Sure thing, let’s dive into this whirlwind of thoughts:
—
So, it’s Wednesday, right? And yeah, PlayStation’s basically showing off its shiny new toy—a studio. Don’t worry… It’s not gonna bite. Only the execs do that! (Kidding. Mostly.) Anyway, this dev squad’s officially in the PS family now, and they go by the name teamLFG. Something about them loving frogs, which, okay, sure. Whatever floats their boat.
Oh man, it all came out in this PS Blog post. Picture a super proud dad—Sony’s Hermen Hulst, CEO and stuff—parading around saying, “Look at my new baby!” Though I bet he’d drop you right out of the will if you don’t keep the live-service boat from sinking. Those waters are choppy.
So, teamLFG—standing for Team Looking For Group, if you’re wondering. (No, not the other, ruder option.) Set up shop in Bellevue, Washington, with a mix of fresh faces and battle-worn devs from Destiny, Halo, and League of Legends. Bungie’s like the proud parent who’s had enough and is pushing them out the door.
Team says they’re obsessed with action-packed gameplay and creating these social, virtual spaces where folks can pretend to have friends. (Kidding!) They’re all about building games that are like a warm hug of friendship and community. Sweet, if you’re into that.
So, what’s the deal with these frog-type games? I mean, is Frogger making a comeback? But not your typical frog stuff, apparently. Think more Tekken meets Mario meets viral sensation Crazy Frog from the mid-2000s? No clue, but I can’t stop imagining it. Bonkers, right?
Looks like they’re giving the ol’ early access a spin too, to get those all-important player thoughts. Gotta have that feedback!
Think a Crazy Frog Overwatch mashup is PlayStation’s missing puzzle piece? Or maybe you’re just curious what these folks will whip up next. Seriously, tell us what you’re thinking. The comments are all yours… whenever you’re ready to dive in.
