Title: Insider batting averages!
Post by: Legend on Dec 05, 2015, 08:30 PM
Let's use this thread to keep track at how good insiders are at hyping/informing us. Doesn't matter if they're legit or not, all that matters is if their info as we understood it comes true. That way we know how likely their future leaks are to be accurate.

So I'm taking this to mean that 4.0 is coming really soon and includes PSN name changes. Locked in!


Also means that Tidux was wrong about PSX.

It's true that it ended abruptly..
And it's also odd that Shu did not go up once? He usually does. I kept waiting for the "Shu section"..

This type of sentiment is why I felt the thread was necessary.

With insiders, everyone focuses on if they're bullshitting or telling the truth. Do these insiders really have secret information? Was their leak true at that time? Did they just get confused? etc. It's all about verifying their claims, not verifying their usefulness. Tidux caused us to believe Bend would be their; Bend wasn't their. Thus if next year he causes us to believe a different studio is going to announce a game, statistically speaking he's likely to be wrong again.

Hence using the term "batting averages." It's all about how probable their pending leaks will end up correct.

I don't consider myself an insider tbh. I just get hold of information either through work (such as market research reports) or through friends/contacts. Plus I also compile a lot of data during my spare time from publicly available sources and analyse the data points to draw various conclusions.

I'm not one of those people to make bold predictions and make it come across like it's fact.

Cream and Aqua, as well as members Cosmic Queso and John Harker on NeoGAF forums will always post trustworthy data as they have direct access to the data.

What I will say is that most of what I post is available publicly. If it's not available publicly and is something from a market research report or something I've been told/given then I won't post it unless I am more than 90% sure that -
1. The information is correct
2. I have interpreted the information correctly

We'll I just consider you so as you had NPD data before everyone on gaf except Cosmic at the time and your showed surprised (guessing ps4 #'s?) so that's why I thought so. Plus as you mention you post all the shipments for certain games in Asia so that's why. By the way that Ryng_Tolu guy sure likes your twitter  :o

Yup, this is one of the rare occasions that I had access to some of the NPD report before the PR came out. I was shocked because I predicted 2.2m for XB1 & PS4 combined but what we ended up with was 2.8m combined. A record for both platform holders.

Yes, Ryng_Tolu like to collect data as well so I would imagine that's why he tweets me a lot.

The weird thing about tidux is that if you watch Colin and Gregs PS podcast they'll mention him from time to time, call him their friend and seem to put faith in him.
Title: Re: Insider batting averages!
Post by: Rorono on Dec 16, 2015, 10:33 AM
Was any of this year's PS exclusives announced named with a P as the first letter of the name? Tidux said it'd be at E3. At the time I thought Parasite eve cause a few hints from other people had already been given in that sense, despite not trusting Tidux if seemed reasonable
I think the game is being made but announcement was delayed (much like Horizon might have been announced earlier if Sony wanted or how NNK2 was delayed from E3 to PSX), though if that's what he was talking about he was probably just taking it from those other people instead of having his own info.

PSVR $299 solo and ~$430 for bundle including move+camera+game.

This was published on some sites today, but nobody made a thread:https://www.reddit.com/r/playstation...obably_sell_a/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/playstationvr/comments/43fj9x/rumor_rep_mentioned_sony_would_probably_sell_a/)

rumors they were hoping to price the HMD at $299, which won't include the camera or PlayStation move controllers. But that they would probably have a separate starter kit where you could get the camera and move controllers and a game for around $129. For $428 + tax for the complete PSVR + camera + move controllers, would be a bargain!

 
My comment: This is pretty much what I expect them to do.
 Lock if too rumory :P

The other thing the Sony rep mentioned is that they were apparently hoping to support the first gen PSVR on the PS5, which should run it even better.

Eh, I don't think that's the best comparison. People expect handhelds to be rather affordable and with Nintendo as their direct competitor they were pretty much forced to go with that trend.

All gaming VR headsets aside from Sonys are definitely going to have a much larger cost of entry than $300, the Occulus is $600 and from what I've heard people are expecting the Vive to be even more expensive. I don't know how much money Sony would lose per headset if they sold them for $300, but I'd imagine it being a sum that's simply not worth it, when they'll even have the clear price advantage at $450 or so.

That being said, I must say that $300 bucks for the standalone headset would definitely take a lot of the wind out of the broader commercial potential of the Vive and Occulus as the price differential would be just too big. It would also give VR a chance to hit the mainstream a lot faster though, which is why I'm sceptical, since Sony said they'd be happy with something like 1.5 million PSVRs being sold in 2016, at $300 I'd expect the PSVR to be able to sell up to 5 million in 2016 if it actually releases in the summer and the software support isn't totally horrible.

I guess we'll find out more at GDC, it'll be interesting.

Vita's an important comparison because its specs were crazy at release. OLED was super expensive at the time, processing power was far beyond everything else, and before the age of cheap smartphones. At the time I remember most educated price predictions were $400. The $250 reveal is a great reminder that Sony can price PSVR low even if it has cutting edge tech.

In the general sense PSVR seems fairly inexpensive to make. OLED+breakout box+optics+plastic. If they used off the shelf components when possible it could cost $199 and still make a profit. Reason OR and Vive are so expensive is because they're using highly customized parts and didn't design these things to be cheap. OR invented their own fabric type for pete's sake!

To be fair, everything is custom. Custom OLED display with custom pixel placement, RBG sub pixels and 120 hz refresh rate. In many ways this screen is actually better than the two found in the rift.  Optics are just plain expensive. Also custom as they can't just pull optics from their camera line as these are much larger.  Even the strap is more advanced than what in in the rift.  The only thing they could have pulled from the self would have been the parts in the break out box, but somehow I doubt they aren't custom is some way.

From what I can tell Oculus on has two advantages, The ability to use two cameras and 2 higher resolution screens. Two screen could be an advantage but I doubt it's really worth the extra cost. The total package isn't more advanced that PSVR. They just seem that way with their fancy textures and design, Which i do find superior to psvr.

I'm kind of talking about two things at the same time, but I'm too lazy right now to fix it.

PSVR has an official price of $399 standalone and $499 with camera+move. That makes DemonNite right and Reddit Sirdomino wrong. Also Forza 6 and FH3 on Windows 10 are right.

I'm a Game Developer working in a mid-sized Dev Team working on an PC indie game port in Europe.[/font]

 I am willing to provide confirmation / specific details to mods.[/font]

 There has been a lot of false leaks regarding NX, all i can confirm at this point is that it's not a handheld. It is a console and it will be announced late April and will be released around Holiday 2016.[/font]

 At least 1 Nintendo Game launching this year will use Unreal Engine 4, our game is also using Unreal Engine 4.[/font]

 If you want confirmation regarding UE4, research some of the upcoming games Nintendo Projects on linkedin, lot of Nintendo game devs have listed UE4 for unannounced upcoming games (Wii U and 3DS don't have any UE4 projects being developed by Nintendo studies at the moment).[/font]

 There is a genuine dev on Reddit who can't give you the name of the console at this moment and more specific details, our team can (which is less known and has less known games).[/font]

 The final and last thing i can say is that the power leaks from SuperMetalDave are true, is using ARM Architecture and a is Console more powerful than the XBO/PS4.[/font]

 Don't worry too much, and one last secret: The name is 'Nintendo Extra' (NEX)[/font]

 https://www.reddit.com/r/Nintendo_NX/comments/4cyr2t/details_regarding_nx_console_nx_ue4_dev/[/color][/font]

 To the mods: Please contact me through my email address if you want further/more specific details.[/font]

 Update 1:[/font]

 I haven't received a message from the mods, but in the meanwhile: to clear one thing up, some genuine leakers have said ARM, some have said x86, the NX is using both but one for the home console and one for the upcoming handheld. In essence, the ARM architecture is a small piece of the overall NX home console and specifically done to port handheld games to the Home console, not the other way around. Devs are not forced to create games for it.[/font]

 Name: NEX (Nintendo Extra) Platform: Home console[/font]

 NEX CPU is about 30% more powerful than XBO/PS4 NEX GPU is 50% more than powerful XBO/PS4, also more RAM. NEX RAM is 12GB RAM, 3 for NinOS, 9 for Games.[/font]

 The leaks about the 2 different controllers are indeed true. In general, this is a very good console and a new time for Nintendo to gain back support of third-party devs and core gamers in general.[/font]

 Update 2: In contact with a Reddit mod for verification in the next 24 hours.[/font]

 Update 3: I have sent proof of my connections with Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe but Reddit has multiple steps of verification. The mod needs more specific info for verification, info i'm considering at the moment. Hope you all understand what i mean.[/font]

 Update 4: I have sent more proof to the mods, i hope to get verified in the next 24 hours.[/font]

 In the meanwhile, some info about the RAM: The amount of RAM is 12GB DDR3, 3GB reserved for the new NinOS (Unified Nintendo OS), 9GB for Games. In regards to some comments asking why Nintendo will use DDR3 not faster RAM? It's because the overall architecture is powerful and doesn't need expensive RAM.[/font]

 Update 5: There is a Nintendo Direct planned before the Nintendo Investor meeting. Nintendo will announce it within the next few days.[/font]

 Key points my sources highlighted to me:[/font]

 NinOS
 Nintendo Missions
 Zelda news
 NX News

So an AMD APU 30% better on CPU front than the extreme weak PS4/Xbox One CPU and a GPU 50% better than PS4's GPU.

