PlayStation is “Reevaluating how we operate” due to recent layoffs. Twisted Metal Canceled due to layoffs! |UP| Guerilla loses 10% of its staff.

It’s that why they still keep getting 88 Meta + and still keep being nominated for GOTY awards?

Yeah his post didn't make sense. Those games are selling millions upon millions, even the remasters.

A twisted metal gaas game would have failed anyway. Why does sony keep trying to bring back this ip. They tried twice already before. They should work on the jrpg ips like legend of dragooon. Would have more success.

I don't know, it could fill the itch rocket league has, in a different way. However, we'll never know.

all the opposite.

the "sony game formula" has lost its luster
they are borderline ubisoft-esque in the way the approach their design.

Which Sony formula?

God of War - Last of Us - Ghost of Tsushima - GT - Helldivers 2 - Returnal, these are nothing alike.

Meanwhile Watch Dogs - Assassins Creed - Far Cry are essentially the same game.

 

[Papacheeks]

Damn, why cancel it when its probably closer to release?

Another TV show wasted. (TLOU tv series was gonna boost TLOU Factions 2)

Because it was live-service meaning you need to keep a good amount of people on staff working on that title. If it wasn't internally looked at as anything stellar then thats why they are canning it.

I think Helldivers 2 shows them their path forward. SAME WITH Ghosts of Tsushima raid mode. I think they expanded too much and that on top of studio budgets being too large caused this.

even accepting your premise, Legend of Dragoon is the franchise people are waiting for? why not Kingdom of Paradise? why not White Knight Chronicles?

[ethomaz]

go ahead and say that, don't act like it's the missing piece that's gonna bury this whole live service trend. i want a new Pursuit Force for the PS5, but that's just kind of a me thing.

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.

Iwata taking that pay cut had nothing to do with actually making ends meet, it was about investor confidence and getting them to let him continue running the company. These layoffs clearly are about maintaining profitability. We can basically tell that from the stuff that leaked out of Insomniac.
