So apparently Bend Studio is working on a PS4 game. Looks like the rumors of Sony making a first-party stealth action game and speculation that Syphon Filter would make a comeback could prove true.

Could also be Uncharted, if ND want to do something else?

It's possible but I very much doubt it considering that there have been indications that Naughty Dog is already at work on another Uncharted game. The biggest one being that their Uncharted team was said to be working on a sequel to an existing franchise and that ND has insisted that another Jak & Daxter isn't happening. Verendus had said that a big budget stealth action game was in the works but probably wouldn't release until after 2014 and that certainly sounds like Syphon Filter, which Bend works on. Naughty Dog isn't in the same situation as Media Molecule or Sucker Punch. They have two teams so they don't have to leave a franchise to another studio if they don't want to. It's also Sony's biggest first-party IP since Gran Turismo.

Crash Bandicoot?! :D


Only if Sony either A) bought it from Activision, or B) paid Activision a lot of money to let ND use the IP. Both of which I doubt.

Uncharted hasn't reached crash bandicoot in trems of sales yet. Although platformers haven't been selling a lot this gen except for a fat italian, but crash name should still be big.

Crash Bandicoot isn't a first-party franchise either. It was developed by Naughty Dog before they were bought by Sony. It was also being first sold on a console that ended up with over 100 million console sales and was supported longer than the PS3 has been around unless I'm mistaken. Which makes it more likely that a successful game would sell more copies. As well, yes, platformers were a lot more popular back in the mid to late 90's.

If Naughty Dog isn't wanting to do Jak & Daxter right now because they just can't recapture the essence of that kind of game, you can pretty much forget about them wanting to do Crash Bandicoot even if Sony somehow managed to get that franchise back into their hands. It seems that for the forseeable future we can expect more serious, realistic games from Naughty Dog.

As far as Bend Studio goes, the same problem goes with Crash. With Jak & Daxter it's possible but there have been no "credible" rumors of a new game being made. As I said, the rumor being passed by Verendus on GAF that a stealth action game is in the works and whispers of a potential Syphon Filter comeback, now that it's painfully obvious Metal Gear can no longer be counted among Sony exclusives in any meaningful way, makes me think it's more likely that Bend is working on the only franchise it has ever been able to call its own.

I can understand that.  But you didn't even try the other 2?  They aren't really anything like 1 at all for the most part.  

Is it like standalone games or are there some connecting story to it? I feel like it would've appealed to me when I was younger but at the moment, I rather play something else :> Hell I generally don't like platformers. Find myself getting frustrated XD

Hey, small world.

I was at a family party the other day and found out one of my relatives was one of the top artists on the South Park game.

Of course not, they are all discussing the Xbox One/PS4 versions in that other thread.  

That stupid 720 vs 900 vs 1080 thread is stealing all the posts away.

Kresnik, could you go ahead and lock it while diverting the traffic to the COD 720 vs 1080 thread?

That'd be great.

Fack! Tempting, but as I've said I would rather play what I have right now and then branch out when I've finished most of it.

Surely someone here bought it on Vita already??


I may get Tearaway too.

I've never played CoD on a console . So I am used to being able to spam the shoot buttons. I remember back in the CoD2 days that the rate at which you could shoot from the semi-automatics depended heavily on your FPS, and the ultimate goal was to reach something like 110 FPS stable


lol, well a little mouse button is a lot easer to shoot fast. But the new DS4 is pretty fucking close. I hit the fire limit 3 times in that game, and once in that video. 

you'll see where i'm spamming the fire button at two guys and it stops for a bref second then the two line up and it lets me fire again. It wasn't cause i was trying to kill two with one shot, it's cause the game stopped me from firing. pretty sweet.