With slow DDR3.

You know that exactly the same mistake did with Wii U hardware? A machine a bit more strong than PS360 with serious RAM bootleneck.

An APU like that in 16nn can be over 30% cheaper than actual PS4's APU.

So many people started posting them so they shut it all down. Also the one with the gaf thread about them was fake, shocking.

This thread has tons of NX leaks http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1207224 (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1207224)

10x says "The NX will be more powerful than the PS4. By a noticeable amount." Smash, Zelda, Mario Maker, and Splatoon are all being ported. System is x86 CPU and polaris-like GPU at 14nm. MercurySteam is making a currently announced game for the system. FFXV is being ported. Not having a simultaneous launch. Tons of new games and new IPs. The NX gimmick is that it has a refined Wii U gamepad that works over internet.

Emily Rodgers says Smash, Zelda, Mario Maker, and Splatoon are being ported. She also says that 10x is wrong about the gimmick and hardware specs, though she does say it is stronger than PS4.

LCGeek says the NX CPU is ~20% stronger than PS4.

Yup. Also adding Ruin4r since it basically confirms he's in the know.

He says Dead Don't Ride, Crash, The Last Guardian, The Last of Us 2, and "unnamed space project" were to be announced at Sony e3 2014. Obviously he was wrong with all of this, but it seems the games themselves are real.

 All I needed from you is to confirm the Christmas/snow theme - that news alone has gotten me so excited that I plan on playing DR2, Case West, and DR3. Previously I only played DR1 and Case Zero. Honestly Christmas/snow elevates this game to a must purchase for me. I'm really excited about this game and I can see it being a highlight of Microsoft's conference. This E3 will be great. :)

 
I'm with you on that. It's my most anticipated game (not including Legion) solely because of that. It's part of why I loved The Division's NYC @ Christmas setting, and why Arkham Origins is my favourite Arkham game (for the time being)

 I love snow so much. I'm on winter/snow overload with Rise of the Tomb Raider - it's do awesome there and it would be amazing to kill zombies in winter.

 
The game takes place during the holiday rush. There should be snow outside, but the mall is all Christmas-ed up :)

Tonight, she may be vindicated. Or embarrassed. Or a combination of both.
 “I am constantly worried about that,” Dale told me during a recent interview. “That is honestly the most tiring thing about doing leaks, is the sitting and waiting and wondering, ‘Am I gonna lose all credibility because all of this is gonna turn out wrong?’”
 ...
 “Sharing information can be somewhat addictive,” Dale said. “It’s something that, while it does have its stresses attached to it, there is also something very rewarding about doing it. And I know there are times where I have probably said things that were either granular or I didn’t need to say, because sometimes you just wanna say, ‘Hey I know a few more things,’ so that when information starts coming out it’s obvious that OK, yeah, you did know more.’”

In February, a NeoGAF poster called Trevelyan9999—also known as SuperMetalDave—published a list of upcoming 3DS games and marketing budgets that turned out to be real. It mostly consisted of codenames and didn’t offer any useful information, but it was accurate.
 Later, SuperMetalDave reported a number of NX rumors on his YouTube channel that proved to be very much false, including a claim that the NX would use AMD’s x86 architecture and be more powerful than the PlayStation 4. If you’re wondering about the discrepancy: According to one person familiar with the situation, SuperMetalDave got his hands on that 3DS marketing plan because of an e-mail that was accidentally sent to a large group of people, then passed along to him. He didn’t have any real “inside” information beyond that e-mail, which might help explain why his subsequent reports were off the mark.

She made several outlandish claims and had a tendency to delete tweets and posts every few months after things stopped panning out. But in the Switch era, she’s been on the ball, correctly reporting on some hardware details (plus the existence of Paper Mario for Wii U) as well as others that may or may not pan out tonight. (Rogers declined to comment on this story.)

 ...
 “I’m confident in my own reporting, but things do change,” Phillips said. “It has been fascinating, following the Switch line-up so closely over the past six months, to see how late things get finalised. I think there’s a belief that release dates and announcement timings get nailed down months in advance when actually they are incredibly fluid. So yes, there have been times when I’ve read things and thought, ‘Hmm, that doesn’t sound like it’s the case anymore.’ And it’s certainly kept me on my toes—the biggest example has been Zelda’s release date—now back on for March but previously pencilled in for summer.”

I updated the op more. So many insiders suck.

Let me know if you've heard any rumors I should add.

These are fun things to keep track of.  

A few insiders are excellent.  Anything from Shinobi is practically be considered official.  

A few insiders clearly aren't insiders and are just BS'ing.  

Then there are a few others where you aren't sure what they are.  Have a few things right that seem reasonably difficult to be predictions and a few things wrong that make it seem like they don't know anything.  

Then there's ones like Demonnite, where you read their posts and you absolutely know he knows something, but he doesn't share anything anyways... So it barely matters.

Huh it turns out I hadn't read this thread in a while and the first post I had to read was that horizon might be delayed to early 2017. Time does fly.

So looking at OP, the most reliable leakers are shinobi, kotaku and polygon. Good to know, I'll avoid all mentions of their names in the next two weeks. Maybe you should add for Zhuge that he leaked two conferences fully as well

So apparently this guy leaked the title of Fallout 76, and now he's teasing a bunch of other games.

This guy correctly leaked the title Fallout 76 and it's supposed genre 4 hours ahead of the official announcement as seen in this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/8n7i4o/bethesda_is_announcing_fallout_vault_76/).

 He has since went on to share more supposed information about other E3 conferences:

 Bethesda will have more to announce at E3, no Starfield (https://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomHearts/comments/8nbm28/kh3_kingdom_hearts_3_will_be_released_in_2018/dzuag0a/)

 Kingdom Hearts 3 releasing this year (https://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomHearts/comments/8nbm28/kh3_kingdom_hearts_3_will_be_released_in_2018/)

 Death Stranding gameplay will be shown at Sony's conference (https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/8n7i4o/bethesda_is_announcing_fallout_vault_76/dztu80h/)

 Sunset Overdrive 2, new Gears of War, Halo and Forza Horizon at Microsoft's conference (https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/8n7i4o/bethesda_is_announcing_fallout_vault_76/dzto3rj/)

 That Nintendo E3 Showroom Instruction document is apparently legit, new Punch - Out, F - Zero, Star Fox and titles for Fire Emblem, Metroid Prime 4 and Yoshi, Fortnite and Fallout 3 Anniversary (https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/8n7i8b/can_anyone_confirm_if_this_leak_is_fake_or_not/)

 Cyberpunk 2077 will have a gameplay trailer (https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/8n7i4o/bethesda_is_announcing_fallout_vault_76/dzu9zor/?context=8&depth=9)

 Possible nudge at ES6 being announced next year  (https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/8n7i4o/bethesda_is_announcing_fallout_vault_76/dzu1ubk/)

 Some of the stuff listed here is basically a given but there's some interesting titles in there as well. He'll probably post more in the near future, as it stands right now he's pretty credible.Last edited by SmileyAja - 27 minutes ago[/color]

I just revisited this thread a couple days ago too!

It would be great to have more members working to keep it updated. It's really nice to be able to just quickly pull up an insider's track record and get a general sense of the probability of their info being correct. Especially since it can be hard to remember specific posts and how they were interpreted at the time.

Twitter user @Tidux, who's known for leaking inside information about gaming products that turns out the be accurate, said that the final dev kits of the PS5 are out and the PS5's performance is better than the Xbox Series X in all the most important areas.

This thread also reminded me that Zhuge posted here for a bit, and he's really blown up since then. Man, this forum could have been so much bigger :(

We were definitely held back by an identity crises of sorts. If we just followed the ResetEra approach and were an unapologetic reboot of the chertz we could have really grown. Right now we're closer to our PM hangout days than an actual forum but I think it will all work out eventually.

