Deviation is doing multiplayer right?
The founding members are from Treyarch.

GhostofHorizon1570d ago

Nothing has been confirmed, we only know they are working on a new Playstation IP. Considering their previous experience, people are expecting a FPS, most likely with multiplayer.

Wonder if this second team will be working on the same game or are they trying to work on multiple projects.

Hopefully whatever they're working on is cool, without any info that's about all i can say lol

Magog1570d ago

Looks like their new Playstation IP is going to be huge! Call of Duty Killer anyone? 😍

purple1011570d ago

I think teryarch are good. Just that Activision pushed them to release a game too often and the quality suffered. Even with that they still make a decent game

Sony won't push them like that not as fast anyway there will always be pressure.

I think they will make something top quality soon!

CaptainHenry9161570d ago (Edited 1570d ago )

Every Call of Duty developer has suffered. TBH Activision quality games have suffered

ziggurcat1570d ago

"Call of Duty Killer anyone?"

Not likely.

CaptainHenry9161570d ago

I think Call of Duty has killed itself at least in Quality

ziggurcat1570d ago

I dunno, I had a good time with the WWII single player campaign... I would try the Vanguard SP campaign as well since it's more of a "historical" game than the modern warfare stuff I can't stand.

It's a pretty well-established, ridiculously high-selling franchise, so I doubt that much - if anything - can be called a "CoD killer"... especially from an unknown dev team.

CaptainHenry9161570d ago (Edited 1570d ago )

I agree but these yearly releases is starting to ignore me. It feels like they're doing it just to get some quick cash regardless of the quality and reviews.

Orchard1570d ago

It’ll be a COD killer just like how Titanfall was a COD killer and how Haze was a Halo killer.

CaptainHenry9161569d ago

The problem is COD is just not the same anymore in quality. Hardcore gamer's already know that. It's good at making money though especially from the casual gamers

MrBeatdown1570d ago

If Microsoft wants to keep future Call of Duty games of PlayStation, Microsoft would be doing half the job for them.

With the last Call of Duty and Battlefield sucking, if I was a developer I'd be pretty optimistic about my chances.

porkChop1569d ago

The studio is brand new and hasn't released a single game. Some of the devs may be from Treyarch, but the rest are from across the industry. Having experience doesn't mean the new team will have chemistry or work well together out of the gate. Most new studios struggle with their first couple games. Assuming it'll be a COD killer at this stage is a bit much. Let them release a game or two first before we assume they're even on that level.

Also Sony has been arming up for quite some time. Remember hearing About Haven studio being opened a short while back. Whilst expanding existing studios.

Polyphony digital moved to offices twice the size.
Gurilla games tripled their office size
Santa Monica also moved to larger studios

We are totally safe for high quality games

Magog1570d ago

And don't forget Firewalk Studios

https://blog.playstation.co...

Another potential CoD Killer.

purple1011570d ago

Looks good. Don't know what there making though ?

Mr_cheese1570d ago

Personally, I think we need to not focus on the phrase cod killer. Let the games be made and then let then speak for themselves.

Christopher1570d ago

CoD killer based on? Let's not put the cart before the horse here.

Crows901570d ago (Edited 1570d ago )

Sony partnering with a brand new studio that has no IP under its belt. This is what a partnership that leads to purchasing a studio looks like.

They give the studio support and opportunity and overtime if they do well they join the team.

Magog1570d ago

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they are snatching up the Kena Bridge of Spirits Devs soon.

Crows901570d ago

I've yet to play it....but elden ring and horizon are coming out soon...

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

dveio12d 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.

Jingsing11d 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.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

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

S2Killinit12d ago

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

Jingsing11d 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.

Tanktopmaster9211d 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
