Sony Bend Hints at New IP During Its Logo Unveiling

As long as it just includes multiplayer and it’s not the focus then that’s cool. If it’s the focus I’m not at all interested

I see they're bending expectations. I like it.

@Kooky_Daisuke Not sure where you’ve gotten that from? Just having a multiplayer component doesn’t mean they’re trying to make the next Fortnite.

Critically acclaimed masterpiece The Last of Us had multiplayer. So did Uncharted 2, 3, and 4. 🤷‍♂️

So Days Gone 2 with a factions mode?

Also the logo that was a banana with Bend on it looked better than that XD

To be fair it's not a bad logo. Just hilarious that they made a livestream around it.

No actual bending in the logo? Disappointing!
Seriously though, glad to see a Logo that isn't super simple (Like Bandai's ugly new logo)

So this is one of Sony's live service games

Bend Studio saying that their game has multiplayer in it doesn't mean it's going to be live service lol. It could just be a component of their game. Just have to wait and see.

@QBGaming12 I think that ALL games going forward that have a multiplayer component will be live service to some extent.

@velio84 They’re Freakers! Sheesh!!

🤣

If it includes no single player then that's not good, what's concerning about bend creating one of sonys live service games is that they are one of Sony's smaller devs and their really slow development cycle, they made days gone in 2019 yet the game before that one was in 2011 with the uncharted vita game.

So we're looking at 2030 at the earliest for their next single player game 😬

Sony need more studios and fast

Nice Logo. Another Open World tho? Eeeh, hopefully doesnt take 7 years and many delays like DG. And please no Zombies.

@Kooky_Daisuke live service game could also include single player, look at halo infinite as an example, single player campaign and live service multiplayer component.

So they could create a new single player Killzone with added multiplayer and it would still be classed as a live service game

Logo looks dope Days Gone director/crybaby is out they have my doubt.

@UltimateOtaku91 they are hiring and you are right sony needs more studios but not for the lack of games but for the promese of the number of live services they did to the investors

Days Gone was an UE4 game, one of the few Sony ones. So there’s a good chance this will be UE5, especially if they are “building upon the systems of days gone”.

I’m very curious how a first party PS5 only UE5 game will look, especially since the engine was built primarily with PS5 architecture in mind.

@velio84 A similar thing happened with SOCOM (3 + Fireteam Bravo, Combined Assault + Fireteam Bravo 2). It was really cool stuff, completing crosstalk objectives in 1 game changed the other game when you connected the PS2 to the PSP.

It’s a travesty that they aren’t making Days Gone 2! 😫

They're going to have robots next, mark my words!!

So. It's begun....

I suppose we have our choice of what the IP is then:
MMO zombies in a fantasy world
Competitive 4v4 zombies in offices
Battle Royale zombies in space
Openworld sandbox building/crafting with cartoon zombies
Gothic zombie Souls-like
Zombies-amongus asymmetrical multiplayer
Sly 5

If the game is a live service then I'll just pretend they are on hiatus and will come back for Days Gone 2 or something else single player related.

Days Gone was critically underrated. Honestly, one of my top games of the last generation. I thought it brought more new ideas to the table than Spider-Man did.

I thought it was prolly tied for my 3rd favorite exclusive of the PS4 era behind GoW and Horizon. (Tied with GoT, to be clear.)

@lacerz
Truly the dumbest name in history used for zombies. That along with all the other names like newts. Really shows that some out of touch nerd made them up lol. Otherwise loved the game, but whenever those freaking freaks freaking names were yelled, I just got out of the immersion.

Mine was better

Game as service again? $ony bad bad

I'd kill for them to make a new Syphon Filter. I'd even settle for a remake of the original trilogy.

This game isn’t even a live service game it would have coop like days gone 2 was supposed to have. I really do think you guys should stop trashing theses Sony live service games before we see them a lot theses games might be really good.

We literally know basically nothing about the game other than it includes some sort of multiplayer and folks are already disappointed...

I'm primarily a single player guy myself too but let's at least wait and see more before we start casting stones at them yeah?

I like the logo by the way. It both looks like the mountains their office is located near and also looks like some bent wiring to relate to the fact they are game developers. It fits them!

