 2. Hell, they aren't even making a Vita game. Looks like, in terms of retail releases, the Vita is mostly going to be supported by Japanese releases next year.

 

[Nightengale]

sony won't be putting big budget games on the Viter anymore.

Why not a cross-platform (Vita/PS4) smaller game, like Helldivers/MLB14?

I personally don't think devs should be forced to overcompensate for DA POWAH of PS4.

[SolidSnakex]

So much for this



Thanks Yoshida.

It's possible that they've expanded enough to handle two games. It's not like they'd need a huge team for a Vita title. I think Tearaway it being made by around 20 people.

 

[Sid]

Bend finally back in the big leagues,nice to hear.All these games seem to be very far off,like 2016 or something.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Lool I thought of this as well.

 

[Nemesis_]

Still waiting for Syphon Filter.

 

[Marvel]

Intriguing! the "Panic" comment has me hoping for a survival horror.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

I trust Yoshida more than I trust Kojima lol.

Don't worry those are the rumours of what Japan Studio is up to.

If they were making a Vita game only it would have been announced already. It's been two years since Bend finished Golden Abyss.

For the type of games that they do they need a lot more than 20 people, so at best it will be a cross platform release.

Not that I'm against it, but I can't see how they can do a PS4/PSV game with their usual production values and make it look good on both systems.

I thought he was taking the piss.

 

[Risk Breaker]

This is the only thing I still remember about that game. Probably because it was the only decent part of that game.

BS, the game was amazing for its time.

 

[thetrin]

I thought he was taking the piss.

I don't even know.

It's mind boggling really, Logan's Shadow and Dark Mirror were so damn good. yea they might didn't sold well but it's weird that SCEA don't allow Bend to make a sequel for great games but allow sequels for pure crap that also bombed like Resistance and ModNation and other it's just unfair.

 

[Dusky]

“We have 16 internal Worldwide Studios, and all of the teams have PS4 games in development,” Yoshida said.

Since when do Sony have 16 internal studios?

Leading North American gaming website Eurogamer?

I think you missed the joke.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Since when do Sony have 16 internal studios?

Multiple teams within studios.

 

[Dusky]

Multiple teams within studios.

Pretty sure that would equate to more than 16.

 

[NemesisPrime]

I doubt that Guerrilla can make a good game. The rest... excited.

 

[Empty]

in his gamasutra interview yosp said this - "we encourage mid-sized studios to come up with some digital concept titles, new titles. If they can do multiple projects, that's even better."

 

[staticneuron]

Would it be funny if the panic referred to an.... "Ape Escape"?

 

[Nightengale]

Since when do Sony have 16 internal studios?

16 including external development studios like XDev and Foster.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Panic =

Could be. I can see this since Bend and ND worked together with Uncharted.

 

[Rehynn]

Leading North American gaming website Eurogamer?

That's the joke.

 

[Bundy]

See no reason to believe they aren't working on something for the Vita any more:

Trapped between these successful (if scrappy) indies and the mega-studios, mid-sized studios, says Yoshida, are caught in a difficult spot: "if you are making a studio, like a 40- or 50-person studio, it's a really tough age -- whether they try to grow and compete to become triple-A, or if they try to do indie-style small development. It's really a good, critical question for many of the mid-sized studios."

For Sony's part, says Yoshida, "we encourage mid-sized studios to come up with some digital concept titles, new titles. If they can do multiple projects, that's even better."

I doubt they're working on big retail titles though... Seems more likely they've split up into multiple teams Double Fine style, and are working on several digital titles.

John Garvin said straight out there wouldn't be more Syphon Filter because the games weren't selling well enough any more.