Maybe with next gen we should reboot this thread. If people post archives of the rumors and our interpretations of what they mean, I can add them to the OP.

sounded unlikely to me. I also can confirm RIGHT NOW Sony didn't buy the IP, because something else I know is Konami is currently shopping around for other Silent Hill media stuff. I even heard for the Kojima game, which isn't a thing yet but is in the talks, that Sony & Konami

are talking about splitting the bill to help fund the game for the record, which does directly imply that Sony doesn't own the IP. But apparently there's something involved for all parties to make this potentially happen, I'm sure exclusivity is part of it but I'm not clear on

Toyama and Akira were both working on the game along, and Ito I heard more concretely was working on it.

Now, even though I have more receipts for this than I'm sharing right now, I'm still not 100% sold. It almost sounds too "dreamy" to me, like an ideal situation. I will say

Klee was right about both being over 10.
Right about them being within 30%.
Arguably right about them being very close.  
Wrong about PS5 being ahead.

I guess we'll find out when they both come out.  It's interesting that Cerny felt the clock speed idea was the way to go.  I would assume the power draw solution was to keep thermals in place.  
Did any "insider" say anything about the PS5's cooling solution?  They may have been right.

My actual suspicion is $549 USD, as was quoted here and can see the discussion. The range shared I've heard is 60,000 - 70,000 yen, which precisely in USD something like $565 USD to $660 USD. However, I suspect they'll go for $549 in USD and maybe to compete will go lower.
 
 I don't know the final price, I don't know how this exactly will translated to USD, but I also know the yen ballpark I know isn't battleship. If they go for $499 USD, then great. But I'm placing my bets on $549 USD and I don't think they can go lower than $500 really from what I've heard.

Someone on Reddit put together a list or 18 rumored/upcoming games, with evidence/"insider" comments.

An in-depth look at 18* unannounced PlayStation 5 exclusives | Including a new FROM SOFTWARE collab : PS5 (https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/k58vxg/an_indepth_look_at_18_unannounced_playstation_5/)


