PlayStation London Studio Next Project Has "Huge Potential"

Sony’s London Studio, the devs behind VR World, Blood & Truth and more, has not announced their game in development just yet. But in a new article spotlighting the studio culture and challenges in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, Head of Operations Tara Saunders commented on the London Studio’s next project.

Ausbo1916d ago

While I’m guessing it will be a VR project, I hope it’s not. I’d like to see what this team can do on a larger project

Bennibop1915d ago

Thought they already said it was not a VR title

Ausbo1915d ago

Possibly. But the article doesn’t mention that

bouzebbal1915d ago

The Getaway 3 please guys

Lore1915d ago

Yea real confused on why Sony doesn’t take on massive projects that can compete with GTA or Final Fantasy

excaliburps1915d ago

One can argue that The Last of Us, God of War, etc., are all on that same level of games...

gamesftw2501915d ago

Those are well established IPs and would cost a crap ton of money to make a game like those.

Atticus_finch1915d ago

HZD and Ghost are up there. But the truth is that no game really compares to the GTAV open world.

Lore1915d ago

As good as God of War is, that is not a “massive” game with hundreds of hours of content

Christopher1915d ago

"Why doesn't Sony spend over a billion dollars, take at least six years to develop, and hire over 1,000 developers to make a single game like GTA when they could make at least five award winning and enjoyable games with the same resources and time?"

Dirtnapstor1915d ago

The Getaway needs reviving. Was a really good series. Take that ip and flesh it out to its full potential.

DOMination-1915d ago

I read the other day that GTAV sold more copies in 2020 than in other year (other than the year it launched). That's insane and nobody is going to compete with it. The Getaway was several levels below the quality of GTA and there is no point in pursuing that IP. But I'm sure they are more capable than the SingStar crap they've made since so lets hope they are working on something fresh and interesting.

Kilua1915d ago

Gta has got to be the most overrated franchise of all time. Gta V definitely the most overrated game

BehindTheRows1914d ago (Edited 1914d ago )

Um, sales wise, Uncharted, Spider-Man, Last of Us, and God of War meet and exceed Final Fantasy. GTA is an anomaly and no console manufacturer has a project on that level.

Imalwaysright1914d ago (Edited 1914d ago )

For any studio/publisher to be able to compete with GTA or to be more precise Rockstar, it will need to have the budgets to do so. GTA 5 cost $265 million to make, $65 million more than at the time the game that had the highest budget and it was 7th generation game. RDR2 is estimated by analysts to have cost between $370 million and $540 to make and a proper 8th gen GTA would necessarily have a more complex world wich would only result in a bigger budget. With these kinds of budgets it makes almost impossible for any other studio/publisher to compete with Rockstar games because the risk would be too high.

Why not a larger VR project? They're practically Sony's only first party vr developer and they just announced psvr 2 is coming. They're needed for that.

Jay7671915d ago

Sony can hire second party studios for vr games. vr is still a small market compare to normal AAA game market all Sony first party studios should be working normal ps5 games.

SullysCigar1915d ago

Agreed. They're very skilled with VR and could make a killer PSVR2 launch game to make it an even more compelling purchase.

Can't wait for more news on the new VR!

Jay7671915d ago

I think Sony London is working on a AAA game not a vr game the studio keep giving out hints of this.

GamerRN1915d ago

My question is...

Doesn't EVERY game have huge potential?

Zhipp1915d ago

Valve was able to develop a AAA VR game, i don't really see why Sony couldn't. The platform will never be taken seriously until more studios work on full fledged experiences like Half Life: Alex.

lucasnooker1915d ago

Please oh please be The Getaway!!!

ScootaKuH1915d ago

I think it'll be a new IP but I'd definitely be up for a new Getaway

Abnor_Mal1915d ago

Maybe it will be a hybrid game in the vein of Resident Evil7, by which I mean that it will be a game that's playable inside and outside of vr.

The Getaway in first person may not work because we know the game to be third person, but a game like Eight Days could be possible, or an entirely new project. Hell, it could be a sequel to Blood and Truth non vr, just with it much grander scale and bigger budget.

very very interesting indeed.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio34d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing34d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9234d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit34d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing34d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9234d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