@Korgon I mean Sony didnt become the King during the PS4 Era with Multiplayer Games but with their Single Player experiences. So its understandable that most Fans roll their eyes when they hear about Sony releasing 10 GaaS in the next few years and plan to invest less into Single Player ones. And its also not like the market is already oversaturated with MP and GaaS

@IonMagi I get people not being happy about Sony putting so much focus on live service games going forward, but the stupid thing is people jumping to conclusions about Sony Bend's new game. Nowhere does he say that it's a live service game or even a multiplayer only game. It includes multiplayer, but people automatically jump to stupid conclusions for no reason.

It includes multiplayer, so people should wait until they actually announce what the game is before they freak out. It honestly could be like Ghost of Tsushima in that it's primarily a single player game with a substantial multiplayer component as well. We'll see.

@Kooky_Daisuke We are currently working on a new IP that includes multiplayer .So Single player with multiplayer? Like Last Of Us

Lost me at multi-player

@Kooky_Daisuke I couldn't have said it better myself.

What do they mean with this? Is it a game with different characters but same freakers and stuff? I am not that interested in multiplayer but I do think Days Gone has a ton of potential

Couldn't get a sequel but instead a live service multiplayer game that will probably be filled with microtransactions

@Kooky_Daisuke

Not like Days Gone was any good. Let them take a crack at mp.

Yisus these doom and gloomers.

I like the old logo better.we will see what kind of game they are making.word up son

@RevGaming Yep it wasn't good ... It was great 👌🏻

@Kooky_Daisuke

"They have announced that they have 12 live service games in development. So that's most of the studios working on them."

Wrong. A lot of studios have multiple projects. They said 25 games are being and that's probably a bit higher.

"Happy to be proven wrong but they only seem interested in profit now and extorting every penny that they can get away with."

Wrong. They have always been like that.

@IonMagi
I would argue there was more than just the excellent single player games that contributed to PS4's success. Regardless however they aren't stopping single player game development in favor of GaaS games. We will still see single player games in future from them...just now there might be a few multiplayer games coming from them too.

@Would_you_kindly

An outlier is an outlier. The game had average scores and it was nobody's mention for goty, which Sony is usually in those. I get it, I haven't tried it. I may like it too, but eh. Maybe they're better at multiplayer than they are at single player. Plus it includes multiplayer. It's not only multiplayer.

Guys, just buy what you like and don't buy what you don't like. Stop worrying about the inevitable, the things you can't control.

Some of you really sound like you can't live without playstation single player games.

@NEStalgia

These sound cool tho.

@RevGaming I think alot of people were really over critical of it I know it was my goty for 2019 well tied with resident evil 2 remake because I'm a big fan of resident evil

@Would_you_kindly

and that's fine. That's a good thing for you. Not a bad one. I'm just saying sometimes we have to consider we are exceptions when enjoying or not enjoying something and realise we're going to miss or not miss more of that, like with Days Gone 2, Killzone or InFamous.

I would want a new KZ and IF but Horizon and Ghost took their place.

@RevGaming never played killzone I'm going to start them on ps now one day soon

@Danloaded
They have said multiple times that their next game is a new IP.

@Kooky_Daisuke lmao 🤣 it wouldn’t be pushsquare without these kind of comments 😂 .

multiplayer never gets old and sony knows it’s the the future ! love to see it !

@Kooky_Daisuke yes, yes, we know. Doom and gloom.

@RevGaming yup. And it's not like overall as gamers we don't have anything to play. Apart from the excellent first party games, there are tons of interesting/amazing third party games constantly coming out, hence the huge backlogs that most gamers complain about.

I think it's become cool to judge a game that isn't a single player experience. Let's give them a chance. DG was good after they fixed the launch issues. Hopefully they have less of them this time around

Well at least it only “includes” multiplayer, so a chance it’s not a focus. And “open world” doesn’t have to mean bloated rubbish. Still, not two terms that inspire any type of enthusiasm from me. More interested in what they might do in spite of this announcement, rather than because of it.

days gone 2 dont need no multiplayer!!!!!
open world to explore that is right up my street!

@get2sammyb

We don't know anything yet, but multiplayer is a dirty word these days. So comments like "live-service game" or "This looks like it will be great, I'm super excited" are equally disingenuous. Just a big ol' pile of... nothing really. We shall see.

@Korgon

Feel like this is the internet in a nutshell nowadays. Tiny bit of info and people already ***** on it without seeing anything at all. Sad times honestly.

They really put a lot of thought into the new logo. I like how they incorporated their lifestyles and location. The new game sounds interesting. I’ll definitely stay tuned for more on it.

Days Gone 2 - That's all I want. Honestly blaming trash review scores from tanking its marketing. It put me off. But to me, it was just as good as TLOU2.
