INDEX, use this to navigate the thread as you other-ways will haw to do a lot of scrolling due to the post containing the lists being very long.

http://xs119.xs.to/xs119/07384/SGDR-Ex02.PNG This icon is located to the right of the chapter titles. By clicking it you'll be taken back to the index.

http://xs320.xs.to/xs320/07405/SGDR-Ex04.PNG An even faster way to browse the lists is to use your browser's page-search-function and search for the chapter numbers.

http://xs119.xs.to/xs119/07384/SGDR-Ex01.PNG Game icons with a blue boarder and this tag in the top right corner are linked to the game's official thread at PSinsider.

The games are colour coded after the traffic-light system:
Green = The game is already released
Yellow = The game is expected to be released within the current fiscal year
Red = The game is possibly canned
Black = Only expected to be released in the next fiscal year

Disclaimer: Please do note that this thread isn't intended for console or publisher comparisons.
The purpose is solemnly to satisfy a curiosity provoked by Sony's comments about having invested its resources in a strong 1'st party to carry the Playstation 3 until it gets a installed base big enough to pull 3'rd party exclusive games by it self.

1. The 3 main studios and presidents

Sony currently has 3 independent "major" studios:

Sony Computer Entertainment World Wide; lead by Phil Harrison (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Harrison)

Sony Online Entertainment LLC; lead by John Smedley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Smedley_(developer))

Sony Pictures (Digital) Entertainment; lead by Yair Landau (http://www.sonypictures.com/corp/bio_yair_landau.html)

When Sony is referred to as the 3'rd biggest game developer (staff size) or 3'rd biggest publisher (revenue from games published) it's (to my knowledge) only for SCE WW without including SOE and SPE.
Also at gaming conventions like E3 SOE and SCE-WW got separate booths.

Currently SPE only makes small arcade downloadable games and the ones for PS3 will be published through SOE.

Studios named "SCE city name" aren't really studios but development groups containing sevarel studios controlled from a seat in the particulare city which then handles the finances and contact with 3'rd party studios.

It sure took its sweet time, I have been fiddling with the list for some time adding studio logos, kept the list up to date, added Wikipedia links for more elaborated studio descriptions, added a bin for games which might be canned, changed layout and so on which all resulted in the thread expiring. LOL

But I do have some questions:

- Should I add GT5 Prologue
- Should Warhawk be moved to PSN
- Is it obvious that BRD is short for Blu-Ray Disc
- Are the list layouts too cluttered (if yes, any ideas how to improve?)
- What to do with Incognito and Jaffe's new studio
- Are there anyone here who do not use the PSI forum-GUI

Please do tell if you fall over some errors :D

[cliffbo]

+rep fella, this forum thrives on enterprise like this

well done

[Fats]

+Rep indeed, this stinks of waaaay too much effort. :)

[GTAce]

Great job man. +reppage.

[VG Aficionado]

Great to see your work again, VonGak :) +rep!

Not intending to be extremely nitpicking, but can you replace the pics for Super Stardust HD, MotorStorm, GT5 and HSG5? Those are sooo old :-p Other games could use nicer pics too :cowboy:

Thanks for all the +rep guys but you already repped me for the old thread and this is just a re-post combined with a compulsive need to list things.

You are right, those games deserve better.

Suggestions will be appreciated. :D

Again :O I already donated half a pint today (though it was returned as free Cola).

[overclocked]

Great summary/compilation!

[Sephiroth_VII]

Really well done!! Can't be repped enough times for this effort!!

Nice to see you again, overclocked.

Vongak, if you can keep this up to date, I'll sticky it.

Forget sticky, make it a active editorial.

Great stuff.

Only suggestion is that the bright green text is very hard to read, perhaps you could change the colour?

[VonGak]

@ VG

I'll rep you for having reccomended XS.TO to me as soon as I have spread some reppage.

Damn good work.

Vongak, if you can keep this up to date, I'll sticky it.

Thanks :D It's a compulsive disorder so it would be harder for me not to update the list.

