Sony can’t tell you about all of the upcoming PlayStation 4 games just yet, so it's teasing them instead. SCEA executive Adam Boyes has thrown some fresh fuel into the hype train’s overworked engine, telling the latest episode of the PlayStation Blogcast that he “lost his mind” over an upcoming next generation title.
Seeing as the likeable suit works in publisher and developer relations, we’re guessing that it’s probably a third-party game – although we suppose that he’d be privy to information on internally developed titles, too. There are a lot of excited whispers surrounding Sony Santa Monica’s next project at the moment, which is rumoured to be set in space. God of War III director Stig Asmussen and his team have been working on the next generation release since 2010, and its budget is reportedly astronomical.
Of course, Naughty Dog’s also been dropping some big hints regarding its impending plans. Posting on its blog earlier in the week, the Californian developer hinted that 2014 is set to be a special year for the studio. Realistically, the abovementioned comments could be about anything. If there’s one takeaway, though, it’s that PS4 looks to have an exciting twelve months ahead of it.

Loose his mind? This better be good, like Portal 3 or something. I hope there is truth to his statement and it's not over-hype.
Personally though, Witcher 3 is all I can see right now. Nothing else matters. Yeah I'll grab Tomb Raider as a filler and I might check out Infamous Second Son, but Witcher 3? That right there is why I bought a PS4. Bring it!
He probably saw gameplay of The Order: 1886, that'd make anyone lose their mind. He could also have seen The Last Guardian or Media Molecules project.
@JaxonH Portal 3 would be a good thing?
@BornOfEvil
Of course it would, are you kidding? I still remember the first time I played Portal, just blew my mind. Not too many games do that. Second one was a worthy sequel. After this many years, I'd like to think we'll see a new one, though that may prove to be a pipe dream.
Spunds good, could be anything though. Might be a game that fits him personally very well. I won't be mad if he is excited about something that we don't find as excited since it's is personal tastes here.
By the time Half Life 3 is released, we will have Portal 3, Left 5 dead, and about 16,000 more hats in Team Fortress 2.
Interesting. Let's see what SSM can pull out of the hat at E3.
Interesting so there is something to show right now, meanwhile...
I'm just having fun imagining Boyes running around his office shrieking as Andrew House sits in a corner afraid to move.
We want to loose our minds too... please just tell us already.
@JaxonH @BornOfEvil Or how about Half-Life 3 that's a crossover with Portal?
I'm down to lose my mind : ) especially from a PS4 game. The future is bright.
Until I see something I can't really get too pumped. I keep reading about stuff that is making Sony execs go crazy and yet no announcements and the ones that do happen are for indie games. Haven't really seen much in the way of an exclusive, outside of inFamous: Second Son, that competes with the likes of Titanfall, Quantum Break or Sunset Overdrive and all those are new IPs exclusive to Xbox One with system-selling potential. I appreciate Sony's indie focus and giving those smaller devs a chance to standout but let me start seeing more reasons why I dropped $400. I'm sure there's games on the way, otherwise I wouldn't have made the investment, but I'm tired of hearing they exist. Show them.
