News Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki says PlayStation is reforming currently their gaming business
There is no independence since the moment Sony bougth 100% of the company, which means Sony can do with them whatever they want. In the acquisition Sony decided to keep them multiplatform because Sony was starting to expand to become multiplatform. Sony gave them creative freedom because they... -
Playstation Lego Horizon Adventures | Review Thread
No. Jim Ryan started in April 2019 and Hermen in November 2019. As I mentioned they started to work in 2016 on Helldivers 2, in 2018 on Concord, in 2018 on Horizon Online (they hired its game director to work on it there), Gran Turismo already was GaaS in GT Sport and GT7 development must have... -
News Astro Bot haa sold 1.5 million units
The leaked number was around 7.6M, but these were the sales as of Feb.2022, around 7 years after its release. There was a public announcement of Bloodborne having achieved 2M units sold half a year after its release. -

We have to remember that the GaaS push didn't start with Hermen, did start before him with Shu and Connie. Most games greenlighted by Hermen aren't GaaS. He cancelled 3 GaaS and did shut down Concord just after release. Pretty likely the reason of why Connie was fired was because of the state... -
News Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki says PlayStation is reforming currently their gaming business
Yes, it's pretty slow. Particularly the one related to stores and platforms that support thousands of games and have dozens of millions of users. They are hiring an additional person, it doesn't mean he's the only one working on it. In the past they already had similar job offers for that PC... -
Playstation Lego Horizon Adventures | Review Thread
I'm not defending anything, I'm just showing the reviews of the previous Lego games and mentioning the already posted ones for Lego Horizon. -
Playstation Lego Horizon Adventures | Review Thread
This is not what the image I was quoting there says, the score is in the middle of the ranking of the Lego games scores (which go from 82 to 43), around 10 points away from the top game and around 30 points from the bottom game: On top of this, it still only has around 40-50 reviews. So around... -
News Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki says PlayStation is reforming currently their gaming business
They are looking for an experienced programmer who will work in their San Mateo SIE HQ (not a game studio) to work on PC stuff. Specifically on the "PlayStation PC" app, which I assume would be their PSN store/launcher for PC, and let's say related "coding tools" that would ease other coders... -
Playstation Lego Horizon Adventures | Review Thread
As of now is 70 MC with only 46 reviews, 71 OC with 52 reviews. Seems it's on par for a Lego game, but being Sony should perform better. -

News Spanish dev studio Tequila Works files for bankrupcy
Yep. I updated the OP with extra info, seems that as it is happening in several studios their main investor (in this case Tencent) decided to don't continue funding them and moved away. They are trying to find another investor to save the studio. Yes, the people who worked in that game are... -
Rumor PlayStation Studio Bluepoint Is Working on a New IP – Report
Yes, they could work for a Japan Studio (now Team Asobi) leaded game again but I see Team Asobi working alone on smaller games like Astro Bot, and Bluepoint working instead as one of the many teams who work on a big AAA game leaded by somebody else. XDEV (a.k.a. External Development) mostly... -
Discussion What really is first party nowadays? Definition of first/second/third party games.
The MLB games are first party for Sony or PS. MLB games are third party for Xbox or Switch. No, they are first party (and second party) games using an IP licensed by Sega. This is another dumb bullshit you made out. The "Spider-Man game IP" doesn't exist, so Sony can't own it. The Spider-Man... -
Discussion What really is first party nowadays? Definition of first/second/third party games.
In this image you can see that you are wrong: Sony calls first party MLB even if they don't own the IP. You are wrong, I am right. MLB (or Lego Horizon) is a Sony and PS first party game because Sony is both the publisher and platform holder. And that's why they call it first party there. But... -
News Spanish dev studio Tequila Works files for bankrupcy
After announcing layoffs last month due to a cancelled game, the developer of Rime, (League of Legend, were part of Riot Forge) Song of Nunu, Gylt (was a 2nd party Stadia game), Deadlight or Sexy Brutale now filled for bankrupcy and their owners/board of directors resigned. Similar to what... -
Discussion What really is first party nowadays? Definition of first/second/third party games.
I said a million times that MLB is a first party game for Sony and PS because they publish it. On non-Sony platforms MLB games they are third party games. Nothing you posted proved me wrong, they say the same I said. No, they are first party games (being specific second party games) because... -
Discussion What really is first party nowadays? Definition of first/second/third party games.
You have no idea what are you talking about. MLB The Show is a PS first party game because Sony -the PS platform holder- publishes it on PS, not MLB. It is a 3rd party game on Switch and Xbox because it's published there by MLB, who isn't the platform holder of Xbox or Switch. So it is a 3rd... -
Discussion Sony FY2024 Q2 Earnings Announcement | OT
We are in a thread of Sony's fiscal report, so obviously people is going to talk here about metrics that measure its performance as it is the case of revenue, profit, console sales, active userbase etc. In this case, the numbers say that Sony had this quarter way more SIE revenue and profit... -
Discussion What really is first party nowadays? Definition of first/second/third party games.
It is not me. The definition of what are the first or third party games of a platform is an industry standard: the games published by the platform holder of a platform are first party, and the ones published there by somebody else are third party. The distinction of first of third party game... -
News Astro Bot haa sold 1.5 million units
I saw a metric that highlights how much people loved the game: 20%+ of the users got the platinum of the base game. For any game, 20% already is great for completing the game itself. Having 20% getting the platinum is awesome news. Means that people loved it, so pretty likely would buy DLC or a...
