Their is no doubt that this ad is about working on the upcoming PS4 game from Sony Santa Monica, the only question that remains is, what is the game their working on? Is it a new God Of War? Or a completely new IP? I guess time will only tell what it will be, best to keep a watchful eye on E3 2015 or Gamescom 2015 as that could be our best bet where it could be announced. Other than that, everything is still unconfirmed the only thing we can confirm probably that animations will probably be very advanced. What do you guys think about this?
