Didn't they announce Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin in a State of Play?

If I don’t see Elden Ring DLC trailer then whole rumour about releasing in Feb is complete BS.

Jim going out with a bang.This specific leak is true (though still not complete).

This is more like a Showcase that they are calling a State of Play. It's significantly better than the last PS Showcase.First SoP Hermen is putting his name on
Really looking forward to see Ronin and Stellar Blade plus the other surprises.
If they drop a FF7R demo after the show

Going by how overkill this State of Play lineup seems, I'd say Colin Moriarty was right in that there was a second big event being prepared for late 2023 but that got pushed back until now.

If they do I won’t be touching it. We close and I’m already sold on it…..then again I have VERY weak will.

he didn't leak any of this.
it's common knowledge that it was shared by an insider on a discord.
plus im sure nate the hate or whatever his name is was the first to publically mention it.
As always speshal nick the attention seeking whore just repackaged someone else's info to pretend he's something more than a fat guy with a podcast

On a sidenote, I wonder what the hell have Bluepoint been up to these past 4 years
Whatever his dream is, I bet it's public knowledge and very on the nose, since I doubt someone as stupid as Nick would have any deeper insight into the figure of Hideo Kojima than the average gamer. Maybe look into him, interviews and such.
Leaked concept art of Bluepoint's project from the Insomniac leak.
Well respected insiders such as Shinobi602 have hinted at BP's game being a continuation of an existing property rather than new IP. So perhaps it is Egypt God of War or a radically different Demon's Souls 2, hard to tell from this image alone.
There's no "Bluepoint game" to be announced.
They don't have enough game design resources to lead a new AAA game, and even less a new IP. That concept art was only a random placeholder illustration because when that document was written Insomniac still didn't know that the next project after Demon's Souls was GoWR. Unlike for similar documents they had for other studios, that Insomniac document did show "original content" as current project instead of a game name or game codename.
After Demon's Souls the entire Bluepoint team was working on GoW Ragnarok until it's release according to the linkedin of many employees and the GoWR game credits. Since according to their studio head they left behind remakes and remasters and will make only new original content going forward, after GoWR they are working again as support team for some game leaded by some other studio, because back then they still barely had only a handful game designers and they can't lead a new AAA title with that, and even less a AAA new IP.
So very likely after GoWR (they didn't work in Valhalla) they have been supporting other Sony game leaded by some other studio and they continued growing. Pretty likely somewhere in the future they'll be big enough to lead their own games. As a reference, Bluepoint has around 80 employees, Housemarque has over 110, ND has several hundreds and Bungie has around 1400.

When it comes to gaming rumors, practicing skepticism until given reason to believe otherwise is my rule of thumb.
Saves me from unnecessary, self-imposed disappointment.

Your idea that Sony bought Bluepoint just to have them as slave workforce on other studio's projects is laughable to say the least.

On one hand, there is truth in that Bluepoint was primarily an assets/graphics studio: the Demon's Souls remake, for example, was mainly developed by Japan Studio IDD (with Gavin Moore leading the project), in which BP was mostly doing work in the technology aspect of it. On the other, I can't imagine SIE buying Bluepoint only to keep it as a support company, it's just that their own game would take a lot time in the making, so expecting it any time soon is not worth it.

What was is supposed to be called again? Killzone: Breach?

It isn't my idea, it's the reality so far. They have been a support team for GoWR and for the next game they're working after it.
They have been growing, if they continue doing so and grow specially their game design department they'll be able to lead their own new AAA game, but as of now it isn't the case. They completed their job in GoWR having 2 (depending on how you count it 3) game designers, not enough to lead a AAA game and even less a AAA new IP.
I assume the plan is to have them as support team during 2-3 games (being GoWR the first one) getting familiar and trained to the workflow of new games and some IPs, while they keep growing the studio. And after that once they have the proper team and knowledge they may lead during two or three titles a brand new sequel or spinoff of one of the many IPs they worked on either as support team or with their remasters and remakes. And after that they may lead their own new IP.
Step by step.
Yes, he left/was fired due to The Last Guardian being turned into a money pit, not having a clear vision for the project and not being able to complete its development, to the point external teams had to go to complete it.
Sony owns the ICO, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian IPs. This means Sony (not limited to the other people who also worked on it and remain there) can make remasters, remakes, sequels or movies without him. And that he can't use them without Sony's permission / approval.
As I remember they have announced well over half a dozen first party releases announced for 2024: TLOU2 Remastered, Helldivers 2, HFW PC, Rise of the Ronin, MLB24, Destiny 2 The Final Shape, Stellar Blade, Convallaria, Lost Soul Aside and Concord.
Plus there are games like Death Stranding 2 with TBA release dates who could also be 2024. And stuff that could be announced for 2024 like the rumored Until Dawn remaster or Cory's SSM new IP.

First Shadow of The Colossus tyat need direct sequel and second even there was going to be sequel why would I want some random developers make the sequel instead of Ueda and his team.

Who says Ueda and GenDesign aren't working on it?
Not saying it's happening, just saying.

Ueda doesn’t make direct sequels…..so there is almost no chance they are working on Shadow of the Colossus 2…..Ueda is rather make new game.

Fair enough.
But the same was said about FF, until they released X-2.
I don't want a SotC sequel though. Maybe a spiritual successor.

Last Guardian is already kind of that….it adds elements of both ICO and SotC.
Killjoy-NL

I suppose.
SotC is basically a prequel to ICO.
Not sure where TLG would fit in, so maybe you're right.
Wouldn't mind another game that might fit in that universe.

I personally want see him make brand new game…..we are way overduse new game from him.

I really do enjoy that I have absolutely no idea what to expect from Death Stranding 2. I can't even picture what it could be like in my head. Kojima developed DS1 within a span of 3 years with a brand new studio. I really am excited for him to have the proper budget and resources for a blockbuster AAA game, with 5 years of development time

The two already confirmed are exclusives. Helldivers 2 and FFVII Rebirth will be released soon, so very likely will be there too. But they normally also include multiplatform games there, typically those who signed a marketing deal with Sony.
Example: they could show there for the first time a new DLC character for Street Fighter 6 (like Ed gameplay) or Tekken 8, the Elden Ring DLC or something like that. Or announce some upcoming multiplatform game there, or to release a new trailer of an already known game (such as Pragmata, to announce its release date).
There has been covid in the middle, he also did work -at least to make motion capture- on the MS game, plus in the Death Stranding movie and in a documentary about himself.
So maybe they release DS2 having only worked 3 years on it.

Will Stellar Blade be an exclusive?
rhodesianshepard

Meh, Covid probably didnt have too much of an impact for a game in pre-production back in 2020. You really only need a small team before going into full production later on
The MS Kojima game is a much smaller experimental game. It doesn't sound like it's using many resources of Kojima productions, outside of Kojima actually directing motion capture. And once DS2 went into full production, it's less about Kojima's direct involvement and more about developers needing the time to develop Kojima's vision
I think with Sony publishing it we can definitely say that it will be console exclusive. They will release it on PC, most likely, with some delay.

Console exclusive, maybe one year later on PC. Shift-Up, like Mihoyo and other giants coming from the mobile scene, is partnering with Sony for their expansion into the console market.

unintentionally guessed the correct one 
The Gollum GIF represented the post-announcement mixed feelings about the fact that we have seen nothing of the game, don't even know its name, or whether it is a PS5 or PS6 game.

Also, who's making the thread on the PlayStation Showcase being reportedly slated for May 2024 per one of the most solid Sony insiders?
