I think Sony is building up their first party with Naughty Dog and Sony Santamonica to be as reliable and diverse as Rare once was in its heyday. They have both rapidly become two of the top 10 developers on the market today. Says a lot about Sonys value as a company.


What else has Santa Monica done besides God of War? I love those games but I cant think of anything else so not sure id call them diverse.

Sony Santa Monica has worked on numerous titles, including Twisted Metal, Journey, The Last Guardian, Unfinished Swan, etc. Sony is letting them make their own games because they've are good at working and helping tweak unfinished products. Sony Santamonica has helped out so many unfinished games get to a complete level of development that at this point I think their creativity is boundless. Hearing that they've been helping out Team Ico with The Last Guardian is just baffling because its like they have the golden touch from genre, to genre to genre. They've been healing so many different games that are hurting. I cant wait for anything they would ever put out as a new IP.

Damn I didnt know any of that, pretty impressive. Im excited for what they have in store for PS4, the God of War games are great and id like to see there next AAA game.

Yep, The Last Guardian probably would've been scrapped if it wasnt for SSM stepping in. It was in development hell for such a long time. The great thing about Sony is that where the eastern developers are having a hard time adapting to next gen there is finally a bridge between eastern and western development. Team ICO is learning from them greatly.
