GOW 3:
Despite what a lot of people here say, Kratos is one of the most popular characters for them. I wouldn't rule out anything.
Quite interested in Quantic Dream's next project. Enjoyed Beyond and Heavy Rain.

I have cautious optimism that The Last Guardian will resurface at some point.

Good thread, OP. I really can't wait to see more games coming from Sony First Party Studios. E3 can't come soon enough

I just want to see Naughty Dog not work on a cinematic third person shooter.
Uncharted
Uncharted 2
Uncharted 3
The Last of Us
Uncharted 4
TLOU 2
I'm starting to get bored with their output.
I want to see them work on something out of the ordinary that can push forward solid gameplay.
*Edit
I'd like to add that I will also die of old age before the Last Guardian is ever released.

E3 is my last hold out of hope for TLG ever coming out. If it's not there, I give up.
Assuming that big budget JRPG rumor is true, that would most likely be another collaboration. Level-5's "bigger than WKC" PS4 game will be revealed at E3 sooo....I'm guessing this is it?

That's great to hear then, Second Son was solid but just lacked content which I hope they will not have a problem with second time round.
Eagerly awaiting for GT7 news and also this new Guerrila IP, they've spoken about it for so long now it has surely been in production for some time. Also so damn good that Barlog came back after all those years to work on God of War again, at this point something has to change with the formula so excited to see what it is. Naughty Dog get a lot of accolades for tech but I think God of War 3 is the best looking game released on PS3 full stop and to think that was 5 years ago now!

That Japan Studio JRPG rumor. God damn it just the idea of another studio taking the risky big shot at a high budget JRPG is enough to make me interested.
Is there a collection of rumors or whatever of what the Sony Third-Party relations team can potentially come up with? With their output lately (Tales of Hearts R, Grim Fandango, YAKUZA 5 GOD DAMN THANK YOU ADAM BOYES) I'm ready to believe anything is possible.

It'll come that's for sure but the question is will it be good?

They have three studios, one in Tokyo, an online studio that's also in Tokyo, and another in Fukuoka. Kaz moved to the Fukuoka studio. But they're all working on GT as far as we know.

What are the chances of us getting a sneak peek of GT7 at GDC?

drawn to death is a collaboration between Sony San Diego and David Jaffes new Studio The Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency
So its not really San Diegos game. But still i should mention this in the OP. Thanks

I'm fairly confident that's going to be Ni no Kuni 2. It's not just wish fulfillment; if you overlook Studio Ghibli being in a state of flux right now then it all makes sense otherwise. The first one bombed in Japan but did decent business in the West, hence the E3 unveiling.

I have faith. It was just so early on in the generation, they virtually made a launch title. For being so close to launch, it's utterly amazing. People say it's light on content, which is hard to deny, but by August last year, Sucker Punch were the only first party dev team to have released two internally developed titles.

here's to hoping there's a sequel in the works for playstation allstars.
I think they'll show a trailer Gamescom or E3

Never give up. There will be a day where we will have TLG in our PS4's.

Probably none. GT7 will either be revealed as its own event or one of the four major gaming shows (E3, TGS, gamescom, and PSX). Which one will probably be an indication of when it's going to release. If it's at E3 then it may end up coming out this year, but anywhere else and it's more than likely a 2016 release.

Didn't know that it was a collaboration game. Thank for the explanation!
I think this Verendus post is relevant
He also says Sly 5 is coming in the next two years.

This. Like most fans of the series, I have a love hate relationship with GT5 and GT6. GT7 needs to drastically improve and evolve beyond what we played last gen.
I'm also looking forward to what Sony Santa Monica can do on the PS4.

Here we are talking about Sony First Party Studios though.
And imo, Quantic Dream should be excluded from the list because they are still an independent studio
god damn knack avatars everywhere! if someone at sony skims through these forums they would think it is like the best game/character ever or something lol
anyways hoping for getaway 3 from sony london but i doubt it is happening and bend already ruined my syphon filter dreams
next god of war being a proper sequel on a more powerful platform should reignite interest after 2 years of no god of war games and will be 3 by the time the game comes out. they were really digging the franchise into the grave for a lengthy period there especially releasing a prequel story on ps3 after announcing ps4....
I can't see a last of us sequel, if done, living up to its predecessor but I believe in the Naughty gods!
should be great couple of years for playstation fans.
OR IS IT

Oh man, this is so exciting I love Sony's software output. There's just too much mystery here, it's driving me nuts! When's the next big game show?

For the longest time I thought that 8 days and the Getaway were the same game.
Woah woah woah - what's the week after next?!
I'm guessing SFV was the Sony/Capcom game and the fighter. Would Drawn to Death count as the other TPS? I'm not sure how specific Verendus was being about 'internal'.
Edit: also just noticed the arcade racer - YUSSSSS

I would like to hear the status of that Sony Japan JRPG. Also, I would like to hear more about Bend's game. Recent articles from a former employee haven't been too nice about it.
I remember, before PS4's launch when discussing the launch line up and 2014's outlook, people were saying "and barely any 1st party studios unveiled their projects yet!". Hell, I was one of those people.
We're over a year after the PS4 launch and funnily enough, pretty much nothing has changed.
WWS output since PS4's launch and outlook in 2015 looks really weak, I mean it's been on par with MS 1st party output, that's not good. A couple of smaller projects, few bigger releases, a racing game, mixed reception.
Quite a lot of studios were closed since 2011 and it shows. What was left was spread thin between a couple of platforms.
2012 was very weak in terms of releases, 2013 admittedly was fanstastic, probably the biggest year for WWS, 2014 weak again, and now 2015 looks meh as well, maybe some surprises, but from what we know or speculate about, nothing major.
Studio Japan and SSM seem to be becoming more of xDev America and xDev Asia, which may not be bad, but I liked their internal games and would rather them focus on that.
Media Molecule just had their 9th anniversary, their last big, major project released 4 year ago, with the next one not announced yet.
Bend as well, last game over 3 years ago with nothing announced yet, if what this latest rumoured employee is saying is true, nothing in 2015 as well.
Sure those studios might have problems as they both have switched platforms but development times are really long.
As much as I love him, maybe Yoshida should be replaced. I've had a lot of issues with some of his decisions and studios under his management in the last couple of years, a lot of studio closures since 2011, bad game platform choices in 2013, franchise mismanagement, studios not keeping up with projected release dates, project cancellations, reported chaos in studios like Studio Japan, now rumoured Bend, turmoil in Naughty Dog with UC4 and high profile staff leaving, arguably critically lower games quality as of late (I don't agree with a lot of reviews of some of the games though)
He's definitely a fantastic creative supervisor, but he's also seems so lenient. Maybe it's time for someone more of a better businessman.
As a PS4 owner I've had way bigger expectations of WWS when the PS4 was announced than I have now, which is a bit sad.

According to this job listing, Sony London is "embarking on exciting new concepts that showcase the recently announced Morpheus VR hardware".
Really looking forward to 'Horizon'. Going by the concept art, Guerrilla could be on to a winner.
Also looking forward to the rumoured FF-killer.

Damn Solid, don't bring logic into it!
I'm afraid that GT7 will become the next TLG if they don't show something soon.
Thinking about Sony's first party output for the last quarter of this year, what will they have?
Uncharted 4 almost certainly but not actually confirmed yet....and?
