I always hate hearing tht shit. I respect the Nintendo CEO at one point cutting his pay and other exec pay during cash flow issues.
Lol what are you even saying? What does this have to do with what I said in anyway?
Maybe you responded to the wrong person?
sorry if it wasn't clear, the spirit of the post is not 'where are these specific games'
the point is: why do these teams have nothing to show 5+ years since their last project? not even saying Sucker Punch needs to release something in 2024. We don't officially know what they're working on at all. That is crazy this far into the console cycle.
Are you not arguing "The Perfect Recipe For Success" is making AAA mega budget single player games that can only be played on the Playstation console? I think the point was pretty clear that The Perfect Recipe For Success is not delivering the goods. It hasn't been abandoned by Sony at all. The teams responsible for that recipe just aren't getting it done.

Iwata was a great person. Let’s hope Nintendo doesn't announce layoffs anytime soon, but I doubt it because they are in cost-saving mode all the time.
Why do you assume that it's anywhere close to release?
The project was moved from Lucid Games to Firesprite with a strong possibility that they scrapped all the previous work.
It's also the type of game (Car Combat) that isn't made nowadays, I suspect that trying to figure out what the game should be and who's the audience for it would be particularly difficult for creatives to pinpoint.
Of every GaaS project we've heard was in the works, this was always the one I had the least faith in.

Ive only seen Nintendo layoffs one time and it was a few years ago and not many ppl.
Why develop GaaS titles in secret to begin with? That makes no sense.
Sony seems really scared of cancelling announced games but doesn't mind the PR from closing studios.

@Danja1187 I told you it has nothing to do with VR
London Studios game in development was a gaas co op and Firesprite game in development was a gaas Twisted Metal. Your need to constantly spread anti VR FUD is making you look crazyThey're still selling their console at no price drop, it's clear they're trying to keep profits/margins high in preparation for the upcoming couple of years where profitability will be going down due to shipping a new console/bunch of big games.
Jaffe probably secretly happy that Twisted Metal was cancelled since they didn't call him to direct it.
