@Haruki_NLI They haven't released a game since Naughty Dog made one, so if they're still open it makes sense MM would be.
Also they're a small studio so running costs wouldn't be as high.
Either way, it would be a terrible shame for them to close. Sony definitely needs to vary it's first party studios. I'm very glad they're still open, and it looks they'll be releasing a new game. There's nothing to be gained by us when Sony closes studios. It's still far better for us if Sony releases more games, even if they make a loss on some of them (unless they somehow go bankrupt).
There should be an option for just online play at a far cheaper price. And then it should be needed for free to play games, not games that you have paid money for.
I have zero interest in Fair games and am not interested in seeing it at State of Play. However in the scheme of making business, annoying people by showing them something they wouldn't be interested anyway isn't really gonna have an adverse sales wise. If 10 people are furious for seeing where it shouldn't have been shown, but 1 person learns about it, likes it and decides to buy, then it makes Sony money. Annoying people isn't a bad thing if it makes them money. And State of Plays is the perfect way to advertise first party games, single player or not.
I'm just baffled that there's even a desire to make new Bubsy games. I get its mainly independent Devs who get the license, but it's mental that Bubsy gets new games when Ape Escape has had nothing in well over a decade.
I'm not interested in the "free" games, I just want to be able to play online. If anything it should be needed for free to play games, not for games I've already paid money for.
If they have to charge for online, it should be the opposite of what it is now. It should be free to play online for a game you've paid for, whereas it makes some sense to charge for online for free to play games.
Also have no interest in monthly games, if being to play online with no monthly games was a far cheaper option that would be better.
Only played the first game recently, never been so stumped and then felt so clever in a puzzle game (fair few I had to look up). I probably should play the second.
Really glad that Silent Hill is making a comeback, I wouldn't have believed it if I got told it 10 years ago. Not impossible for Konami as a whole to make a comeback.
I know barely anything about this game, but what's weird about the discussion?
Not liking a game because there is barely any necessary input and need to pass basic skill checks, is completely reasonable. Of course people are entitled to like Mixtape as well, but it's dumb getting defensive over what seems like valid criticism.
This article mentions no examples of it being woke, or people bashing it for being woke so where's that all come from?
An unexpected surprise, but a welcome one to be sure. I was terrible at Call of the Sea and had to look up half the puzzles, hopefully I do better at this.
@Accipitridae Arguably Uncharted 4 was more mechanically simple than TLOU, so I think it fair to say it would be seen as a different style. Yes I reckon there would be people that wouldn't be happy that it's more simplistic, but not everything has to please everyone. There are plenty of other series to pick from if they like those sorts of mechanics, they shouldn't be added for the sake of it unless they're actually beneficial. More isn't always better.
Funnily enough it was the game I got in my PS4 bundle. I couldn't get into it because I'm not a fan of racing sims, and was bitter because I wanted another Motorstorm.
Amazing game graphically, and Evolution Studios got done dirty.
@Frmknst Can't speak about the others, but you add Pixelopus to that. Not on the same level as Japan Studio, but Entwined and Concrete Genie were solid/great games.

Re: LittleBigPlanet Dev's Next PS5 Game Could Have Open World Aspects
@JAMes-BroWWWn Tearaway was great, I'd happily take that or a new LBP.
Re: Now It's Raised the Price, PlayStation Wants Your Thoughts on PS Plus

Re: Gravity Rush 2 Fans Find a Way to Play Sony's Neglected PS4 Classic at 4K, 60fps
@Yor-sama As long as it doesn't take too much time I don't mind too much. Especially if they announce something good after (new LBP plz).

Re: Luna Abyss (PS5) - Don't Skip This AA DOOM-Like Shooter
It reminds me of Metal Eden, which was another AA take on Doom, that came out last year. I dunno how similar it is?
Either way it looks great so I'm sold. I believe it's also make by a British Dec which is icing on the cake.