+rep

- Broadenend the blue frame by one pixel around icons with links to game specific threads
- Fixed colour tagging for PSN titles (Yellow was missing)
- Added Everyday Shooter to PSN titles
- Added Go! Sports Ski to PSN titles
- Added Jonathan Mak's one man studio; Queasy Games to 3'rd party relations
- Added Yuke's Media Creations to 3'rd party relations

- Added a 'Closed down' tag to Incognito in 3'rd party relations

EDIT:

- Added Quantic Dreams to 3'rd party relations

[GTAce]

But I do have some questions:

- Should I add GT5 Prologue
Yes
- Should Warhawk be moved to PSN
Why not in both?
- Is it obvious that BRD is short for Blu-Ray Disc
The official one would be BD but its okay though
- Are the list layouts too cluttered (if yes, any ideas how to improve?)
Theyre okay

Please do tell if you fall over some errors :D

Of course just my opinions.^^

[curryking1]

Vongak ftw! :D

[lips]

I would not mind to find out what team ico is working on.. :drool:
keep us up to date please.

[El_Indigo]

I'm pretty sure that 989 Studios(exception for Sports) doesn't exists anymore Von.

Nice work though.

P.S check your PM's

[VonGak]

Yeah BD sounds and looks better but sadly PSN is 3 letters. I'll try to see if I can do it in a more fancy way by using tables.

Dunno about putting Warhawk in both BRD and PSN as it could open for confusion... extra work with Socom, LBP and GT5P and I'm lazy.

Who -repped this guy! :nono:

I think the 989 Studios exists in the sense that they were renamed to SCE Foster City, San Diego and Santa Monica. Perhaps I should use the term 'former' instead of 'includes' or "includes former"?

[GTAce]

and I'm lazy.

Yeah... for sure. :laugh:

[VonGak]

UPDATE

- Re-uploaded 35 icons which xs.to had lost (sorry, had not noticed it before now)
- Renamed Everyday Shooter to Riffed
- Changed colour tagging so only canned games are red to create symetry in the layout
- Changed "In the Bin" to "Possibly canned"
- Changed Aqua Vita to yellow
- Added High Velocity Bowling to PSN games
- Added Trials of Topoq to PSN games
- Added Elefunk to PSN games
- Added Operation - Creature Feature to PSN games
- Added Eye Create to PSN games

[curryking1]

That's... a lot of mofoing stuff.... it took me long to skim through it.

[OmniCloud]

I'm interested to see what Eyecreate becomes...

As well as Eight Days and The Getaway...

Of course the biggest ? up there is what the hell is Team Ico doing? Those guys make game poetry...

[VonGak]

It can't really be called an update but I have added a small tag saying 'LINK' in the corner of the icons for games which are linked to their official threads on this board as I didn't see the blue boarder as being a good enough indicator.

BTW, I'm planning to play around a little with tables (yup, I'm very strong) in the lists over studios where the essentials from the links [HOME][IGN][WIKI] are written in the table so people won't have to browse too much.

(EDIT)Example of content planned to be included in the tables:

No clue why but I really hope 8 Days isn't canned.

[VonGak]

Sorry for making a new post instead of editing the previous but it's to keep the thread active (open)

UPDATE
- Added Aqua to PSN games
- Added Flower to PSN games
- Added Go! Sudoku to PSN games
- Added High Stakes on the Vegas Strip - Poker Edition to PSN games
- Added pixeljunk racers to PSN games

Layout Updates
8o 800+ views, yeah probably ~50% or more of those are made by me but with the thread stickied where also the not so regular PSIs drop by I thought the layout should be more intuitive and informative.

- Indented the game icons to make it easier on the eyes
- Indented headlines and sub headlines instead of using different fonts
- The index now quick links to the posts
- All posts now have a return link to the index in the upper right corner
- Made the colour tagging universal for then entire list instead of only the game lists
- Blu-Ray and PSN games are no longer being counted,
instead it's made more clear who the developer is and if it's 1'st or 3'rd party
- Inspired by car-card-games each studio now has its own card with the most essential info and links to more in-depth info
- There's now a READ ME in the topic post telling how to get the most out of the thread
- Re-arranged the posts

P.s. +Rep is always nice but I'd rather have comments because they help keeping the thread active as in not locked (due to posting inactivity).
And complaints about the layout are even more appreciated as long as they stay constructive.

