• The PlayStation Studios head is centrally located to orchestrate expansion efforts, coordinating the work of some 4,000 developers across 19 studios from Japan to California.
• I want to look at our professionals as people that can have balanced long term careers with proper career progression," Hulst says.
• Hulst says his teams are trying to tackle the issue with nuance. He floated that an experienced art director might decide they want to work a Saturday to polish something. "Am I going to say no? Well, it's a bit more complex, because what if his entire team then feels obliged to also go in? So what that means is that we need to have that conversation with the art director and say: 'That's about the game. But there's also your team.'"
• In March, Sony's live ops effort with racing game Gran Turismo 7 hit a snag after it had to correct an unpopular update tied to virtual car prices. "We've got to listen and learn and react quickly," Hulst says of the experience. "That's what we're learning."
• We are also considering cross-play between both console and mobile, and Savage Game Studios, which recently joined PS Studio, is also developing a AAA-class live service action game.
• As for mobile, we believe that developing titles that are suitable for mobile and realizing cross-play between console and mobile is also an important initiative. For mobile-first IP, we would like to actively launch on mobile.
• There are several studios using Guerrilla Games' Decima engine.

die bemerkung über die nutzung von decima ist in der form nicht ganz uninteressant, da es vor paar wochen auch das gerücht gab, dass bend studio für ihre neue ip nicht mehr unreal, sondern eben decima nutzt.

edit2: in einem weiteren interview wurde dann auch bestätigt, wie sie in der zukunft mit pc ports umgehen wollen. singleplayer spiele werden nicht day 1 auf dem pc stattfinden, aber eben bei den gaas/mp titeln ist dies geplant. macht auch am meisten sinn.

Mal ne Frage, da ich bald mein Steam Deck bekomme und man bei Steam ja auch die Sony Titel kaufen kann: bieten die Cross Save mit den PS-Versionen? Das wäre ziemlich göttlich!

“A key part of our global expansion strategy is to meet consumers wherever they are, which is why we’re excited to enhance both Disney+ and Star+ for PlayStation 5 users,” said Jerrell Jimerson, Disney Streaming’s EVP of Product & Design, in a release. “The ability to support 4K HDR video streaming on the platform will also improve the viewing experience for fans.”

ergo Gran Turismo 7 erst Q1/2023 auf PC

Edit: irgendwie bislang überlesen. 25 Projekte in Entwicklung - rund die Hälfte, ergo 13 - sind komplett neue IPs und Ideen bei den Playstation Studios.
(ab 8.25 im Video) Da steht ja mal echt ein frischer Gaming Wind an, bestimmt auch einige PSVR 2 Games dabei.

schneller, besser, toller - einfach stable.

gerade macht das gerücht die runde, dass playstation und valve an einem half-life: alyx port für psvr2 arbeitet, der irgendwann 2023 erscheint.

Half-Life: Alyx is coming to Playstation VR2 - The Leak

Half-Life Alyx gets its first console port as it's heading towards PSVR2 in 2023 according to our source.

theleak.co

Our source has told us that Sony were in negotiations with Valve about Half-Life Alyx for a long time before reaching a settlements. The game has been exclusive for most PC-compatible VR headsets but Sony has bought the rights to have it published in 2023.

According to our source it will not be released alongside the VR2 launch. And it’s unknown if it’s going to be a remaster or an upgraded deluxe version of Half-Life Alyx. Our source has been provided with genuine, real leaked information before. However, as date changes and cancellations are common in the gaming world, nothing is set in stone.

wäre ein absoluter no-brainer und man kann nur hoffen, dass dies der wahrheit entspricht. leider ist die seite und damit auch die quelle für das gerücht nicht wirklich glaubwürdig, hab auch niemand gesehen, der das irgendwie bestätigten oder decken wollte. von daher alles mal lieber mit vorsicht genießen.

wahrscheinlich handelt es sich dabei um project carbon aus der geleakten liste von vor paar tagen:

As for what Haven is working on, Olson demonstrated a differentiable rendering tool that takes a 3D model of a human head in a photorealistic style and alter the image based on a user prompt, whether it be "evil clown," "aquatic alien," or "werewolf." He cautioned there were still a number of hurdles to be cleared before any such output would be realistically usable by the development team, but he was clearly enthusiastic about the future potential.

She acknowledged Haven's roots at Stadia, and while she said the team was excited about what the cloud could do for the end user experience, she was more keen on what it could do for game engines and dev tools. She said she sees experiments with machine learning in game development in much the same way.

Cerny was particularly interested in how tools like Olson demonstrated could be used to create lots of content quickly that may not be "directly publishable AAA content," but is good enough to get an idea across.

He also echoed Olson's point about the potential for such tools to be used for unique customized content, saying, "What's important is that you're expressing your individuality as a player and it's a little bit less important whether a serious artist would look at that and say, 'You know we could do a little bit better over here.'"

Raymond concluded: "Our north star at Haven is creating a new IP that can be owned by the fans, where the fans are really driving that. Once you launch a service game, the fans do take over. And what does that mean, and where can we bring that, if we can get these tools to the players?"

Gerücht

Production of the new detachable disc drive console is expected to start in April 2023, with the console hitting the market in September of that year, sources said.

It was said that Sony aims to sell 18 million consoles in FY22 and 30.5 million in FY23, just shy of a 70% increase YoY.

12 million of the 30.5 million consoles in FY23 will be of the “old PlayStation 5”, with that console completely ceasing production by the holiday of 2023.

It’s believed that the new detachable disc drive PlayStation 5 is a means to reduce production costs. Moving forward, the company will only need to manufacture one console but have the two price points of the digital and disc versions.

How PlayStation Studios Malaysia is Playing a Growing Role in Sony's Most Important Franchises

Founded in 2020, PlayStation Studios Malaysia is the newest first-party PlayStation studio to be created from the ground up by Sony. Until recently, very little has been known about the projects this studio is working on – but now we know the answer. They’re working on everything.
...
The new Malaysia studio was founded in Kuala Lumpur as a support studio, working closely with PlayStation’s Creative Arts team based in San Diego, and more specifically the Visual Arts team within it. The studio has 77 employees working on creating character models and other visual assets as well as motion capture and more.
