makingmusic476 said: I think Killzone 4 is lined up for launch based on rumors, and we'll probably see Uncharted 4 lined up for their second holiday season (2014). Then it's just a matter of when Sony Santa Monica, Media Molecule, Guerrilla Games, and Sucker Punch wrap up the new IPs they're working on, and when Polyphony Digital reveals more about Gran Turismo 6. We'll likely see Sucker Punch's new IP at or before holiday 2014, given the time they've had to work on it since Infamous 2, but it may take a bit longer for the other three, given their second teams are all releasing games this year (God of War: Ascension, the Last of Us, and Tearaway). |
There are rumors, Guerrilla hasn't put out anything in a while so we'll see if they reveal a Guerrilla game at the Sony meeting. When Sony revealed the PS4 they showcased a CG movie showcasing Killzones graphics. Funny enough KZ2 outpaced the CG graphics.

Well, it's the rumors:

And this quote from GG:

Sony lining up GG's main franchise to launch their new console + Killzone: Mercenaries on PSV would certainly make that claim true.
Or maybe their new IP will launch the console. They've been working on it since before KZ3, as far as I know. I just imagine they'd hype a new IP for more than ~8 months before release, so Killzone 4 seems more likely. Plus, between Mercenaries and Killzone 4, it'd be a few months straight of Sony going "KILLZONE! KILLZONE! KILLZONE!" That'd be a big deal for GG.
And we all know what a launch window can do for a franchise's sales and recognition (see: Resistance, Halo - only Bungie capitalized on that momentum while Insomniac squandered it - and to be honest, Resistance 1 wasn't actually all that good). I think this is what Sony needs (and wants) to turn Killzone into the flagship FPS franchise they've been trying to get all these years.