[GTAce]

The layout is perfect imo (btw. the HOME button roxx da house lol).

2 things i noticed:
"Formula One '06" is called "Formula One Championship Edition".
I miss the PS1 games "Motor Toon Grand Prix" and "Motor Toon Grand Prix 2" in the games list from Polyphony.

And you get rep too of course. :-p

I'll correct F1 straight away :thumbl: but I'm not sure if Poly existed when Kaz directed Motor Toon or if that was at Japan Studio.

=-o

Thanks :D

[VG Aficionado]

I know that was not constructive, but you have my support anyway :-p You're doing a great job!

[GTAce]

but I'm not sure if Poly existed when Kaz directed Motor Toon or if that was at Japan Studio.

Hmmm yeah okay according to wikipedia it was but IGN says just Sony.
So youre right.

[curryking1]

:worthy::worthy::worthy:

[GTAce]

Oops saw something and i think i let ya know VonGak.
You have listed God of War as a Blu-ray title and i think you should rename KILLZONE in KILLZONE 2 and make it black, because many sources stated it will come late 2008 so in the next fiscal year. :wave:

[curryking1]

I vote this the best thread ever btw :)

[VG Aficionado]

Phil Harrison said Killzone 2 is an early 2008 game, but whatever.

I gave my vote to it as well :)

[GTAce]

Really?
I thought they said latet i will come late '08.
Maybe im wrong lol, never mind.^^

[curryking1]

^I don't really remember where that came from and I doubt it was from someone at Guerilla or Sony or anywhere credible. I'm pretty sure it was just some random assumption.

I'd just take the Early '08 date as our best guess right now too.

[VonGak]

I know that was not constructive, but you have my support anyway :-p You're doing a great job!

Every comment is appreciated because then it doesn't look like I'm talking to myself. :D

Hmmm yeah okay according to wikipedia it was but IGN says just Sony.
So youre right.

On the other hand IGN is quite off sometimes too.

Ex. some goofball listed the latest CrashBandicoot racer for PSP under Naughty Dog. :S

:worthy::worthy::worthy:

Finally someone got the point ^.^

But do not forget the most important part of a religion, make other people blindly worship the same as you. :whip:

Yeah like with MotorStorm 2 I took the freedom to list God of War as them must have gotten the green light by now.

Dunno about KZ2 though, isn't the '2' only the working title until it gets a subtitle like 'Liberations'? Perhaps I should make [working title] tags instead of (untitled).

Anyway, the game will stay "yellow" as I'm a dreamer. :queer:

I vote this the best thread ever btw :)

Aww, now I feel like Orson Welles

[cliffbo]

exceptional post. it's a pity those that say that Sony have no games don't pay this thread a visit +rep (again)

damn, i'm going to have to wait

Foster City Studio still exists ? beside R&D what are they up to ?

989 sports and Sony bend as far as i know still do have 989 employees.

You never check your PM box do you

[VonGak]

LOL Granted I'm not the fastest to respond to PMs.

There were some cuts made a while back but SCE Foster still exists as SCEA's headquarter for publishing, PR and 3'rd party relations though they do not actually develop games.

Vongak, you da man bro!! Great great great thread. Keep up the good work!

Actually they do or atleast did, but anyway I asked around and from what I have been told the devs at Foster are now mostly assisting 2nd party devs and doing R&D work.

[VonGak]

Yeah it's mainly possessed/haunted by PR folks now like the former now ex Sony Insider (or whatever he called him self).

minimalistic UPDATE:
- Linked Heavy Rain's icon to the official thread
- Made a mew Afrika icon
- Added Gran Turismo 5 Prologue as a game
(a reason for no longer counting the games was so Prologue and Sudoku titles could be added)
- Made Go! Sports Ski green

A conundrum:
1UP and IGN list PixelJunk as published by SCE but the devs says the games are self financed.

EDIT Removed:
PixelJunk Racers by Q-Games, 3'rd party
http://xs219.xs.to/xs219/07384/SGDR-PixelJunkRacers.PNG

EDIT:

- Minor adjustment in the Read Me First
- Added Tori Emaki to PSN games

EDIT:

- Added Mesmerize to PSN games

EDIT:

- Made Riffed green
- Made NBA '08 green
- Added NBA '09

[curryking1]

I'd put just self financed for now then I think? Lol.