Re: Gravity Rush 2 Fans Find a Way to Play Sony's Neglected PS4 Classic at 4K, 60fps
@Yor-sama The Concord dev closed almost instao after release, but yeah I wouldn't object with trading the Fair games dev.
Re: Sony to Show Latest State of Play in Theatres for First Time Since 2018
I like to think this means it will be good
Why is this only relegated to the US, with nothing in any other country?
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 2nd June, 60+ Minutes of Wolverine and PS5 Games
@Broosh That's fair, I'll be interested in whatever they make.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 2nd June, 60+ Minutes of Wolverine and PS5 Games
@Broosh I would take 60 minute SoP on just a new Astro Bot game.
Other than that, I'm desperate for some new Media Molecule game.
Re: Gravity Rush 2 Fans Find a Way to Play Sony's Neglected PS4 Classic at 4K, 60fps
@Yor-sama I think I would be tempted to keep Bungie so I could force them to make a PlayStation version of Halo (would probably fail but hey ho).
I'd easily sell San Diego studio.
Honestly, there's a lot I would trade to get Japan Studio back.
Re: 'PS5 Is for the Payers': Just 18% Think PS Plus Essential Is Good Value for Money in 2026
I'm not interested in the "free" games, I just want to be able to play online. If anything it should be needed for free to play games, not for games I've already paid money for.
Re: 'It Should Be Free to Play Online Games': PS Plus Price Squeeze Taken to Task by PS5 Owners
If they have to charge for online, it should be the opposite of what it is now. It should be free to play online for a game you've paid for, whereas it makes some sense to charge for online for free to play games.
Also have no interest in monthly games, if being to play online with no monthly games was a far cheaper option that would be better.
Re: Xbox Fans Flock to Online Suggestions Box to Tell Microsoft to Keep Games Off PS5
Understandable, a lot PS players think the inverse is best for PlayStation.
Re: Gravity Rush 2 Fans Find a Way to Play Sony's Neglected PS4 Classic at 4K, 60fps
@Mighty_Zoltan I'd kill for another Ape Escape. PS first party games feel so samey nowadays. At least we got Astro Bot.
Re: Sony Reportedly Confirms Shift Back to PS5 Single Player Exclusive Games
Makes sense. Sad thing that the games won't be accessible for more people, but definitely better for Playstation's brand.
Re: Gravity Rush 2 Fans Find a Way to Play Sony's Neglected PS4 Classic at 4K, 60fps
@Yor-sama The news of Japan Studio shutting apart from Asobi, was probably one of the worst pieces of gaming news I've ever received.
Re: Latest PS5 Lawsuit Claims Sony Could 'Double Dip' on Trump's Tariffs
The US should compensate the entire world for all of the economic damage it's caused in the last two years.
Re: 'There's Truth to It': Sony 'Considering' Bringing Back Your Fave Franchises on PS5
@Meowmixes98 Agreed.
And even it it wasn't for competition, variety is a really good thing.
Re: 'There's Truth to It': Sony 'Considering' Bringing Back Your Fave Franchises on PS5
Only 3 picks!?
I want new Ape Escape, Siren, Motorstorm, Medieval, and Gravity Rush.
Re: Poll: Would You Buy an inFAMOUS Collection for PS5?
There should be an option for: No, I like Infamous but have no interest in a remaster when I have the games on PS3.
Re: You'll No Longer Need a Pricey Headset to Play Two of PSVR2's Best Games
Oooh. I found the first game hard to get into because of the VR, but I absolutely loved the setting. Will definitely get this.
Re: What Do You Want from a May 2026 State of Play Showcase?
As I wish for every showcase, I would like any news about Asobi Studio, and confirmation that Media Molecule isn't dead.
Re: What Do You Want from a May 2026 State of Play Showcase?
@daedricwolf Aye first game was fantastic, Very much looking forward to the sequel.
Re: The Talos Principle 3 Revealed as the 'Grand Finale' to Great Puzzle Series

Re: Konami Successfully Revives Silent Hill with Strong Sales for 2 Remake, F
That's great news, f is a solid game.
Really glad that Silent Hill is making a comeback, I wouldn't have believed it if I got told it 10 years ago. Not impossible for Konami as a whole to make a comeback.

Wish they just made Dead Space 4 instead of the remake.
Not surprised, but still disappointed.
Re: Rumour: Rayman Legends Remake May Be Announced This Summer
Why not just make a new game?

Re: Poll: One Year Later, Did Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Deserve All the Praise?
Haven't played it since, but yeah it's an amazing game. My only complaint is that I wasn't a fan of the final act, other than that it's phenomenal.
Re: Atomfall Joins the Ranks of The Last of Us and Fallout with Its Own TV Series Adaptation
I was disappointed by the game because of it's gameplay, but I absolutely loved the atmosphere and world building. This could be promising.

Re: We'll Hear from PlayStation Royalty Ken Kutaragi at a UK Event Later This Year

Re: Round Up: Crimson Desert Reviews Are a Major Disappointment

Re: Resident Evil Requiem PS5 Flying Off Shelves, Now at 6 Million Sales
@PuppetMaster Agreed. I doubt they'd sell as well as Resident Evil, but I'm sure those games would do well if Capcom decided to give them another go.
Re: The Fastidiously Multiformat Square Enix Skips PS5 with Yet Another Game
If they're disappointed with FF16's sales, I really don't think limiting a JRPG to Xbox and PC is gonna give them the result they want.
