Okay, so it’s Wednesday when I’m jotting this down, and guess what? PlayStation’s got this new studio. They’re all like, “Hey, come meet our new pals!” Seriously, they won’t bite. Except maybe the corporate folks — they might! So, here’s the scoop: this new crew’s called teamLFG, and they’re diving into multiplayer stuff inspired by what they call “frog-type games.” Yeah, no clue what that is either.
Alright, let’s break it down. Sony’s CEO, Hermen Hulst — think proud parent showing off a newborn — introduced them on the PS Blog. But like, don’t mess up, or you might find yourself out of the family photo. Anyway, “Looking For Group” is what teamLFG’s name breaks down to. Not the other, funnier version I thought of. They’re hanging out in Bellevue, Washington. Fancy, right? It’s a blend of fresh faces and old pros — folks who’ve touched games like Destiny, Halo, and that crowd.
They’re all about games that just feel good in the moment and building these cool, social virtual worlds. You know, places where you might actually make friends, not just shoot them. Their mission? It’s about that connection.
In true PlayStation fashion, they’re sticking with the live-service trend. Bold move, really. Their first gig’s an… “incubation project”? Yeah, I think it was mentioned during Bungie’s layoffs, which is kinda ironic.
Now about the game: it’s some team action thing, mixing influences from everywhere — fighting games, MOBAs, platformers, life sims. Oh, and those mysterious frog-type games. Picture a light-hearted, funny universe sprinkled with mythic sci-fi vibes. Frankly, I’m curious. “Frog-type”? Not your classic Frogger stuff. Maybe Crazy Frog’s involved? Honestly, can’t even imagine.
Probably not, but they’re big on early access trials and player feedback, so keep an eye out for those.
What do you think? Is a Crazy Frog-style Overwatch what PlayStation’s missing? Can’t wait to see what these guys are whipping up. Share your thoughts — or just tell me I’m nuts. Either works.
