is Sony building a new studio in San Francisco? Doing new project in Bend?

I'm sure they are. The question is if it's a new IP or a LBP. I hope it's something different. 

Another thing I am wondering is why sony hasn't put up a studio like XSeed for the west. A small team, just focused on localization efforts. Make them work on like 1-2 projects a year. 

I don't think there's really a need for another LBP on Vita.  Treat them like Mario, 1 per console, LBPV will have legs a long way into the future imo.  And besides:

- LBP1 -> LBP PSP (both platform games with creation tools).

- LBP2 -> LBP Vita (both platforms for games).

- ???

Think we'd need another home console entry first, and there's not gonna be another one of those for a while.

I was thinking more something else that they could develop.  Idk, like an Infamous or something.  Saying that though, Sony generally tend to keep their outsourced games on the same continent (i.e. Ready at Dawn doing God of War, Bend doing Uncharted (USA); Tasier doing LBP Vita, Cambridge doing Killzone (Europe)).  I don't really see any other European franchise to pick up, so maybe we'll have something new!

What I'd love to see more than anything, though, is someone pick up 'Eight Days':

I wish they'd take some projects off SCE London so they could finish it :(

indeed. 8 days has so much potential. I have watched that video like 20 times I think lol

Tarsier are a talented bunch and they use actual fans in game development which is a very smart thing to do. I hope they bring a new IP. Sony has actually, and I think they don't get enough credit for this, have tried to push a lot of new IPs from the get go of the system. So hopefully they will keep this going. It will pay off in the long run.
