That's almost too obvious that it's likely what will happen. That will be the good news.

The neo gaf claims of "good news to follow" from this, and his speech ending on "the best is yet to come".

I think either a new studio/project somewhere else, or most are put to work on GT.

Okay, I misspoke.What I meant is that they dont release that many exclusives(first partys I mean).Well, at the very least, I dont feel like they do.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Yeah. It's a shame. Together with TLOU:R and LBP3, Driveclub was my favorite 1st party exclusive on PS4.

I do think SCE still has a healthy number of studios though.

Sony Computer Entertainment:

Bend Studio - unannounced survival horror PS4 game similar to The Last of Us
Guerrilla Cambridge - Rigs
Guerrilla Games - Horizon: Zero Dawn
Japan Studio - The Last Guardian (Team Ico) + Gravity Rush 2 (Team Gravity)
London Studio - PlayStation VR World
Media Molecule - Dreams
Naughty Dog - Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (Team 1) + unannounced PS4 game (Team 2)
North West Studio - unannounced PSVR game
Polyphony Digital - Gran Turismo: Sport
San Diego Studio - MLB: The Show 16 (Team 1) + Kill Strain (Team 2)
Santa Monica Studio - God of War PS4 game
Sucker Punch Productions - unannounced open world PS4 game

I could have sworn I saw them posted here. You mean this one:

While I might agree with you the first two years where a bit bar boned. Have you seen all the exclusive content for PS4 in 2016 it's a pretty huge amount of high budget parties swarmed all over the year.

Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Not too surprising unfortunately. Must be hard for Sony to justify having two studios dedicated solely to racing games at a time of such high costs and competition. Especially when one fumbles the launch of their last game so badly.

I thought they were great though. Motorstorm was the first game I played on my PS3, and blew me away with how good it looked, and was fun as hell too. Driveclub was my first racer of this gen too, and is one of my favourite racing games of all time. A Dirveclub 2 would have been special.

Having read a little more, I don't think this is the end of DRIVECLUB, just a new driver in the cockpit.

So there is still hope for Driveclub VR (yes I know it's a bit insensitive but I would love a VR update). Anyway dick move from Sony to held a requitment event before closing evolution to aquire lion head staff. Hopefully they find new jobs soon.