 
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>An in-depth look at 18* unannounced PlayStation 5 exclusives | Including a new FROM SOFTWARE collab<br>Speculation<br>Arrowhead Game Studios (Magicka, Gauntlet, Helldivers)<br><br>Testament<br><br>In 2016, Arrowhead started to work on their first ever AAA game - a project that would require not only the attention of the entire team, but also to grow the studio way beyond the 35 employees that worked on Arrowhead around that time. That&#39;s why in 2017 they moved into a bigger office where they could accommodate all of their staff - both old and new.<br><br>Then in 2018, Arrowhead&#39;s co-founder stated in an interview that they were making a third-person game this time around and, due to the change in perspective, moving the focus from local co-op to making it purely online co-op. Friendly fire is confirmed to be making a return.<br><br>In early 2019, some Arrowhead developers were spotted at GDC wearing jackets with a &quot;Testament Dev Team&quot; written in the back. While recapping 2019, it was stated on the Arrowhead website that they had made a &quot;butt-ton of progress&quot; on the game and that by the end of the year the studio had already grown to roughly 60 people.<br><br>Bend Studio (Siphon Filter, Days Gone)<br><br>Days Gone<br><br>Days Gone ends on a cliffhanger, but so did The Order 1886 and, well, we all know how that ended up - so let&#39;s delve a bit deeper into why Days Gone 2 will be a thing.<br><br>In 2019, a couple of weeks before the game&#39;s launch, a Sony PR guy said that Days Gone was seen as a &quot;franchise&quot; in Sony&#39;s eyes, stating that &quot;the goal is always to make a game that people love and want more of&quot;. One month later, the game came out and delivered some surprisingly solid numbers not only at launch but also throughout the year, thanks to the good word-of-mouth it had amongst the community.<br><br>According to snort_cannon, the success of the game came as a surprise even to Sony, who was expecting Days Gone to be the disappointment and Death Stranding being the one doing crazy numbers.<br><br>Later that year, Bend Studio managing director Chris Reese kind of teased that a sequel was in the works when asked about it during an interview: &quot;This is a world that we want to keep breathing more life into, and explore many, many different avenues. So who knows, we&#39;ll see!&quot;<br><br>Bluepoint Games (Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted, Shadow of the Colossus, Demon&#39;s Souls)<br><br>Bloodborne Remastered<br><br>In May 2020, NeoGAF user Celine.D.Sykes - who previously discussed this project in February 2019 on the ResetEra forums - talked about the Bloodborne remaster in greater detail: &quot;During my time on ResetEra, I only knew that From Software wanted Bloodborne to release on PC. Unfortunately, a PC port would need a lot of work […] and reworking Bloodborne&#39;s engine would take a great amount of work. The game logic is tied to framerate, among many other baffling decisions. The last time From Software tried to change the inner logic of an engine; it resulted in the infamous PC port of the first Dark Souls.&quot;<br><br>&quot;Making a long story short, Sony said they were interested in a potential Bloodborne remaster for PS5, with a lot more work done, like some QoL added and some cut-content being introduced. Both From Software and Sony agreed to not just up the resolution and the framerate, but to make something great. FromSoftware has been authorized to release the game on PC, but only some months after the remaster hits PS5.&quot;<br><br>&quot;Last time I heard about it, Bloodborne remaster would be part of PS5 line-up, but I don&#39;t quite believe it since I think the spotlight will be stolen by another similar title [Demon&#39;s Souls] that should be announced in June. I think they might save the Bloodborne remaster for some months after PS5 release, but I could be wrong about that particular point.&quot;<br><br>According to another report by a different source, the game is being developed by both QLOC - the studio behind 2018&#39;s Dark Souls: Remastered - and Bluepoint Games. Now that Demon&#39;s Souls is out and considering how far along Bloodborne Remastered has been reported to be, I wouldn&#39;t be surprised if it is currently planned to be revealed at The Game Awards.<br><br>Unannounced<br><br>On November 20th 2020, in response to a user who claimed that the rumored Bluepoint acquisition by Sony would be very boring as far as hype goes, KatharsisT said: &quot;If you knew what Bluepoint is on at the moment, you wouldn&#39;t say that (Yeah, it&#39;s a hype post [and] you&#39;ll have to wait to know what it is)&quot;. Shortly after that, a mod stepped in to say that &quot;KatharsisT has shown sufficient evidence to support this claim.&quot;<br><br>A couple of posts later, MarsipanRumpan - the guy behind the Bluepoint acquisition rumor - also backed the statements made by KatharsisT &quot;I'm totally on your side. Talked with my source, I think we have the same info regarding their next remake. People who aren't hyped for Bluepoint don't know what their next project is as you said. Because that shame is [mindblowing].&quot;<br><br>Regarding the rumors of a Metal Gear Solid remake, all I&#39;m gonna say is: don&#39;t listen to what Moore&#39;s Law is Dead and other youtubers are saying, it is all battleship; but at the same time don&#39;t lose faith, as chances of Bluepoint&#39;s next remake being MGS are high, considering how it seems they&#39;re working on a bigger and more prestigious title than Demon&#39;s Souls and also the good relationship Sony currently has with Konami.<br><br>From Software (Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Deráciné)<br><br>Unannounced<br><br>A couple of weeks ago, MarsipanRumpan - the guy who recently reported about Bluepoint&#39;s acquisition on ResetEra - said that he has heard that Sony is in talks with From Software regarding the making of a new PS5 exclusive directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki. This would be the third game From has currently in their pipeline, with Elden Ring and a new Armored Core being the other two.<br><br>MarsipanRumpan also clarified that it will be a while before we see this new game in motion anyway.<br><br>Guerrilla Games (Killzone, Horizon)<br><br>Unannounced<br><br>In February 2018, Simon Larouche - former multiplayer designer on Killzone 2, R6 Patriots and Splinter Cell: Blacklist, as well as game director on R6 Siege - joins Guerrilla as game director, starting to work on an unannounced project completely unrelated to the Horizon sequel (now known as Forbidden West), which was also in development at the time. Then in July, Hermen Hulst announced plans for Guerrilla to move into a new, bigger office where they could expand their staff count from 250 to 400 people, allowing them to make games faster and release a new title every two to three years.<br><br>In October 2018, Chris Lee - former multiplayer designer on several SOCOM titles at Slant Six Games and on Ubisoft&#39;s R6 Siege - joins Guerrilla as principal game designer on Larouche&#39;s project. Apart from the fact that Lee&#39;s hiring makes it pretty clear that Guerrilla&#39;s second team is working on a shooter game of some sorts, it&#39;s worth pointing out that Lee lists &quot;cooperative and competitive multiplayer, open world systemic gameplay and online social experiences&quot; as his current interests on his LinkedIn profile - with the open world bit being especially interesting as it was also mentioned in certain job listings for the project in 2019.<br><br>In August 2020, Guerrilla finally moved to their new office, which means the studio is now ready to begin large-scale recruiting on its second project once they see it fit - although I don&#39;t expect to hear about this project until after the release of Forbidden West in the second half of 2021.<br><br>Insomniac Games (Resistance, Ratchet &amp; Clank, Marvel&#39;s Spider-Man)<br><br>Marvel&#39;s Spider-Man 2<br><br>The recently released Marvel&#39;s Spider-Man Miles Morales entered development in May 2018 under the direction of Brian Horton, while Bryan Intihar was finishing up his work on the original Marvel&#39;s Spider-Man, which came out in September of that year. So right after wrapping up the first game and with Miles Morales in the hands of a separate team, Intihar started preparing the next main entry in the series as teased in January 2019 when he posted on Twitter &quot;Few things are more nerve-wracking than sharing your first story draft to others.&quot;<br><br>Japan Studio (Gravity Rush, The Last Guardian, Astro)<br><br>RaySpace<br><br>Sometime in spring 2014, a couple of weeks before E3, Reddit user Ruin4r leaked a number of titles in development exclusively for PS4, including a new God of War, The Last Guardian, a The Last Of Us sequel, Dead Don&#39;t Ride (later confirmed to be Days Gone&#39;s codename) and an &quot;unnamed space game&quot; - which by the way wasn&#39;t Santa Monica Studio&#39;s cancelled new IP for PS4, as that project was axed earlier that year.<br><br>A year later, Shuhei Yoshida stated in an interview at E3 2015 that &quot;Japan Studio is now producing a really great project that I&#39;m really excited about&quot; - which also wasn&#39;t Gravity Rush 2, as that title was referenced as a different project later in the interview.<br><br>In April 2016, Ruin4r said that all the games previously teased by him were still in development and clarified that many of them - God of War, TLOU2, Days Gone and the &quot;unnamed space game&quot; - were in early stages when he first talked about them.<br><br>Then on June 6th 2016, during a livestream in celebration of Famitsu&#39;s 30th Anniversary, SIE&#39;s Yasuhiro Kitao teased a a new title to Famitsu&#39;s editor-in-chief Katsuhio Hayashi by letting him read some text from his tablet, as Kitao didn&#39;t have any images to show. Hayashi was blown away by whatever thing he read and stated that &quot;this will definitely be worth waiting for.&quot;<br><br>In December 2017, SIE trademarked &quot;RaySpace&quot; in Canada - which most probably was the final title for the &quot;unnamed space game&quot; mentioned by Ruin4r. That same month, Japan Studio&#39;s award-winning creative director Tsutomu Kouno stated in an interview &quot;I have not been able to announce a new title in a long time, but in 2018, I would like to announce what I am preparing&quot;. Japan Studio producer Teruyuki Toriyama - who has been teasing this project since 2015, describing it in multiple occasions as an &quot;ambitious title&quot; - also promised an announcement in 2018.<br><br>Sometime in 2018, an interview to a Japan Studio employee was posted on the SIE website; in it there was an image that contained shots of two upcoming games in the background: the Demon&#39;s Souls remake (top right corner) and some sort of sci-fi first-person game.<br><br>But 2018 went by without any sort of reveal regarding this project and in December, Toriyama once again teased an announcement for the coming year &quot;In 2019, we are preparing for the debut of unannounced title(s) currently in production&quot;. It is worth noting that Japan Studio didn&#39;t reveal any new games in 2019.<br><br>I doubt that RaySpace was cancelled, as you don&#39;t pull the plug on a project that has been in the works for four or five years and was so close to being revealed. So what I believe is that they decided to move it to PlayStation 5 - just like they did with other projects such as Sackboy: A Big Adventure or Horizon: Forbidden West - and maybe even bring it back to the drawing table a little - which would explain why we haven&#39;t seen it this year during the PS5 reveal events.<br><br>Silent Hill<br><br>In 2018, Konami reached out to various developers to pitch ideas for two Silent Hill games: one a soft-reboot of the franchise; the other an episodic Telltale/Until Dawn-style game to go alongside the reboot. In fact, one of the studios contacted by Konami was Supermassive Games, creators of Until Dawn, although they ultimately didn&#39;t get the job.<br><br>Japan Studio&#39;s creative director Keiichiro Toyama, who had been wanting to work on a new horror game for quite some time, was developing a new entry in the Siren franchise at the time. Sony, who weren&#39;t fully keen on the idea of investing on a niche series such as Siren, decided to pull the plug on the project as they started negotiating a deal with Konami for getting Japan Studio to work on the Silent Hill soft-reboot - a prestige project for the PS5 lineup based on a globally renowned IP, something that would allow Toyama to have a bigger budget and more resources at his disposal.<br><br>Eventually the deal would get finalized, putting Sony Interactive Entertainment in charge of developing, funding and publishing the title in exchange for keeping the exclusive and most of the revenue, with Konami being indirectly involved by outsourcing the IP against an 8% of the revenue. And that way, the game entered development in early 2019, salvaging as much from the technological work done for the Siren game as possible.<br><br>At some point in 2019, an interview to a Japan Studio employee posted on the SIE website showed a developer working on a handgun model - something that, if we consider the other projects Japan Studio has in the pipeline, would only align with Silent Hill.<br><br>On January 21st 2020, Rely on Horror reported that they&#39;ve heard from a source of their own that a new Silent Hill game was in development. A day later, movie industry insider Emre Kaya posted on Twitter that he has learned that Sony is working on a new horror game for PS5.<br><br>On March 12th 2020, Rely on Horror stated that Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka and creature designer Masahiro Ito are returning alongside the series creator Keiichiro Toyama to helm a soft-reboot of the franchise developed by Japan Studio, just called Silent Hill. Both of their sources mentioned Sony as the driving force behind bringing the series back. That same day, Emre Kaya said on Twitter that this was the Sony horror game that he talked about back in January.<br><br>In April 2020, ResetEra user KatharsisT backed Rely on Horror&#39;s information regarding the Silent Hill soft-reboot and confirmed a third-person perspective and that the game was playable already. She also said that it is planned to be announced before PS5&#39;s launch, with a release in spring 2021 - although these reveal and release windows were from before COVID started to fudge up their schedule. Shortly after, a mod stepped into the discussion to state that they&#39;ve verified her information on the subject.<br><br>In May 2020, Reddit user snort_cannon, who had already discussed the game months ago, said that &quot;the game was planned on being shown off this summer. Unless something bad happens, it should happen. The plan at first was just to do a CG trailer to announce that the game exists, but I personally think at this point [they] might delay the reveal and add some gameplay footage as well&quot;. When asked about his sources, he answered &quot;Same source that told me about the Sony deal, albeit last update came in early February and COVID didn't rampage as hard as it's going now.&quot;<br><br>On August 3rd 2020, ResetEra user Navtra, who leaked a list of games that went on to be present on both PS5 events days in advance to June&#39;s The Future of Gaming, commented on the Silent Hill rumors &quot;I can only confirm one thing: it was never on the table for June&#39;s event.

If we look at both KatharsisT and snort_cannon&#39;s comments in regards to the reveal window for the game after having learned this, it becomes clear that the reveal was initially planned for the second PS5 event, that being September&#39;s PS5 Showcase - an event that the game missed because of delays in production related to the COVID pandemic.<br><br>On October 31st 2020, KatharsisT stated that something had just made her expect a reveal at The Game Awards.

In a separate post, Vergeben added &quot;I don&#39;t know much other than that it apparently is in development by Media Vision for PS4. I haven&#39;t been told anything specific yet at least.

