Another studio who I think should be pushed to do more are SCEA San Diego. Constantly making games for one market with MLB limits their potential to get strong sales with their games.

Actually, they are expanding. Sony has more or less put them in charge of making smaller, free-to-play experiences and working with small 3rd party teams. Guns Up! was a collaboration between them and Valkyrie Entertainment. They're also working with The Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency (leave it up to David Jaffe to come up with such an obnoxious name) to make Drawn to Death. Then they're internally developing Kill Strain. Which is nice because the last game they developed outside of MLB was Mod Nation Racers: Road Trip for the Vita about 4 years ago. Now, if we're talking about bigger games, then yeah. I'd like to see a little something more out of them. Even if it is just more sports titles. I can understand why the dropped NBA games. Too much competition out there between EA and 2K Games. Hockey, however, has mostly been left to EA now since 2K Games discontinued making them. Perfect opportunity for Sony to jump on that.

Funny how PS try to make it sound games are exclusive to them when in fact the titles are multi-plats

This is how desperate Xbox fanboys have become. Trying to shame Sony for announcing the release of a game on their platforms through their websites. All because they didn't mention the competing platforms. Yet, jog over to the Xbox Youtube channel and pretty much every video for a multiplat game makes no mention of competing platforms.

EDIT: Meant to say Xbox Youtube.

Jebus, now that's grasping at straws if I've ever seen it. How can you even pretend like companies official twitter channels have to or at any point ever mention the release or announcement of any game on a platform that isn't theirs? Trying to claim that this is somehow something that is exclusive to PS is as dumb as it gets.

Who cares about that fanboy battleship?  I'm glad there's another Carmageddon.  Makes me want to go play Twisted Metal now.

[Dr. Pezus]

In deus Ex I'm at the bit where you return to the city and there are riots.  Is there much left in the game?

It's been too long for me to remember that unfortunately lol

Lately I let it go but this was one of those fanboy moments that was just way too ignorant to overlook.

Yeah, I'm actually glad you posted it.  I didn't know they were making another Carmageddon.  I didn't play it much, but there's not exactly much car destruction games like that anymore.

Yeah and that is really cool but I just think surely the team must get bored creating MLB every single year. They should be given a chance to show their creativity and flex their talent. I mean Guerilla had a stigma attached with them, unfairly I might add as the Killzone studio and the reputation of the Halo killer. Despite Sony's best efforts it did not resonate with more than 2 or 3 million people and that was even with Killzone 2 being a fantastic game and one of the best reviewed games of 2009. But now people have seen Horizon we are starting to see what they really are capable of and that they could be a top studio who were stuck on a stagnant I.P. Horizon could be a game that resonates with more than 3 million people and a huge franchise for Sony. I don't see why SCE San Diego cannot do that, especially as they made the well reviewed Mark of Kri in the PS2 era, so clearly it's in their DNA to create good I.P. It's why the inevitable Bend and Santa Monica announcements are so exciting. Bend really have to create a new I.P as they have nothing big to go back to and Santa Monica must know after Ascension people are wanting a different God of War experience or a new game altogether.

How do you feel about Horizon? When I first saw it I was super hyped, way more hyped than I've ever been for any game. Whenever anything new comes out about it, I get so excited because it just looks so amazing and it has such a huge potential to be huge. That is the reason, however, that I'm really worried about it. Guerilla have never worked on anything like this before and I'm quite scared that they're going to mess it up and ruin Horizon's name so it can never become a huge franchise.

I cannot wait to see what Santa Monica are doing, the God of War games are incredible and I would be super happy if they just made a new one with a few fresh ideas and a new story, because I love that formula. I also really want to see what Sucker Punch are doing, Second Son was an awesome game.

More than anything though, I want TLG to live up to the hype.

I have faith, but I loved the killzone games.

I think scepticism about Guerilla and Horizon is fair, but also think Guerilla deserve some credit. They clearly have realised that doing a new genre in an RPG and open world game will be a big undertaking so have hired the right guys for it from Obsidian,CD Project Red and Bethesda. I am not scared Guerilla will mess up Horizon, but I do think some perspective is needed. It is very rare a new I.P comes out and does outstanding, only TLOU last gen came out last gen and was a new I.P that truly blew everyone away. You could argue Mass Effect and Bioshock too but they are not the same level as TLOU. TLOU was also in the same genre as Uncharted whilst Horizon is completely different Killzone, so for me Guerilla deserve massive credit and praise for trying a new I.P and genre.I am generally expecting a good game with lots of promise but a few flaws which hold it back from being great but with huge promise for a sequel. My other perspective is that Sony are hyping this game up to be a big property and these guys have seen numerous fantastic games come out of their studios and if they think Horizon is going to be something special who are we really to argue. The great thing about Sony is that with the position they have in the market if Horizon does not gain top top reviews then it won't hurt their market share. Of course should it do well its definitely Sony's next big franchise.

I was so disappointed when SSM's new I.P got canned but the best thing for them now is to work on something familiar in God Of War and prove to Sony that they deserve another chance with a new I.P. SP for me are on the verge of the big time, they know how to make good open world action games with solid stories and great gameplay. They just never seem to have enough content in the games to take their games to the top level. I think they either need more time on their games because Second Son seemed a bit rushed with a low amount of side content or to hire more staff. SP have the foundations nailed though.

Yes i would love for TLG for to deliver after so long in development.

I've gotten really really really excited about games before, but this is nuts!
