I've got Depression, suffer Anxiety, at times both have been severe to the point of feeling hopeless and even suicidal at my worst, my Mum has it worse than I do, yet neither of us are offended by the subject of Mental Health being used in any form of entertainment.

I have a bunch of friends and acquaintances who have various different Mental Health issues, in fact 1 in 3 people will suffer some kind of Mental Health issue in their life, yet you rarely see them critical...

Saying The Last of Us shouldn't have a continuation of it's story is like saying The Walking Dead shouldn't have had further series after the first.

There were massive implications at the end of the first game and this game has a world, with more than just a few people living in it. If Naughty Dog feel that there are stories they want to tell in this game's world they've earned the right to tell them.

Could be where we get new footage for Dreams and details when the game's coming, maybe WiLD will get new gameplay too.
Sony has plenty of new stuff they can reveal, London Studio hasn't revealed much outside of VR Worlds or Singstar this gen and they still seem to be a pretty big studio.

I think Sony will largely focus on updates for their announced games, though there's always the chance of new surprises coming out of nowhere.

This article wasn't researched very well, I mean seriously they state that Coded Arms assault was a PS4 game announced ar E3 2016, when it was actually a PS3 game, announced at E3 2006 and Konami technically moved the game away from PS3, they never officially cancelled it.

Eight Days was mistakenly stated by Sony's marketing team to be cancelled, yet Shu and the developers later stated the game was put on hold.
Rockstar have just said nothing about Agent, n...

You do know that games development studios don't reveal everything they've worked on to the public right?

As an example of this Guerrilla put out a request to any and all staff working for the studio to come up with ideas for new games back in early 2011 and 40 concepts were pitched, one was Horizon Zero Dawn and it wasn't officially revealed until E3 2015.
Guerrilla have had less success and no where near the critical praise to Naughty Dog, no doubt De...

Evolution cost more for Sony to keep going, because they've maintained a bigger staffing pool for a lot long than MM has, plus MM work on way more unique projects, that have sold better off the back of a smaller outlay of cash.

Titles like Tearaway cost a lot less than Driveclub to make, with asset design being massively outsourced, along with the cost upkeep of internal resources at Evolution.
BTW since they started out in the PS3 days Media Molecule have cons...

I'm pretty sure Bruce Straley has a team at Naughty Dog working on a new IP, TLOU Part 2 will probably release either late 2018 or early 2019, with Bruce's game coming out 2019 or 2020 on PS4.
There are easter eggs for Savage Starlight in TLOU1, maybe it will be something like what's teased there.

With the size of the studio and the turn around time for Lost Legacy they can most likely make that happen, while keeping the level of quality that they'r...

Maybe they'll update us with info on the campaign at the next big Sony show.
They've probably been busy putting their tools to work on the single player, offline features of the game.

Actually MM did have a team that worked on Unfolded, it wasn't the full studio, they were helped by Tarsier Studios.

I forgot Unfolded released in 2015, thought it was a 2014 game, but MM have put out a title and sold software since LBP 2 and the Vita version of Tearaway, Sony sees them as a viable part of their business, just like Bend and other studios which haven't sold a tonne of software since PS4 launched.

The studio aren't huge in terms of manpower, last I checked they have less than 70 people, they're actually a highly viable business because their games don't require huge sales to be profitable and what profits they make more than cover the development of future projects, while feeding cash back to PlayStation.

Their last release was Tearaway Unfolded on PS4, which released about 3 years ago, it sold modest numbers, but it was largely a remake of the Vita game,...

Seems pretty obvious that Media Molecule are in deep development of the game's campaign.
They showed what fun their engine and tools were to use, how anyone can put together scenes very quickly, now they're actually using their awesomely talented team to put together a fun game, packed with content that will be both fun to play through, but also inspire creative people to make add to the Dreamverse.

Most likely they'll be at Sony's next big event, a...

You pay your service provider for access to the Internet, not for the use of a separate companies servers, which costs that company to maintain their hardware, along with bandwidth significantly bigger than your home broadband provides you.

Your comment makes no sense, thinking your entitled to everything for free in a capitalist world.
Maybe if you'd said that you've paid for games, so using them online you'd have a point, but that isn't what you w...

The only times I've had issues with PSN were when the DDoS attacks were happening or when scheduled maintenance was underway. Speed can be a problem when trying to download plus games.

Stability is good though, clearly the author of this article is lying through their teeth to support their fanboy agenda.

Yep about a month ago Sony were doing 12 months for £29.99, then the other week Amazon did 15 months for the same price. No doubt there will be similar Black Friday offers or another Prime Day deal at a similar time next year.

When you consider the best prices you can pay for the games being included with Plus it's still a bargain and you don't have to pay the price Sony suggests. Despite Sony stating £39.99 was the cost of a 12 month code that didn't stop me getting a 15 month top up for £29.99 on Amazon Prime Day.

Lately the games included with the service have been phenomenal, especially this month.

Maybe if you look around you'll see there are offers like 15 months for £29.99, Amazon had that for Prime Day, they'll probably do something similar on Black Friday or in July 2018.

Personally I'm good now until mid 2019, if people just buy at the SRP they deserve to pay full price.

The series has sold consistently high numbers in 6 mainline entries of the game, with even the last one topping 6 million units, which no other racer manages on a single platform, besides maybe Need For Speed with the odd entry.
How people like yourself don't get that Sony cares more about providing a diverse, wide range of games across it's lineup, to appeal to a big range of people is beyond me.

As for your comments about Kaz doing little work, it's a...

Turn 10 have 50% more staff than Polyphony Digital, plus Turn 10 aren't making both Motorsport and Horizon, they're the only 1st party studio making a racer internally at Microsoft. If you add the team at Playground Games together with Turn 10, there are about 2 and a half times the staff working on GT.

With staff at both T10 and PG making assets that get used across both games.

Polyphony Digital also work with the FIA to set the standards of raci...

Really we know close to zero about what the intentions of "Atari" are with the Atari Box or what kind of a platform and iterations that they may be planning going forward.
The concept art CG renders shown may or may not reflect what their system really looks like, but they have said that they are building something based on requests from the market and audience, so that means their plans are very fluid right now, which likely means the concept designs, in particular scale o...

If Square are splitting FF7 into 3 episodes and we don't get PS5 before November 2020 then they should try to release the first episode by Fall 2018, with each episode after coming exactly a year after the last, so FF7 Part 1 2018, Part 2 2019 and 3 in 2020.
If they then want to release a remastered collection for PS5 that's up to them.

Nomura and co need to treat this like Lord of The Rings or the next Avatar releases if they can't get the game out as ...