According to the casting description, the studio was looking for a &quot;Black/African American male, 40s to 60s, short to medium length hair, with a body type similar to those in the images below, strong but not chiseled&quot;. But since this doesn&#39;t tell us much about the game, apart from hinting at it being a new IP, let&#39;s go a little back in time in search of more potential details.<br><br>During the The Last Of Us: Part II panel at PSX 2017, Neil Druckmann stated that Naughty Dog will &quot;forever continue to make singleplayer, linear, narrative-based games&quot;. He also mentioned during an interview from February 2018 that the studio was totally open to make a first-person game in the future - and, since they seem to be making a new IP, this new project might be the perfect time for them to try a different camera angle in their games.<br><br>New San Diego Studio<br><br>Unannounced<br><br>In April 2018, David Hall - former Double Helix/Amazon Game Studios - joins an unnamed SIE studio in San Diego as game director on an unannounced title. Since then, rumors about a new Sony first-party studio have been circulating due to a job listing - also from April - in which it was stated that &quot;PlayStation is building a new game development team in partnership with the Visual Arts Service Group&quot; to work on a &quot;high visibility project&quot; described as a third-person action/adventure game &quot;developed in collaboration with a major Sony studio.&quot;<br><br>A month later, Quentin Cobb - former singleplayer/multiplayer designer at Naughty Dog on the Uncharted series and The Last Of Us - also joins this new studio in San Diego and in December a new job listing mentions that the team was looking for a lead character artist to work on &quot;the next chapter of cinematic storytelling.&quot;<br><br>In January 2019, James Martinchek - former cutscene/gameplay animator on The Last Of Us, Uncharted 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 - joins the studio as a lead gameplay animator. Also in January, Cobb was asked on Twitter why he couldn&#39;t even reveal what studio he was working for, to what he replied that &quot;it is difficult to explain why&quot; - further reinforcing the theory that Sony has assembled a secret studio in the San Diego area.<br><br>Then in November 2019, Sony announced their plans to set up a support studio in Malaysia and, just a couple of weeks ago, a job listing from SIE Malaysia unveils that they&#39;re currently working on &quot;one of PlayStation&#39;s [most] well-known and well-loved franchises&quot; for which they are looking for &quot;talented, highly-motivated and creative animators to breathe life into the next chapter of cinematic storytelling.&quot;<br><br>In November 2020, both Quentin Cobb and John Bautista left the studio and the internet started to speculate that Sony had shut down the studio and cancelled the project, something that Bautista denied by stating that &quot;the studio is still there and the project is still ongoing.&quot;<br><br>Santa Monica Studio (God of War)<br><br>Unannounced<br><br>On April 12th 2018, Cory Barlog spoke during an interview about his desire to work on a new IP &quot;I really would love to create something of my own next. Something that really, really is truly 100% coming from my original vision. That would be awesome, but we have to see if I can convince Sony on that one&quot;. Over half a year later, in November, film director Duncan Jones - who had just met with Cory looking for his opinion regarding a certain script - said on Twitter that &quot;If you think that God of War is [Cory's] magnum opus, just you wait!&quot;<br><br>Since then, little we&#39;ve learned about the development of this project, other than the recent news that Alanah Pearce has joined Santa Monica Studio as a junior writer on, apparently, Cory&#39;s game. And I say that mainly because, while members of the team behind the next God of War were able to publicly announce their involvement in the making of said title on social media, Alanah is not allowed to reveal what she is working on over at SMS - that being due to the fact that, unlike the upcoming GOW game, Cory Barlog&#39;s new project hasn&#39;t been revealed yet.<br><br>Sucker Punch Productions (inFAMOUS, Ghost of Tsushima)<br><br>¿Ghost 2?<br><br>Look, I haven&#39;t played Ghost of Tsushima yet, so I don&#39;t know how it ends or if it sets up a sequel or not - but a few weeks ago a job listing from Sucker Punch mentioned that the studio &quot;is looking for a narrative writer for our upcoming projects&quot; and that the ideal candidate would &quot;have previous success as a game writer, outstanding dialogue skills and an excellent understanding of how to tell impactful, character-driven stories within a AAA open-world game&quot; and also &quot;knowledge of feudal Japanese history&quot;. That last bit kind of screams some sort of GOT sequel to me.<br><br>Supermassive Games (Until Dawn, Hidden Agenda, The Inpatient)<br><br>Unannounced Titles<br><br>In November 2018, Supermassive Games managing director Pete Samuels confirmed that the studio was &quot;working on several unannounced PlayStation exclusives&quot; and stated that their relationship with Sony &quot;is still excellent&quot;, even though they choose another publisher for The Dark Pictures Anthology as they wanted to reach the widest possible audience.<br><br>What that might mean is that they wanna go the multiplatform route with their biggest titles - that being The Dark Pictures Anthology, their response to the requests of an Until Dawn sequel - while keeping the most experimental and smaller stuff exclusive to Google or Sony - meaning that these unannounced titles would probably be cross-gen PSVR games, as Jim Ryan stated that they will not be releasing VR titles exclusively for PS5 until the new headset comes out in a couple of years.<br><br>Wild Sheep Studio<br><br>WiLD<br><br>During Sony&#39;s GamesCom conference in 2014, Michel Ancel took the stage to introduce WiLD, a new PS4 exclusive developed by his recently formed indie studio. It was described as a title with an open-world &quot;potentially as big as Europe&quot;, day and night cycles, dynamic weather and seasons, as well as a seamless online system, in which you could play not only as a human but also as any living creature. Ancel also stated that for the past year, the studio had been working very hard on the proprietary technology and tools they would be using in order to create this very specific type of game that was WiLD.<br><br>A year later, this time at Sony&#39;s Paris Games Week conference, Ancel showed a super early gameplay demo of WiLD. This was the last time we saw WiLD in action, as the information drops regarding this title started to slow down over the years - with most updates consisting of Sony denying cancellation rumors, trademark renewals or off-screen pictures of the game posted on Michel Ancel&#39;s Instagram.<br><br>The most notable piece of news from this period however, was an interview with WiLD producer Mitsuo Hirakawa from November 2017. During said interview, he stated &quot;We are not going to rush [Michel Ancel] to make something that he doesn&#39;t want to compromise on.&quot; and then he followed &quot;Even experienced developers make mistakes. We have to make mistakes to find the right choices for the design of the game and we want to provide [Wild Sheep Studio] with all the support necessary, so that&#39;s why things sometimes do take a lot longer than we expect but we feel that WiLD deserves the extra time and quality before it comes to public.&quot;<br><br>A creative that doesn&#39;t want to compromise on his vision? Mistakes that lead into things taking longer than expected? Call me crazy, but I think those statements are pointing directly to some heavy project mismanagement on Ancel&#39;s part, as we&#39;ve seen reports of similar things happening during the development of Beyond: Good &amp; Evil 2.<br><br>According to snort_cannon &quot;[BG&amp;E2] has been a mess behind the scenes for a pretty long time. To give you a rough idea of how bad it&#39;s going, the game was supposedly gonna come out next year [in 2021], but it&#39;s not even 50% done. I wouldn&#39;t be shocked, if we get an investigation article on its development troubles, soon&quot;. Which did in fact happened, as, a couple of months ago, national newspaper Libération published an article on BG&amp;E2&#39;s troubled development &quot;Ganesha City, which [he] asked us to do with a completely stupid level of detail, we only just finished it three years later, and we&#39;ve had to redo it four or five times. Knowing that we have to do several planets, you can imagine the absurdity of this kind of reasoning.&quot; &quot;When [Ancel] was spoking to the press, we were taking notes because [...] it could concern points on which we would have been stuck on for months, waiting for directions.&quot;<br><br>Moving onto something else, in July 2018, both Michel Ancel and Wild Sheep&#39;s CEO and art director Celine Tellier visited Guerrilla Games. This is interesting, because considering that WiLD went through some serious development hell difficulties, it is not farfetched to think that one of the solutions proposed by Sony to one of the several the problems the game was facing at the time was to drop the in-house engine that Wild Sheep was using up to that point and move the game over to DECIMA - the Guerrilla Games engine that has powered PS4 titles such as Killzone: Shadow Fall and Horizon: Zero Dawn but also Until Dawn and Death Stranding. Such a change could come in handy, especially when we take into account that, just like Horizon and Death Stranding, WiLD is an open-world title that takes place in natural environments.<br><br>On September 18th 2020, Michel Ancel announced his departure from the games industry and regarding Beyond: Good &amp; Evil 2 and WiLD he stated that &quot;since many months now the teams are autonomous and the projects are going super well. Beautiful things to be seen soon&quot;. Hopefully we get to see something next year.

Someone on Reddit put together a list or 18 rumored/upcoming games, with evidence/"insider" comments.

An in-depth look at 18* unannounced PlayStation 5 exclusives | Including a new FROM SOFTWARE collab : PS5 (https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/k58vxg/an_indepth_look_at_18_unannounced_playstation_5/)


 
Spoiler for Hidden:

An in-depth look at 18* unannounced PlayStation 5 exclusives | Including a new FROM SOFTWARE collab
Speculation
Arrowhead Game Studios (Magicka, Gauntlet, Helldivers)

Testament

In 2016, Arrowhead started to work on their first ever AAA game - a project that would require not only the attention of the entire team, but also to grow the studio way beyond the 35 employees that worked on Arrowhead around that time. That's why in 2017 they moved into a bigger office where they could accommodate all of their staff - both old and new.

