Sony Insomniac just had a massive leak with upcoming titles and practically everything else

[Dodger]

 

All in on the Marvel plan. Also there is footage of Wolverine floating around, but since it’s now 3 years out it doesn’t look too impressive.

[stepee]

Wolverine is a bit further out than I thought if that sticks. I 100% called that Venom game though damn. 

 

Saddest thing is apparently Rachet didn’t do that well which is probably why they don’t get to try again until 29  That’s a long ass wait in between games, I was hoping it did better and would get some kind of a dedicated team for those. It does sound like their plan is to bring it back as something more ambitious so hopefully it works out and it won’t be another 9 years after that.

RIP Sunset Overdrive 2.

That timeline, for someone who is absolutely not a Marvel fan, is one of the most depressing things I've seen from a big name studio that wasn't "we're laying everyone off."

Like goddamn, that looks dire to my eyes.

 

Does Y axis mean anything? To me it looks like it's either just there for spacing... or for expected returns.

[Dodger]

Possible 2 part Spider Man 3?
 

 

 

Sounds like there is even more stuff leaked

Remember, Sony bought them just to make them the marvel making game. Gross.

Uh oh, someone saw Final Fantasy 7 Remake and thought "why don't we just chop up our game too?"

 

I suppose Miles Morales could be seen like that, but this looks a bit more cynical.

Sony concerns about MS post ABK

 

 

 

[Dodger]

Apparently there’s more Sony stuff out like PC sales data and such. Could be a lot more out in the next few hours

[Xbob42]

This kind of stuff makes me rock hard though. Not the part where Insomniac kind of gets fucked over, moreso the spilling of all these juicy industry secrets and behind-the-scenes strategies.

A lot of of this shit is on the banned site including license terms with Marvel over the X-men games and the royalty split and such. Yeah sucks for Insomniac, but we’re getting a lot of behind the scenes info we’d never get otherwise

I'm skeptical of this. The verbage seems a bit too..... fanboyish.

[Chris-]

The verbiage isn't fanboyish, it is corporate speak through and through. It wouldn't surprise me if that was ripped straight from SIE's strategic plan.

[Brian]

R&C looks like it was added to appease Insomniac. If Sony is forecasting Spiderman 3 to be a $100 game with 24M sales, R&C can’t do those numbers. It’s dead.

Here are the plans for the next R&C.

Seeing R&C never ramps up, makes me doubtful

 

R&C lost money. Goddamn. 

[SaysWho?]

After Spidey 2, they have my complete attention in the superhero world.

 

Might be a while but Ratchet continues.
 

Venom looks to be a Miles Morales situation.

[Biggie]

Meh. I won’t buy any of those games. 

[AbsolutSurgen]

The Spidey games sell really well (and movie rights are owned by Sony).  Makes sense they are doubling down.

Depressing is the wrong word.  I'm not some Marvel junkie either, but this sort of schedule is still an anomaly in the AAA space. 

 

Imagine if Rocksteady Studios developed a mascot platformer as a fun side project while spending 9 years on Suicide Squad.

[AbsolutSurgen]

Let's keep in mind that Insomniac is essentially 2 studios -- and their open world games are much more modest in scope than some others.  Being modest in scope isn't necessarily a criticism, having a more compact open world can lead to different design decisions that make a great game.

It's hard to know when it came from either.  But other than the threat of them neutering Playstation ports, the concerns sound pretty legitimate.

[AbsolutSurgen]

Those Powerpoints have so many errors --- bad grammar, inconsistent use of periods, weird use of short forms.  That it probably wasn't from a senior management meeting.

[Firewithin]

uncultured people not buying R&C.  i may have to double dip on PC during steam sale now after seeing that

Part of my job years ago was to coordinate Board decks at a company with more than $170 billion in revenue.

Senior management at those companies don't do the slides.  They do tend to kick the shit out of their minions if there are errors in the slides.

Actually kind of surprised Sony isnt' willing to let Insomniac work on original IP's that Sony would outright own, rather than making them a Marvel studio.

 

But they have sold gangbusters so can't really blame them either.

Its a cross-media IP, with Insomniac's games not coming to Xbox/Nintendo platforms.  That's probably the bigger reason.  It pushes Sony's consoles, in spite of whatever subscription differential exists.

[ShreddieMercury]

Awesome, a decade of garbage.

Steam unit sales data as of February 2023:

 

[crispy4000]

Releasing Uncharted 4+LL and not a port of Bluepoint's og trilogy was a mistake.  Most of those games still look good enough and plenty of PC gamers have weakish hardware.

[Firewithin]

we all know what will save Sony PC....

 

its time for BLOODBORNE PC!!!

The veracity of those two particular slides has been called into question:

I will not discuss any of the info genuinely leaked. But just an FYI, THESE TWO IMAGES AREN’T PART OF THE LEAK. THEY’RE FAKE. I’ve checked all the PowerPoints personally in the data dump.

Well whoever faked them has a good understanding of how strategic planning groups actually speak!
