Sony should revive Jak
I think Sony should invest in the Yakuza series as well.

But bringing up a multi-player GOAT is a bit unfair no?
True story, not even making this up, I had a friend come over to play warhawk, he got super crazed over a dogfight and was just mindblown, so he turns and asks me how the multi-player is, and it was like bro... this IS multi-player.
Warhawk was a game that somehow warped the internet to make multi-player local play at times
I'm agreed with these list
I guess we have to wait few years to see Sucker Punch's second PS4 game
Well they are bringing over Yakuza 5. Lets see how it will do, could be the series last chance in the west.

Uncharted 3 sucks and Sony and ND are well aware of it. Hence why the team was removed from Uncharted 4 and left the company and the more capable team behind Uncharted 2 and The Last Of Us were put on to right the ship. You are fooling yourself If you think otherwise

Hyperbole at it's finest. Uncharted 3 at it's worst, was a great game. It had some pacing issues, sure, but really "sucks" and "garbage" oooohkay.

There is a dramatic drop in quality from UC 1 & 2 to UC 3. This is a widely held belief and as I said Naughty Dog themselves took corrective action so this isn't some radical notion,

You are fooling yourself....How does UC3 suck apart from your own opinion? Reviews, Sales Figures?
The team wasnt removed....The work on UC4 started in 2013.
Druckman and Straley replaced Hennig (obviously there were some dissagreements about this game and its direction --> Henning left)

You're not going to find many people agreeing with your posts on this page or the last. I have no idea why you're exaggerating the overall quality of these games that have been generally well received.
That's a bit extreme, don't you think? Uncharted 3 not only performed well critically, but financially.
The only real argument is that it was a noticeable devolution from Uncharted 2. It'd be understandable if Sony saw the IP as declining. Thankfully, The Last of Us was phenomenal.

There really isn't a Team Siren or Team ICO. Those were kind of project monikers by the lead designer. It seems SCE Japan Studio uses a lot of contract staff, and a good amount of outsourcing as well. But that's what Tokyo game development really is anyway.

I don't know many people who could say Uncharted 1 is better than 3. If I had a team and we wanted to present a game for consideration and if it was between 1 & 3, I'd think it would be unanimous to choose 3.

Drop in quality is a curious phrase. The games graphics were still industry leading, the set pieces got bigger and better, the A.I. was still great, the music was still great, the games were still relatively bug free, etc etc etc.
The biggest shift from Uncharted 2 to 3 was the pacing, and some minor game tweaks (which you could argue got worse), but to even remotely consider 3 to be a "bad game" by any metric is absolutely absurd. Again I stress, that Uncharted 3, at it's worst, was much better than a ton of other games and still a great game overall. Whether or not it was better than 2 is a different subject altogether.
Yeah they desperately need to make games that will sell 10,000 copies.

Then why did they left Uncharted 4 mid project? If they were so incompetent as you seem to think, why would Sony let them start UC4?
That would be the dumbest thing they could do IMO. They most likely moved it from the Vita because they didn't think it would sell well. So putting it behind a 800$ price entry would be completely stupid.
no. no one thinks that but you.

PS4+Morpheus

Have they given a price on Morpheus?

No, I just picked a not so unbelievable figure.
I loved Warhawk but it was a mess for at least a couple of months after being released and had to be patched extensively.

Looks like RAD is already starting the work on the next project.
Here comes the Order 1887....
This time with the finished Engine, i wonder how many years their project will take. 2018?

I dunno, I doubt $400 would be very accessible. Especially not when it needs to be paired with a PS4. I'd imagine $200ish depending on the tech they include, I can't imagine the BOM being very high.

I doubt that GR2 is a Morpheus game, but even if it is, it wouldn't be unplayable without it. It's not going to be any different than 3D supported game, which means that it'll be an optional feature for some games.

Great news
Hopefully this time it has more gameplay, longer campaign, more wacky weapons that get more utilized, less QTE and stealth sections. And most importantly multiplayer modes that rival Uncahrted and Gears series. The IP has a lot of potential, they already got the setting, characters, lore and engine sorted, there is no reason to waste all that.

They need to add more gameplay next time.

I just realised, this fall, both Guerrilla and Japan Studio will both have released games two years prior.
Japan Studio specifically, has got to be gearing up to reveal something at E3. Obviously, we kind of expect Guerrilla's game to be there. I hope it's third person, rather than first person.

Does this mean The Order 1886 sold well? Good to see they are so eager to start working on their next PS4 title.

We don't know if it's a PS4 title though or did I missed something?
I hope they take more inspiration from The Last of Us in terms of camera/open areas, and ditch the black bars for good. The potential is all there, of course I wouldn't mind if RAD did another new IP.
I'm still going to play The Order, only I'm going to wait for a price drop and to clear more of my backlog out.

At this point they probably haven't gotten to the point of deciding if the game sold well enough to keep the series/studio alive, but it's not like they can just stand around holding their dicks until Sony decides they're sure they want another game from them.

We know that Gravity Rush 2 is going to popup some time this year based on what Toyama has said. Gavin Moore (Puppeteer's director) said that he's working on some smaller projects. Sony Japan also does a lot of collaboration work, so there's very likely some stuff on the table with other developers as well.

I thought it's a Vita-exclusive? There are not so many other Vita-games by Sony.

I can't wait for Guerrillas next project. I'm trying to imagine a game that's got even more time to improve upon the tech they've already implemented. Such good art and tech from that company, I hope the best for their next project.

What else would it be a PS Vita title? Get with the program.

They're not owned by Sony so they could work with anyone.
Not really, any decent business needs to know what its staff will be doing months if not years in advance. They don't ship a game and then all just sit around wondering what to do next.
Though that's not to say plans don't sometimes change of course.

I think that is a bit of a exaggeration don't you think? They won't shut down the studio or the engine just because the game didn't sell more than 500k.
Sangetsu-II

Well realistically speaking they could make a PC game because other than that I don't know anything else that could withstand the engine that they set up.

The announce trailer made no mention of the platform. People just assumed it was a Vita game because of the visual quality of the trailer and because that was the platform the original was on. But there have been hints that it may be a PS4 game. The most recent one being Toyama telling Famitsu that when people see it they'll understand why it's taken so long for it to be shown again.
Not if they want to continue working on The Order

At this point, we can't know for sure, I think that for their next game they'll pitch it to Sony first but if Sony doesn't want to fund it they can work if a publisher and make the game under Unreal Engine 4 or Cryengine. Or maybe they can use their engine for less capable hardware.
Sure but what if Sony scrap the IP, then what?