Then in 2018, Arrowhead's co-founder stated in an interview that they were making a third-person game this time around and, due to the change in perspective, moving the focus from local co-op to making it purely online co-op. Friendly fire is confirmed to be making a return.

In early 2019, some Arrowhead developers were spotted at GDC wearing jackets with a "Testament Dev Team" written in the back. While recapping 2019, it was stated on the Arrowhead website that they had made a "butt-ton of progress" on the game and that by the end of the year the studio had already grown to roughly 60 people.

Bend Studio (Siphon Filter, Days Gone)

Days Gone

Days Gone ends on a cliffhanger, but so did The Order 1886 and, well, we all know how that ended up - so let's delve a bit deeper into why Days Gone 2 will be a thing.

In 2019, a couple of weeks before the game's launch, a Sony PR guy said that Days Gone was seen as a "franchise" in Sony's eyes, stating that "the goal is always to make a game that people love and want more of". One month later, the game came out and delivered some surprisingly solid numbers not only at launch but also throughout the year, thanks to the good word-of-mouth it had amongst the community.

According to snort_cannon, the success of the game came as a surprise even to Sony, who was expecting Days Gone to be the disappointment and Death Stranding being the one doing crazy numbers.

Later that year, Bend Studio managing director Chris Reese kind of teased that a sequel was in the works when asked about it during an interview: "This is a world that we want to keep breathing more life into, and explore many, many different avenues. So who knows, we'll see!"

Bluepoint Games (Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted, Shadow of the Colossus, Demon's Souls)

Bloodborne Remastered

In May 2020, NeoGAF user Celine.D.Sykes - who previously discussed this project in February 2019 on the ResetEra forums - talked about the Bloodborne remaster in greater detail: "During my time on ResetEra, I only knew that From Software wanted Bloodborne to release on PC. Unfortunately, a PC port would need a lot of work […] and reworking Bloodborne's engine would take a great amount of work. The game logic is tied to framerate, among many other baffling decisions. The last time From Software tried to change the inner logic of an engine; it resulted in the infamous PC port of the first Dark Souls."

"Making a long story short, Sony said they were interested in a potential Bloodborne remaster for PS5, with a lot more work done, like some QoL added and some cut-content being introduced. Both From Software and Sony agreed to not just up the resolution and the framerate, but to make something great. FromSoftware has been authorized to release the game on PC, but only some months after the remaster hits PS5."

"Last time I heard about it, Bloodborne remaster would be part of PS5 line-up, but I don't quite believe it since I think the spotlight will be stolen by another similar title [Demon's Souls] that should be announced in June. I think they might save the Bloodborne remaster for some months after PS5 release, but I could be wrong about that particular point."

According to another report by a different source, the game is being developed by both QLOC - the studio behind 2018's Dark Souls: Remastered - and Bluepoint Games. Now that Demon's Souls is out and considering how far along Bloodborne Remastered has been reported to be, I wouldn't be surprised if it is currently planned to be revealed at The Game Awards.

Unannounced

On November 20th 2020, in response to a user who claimed that the rumored Bluepoint acquisition by Sony would be very boring as far as hype goes, KatharsisT said: "If you knew what Bluepoint is on at the moment, you wouldn't say that (Yeah, it's a hype post [and] you'll have to wait to know what it is)". Shortly after that, a mod stepped in to say that "KatharsisT has shown sufficient evidence to support this claim."

A couple of posts later, MarsipanRumpan - the guy behind the Bluepoint acquisition rumor - also backed the statements made by KatharsisT "I'm totally on your side. Talked with my source, I think we have the same info regarding their next remake. People who aren't hyped for Bluepoint don't know what their next project is as you said. Because that shame is [mindblowing]."

Regarding the rumors of a Metal Gear Solid remake, all I'm gonna say is: don't listen to what Moore's Law is Dead and other youtubers are saying, it is all battleship; but at the same time don't lose faith, as chances of Bluepoint's next remake being MGS are high, considering how it seems they're working on a bigger and more prestigious title than Demon's Souls and also the good relationship Sony currently has with Konami.

From Software (Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Deráciné)

Unannounced

A couple of weeks ago, MarsipanRumpan - the guy who recently reported about Bluepoint's acquisition on ResetEra - said that he has heard that Sony is in talks with From Software regarding the making of a new PS5 exclusive directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki. This would be the third game From has currently in their pipeline, with Elden Ring and a new Armored Core being the other two.

MarsipanRumpan also clarified that it will be a while before we see this new game in motion anyway.

Guerrilla Games (Killzone, Horizon)

Unannounced

In February 2018, Simon Larouche - former multiplayer designer on Killzone 2, R6 Patriots and Splinter Cell: Blacklist, as well as game director on R6 Siege - joins Guerrilla as game director, starting to work on an unannounced project completely unrelated to the Horizon sequel (now known as Forbidden West), which was also in development at the time. Then in July, Hermen Hulst announced plans for Guerrilla to move into a new, bigger office where they could expand their staff count from 250 to 400 people, allowing them to make games faster and release a new title every two to three years.

In October 2018, Chris Lee - former multiplayer designer on several SOCOM titles at Slant Six Games and on Ubisoft's R6 Siege - joins Guerrilla as principal game designer on Larouche's project. Apart from the fact that Lee's hiring makes it pretty clear that Guerrilla's second team is working on a shooter game of some sorts, it's worth pointing out that Lee lists "cooperative and competitive multiplayer, open world systemic gameplay and online social experiences" as his current interests on his LinkedIn profile - with the open world bit being especially interesting as it was also mentioned in certain job listings for the project in 2019.

In August 2020, Guerrilla finally moved to their new office, which means the studio is now ready to begin large-scale recruiting on its second project once they see it fit - although I don't expect to hear about this project until after the release of Forbidden West in the second half of 2021.

Insomniac Games (Resistance, Ratchet & Clank, Marvel's Spider-Man)

Marvel's Spider-Man 2

The recently released Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales entered development in May 2018 under the direction of Brian Horton, while Bryan Intihar was finishing up his work on the original Marvel's Spider-Man, which came out in September of that year. So right after wrapping up the first game and with Miles Morales in the hands of a separate team, Intihar started preparing the next main entry in the series as teased in January 2019 when he posted on Twitter "Few things are more nerve-wracking than sharing your first story draft to others."

Japan Studio (Gravity Rush, The Last Guardian, Astro)

RaySpace

Sometime in spring 2014, a couple of weeks before E3, Reddit user Ruin4r leaked a number of titles in development exclusively for PS4, including a new God of War, The Last Guardian, a The Last Of Us sequel, Dead Don't Ride (later confirmed to be Days Gone's codename) and an "unnamed space game" - which by the way wasn't Santa Monica Studio's cancelled new IP for PS4, as that project was axed earlier that year.

A year later, Shuhei Yoshida stated in an interview at E3 2015 that "Japan Studio is now producing a really great project that I'm really excited about" - which also wasn't Gravity Rush 2, as that title was referenced as a different project later in the interview.

In April 2016, Ruin4r said that all the games previously teased by him were still in development and clarified that many of them - God of War, TLOU2, Days Gone and the "unnamed space game" - were in early stages when he first talked about them.

Then on June 6th 2016, during a livestream in celebration of Famitsu's 30th Anniversary, SIE's Yasuhiro Kitao teased a a new title to Famitsu's editor-in-chief Katsuhio Hayashi by letting him read some text from his tablet, as Kitao didn't have any images to show. Hayashi was blown away by whatever thing he read and stated that "this will definitely be worth waiting for."

In December 2017, SIE trademarked "RaySpace" in Canada - which most probably was the final title for the "unnamed space game" mentioned by Ruin4r. That same month, Japan Studio's award-winning creative director Tsutomu Kouno stated in an interview "I have not been able to announce a new title in a long time, but in 2018, I would like to announce what I am preparing". Japan Studio producer Teruyuki Toriyama - who has been teasing this project since 2015, describing it in multiple occasions as an "ambitious title" - also promised an announcement in 2018.

Sometime in 2018, an interview to a Japan Studio employee was posted on the SIE website; in it there was an image that contained shots of two upcoming games in the background: the Demon's Souls remake (top right corner) and some sort of sci-fi first-person game.

But 2018 went by without any sort of reveal regarding this project and in December, Toriyama once again teased an announcement for the coming year "In 2019, we are preparing for the debut of unannounced title(s) currently in production". It is worth noting that Japan Studio didn't reveal any new games in 2019.

I doubt that RaySpace was cancelled, as you don't pull the plug on a project that has been in the works for four or five years and was so close to being revealed. So what I believe is that they decided to move it to PlayStation 5 - just like they did with other projects such as Sackboy: A Big Adventure or Horizon: Forbidden West - and maybe even bring it back to the drawing table a little - which would explain why we haven't seen it this year during the PS5 reveal events.

