Nice to see they are getting something bigger than a VR game. Eight Days looked so cool with these covers, sliding and even shooting from the chopper, and these visuals back then were great.
I'm worried with the 'online multiplayer' part. I prefer Sony to focus on single player games, that are the games I prefer. I don't like to play online outside Street Fighter, rarely played some games like Destiny, Wipeout and a few other ones.
As said before, if it's a secondary mode like in Uncharted or TLOU, then it's ok for me. But I won't buy a game focused on online multiplayer.

Arrowhead? I though Helldivers was a 3rd tier game with low sales outside PS Plus. Are you sure Sony is going to publish them a game again or to pay them for an exclusive? I wouldn't bet on it.

I'm basically over Multiplayer games since the Modern Warfare 2 days (outside of very few exceptions) and never ever bothered with Multiplayer only games outside of Battlefront 2015, but i'm pretty sure Xbox and certainly PC are better choices for those.
And it's not even a matter of skills, as i've always kicked asses in matches.. i just think it's beyond moronic buying games with expiration dates.
Only reason i'm a Sony fan is because of their single player games, they gone, i'm gone.

....sounds like more VR "First of all, thank you for your continued support. We’ve been hard at work exploring the possibilities of VR, learning from our work on Farpoint, and building something special. We look forward to sharing more with you soon."

The getaway 3 would be awesome, i remember buying the first game on release day at my local Blockbuster video store and got a free copy of jak and Daxter! But i reckon something like a new socom would be even better.

HellDivers was a mild success for Sony/Arrowhead. A game made by 10 or so people, released in 2015.
Since then, Arrowhead has staffed up to 65+ people, and have apparently been given an extended development cycle, which suggests to me they have the backing of a major publisher.
My money is on Sony.

I love sony exclusive single player games, Love em. But to finally get more big high budget multiplayer games, can't wait for Factions 2 btw, would be fantastic.

Never said you had to like MP games. Just wish Sony would pull it's amazing resources to make at least a few great MP focused games. I have plenty of SP games to choose from. MP? No so much, even from MS and other third part titles.

That's already too many for me, as i would see that as resources pulled from potential SP games.. but sure, lots of people like them so it would be reasonable to focus a bit more on those.
I don't know.. i feel it's the opposite to be honest.

Ah, this is wonderful image of the common, usual, online experience.
You can argue that people would get tired after years and years of flying poo, but this would not be the case, it seems people can't get enough flinging poo at each other.
Nonetheless my hope is still intact as I won't surrender to the overwhelming possibility that this game too will be nothing less and nothing more than the usual, common online experience.
And even when this hope will be shattered by the evidence of reality, my hope like a bee will fly to another flower, trying to cover the acrid stink of shit with the sublime scent of pollen.

A really crazy mag 2 game with many modes simultaneusly would be great. Imagine that the 1k playes in the map, 200 are doing a capture the flag objective, others as doing a domination, another ones a seek and drestroy game, even 100 are doing a type of battle roayle were the final player can make more points. And everything counting for a "end of war". Would be really crazy

Some people over at ResetEra pointed out that London Studio has recently erased any mention to VR in their website:
Old (October 2020)
New

Also, Stuart Whyte (former director of VR product development) is now Sony London's studio head:

Interesting stuff. Maybe y'all are right and the "unannounced PlayStation 5 title" mentioned in the following LinkedIn profile is indeed a console game and not a VR title:
Combine all of that with the recent SOHO ENGINE trademark by SIE Europe and, wow, it kind of looks like London Studio could be returning to AAA console development.

The sooner Sony ditches VR the better. It’s a dead platform, sales have stagnated, no ones buying or talking about VR, it’s as niche as it gets. Put these studios on AAA titles that will sell 15-20 million units and sell consoles like nobodies business.
Five million units for an install base of over 100 million consoles is shocking.

I'm saying. When Sony got all horny for open world games ie (Spiderman, Days Gone, Horizon) etc, I felt for sure The Getaway remake, reboot or 3 was right around the corner.
I need them doing Top Boy things bruv

Thats super early though. They made blood and truth last year. I mean they could be all in on production, but to show it? Doubtfull right now. Your going to see more IN-Depth look into Returnal, RATCHET, new MLB the show push for it being multiplatform, GT7 and updates on Horizon.

No ones talking psvr because the tech is terrible. You said no one is talking about VR, which is wrong. Oculus 2 is going great.

yes, unfortunately there was a very abrupt change in direction inside Sony and since then psvr was fucked - it's now only legacy tech on PS5.
I know of at least one big shot who got fed up with it and left.
I left psvr is disgust too, now fully on Oculus Quest. Let Sony keep pushing their ancient flat drivel for old-school boomers... old audiences just die and get replaced by new players interested in new stuff rather than game old crap:
tons of kids like this in the VR multiplayer arenas, Population One, roblox, Minecraft etc
here's a 80s boomer meeting the new audiences:

A return to test this awesome series popularity, and to bring back single player games if succesful

Hopefully it's a Battle Royale built from the ground up for PS5.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Sony hasn’t had a AAA multiplayer shooter in a long time people are still playing Gears, and Halo 3 how the hell did that happen? Well, they hold up in value and SONY wants that.
