Support NeoGAF

[grimshawish]

Did they really think they coukd get away with just throwing random names together?

 

[Yoshi]

Same fate as Nintendo. Sony is losing third-party support fast and the console isn't out yet.
All that RAM didn't help, huh?

Are they also going third party now? Imagine how great it would be if you didn't have to buy a Nintendo console for Nintendo games and also didn't have to buy a Sony console for Sony games. But what happens if Microsoft goes third party, too?

Sega is rubbing its hairy hands.

 

[i-Lo]

Which company now owns the Metro IP?

CD Projekt is one example.

As long as they can stick to PS4 long enough to make Cyberpunk 2077, I am a-0k.

 

[sono]

This does not seem pleasant.

Heavenly Swords 2, I hope. They pimped the shit outta that game in the new sizzle reel attached ahead of PS4's reveal.

To the powers that be, let this be the case. I might beg if required.

 

[Yoshi]

Sega is rubbing its hairy hands.

Are you talking about these:

?

 

[inky]

CD Projekt is one example.

CD Projekt is also trying very hard to get all their games on consoles, and even designing them more akin to what you would expect from a console release. It's a mutually beneficial parternship for sure, but I doubt Sony had to woo them too much to make it happen.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Vita also had tons of dev names according to the other thread.

Just sayin.

CD Projekt probably was on board the second Sony had PC like system.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

After Tameem talked so much crap about HS breaking even I honestly don't think that's likely.

Yes but he got a haircut!

 

[Corto]

Ninja Theory is already working on a next gen game,DmC 2?

Heavenly Sword 2

 

[Proxy]

Vita also had tons of dev names according to the other thread.

Just sayin.

Just saying what? You do realize that this a new home console not a handheld right?

 

[phosphor112]

Goddamn, why such a drop in devs?

A lot of the ones gone are small "no name" studios.

 

[Derrick01]

I'm not sure why anyone pays attention to these lists at all.

You know how you'll know when a developer is supporting a console? When they announce a game for that console and show you evidence that the game exists and is actually coming to market.

Exactly, it's widely irrelevant in terms of gauging launch titles or anything like that.

Looking at the old list it looks like they included devs who were making games for Sony's Xperia Play and/or PlayStation Mobile.

For example, Vlambeer made this: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/21/playstation-mobiles-super-crate-box-is-the-definitive-version/

:lol

 

[funkystudent]

Why is Criterion on the list and not DICE?

Why not just have "EA"?

Silly list is silly.

 

[Coolwhip]

I would like to know how many studios are actually working on WiiU/PS4/720 games total. A lot less than a few years ago I guess?

 

[Ran rp]

I will day one a PS4 for Heavenly Sword 2 in the launch window.

 

[cacildo]

Ctrl + f + "doomed" = 0 results on first page

 

[Honey Bunny]

Somebody obviously put up the wrong list. If you were trying to mislead people intentionally why would you leave out CD Projekt, 2K Games, Codemasters, Ninja Theory etc. on the first go-through.

Man these lists are dumb.

 

[Ran rp]

Tameem shaved his DmC-Dante hair off, he's done with the franchise

Isn't that obvious to you?

Woah, he looks so different.

 

[bak4fun]

Codemasters is listed two times in the OP. So 29 Studios.

 

[Corto]

Has Sony been reaching out to traditionally PC developers? It seems that with the friendly architecture that the PS4 could absolutely steal a little of Steam's sunshine, or at least make things cross platform. Some of the experiences that are more popular on the PC traditionally could be made to work with a PS3 controller. If they aren't doing their best to make the console extremely developer-friendly, they're screwing up!

Paradox was in the original list.

 

[petethepanda]

PS4 DOOMED

 

[Hindle]

Some of those developers still may not work on the PS4, if MS signs them up for a partnership. On the flip side they may only work on the PS4 If Sony do the same.

European studios such as "Sega" or "Electronic Arts"? What's going on in Sony's list department ^^.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

I'm not sure why anyone pays attention to these lists at all.

You know how you'll know when a developer is supporting a console? When they announce a game for that console and show you evidence that the game exists and is actually coming to market.

Yeah, those lists at the reveals are all fluff as we've seen from the past many times over. They do not show full support or a lack of support and are just there as a bullet point.

 

[javac]

EDIT: I'm stupid

 

[vocab]

Same fate as Nintendo. Sony is losing third-party support fast and the console isn't out yet.
All that RAM didn't help, huh?

Ya, totally. Spot on. Great deduction skills.

 

[AranhaHunter]

Pretty much this. Blizzard is not on any list of PS4 developers, yet, Diablo 3 is coming to PS4.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I think some of the devs were not ready to announce anything, and wanted to be out of that list. Mojang comes to mind.

 

[Proxy]

Bohemia Interactive is on the revised list hmm... ArmA 3 for PS4. Now that would be interesting.

 

[Josh7289]

Curiouser, not one of the developers and publishers named on the previous list makes an appearance on the new roll call.

Sounds like the old list was the list of studios they're not currently working with.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Pretty much this. Blizzard is not on any list of PS4 developers, yet, Diablo 3 is coming to PS4.

Blizzard's part of Activision.

 

[Mileena]

All those devs jumping ship to Wii U. Ten more years of PS360U!

 

[CrunchyFrog]

You can deffo chalk this up to Sony being a bit overzealous on their definition of "support" as well. Case in point, that 3DS third party wall-o-devs which has been culled to oblivion over the last 2 years.

 

[Gold_Loot]

It's all part of a big, hair-themed, conspiracy then, eh?

But, don't get me wrong, I do want an HS 2, I just don't think everyone included in that reel is developing an exclusive game to PS4.

Either that, or "bald Dante confirmed" .. One can only imagine the meltdowns

 

[gofreak]

Goddamn, why such a drop in devs?

There was talk that Sony 'accidentally' put out a list of all licensees rather than PS4 specific ones. That there was some kind of mixup like that. Wouldn't explain why the new list has new additions, though. Maybe the last list was PSN licensees or something.

 

[MYE]

Ninja Theory is already working on a next gen game,DmC 2?

I hope so

 

[RoboPlato]

Pretty awesome list of devs, even if it is shorter.

 

[sleepykyo]

Heavenly Sword 2. Sony and Tam Tam have kissed and made up since he spoke in the trailer about PS4 with the other devs.

How hard up for support is Sony?

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I don't see EA on this list. I know they are but they've been M.I.A. here with PS4 stuff.

 

[krizzx]

Knack off if old



Source (Joystiq)

Woah, they've already put 25 studios out of business with those high dev costs?

 

[SolsticeZero]

Tameem shaved his DmC-Dante hair off, he's done with the franchise

Isn't that obvious to you?

Woah, he looks so different.

DmC2 Dante to have shaved head confirmed.

 

[szaromir]

DmC2 Dante to have shaved head confirmed.

You can't have hair and be a space marine... DmC2 as third person cover shooter confirmed?

 

[Vitrier]

No next gen Burnout at launch saddens me

 

[SolsticeZero]

You can't have hair and be a space marine... DmC2 as third person cover shooter confirmed?

DmC2 taking place in the year 40,000 with Dante as the leader of the Blood Ravens fighting against Vergil who now leads Chaos.

Best. Crossover. Ever.

 

[AndyD]

Honestly I prefer the revised list. Although it seems like a really weird thing to happen. How did they come up with all those folks on the first list to begin with?

Maybe places they sent dev kits and they expressed interest? And now its more realistic in terms of projects in development?

 

[Diablo Rosso]

How hard up for support is Sony?

Well Heavenly Sword was expensive and only broke even I believe. Still, it's Ninja Theory's best selling game.
