Worldwide Studios (Ps5) Exclusive Titles to Start Production April 1st, 2018, Praise of GoW, Phil Spencer Comments, Xbox Success of BC and Bonus Rounds – The Primal Podcast #3

The Primal Podcast is a weekly fun and analytical podcast that will focus on big weekly news, interesting articles, industry drama, predictions and all things video games.

Welcome to our #3 episode of The Primal Podcast. In this episode, we discuss the success of God of War and how giving your first party studio complete freedom in creativity can lead to miracles. Rare has also put out an update on Sea of Thieve’s future content, so we decided to talk a little bit about that as well. Phil Spencer also commented on Twitter saying that the next step for Team Xbox is to build a great diverse first party line and that it will take time achieve that similar to how it took time to get backward compatibility going and most powerful hardware the Xbox One X. Microsoft’s recent success with Backwards Compatibility is quite remarkable and there are few things we wanted to say about it, but as usual, a console is nothing without its killer app exclusive first party games.

More leaks are still happening in regards to PlayStation 5’s specs so we take a look at another possible legit (or fake) leak that leads us closer to the final specs of the PlayStation 5 despite Sony saying that PlayStation 5 is still a ways off. We’ve also learned that the PlayStation 5 is codenamed internally at Sony as Epsilon similar to how to PlayStation 4 was codenamed as Orbis and Xbox One being Durango assuming that these new rumors are true and that the exclusive 1st-party games that are developed by Sony Worldwide Studios (Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica etc…) are coming exclusively to the PlayStation 5 if they started production after April 1st, 2018. Which means that anything before April 1st, 2018 is either a cross-gen title or not coming to PlayStation 5 at all from Sony Worldwide Studios. Please note that we’re not taking any of these rumors/leaks at face value or any kind of actual factual evidence. This is all purely for discussion and something to speculate on.

Enjoy the Primal Podcast #3 and let us know what you think about the future of Sony 1st party titles, updated PS5/Epsilion specs, Phil Spencer’s quote, Sea of Thieves future content, the possible return of Bioshock and your hype for Shenmue and Shenmue 2 remasters for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and what you’d like to personally see as well in the comments section below. Stay tuned to Gaming Instincts for more latest news and updates.

Hello everyone, my name is Leo and I am the proud founder of Gaming Instincts. I've been working in the Gaming Industry for over 6 years professionally. However, in my recent times I have decided to go create a new path for myself and that path began with Gaming Instincts. I loves many different types of games genres including FPS, RTS, TPS, MMOs, Arcade Racers and many more. One of my favorite current developers is From Software the creators of the Soulsbourne games. My friends also thing I am crazy because I love trophy and achievement hunting on my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. I always strive to obtain 100% completion including DLC on some of the hardest games that are out in the market. Most notable and proud 100%s are Evolve, Overwatch, Battleborn and both of the Evil Within titles. Over the course of my 6 year career I had the pleasure to speak to some of the biggest publishers and developers in the world including 343 Industries, Turn 10, Rare, Lionhead Studios, Naughty Dog, Ready at Dawn, Bungie, Activision, EA, Epic and many more. What does the future hold for me at Gaming Instincts and where shall we go? Only time will tell.
