Great news. Sony is really ramping up its 1st party Studios. Seems like they are going to go to multiple teams per studio vs creating/buying new studios. As far as I can remember, Sony Bend, Guerrilla Games, Naughty Dog, and now Santa Monica are all hiring for 2nd projects. With games taking 4 - 6 years to develop, it makes since that they would run multiple projects on offset schedules.
Now, we just need Polyphony to expand, and make wider use of Gran Turismo, or just make Gran Turismo much bigger. Honestly I would love to see Gran Turismo turn into a service, and basically offer a combined Open World and Circuit Expereince.
For me the ultimate play for two team studios would be one team working VR, and the other team working Retro. I would love to see Santa Monica do a ground up VR title, along a sequel to GOW(2018).
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
