That would be DOPE! Team Asobi has been hiring quite a bit since 2020, and if it's a smaller title, that would be a great time! Astro's Playroom is still amongst my favorite games this gen lol
| G2ThaUNiT said: That's a completely fair assessment! Totaki already is coming off as a very no-nonsense numbers guy, and he'll do whatever it takes to ensure he likes the numbers PlayStation is bringing in. I think he's only supposed to succeed Jim Ryan for a year, so we'll have to see what kind of changes he makes during his tenure. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like reducing the price of the PS5 is on the table. Totaki pointed out that in previous gens as time went on, it became cheaper to produce consoles. But with the PS5, the parts are becoming more expensive as the life cycle goes on. Which is really weird. While most industries go up in price with time, tech was always an exception to that rule where the price would go down. I would love for Sony to start greenlighting more AA games with smaller budgets and shorter dev cycles. To start the year, there's already been quite a few insanely successful AA games, Helldivers 2 being the most recent example that shows there's a huge market for that level of game. |
I think Sony has to consider real hard to eat the cost of the PS5 if they permanently cut price. Maybe ride out the majority of this year at the current price and then cut the price in October/November. Perhaps the price of tech will go down over time, but in a historical sense, not as much as Sony is used to at this point.
I just hope Totoki doesn't put short term profits over the long term health of their first party studios. Or he's unwilling to expand SIE even further because their profit margins aren't good enough.
Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb says that he’s heard that a new Astrobot game might be ready for this year

As someone who’s a huge fan of Astro’s Playroom I hope this happens. Team Asobi brings a much needed sense of variety to PlayStation Studios that it needs more than ever now pic.twitter.com/dcvBPHZsvF

But the intriguing question is this: PSVR2 exclusive or more traditional PS5 platformer?

Nintendo would have to release a console actually possible of playing them.
You are bound to love Earthbound.

Hopefully hybrid.
I'd actually prefer if they were working on a vr astro and a new traditional ape escape. But no way that is happening lol

They confirmed what they've been doing for the last couple of years, releasing their IP's on Mobile, PC and PS Consoles.
This possibly means that more titles will be released day 1 or close to on PC.

Fear not, whether you're a keyboard commander or a controller connoisseur, rejoice! It's a grand saga where PC pros and console champions alike unite in the pursuit of pixelated glory. So fear not, for in this kingdom of pixels and polygons, triumph awaits at every turn, everyone's a winner in this digital arena.
It's been kind of a weird and slightly disappointing day.
But I also think it's kind of hard to say exactly what's changing with the multiplatform comments.
There was a comment about profitability, and I'm expecting layoffs.
Really looking forward to a full sized Astrobot game though. The VR game was incredible, in a sense of I felt like I was taken into some parallel universe where Sony spent 30 years making Astro games in the same way that Nintendo makes Mario games. Astro's Playroom is still genuinely one of my favorite games this gen.

I'd be real disappointed if it ended up as a PSVR2 exclusive.
