Sony Bend's PS4 Game "Will Blow People Away"

Sony Bend, the studio behind the PlayStation Vita's graphical showpiece Uncharted: Golden Abyss, is hyping up its first PlayStation 4 title.

"We know that when people see this they're going to be blown away," creative director John Garvin told Gamasutra. "We can boast that this came from our studio. There's a certain amount of innovation that's coming from the technology side, that just keeps us really buzzing."

Garvin further expressed his excitement in the future of Bend Studio, saying that their upcoming PS4 exclusive will push the platform in ways we haven't seen yet. "I think the thing I'm most excited about is the fact we're doing a PS4 game, and it's next gen, and to me that means we face the challenges of reaching a quality bar that's going to make for an awesome experience for the player.

"Being able to do that, as a small studio in central Oregon, but as a fully-owned studio with PlayStation's full support, means we can reach a quality bar that's really really high," Garvin continued. "We're looking for badass coders to help us push the PS4 somewhere it's never been before."

We still don't know exactly what Sony Bend is working on. Would you like to see the studio return to the Syphon Filterfranchise or perhaps do something completely new?

What do you think, SW? I'm excited. Sony Bend did the Syphon Filter games for PS1/PS2/PSP. They also did Golden Abyss for Vita. It's nice to see a small company like this working on a big console exclusive. I think they will be successful. Reminds me of Ready At Dawn who will be releasing The Order 1886 next month. They too started small, having worked on the Daxter and God of War PSP games.

Don't believe the hype.

I like devs with a bit of passion but they have to deliver. Would really like to see a new syphon filter.

And heres what an ex-staff said about the game

"Hard to say if you should be excited."

LOL

So its probably some gimmicky garbage.

Unfortunately its not Syphon Filter, would've like it too

lmao these guys ended Syphon Filter, the series is done guys

Show first. Talk later.

They made one of the most gimmick heavy games I've ever played.

Not sure why this is in System Wars and not in the PlayStation forum

The game doesn't even exist and already being hyped to death.

Wow never heard this before about an unreleased Sony game *rolls eyes*

Hype is like Salt. Too much and it ruins your dish. And this guy is being very liberal with the hype.

I wonder if they'll release a cgi trailer that the game will look nothing like, again....then lie and say its an accurate depiction the game's graphics/gameplay...again. that trick has worked on cows consistently for the last two gens now. if it ain't broke, dont fix it, right?

Cows will praise it for a whole year before release then hype it A in the hype thread. Rinse and repeat.

I'm curious, but I have my doubts as to whether I'll be "blown away" by this. Anyways, we shall see....

I don’t want to be blown away........

I want to play.

Sony, you are putting your efforts in the wrong direction....

well if uc: golden abyss is anything to go by gamers sure are in for a treat. early game of the generation contender right here folks imo.

I smell another GOTY award for Sony, current gen leader with several GOATS under their belt.

Copy/Paste for what I said on game revolution)

That article was just a bunch of blah blah blah. Blah.

Well, Bend studio always pushed some nice graphics from underpowered portable hardware, but the gameplay was always mind-numbingly generic.

Son, i'm not hyped.

I'm was expecting a new Syphon Filter games but they already said it's not. =/

I thought sony bend was in England for some reason.

Pretty exciting if you ask me.

@SolidGame_basic: From reading John Garvin's comments above, it doesn't even seem like development has even started on this "blow people away" game. So how does he even know?

"We're looking for badass coders to help us push the PS4 somewhere it's never been before."

The Bend Studio doesn't even have all their developers yet. Right now this is all just a pipe dream of wishing and hoping. I'll believe him once he actually has something to show. Until then... meh. Keep dreaming Garvin.

Development started a while a go, we've known about this open world horror game since before last E3. They have a team of about 50 people. Studios always hire more people as development progresses. We're most likely going to see the game at E3.

@Heil68: is it exciting?

Here's hoping it's "blown away" in the sense of gameplay, and not graphics.

So a developer says his game is going to be good? Is that what this post is?

Come on.

I hope it's Knack 2.

say what you want, Knack sold millions
