So who are you on here advocating on behalf of? The subset of fanatics who have no problem unhinging their jaw so Sony’s upper brass can defecate into their mouths directly?
I would like to believe most people don’t want the same game thrice.
Do you think SIE leadership are imcompetent?
- Thread starter historia
- Start date
I would like to believe most people don’t want the same game thrice.
Why would Sony a billion dollar company cater to the needs of a small handful of niche intrrnet forum users like you?
This logic has been floated on here multiple times and I still don’t understand the reasoning. Are you saying my opinion matters less because I frequent an enthusiast website? Are the masses lower than me in their ability to discern what is and isn’t worthwhile for a sequel?
Again, all I’m asking for is not the same game three times because that approach helps Sony’s bottom line. As a consumer I’m not supposed to be interested in what’s easier for a corporation to shovel out.
Spider-Man 2 is gonna break every Sony 1st Party sales record.
So yes it is worth it. I hope Sony continues making Spiderman sequels.
Personally I’m not a huge fan of Marvel and sandbox games.
Don’t like a game it’s fine. Don’t buy or play it.
But saying Sony shouldn’t make a particular game which you personally don’t like even if it will sell millions is self-centred.
Sony are a business not a charity.

Sony is making billions, millions of people buy and enjoy these games wether people like you, like it or not.
Sony is not going to make a sequel to some obscure hentai game that you want, they will make games that sell like spiderman and marathon
Only Sony games gets criticised for having sequel. Meanwhile clowns are hyping the next cod, elder scrolls halo, gears, doom, forza, and whatever 10th entry if a popular franchise. Bunch of hypocrites. Bo fucking Shame whatsoever
Its hard to imagine how they could be any more competent than they already are
The only real criticisms people here can even argue is that they haven’t rubbed their AAAA single player bellies yet

It was so stupid that I considered it wasn't worth it, and I already wasted enough time with you debunking most of the flaearther topics mentioned there.
But well, if you insist I'll remind you that they didn't shut down Japan Studio but instead they restructured it changing their management and splitting it into two offices:
- Team Asobi: they merged all the Japan Studio internal development teams into one of them, Team Asobi (which already had many team members from Team Ico or Team Gravity etc), and refounded it as studio that now is growing. They are working on a 3D platformer bigger than the previous Team Asobi games.
- XDev Japanese team: they branched out the Japan Studio 2nd party publishing team, the one who published games like Death Stranding or Bloodborne, to a different office that now will be part of the global XDEV team and no longer will report to a local gamedev studio, and now instead of publishing only the 2nd party games of their country they'll handle the 2nd party Asian game publishing (before they only published Japanese games). So with this move they are only repeating exactly the same what the XDEV teams from EU and USA did before. After branching out they published Death Stranding Director's Cut and announced Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, Death Stranding 2, Lost Soul Aside, Convallaria, RAN: Lost Islands, Exiledge, AI-Limit, Daba: Land of Water, Dark Star, The Wind Rising, The God Slayer, Awaken: Astral Blade, Will-less or Evotiction.

To be fair saying JapanStudio got cannes is not really far fetched imo, Ueda, the main director also leaves. But it is fair, since The Last Guardian has a inflating budget and turn out disappointing, Gravity Daze and PocoPoco never really takes off Vita.
Actually Japan Studio kinda already show its efficiency since PS3 era, and when they moved on to PS4 era they turned into support studio.
It is better for Sony to just publish small 2nd party projects that has potential than just use internal team. Also Sony could find replacement for smaller games output, maybe Square Enix? Make use of CBU3? Put those games on subscription service day one for streaming and keep publishing on Nintendo handheld platforms

I wrote a few paragraphs and this dude could only respond to the last sentence
thank you for proving my point !!! If it was as stupid as you say it was then you would be able to address more than a single sentence, but you can't because you know I'm right but refuse to admit it.
Aren't you the same guy who cried after the Sony showcase claiming it was the "end of Sony"
I see Sony tidying up the edges overall such as interplay of IP for media etc, but it's very slow to do so, or to react to gaming-centric evolutions.
Overall the feeling is one of apathy/cautious optimism in face of missed opportunities/mistakes that we do see. Don't tell me Sony's fine, and handwave-away things like TLOU Online development issues etc.
