Ghost of Tsushima has exactly what you say (co-op mode) and yet Sucker Punch is in the "single player" category.

I guess Bend is truly on a MP focused title unfortunately.

I'm not sure if Sony considers Legends as a GAAS, as it wasn't monetized at all. And Legends mode is not guaranteed for GOT2, especially not at launch.

Regardless, we know Bends next game is open world. I would be surprised if it didn't have a single player narrative with gaas elements mixed in. If it was solely a gaas game then Bend would be listed in the gaas category. So, we know it must have some kind of single player

The amount of CCU

Bend are in the multi-genre category, which means it is probably a single player game with MP elements. It's most likely a co-op mode. Somebody else in this forum posted about how Days Gone was supposed to have an additional MP mode but it was canned. Much more hyped knowing it is most likely not a typical gaas game

I usually don't go crazy for single play games with coop mechanics.

For me single player is one player only, end of the story.

Nah, The online mode is separated from the single player campaign, you can't play the campaign in coop.

And the whole thing was an afterthought, the game released with only a single player mode.

I still consider stuff like gta or rdr as single player games because the online part is separated and a thing on its own.

I really hope we get another Killzone or Warhawk or something of that caliber. Sony have just left so many IPs to fucking die, it's annoying.

 

[iHaunter]

So guerrilla and bend are both working on GAAS titles?

Bro can't even read a graphic. This generation is doomed.

Guerrilas focus is no longer single-player? Are they serious with this? Yikes

AAA games that sell in the 7 - 11 million range are now considered "high risk".

We're yet to really know long term. But they're in the mixed grouping. I very much doubt they abandon single player completely. And as has already been pointed out, they've got multiple projects on the go.

Yikes! Might be a deep-rooted systemic issue, there.

I would hope not. That's how they became so popular in the last 8 years, after all. With the Horizon games.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Looks like a solid breakdown.

 

[SteadyEvo]

Soooooooo kiss any decent ip from gg and bend after horizon 3

Horizon ain’t all that imo. Same with Ghost of Tsushima. Ubisoft games with improved combat and graphics. Same open world bloat.

If GG makes Kill zone shooter I’m there day one. Best MP shooter I’ve ever played. Breaks my heart the servers are offline.

Nah probably 2 teams. One making Horizon 3 and other making a mp game. They are on the mix studios.

 

[mckmas8808]

Live Service leads in revenue, playtime, social media prevalence, popularity etc...but single player games are more the "system sellers"?

Press F to doubt my friend. Press F to doubt.

There's a reason they sold PS5s with Spiderman 2.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

There's a reason they sold PS5s with Spiderman 2.

They bundled it because the standalone value wasn't there. Helldivers 2 had more system selling power.

 

[yurinka]

I don't usually like saying this, but you have no idea what you're talking about. The only evidence we have for what they're doing comes from the interview Gene Park did With Hermen and Marco when the acquisition was announced. Having said that, this back and forth isn't going to get us anywhere. So let's just leave it there.

Nah, you're the one who has no idea what you're talking about. And are acting as a gaming flatearther rejecting the evidences put in your face:

• Did anyone from Sony or Bluepoint ever said that BP is leading a new game? No, they said were going to work on new content after Demon's Souls but didn't say that were going to lead their own new game.
• Did they work as a GoWR or not? Yes, their full dev team appears in the game credits and many workers detail on Linkedin they were there almost from shipping Demon's Souls to shipping GoWR.
• Do they have a full game design team capable to lead a AAA game? No, they have only a single game designer, a single combat designer and a couple level designers which is ok for remakes or support team but not to lead a big game
• Are they included in this graph as "partner studio" or as "single-player, narrative focus"? Partner studio

 

[Ristifer]

Nice chart. When can I play it?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Every year someone on that chart releases something

 

[R3EUIL]

Will they almost all be the same poorly written third person "cinematic" narrative-focused titles with slow walking segments, rpg-lite systems, lack depth, and be boring as shite?

Oh, but now half of them will be blatantly unfinished with promises of "updates" to finish the game.

You must have thought you were very clever writing this, but in reality, you sound more like an NPC who heard these things from someone and replied

Tell me, which Sony Warrior are you that got banned and made a new account?

 

[plip.plop]

Think it is interesting that Guerrila and Bend Studio are in the "Evolving/Multi-genre" section. Any guesses to what "Evolving/Multi-genre" means?

They're gender fluid.

 

[Three]

Guerrilla was already evolving /multigenre. They made Killzone which was a single player and multiplayer FPS and a single player open world third person dino game. Bend I know less about but I'm sure there was already a rumour they were working on a multiplayer game that's possibly days gone related.

I've been here since last year, I've never been banned. Make up another excuse
