3,6B for Bungie + 400 million from Concord = 4B dollars, now imagine Twisted Metal, The Last Of Us Factions and more GAAs games that were cancelled
Apparently Concord Cost Sony 400 million and was internally championed as future of playstation
- Thread starter quest4441
- Start date
*edit:
400 million sounds like bull
I want to see some official documentation or that's cap
400 million probably includes the acquisition cost of Firewalk.
Connie Booth took the L because of Hermen, a woman who worked for PlayStation for more than 30 years and supervised some of the best games in the history of the gaming industry, who took her place? another Guerrilla employee, doesn't that seem strange to you?
They should fire hermen or demote him if it's true that he championed this game internally, I told you he has no eye for quality in gaas.
For that horrendous milestone herman hulst is officially worse than phil spencer but maybe thats a conversation for another day
Again, the 400 million number seems made up. That'd be their most expensive game to date, bigger than Spiderman or GoW. It makes no sense.
Doesn't really matter. Sinking even 200 million is a massive issue. If it's true that the game was seen as the "future of PS" then PS is creatively bankrupt.
Someone saw that game and decided to release it. And then we wonder why they're not showing anything. PS management needs cleaning up. Hope Hermen gets the boot soon. Let's get Ted Price in there. He runs the best studio PS has now.

No wonder we get the deluge of Borizon, The game is an industry plant from Herman
Well it’s bullshit then.
What the hell was the 400 million spent on.
These guys just keep getting numbers out of their asses.
First 200 then 250 now 400.
Next it will 500 million.
I thinking of that at first, yes. But also, he stated that at the end of video, i don't believe it.
Obviously 400 million is bullshit.
Even the 200 million is nonsense.
Just a made up number to show how much money was lost.
We will nowhere know unless a leak happens.!
so you're telling you know better than a person working for the studio? cause that's exactly who Colin spoke with, i've told you guys, the investment in Concord showed Sony had a lot of confidence on this project, Limited Edition Controller, cinematics made EVERY WEEK, even a special episode on an Amazon TV Show, how much do you think that costs?
just to make the cinematics every week that they were planning... a lot of money needs to be invested for that...

Bro they released a controller, had animated shows on amazon lined up. They even acquired the studio before game was launched. This lines up with him stating that Sony thought about Concord as their own star wars, This explains the nickle and diming of ps plus and the stands as well, They even cancelled factions 2
For gaas game developer has to provide an extensive range of servers and network connectivity that require constant maintenance and that can cost alot
Unlike single player game that done and dusted after player finished the game with maybe a few minor patches here and there that doesnt cost as much
Here's the thing. With all that's happening, Sony clearly lost their edge. Remember when PS acquired a studio, you knew they'd make bangers? Because Sony knew how to pick winners?
They lost that edge.
This whole GaaS push will probably set them back years. It's just so incredibly baffling how they went from what they did to this completely new strategy that sees studios not announcing anything in over 4 years.
If we don't get a major showcase by the end of the year, showing what all of their studios are working on, they have major issues.
