Post where you got that budget from and I'll admit I'm wrongAre you really mad at me because I’m stating pure facts?I thought you were better than that

The peak will be stuck at around 460k because the servers can't handle more. Fallout 4 and COD were so close 
its a highly accurate educated guess, trust me bro! I'm never wrong so theres no need for insults
As long as it's a good game I don't see why not. It could come September. But I think once the game is good it shouldn't matter when it comes.
It'll likely crash through them this weekend.The peak will be stuck at around 460k because the servers can't handle more. Fallout 4 and COD were so close
Jim didn't cancel it, so it's definitely his game
I highly doubt they'll be able to squeeze much more server cap without a more fundamental rewrite of the backend code. Right now they just optimized what was already there to reduce how much data was being sent per client and probably how the database receives its data.
Man. Fucking mental gymnastics to make excuses for failure.Destruction all stars was a Sony published gaas game, how does it not count?
Factions 2 is 4 years over 200m down the toilet, how is that not an objective failure? Neil even went up on stage to brag about it
Spider-man multiplayer game never left the concept stage, trying to put it in the same category as Factions 2 is disingenuous!
It is obvious failure. From trying to produce a game till financial debt. It is one huge failure.
They failed produce a game, they failed get returns.

Funny you say that I had a few Koreans that joined me yesterday and it was the first time I'd seen that in quick play.Helldivers is now at 437k so it's higher than Apex today's peak. I guess Apex is bigger in China/Korea like PubG and CounterStrike because it's low during USA time (155k) and Helldivers is highest at night in USA.
Soon the chinese will discover the joy of Helldivers and they will ditch the old outdated rubbish
It's doing rather well in Korea
Regular Edition - #1
Deluxe Edition - #7
Not as well as EU/NA(relative to other games on the store) but still pretty good.
You can't make this up lmfao. Everything bad Jim, Everything good kaz. This place sometimes
Explains all the quick Remasters to try and keep the studio from getting the Sony Santa Monica 2015 treatment of getting half the studio wiped out after they got their game cancelled.
Exactly! Kaz built up PlayStation and oversaw creativity and Jim weakened our brand and ruined PlayStation Studios pipeline and gave us Destruction Allstars
Publishers have been using remakes and remasters in recent years to fill in the gaps while they wait for creatives to find out Direction of their new project.
In Naughty Dog's case, it was just a matter of having a sizable amount of staff that were not being used due the new IP still being in pre-production and Neil not having a concrete idea where to go next with TLoU Part III.
It's generally bad planning/business to have talent not doing anything for a couple months.
Actually it was reported it was mostly new staffers that were put on these Remasters to get familiar with the hardware. The quick Remasters definitely was more of them try to stay too far out of the red given what eventually happened. Just my assumption still but It adds up.

Not the hardware, PS4 and PS5 are very similar from an architecture point of view and most of the work related to optimizing for that would be done via the long tenured engineers at Naughty Dog(y'know, those building up the tools and tech for their proprietary engine), not the low level talent. They don't engage with that at a granular level.
The new talent would be trying to get familiar with the engine.
You can be sure that in their hiring spree, a lot of new talent would've had to get onboarded to ND's engine while working on Factions 2.
The difference between Factions 2 and the new IP did not need fresh talent, it was not far along to get a bunch of new hires in the mix.
Where do you send new staff that isn't going to the Factions 2 team but isn't yet needed on the new IP that is going through the prototype/conceptual phase/pre-production? Yep, you send them towards Remakes/Remasters.
Yesterday I kept crashing either loading the map or returning from a successful mission(which hür helluva lot more) so I stopped playing for the weekend. I think CCU would be a lot higher if there were no crashes and the cap was increased because there were a lot of posts on Discord sharing similar posts about crashes. It will continue snowballing once they are close to fixing the server issues.
Nothing wrong with remakes and remasters, plenty of people will buy FF7RR whom wasn't even alive in that time etc..
I think I’m mostly done with this too. Not too crazy about it. Glad people are enjoying it but I sorta don’t intend to stick around as a hardcore player. I got nothing bad to say… just think the gameplay loop is repetitive after one game and the resource scrounging hurts pacing and is not something I’m motivated to do at all.
Absolutely, the whole industry wouldn't be doing them if they were not extremely lucrative but also help in bridging the gaps between new ideas.
Big publishers can move staff and form new teams around a Creative Director/Producer having a pitch approved.
But singular studios can't really do that, Sometimes it will take a while for a game idea to manifest itself fully.
500,000+ CCU incoming today. May even be near 550,000.