Silent Hill

In 2018, Konami reached out to various developers to pitch ideas for two Silent Hill games: one a soft-reboot of the franchise; the other an episodic Telltale/Until Dawn-style game to go alongside the reboot. In fact, one of the studios contacted by Konami was Supermassive Games, creators of Until Dawn, although they ultimately didn't get the job.

Japan Studio's creative director Keiichiro Toyama, who had been wanting to work on a new horror game for quite some time, was developing a new entry in the Siren franchise at the time. Sony, who weren't fully keen on the idea of investing on a niche series such as Siren, decided to pull the plug on the project as they started negotiating a deal with Konami for getting Japan Studio to work on the Silent Hill soft-reboot - a prestige project for the PS5 lineup based on a globally renowned IP, something that would allow Toyama to have a bigger budget and more resources at his disposal.

Eventually the deal would get finalized, putting Sony Interactive Entertainment in charge of developing, funding and publishing the title in exchange for keeping the exclusive and most of the revenue, with Konami being indirectly involved by outsourcing the IP against an 8% of the revenue. And that way, the game entered development in early 2019, salvaging as much from the technological work done for the Siren game as possible.

At some point in 2019, an interview to a Japan Studio employee posted on the SIE website showed a developer working on a handgun model - something that, if we consider the other projects Japan Studio has in the pipeline, would only align with Silent Hill.

On January 21st 2020, Rely on Horror reported that they've heard from a source of their own that a new Silent Hill game was in development. A day later, movie industry insider Emre Kaya posted on Twitter that he has learned that Sony is working on a new horror game for PS5.

On March 12th 2020, Rely on Horror stated that Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka and creature designer Masahiro Ito are returning alongside the series creator Keiichiro Toyama to helm a soft-reboot of the franchise developed by Japan Studio, just called Silent Hill. Both of their sources mentioned Sony as the driving force behind bringing the series back. That same day, Emre Kaya said on Twitter that this was the Sony horror game that he talked about back in January.

In April 2020, ResetEra user KatharsisT backed Rely on Horror's information regarding the Silent Hill soft-reboot and confirmed a third-person perspective and that the game was playable already. She also said that it is planned to be announced before PS5's launch, with a release in spring 2021 - although these reveal and release windows were from before COVID started to fudge up their schedule. Shortly after, a mod stepped into the discussion to state that they've verified her information on the subject.

In May 2020, Reddit user snort_cannon, who had already discussed the game months ago, said that "the game was planned on being shown off this summer. Unless something bad happens, it should happen. The plan at first was just to do a CG trailer to announce that the game exists, but I personally think at this point [they] might delay the reveal and add some gameplay footage as well". When asked about his sources, he answered "Same source that told me about the Sony deal, albeit last update came in early February and COVID didn't rampage as hard as it's going now."

On August 3rd 2020, ResetEra user Navtra, who leaked a list of games that went on to be present on both PS5 events days in advance to June's The Future of Gaming, commented on the Silent Hill rumors "I can only confirm one thing: it was never on the table for June's event. FFXVI and Marvel's Avengers Spider-Man character announcement were among other things that were supposed to be there and were moved last minute. Silent Hill never was". If we look at both KatharsisT and snort_cannon's comments in regards to the reveal window for the game after having learned this, it becomes clear that the reveal was initially planned for the second PS5 event, that being September's PS5 Showcase - an event that the game missed because of delays in production related to the COVID pandemic.

On October 31st 2020, KatharsisT stated that something had just made her expect a reveal at The Game Awards. A couple of days later, Rely on Horror reported that recent rumors of a Silent Hill announcement at The Game Awards line up with some information they received a while back but choose not to report on.

On November 21st 2020, KatharsisT once again teased a Silent Hill reveal at The Game Awards "You'll celebrate it before the end of the year if everything goes as planned" while also stating that she thinks the game is still planned for 2021.

London Studio (The Getaway, PlayStation VR Worlds, Blood & Truth)

Horizon VR

On October 2019, VR consultant Callum Hurley posted on Twitter that he had learned about an "exciting new PlayStation VR game coming out of London Studio" through someone who had just playtested the title. He also vaguely implied it was a Horizon VR game and, when news outlets started to report on his tweets, he apologized to the development team as he didn't expect such coverage.

Same as the unannounced VR titles from Supermassive Games, I do expect this Horizon VR game to be a cross-gen release sometime next year.

MediaVision (Wild Arms, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, Valkyria Chronicles 4)

Wild Arms

In July 2018, we've learned thanks to a job listing that MediaVision was working on a new PlayStation 4 RPG. It is worth noting that a year earlier Sony stated that, even though their investments have been mainly focused on titles aimed to a global audience do to the soaring in development costs, the success of recent titles such as Persona 5 or Nier Automata amongst overseas audiences has made them consider a return to first-party JRPG development.

Then in June 2019, DasVergeben posted on Reddit "Something I have heard for a while now is that a new Wild Arms game is in development but it has been over a year long journey getting that verified. I still struggle to get definite enough confirmation but I think it might have been because I heard about it too early". In a separate post, Vergeben added "I don't know much other than that it apparently is in development by Media Vision for PS4. I haven't been told anything specific yet at least. I do wonder if Sony might try and shift over to push it as a PS5 launch game or something if they don't reveal it this year [...] but that's simply speculation on my behalf."

At this point I expect the game to be a cross-gen release, as it wouldn't make sense to leave the PS4 users behind with a title that surely won't be a technological showcase unlike native PS5 games such as Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

Naughty Dog (Uncharted, The Last Of Us)

The Last Of Us: Factions

On September 26th 2019, Naughty Dog posted a statement on Twitter in which they basically announced that the multiplayer mode they had planned for The Last Of Us: Part II had grown beyond an additional mode that could be included alongside the game's enormous singleplayer campaign, so they decided to turn it into a standalone game in order to not compromise on the ambitions of the studio's multiplayer team.

Then in April 2020, a short gameplay clip from a March 2018 build of the multiplayer leaked online as part of a bigger leak that revealed tons of story spoilers and cutscenes from The Last Of Us: Part II. Assuming that this TLOU multiplayer game is planned for a release on both PS4 and PS5 sometime next year, we would be in front of a title with over four years of overall dev time - meaning that the project might be greater in scope than what most of us are expecting it to be.

Unannounced

On October 10th 2018, movie industry insider Daniel Ritchman reported that Naughty Dog was in the process of casting an actor to play the lead role on an upcoming game. According to the casting description, the studio was looking for a "Black/African American male, 40s to 60s, short to medium length hair, with a body type similar to those in the images below, strong but not chiseled". But since this doesn't tell us much about the game, apart from hinting at it being a new IP, let's go a little back in time in search of more potential details.

During the The Last Of Us: Part II panel at PSX 2017, Neil Druckmann stated that Naughty Dog will "forever continue to make singleplayer, linear, narrative-based games". He also mentioned during an interview from February 2018 that the studio was totally open to make a first-person game in the future - and, since they seem to be making a new IP, this new project might be the perfect time for them to try a different camera angle in their games.

New San Diego Studio

Unannounced

In April 2018, David Hall - former Double Helix/Amazon Game Studios - joins an unnamed SIE studio in San Diego as game director on an unannounced title. Since then, rumors about a new Sony first-party studio have been circulating due to a job listing - also from April - in which it was stated that "PlayStation is building a new game development team in partnership with the Visual Arts Service Group" to work on a "high visibility project" described as a third-person action/adventure game "developed in collaboration with a major Sony studio."

A month later, Quentin Cobb - former singleplayer/multiplayer designer at Naughty Dog on the Uncharted series and The Last Of Us - also joins this new studio in San Diego and in December a new job listing mentions that the team was looking for a lead character artist to work on "the next chapter of cinematic storytelling."

In January 2019, James Martinchek - former cutscene/gameplay animator on The Last Of Us, Uncharted 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 - joins the studio as a lead gameplay animator. Also in January, Cobb was asked on Twitter why he couldn't even reveal what studio he was working for, to what he replied that "it is difficult to explain why" - further reinforcing the theory that Sony has assembled a secret studio in the San Diego area.

Then in November 2019, Sony announced their plans to set up a support studio in Malaysia and, just a couple of weeks ago, a job listing from SIE Malaysia unveils that they're currently working on "one of PlayStation's [most] well-known and well-loved franchises" for which they are looking for "talented, highly-motivated and creative animators to breathe life into the next chapter of cinematic storytelling."

In November 2020, both Quentin Cobb and John Bautista left the studio and the internet started to speculate that Sony had shut down the studio and cancelled the project, something that Bautista denied by stating that "the studio is still there and the project is still ongoing."