[VonGak]

^ Good call, or else the list would also have drowned in PixelJunk

[VonGak]

UPDATE:
- Added Rat Race to PSN games
- Added Icon for EyeCreate
- Turned EyeCreate green
- Turned Ratchet and Clank Future - Tools of Destruction Green
- Added 8bit to 3'rd party relations
- Added Zoonami and Cohort Studios as one studio in 3'rd party relations
- Added SuperEgo Games to 3'rd party relations

[VonGak]

That's it, thanks to McBradders at NeoGaf Eight Days is back on the list.

Now I just hope Eyedentify will be confirmed to still exist, that game concept has potential if done right.

[OmniCloud]

After browsing the list of games one wonders this...

Where's Socom?

What the freak is Afrika?

Where's the Eiihnader-like game that was titled in like German I think?

Where's 8 days and The Getaway?

Why aren't half of those PSeye games on the store yet?

hmm.....

[\m/]

I saw 8 Days somewhere, can't remember where though.

[VonGak]

After browsing the list of games one wonders this...

1) Where's Socom?

2) What the freak is Afrika?

3) Where's the Eiihnader-like game that was titled in like German I think?

4) Where's 8 days and The Getaway?

5) Why aren't half of those PSeye games on the store yet?

hmm.....

1) Socom is under PSN titles

2) It's the very first game on the Blu-Ray list

3) Sorry, I don't know which game you are referring to. :( What is it about?

4) They are in the Blu-Ray game list, though "8 Days" is listed as "Eight Days" (all games are listed Alphabetically)

5) Dunno, I guess it takes time even to develop EyeToy titles, but:

- Eye of Judgment is out
- Eyedentify is listed as probably canned because we haven't heard about it since E3 '05
- Aqua is not slated for this year
- Eye Create is out
- Flower, do we know the controls for this?
- TTP from NeoGaf has the review code for Mesmerize and Tori Emaki
- For Aqua Vita and Sky Blue, the only info we got on these two titles is one trailer shown some time ago

----

Sorry for not having been up to date with the colour coding, I'll have a look at it tomorrow.

[VonGak]

Sephirot be darned, it's all him and his "golden gate to the Anime world"'s fault that I haven't kept this thread up to date.

That and this board seriously lacking "mindbogglingly dumb sensationalistic oh the doom and gloom pour down" topics to anger me enough to pause an episode and contribute.



- Set Game Republic as developer of Toy Home

- Added icon for Operation Creature Feature

- Set SCE London as developer of Operation Creature Feature

- Added Icon for Trials of Topoq

- Set Trials of Topoq to green

- High Velocity Bowling set to green

Should Gripshift by Sidhe Interactive be removed now that it's headed for the 360 too?

[VonGak]

UPDATE
- Gran Turismo 5 Prologue set to green
- Added icon to MLB '08 the Show
- Replaced KillZone 2 icon
- Replaced WipEout HD icon
- Linked WipEout HD to its dedicated thread

I'm planning to add a new "feature"; informative videos.

The purpose is to have links to videos represented by this icon http://xs122.xs.to/xs122/07524/SGDR-Video.PNG which tells what the games are about.

So if anyone sits with links to videos which captures the essence of a game then please let me know, but due to the images per post restriction the informative videos will only cover games overlooked by the mainstream press.

[GTAce]

Do you want YouTube videos?
I can search for you some and PM you with links if you want.

[VonGak]

Oh no need to actively search, but should you stumble upon a good video then please throw me a link. ^.^

Any video upload site (Veoh, Gametrailers, Youtube,...) will do and it doesn't matter if the video is positive or negative on the game as long as it's informative and preferably done by non-professionals.

[GTAce]

Alright!

Btw. EOJ is still yellow and should be green now.^^

[VonGak]

I'll fix that straight away :cry2: My last post and edit this year *snif*

Happy Newyear and merry Xmas everyone :wave:

[Sephiroth_VII]

You too! Still almost 5 more hours to go though. ;)

This thread has more information than most PS3 websites. I enjoy reading that first page every now and then, even when its been inactive for quite some time.