Santa Monica Studio (God of War)

Unannounced

On April 12th 2018, Cory Barlog spoke during an interview about his desire to work on a new IP "I really would love to create something of my own next. Something that really, really is truly 100% coming from my original vision. That would be awesome, but we have to see if I can convince Sony on that one". Over half a year later, in November, film director Duncan Jones - who had just met with Cory looking for his opinion regarding a certain script - said on Twitter that "If you think that God of War is [Cory's] magnum opus, just you wait!"

Since then, little we've learned about the development of this project, other than the recent news that Alanah Pearce has joined Santa Monica Studio as a junior writer on, apparently, Cory's game. And I say that mainly because, while members of the team behind the next God of War were able to publicly announce their involvement in the making of said title on social media, Alanah is not allowed to reveal what she is working on over at SMS - that being due to the fact that, unlike the upcoming GOW game, Cory Barlog's new project hasn't been revealed yet.

Sucker Punch Productions (inFAMOUS, Ghost of Tsushima)

¿Ghost 2?

Look, I haven't played Ghost of Tsushima yet, so I don't know how it ends or if it sets up a sequel or not - but a few weeks ago a job listing from Sucker Punch mentioned that the studio "is looking for a narrative writer for our upcoming projects" and that the ideal candidate would "have previous success as a game writer, outstanding dialogue skills and an excellent understanding of how to tell impactful, character-driven stories within a AAA open-world game" and also "knowledge of feudal Japanese history". That last bit kind of screams some sort of GOT sequel to me.

Supermassive Games (Until Dawn, Hidden Agenda, The Inpatient)

Unannounced Titles

In November 2018, Supermassive Games managing director Pete Samuels confirmed that the studio was "working on several unannounced PlayStation exclusives" and stated that their relationship with Sony "is still excellent", even though they choose another publisher for The Dark Pictures Anthology as they wanted to reach the widest possible audience.

What that might mean is that they wanna go the multiplatform route with their biggest titles - that being The Dark Pictures Anthology, their response to the requests of an Until Dawn sequel - while keeping the most experimental and smaller stuff exclusive to Google or Sony - meaning that these unannounced titles would probably be cross-gen PSVR games, as Jim Ryan stated that they will not be releasing VR titles exclusively for PS5 until the new headset comes out in a couple of years.

Wild Sheep Studio

WiLD

During Sony's GamesCom conference in 2014, Michel Ancel took the stage to introduce WiLD, a new PS4 exclusive developed by his recently formed indie studio. It was described as a title with an open-world "potentially as big as Europe", day and night cycles, dynamic weather and seasons, as well as a seamless online system, in which you could play not only as a human but also as any living creature. Ancel also stated that for the past year, the studio had been working very hard on the proprietary technology and tools they would be using in order to create this very specific type of game that was WiLD.

A year later, this time at Sony's Paris Games Week conference, Ancel showed a super early gameplay demo of WiLD. This was the last time we saw WiLD in action, as the information drops regarding this title started to slow down over the years - with most updates consisting of Sony denying cancellation rumors, trademark renewals or off-screen pictures of the game posted on Michel Ancel's Instagram.

The most notable piece of news from this period however, was an interview with WiLD producer Mitsuo Hirakawa from November 2017. During said interview, he stated "We are not going to rush [Michel Ancel] to make something that he doesn't want to compromise on." and then he followed "Even experienced developers make mistakes. We have to make mistakes to find the right choices for the design of the game and we want to provide [Wild Sheep Studio] with all the support necessary, so that's why things sometimes do take a lot longer than we expect but we feel that WiLD deserves the extra time and quality before it comes to public."

A creative that doesn't want to compromise on his vision? Mistakes that lead into things taking longer than expected? Call me crazy, but I think those statements are pointing directly to some heavy project mismanagement on Ancel's part, as we've seen reports of similar things happening during the development of Beyond: Good & Evil 2.

According to snort_cannon "[BG&E2] has been a mess behind the scenes for a pretty long time. To give you a rough idea of how bad it's going, the game was supposedly gonna come out next year [in 2021], but it's not even 50% done. I wouldn't be shocked, if we get an investigation article on its development troubles, soon". Which did in fact happened, as, a couple of months ago, national newspaper Libération published an article on BG&E2's troubled development "Ganesha City, which [he] asked us to do with a completely stupid level of detail, we only just finished it three years later, and we've had to redo it four or five times. Knowing that we have to do several planets, you can imagine the absurdity of this kind of reasoning." "When [Ancel] was spoking to the press, we were taking notes because [...] it could concern points on which we would have been stuck on for months, waiting for directions."

Moving onto something else, in July 2018, both Michel Ancel and Wild Sheep's CEO and art director Celine Tellier visited Guerrilla Games. This is interesting, because considering that WiLD went through some serious development hell difficulties, it is not farfetched to think that one of the solutions proposed by Sony to one of the several the problems the game was facing at the time was to drop the in-house engine that Wild Sheep was using up to that point and move the game over to DECIMA - the Guerrilla Games engine that has powered PS4 titles such as Killzone: Shadow Fall and Horizon: Zero Dawn but also Until Dawn and Death Stranding. Such a change could come in handy, especially when we take into account that, just like Horizon and Death Stranding, WiLD is an open-world title that takes place in natural environments.

On September 18th 2020, Michel Ancel announced his departure from the games industry and regarding Beyond: Good & Evil 2 and WiLD he stated that "since many months now the teams are autonomous and the projects are going super well. Beautiful things to be seen soon". Hopefully we get to see something next year.

Can't believe there are still people who believe in this delusional Rayspace battleship.

Era insider insists it's still happening and it is less than a year away from release.  We shall see though.

Directors and other people frequently leave in the middle of projects. Cory left God of War 3 in the middle.  SMS clearly continued making it. 

They also left a few months ago to start a new studio.  Apparently because they don't want to make these large AAA games, and prefer making more experimental titles.  Its pretty obvious this is the direction that Sony Japan is going.

Probably

Though wasn't Stig always in charge of God of War 3? I mean, Jaffe was still working on God of War 3 before he left, but he wasn't directing, nor did he direct 2 (Despite being there).

I'm more sad at how Kat was done dirty and we'll never get another Gravity Rush.

I thought this was funny because the first thing that tipped me off was the name of the person who leaked.

Demonite isn't even at Sony anymore and he wouldn't leak like this.

Bloodborne: Hunters edition has been leaked by Demonite, the same insider who leaked bloodborne pre-release when it was still "project beast" : GamingLeaksAndRumours (https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/oi3uib/bloodborne_hunters_edition_has_been_leaked_by/)

Doubt.

I liked Infamous but ghost of tsushima has been a million times more successful. Why would they revive it?

Killzone is slightly different imo because it is an underserved genre from PlayStation, but even then they could probably make a new ip that'd do better.

Thought it was interesting because:

> This also puts out when it would be true or not.  So easier to tell if they know or not.

Just want to point out the previous show wasn't a "State of Play".  State of Plays are for updates and for small announcements.  
Sony calls their big shows PlayStation Showcases.  

I don't know which context you are talking about Jaffe, but it sounded like he wasn't talking about the show itself. Just that we would be surprised when/if we hear about it.

Aside from that, Wolverine is a likely guess.

Tom Henderson/Insider Gaming

Last year they posted a new PS5 model was coming around September 2023 (https://insider-gaming.com/new-playstation-5/). That date sure seems to be accurate, but their whole post is about the new system having a detachable disc drive that is connected to the back of the system through USB C.

Now they're claiming that their report has been confirmed (https://insider-gaming.com/playsation-5-slim-footage-leaks-online/) despite the new SKU not lining up with their details. "Back then, we also reported that the PlayStation 5 revisiion will not be a PS5 Slim" they proudly claim, yet their first report said "the new detachable disc drive could entail that the new iteration of the PlayStation 5 will be slimmer and lighter." They would have declared themselves winners regardless of what eventually happened.

They're also switching their story to say that the PS5 pops in half and the disc drive attaches directly to it, yet obviously that is not what they first reported. So many people have talked about detachable PS5 disc drives so just getting that main concept potentially right isn't worth much.

Post by: the-pi-guy on Aug 12, 2023, 07:48 PM
I guess we have different interpretations of what the reporting was.  :o

Like the part where the drive plugs in, in the back. Where is the back? Most people seem to have assumed it was talking about the external back. But I thought it made more sense for it to be talking about an internal back. Remove the face plate and it plugs into the back. Since that would match better with the idea of the drive not looking internal.


I don't get the impression that he actually saw the device, but that it got described to him.
