PlayStation Plus users will get early access to Concords beta starting tommorow

By shipping products on a regular basis when he ran GG studios. People on here really some are clueless. Videogames are an entertainment business. You can invest money into making something and can it a year or two later if things are not meeting milestones/quality.

That’s why Sony is as big as they are when it comes to games anyway.

Hurst, yoshida, barlog, among many others know when to pull the plug. Not everything you greenlite pans out. That’s what management is for. The fact we are getting a more combat bananas focused sequel to Death stranding is telling on PlayStation relationship with kojima productions.

Hurst is one of the big reasons currently for kojima taking another stab at successor to metal gear franchise.

Deviation was started with intentions of a good shooter. Looks like out of all the things being managed Jason bundell didn’t like the game they were trying to make. So he left, more than likely pitched his vision to Herman and higher ups at Sony. Or better yet they had a rough build of something that must have impressed. Because they are secretly working on a game directly under PlayStation. So it must have been more proofed.

Sony didn’t lose a lot out of that deal. Because of Herman checking in on projects like you are supposed to do they intervene early. Instead of wasting millions for another 2-3 years on something that was not coming together.

Its like people have no clue on how many games/ideas get canned on a year to year basis.

What are you on about? He ran GG studios and Killzone flopped....he finally got 1 hit game with Horizon and that instantly makes him worthy of becoming Head of PS studios and CEO? Your comment makes no sense at all, I'm not the clueless one. If it was about shipping products on a regular basis, there are way more people who are far more qualified than Hulst.

Since taking over PS studios in 2019, he has nothing to show for it. Nothing but cancelled live service games and finally Concord, which is dead on arrival, and SHOULD'VE been cancelled. All the games we've got this gen have been from Shuhei's tenure as head of Worldwide Studios and now even as the "indie guy" he's still 100x more productive than Hulst

I really wonder what you do for a living.

Herman Hulst achievements

• Killzone 2 was a technical masterclass on PS3
• Herman found Nixxes and pretty much every PC port they've made for Sony has been well-received
• Herman created an original IP that has sold over 32 million units since 2017
  • This might make it the fastest-selling original IP for Sony since Gran Turismo
• Herman's team created Decima which is probably the most successful game engine Sony has created
• Herman's relationship has helped bring in Kojima for 3 games
  • Death Stranding has over 16 million players
• Herman partnered with Studio Gobo for Lego Horizon which looks stunning
• He has helped start a pivot towards more sustainable endeavors

When it comes to the technical aspects of the job, the creative aspects of the job, and the managerial aspects of the job, Herman is doing a really good job.

To say that all the games we've gotten from this gen are from Shuhei shows how clearly biased you are. Herman took over in 2019. Any game in development for 4-5+ years would have been started under Herman, not Shuhei. Not to mention you like to complain about the games released, but credit those complaints to Herman over Shuhei... You'll somehow credit Shuehi with Astrobot.

You want to have your cake and eat it too. I'm just surprised you don't get tired of complaining all day every day, but the trolls on this site are all attention seeking.

 

[Would_you_kindly]

Would you kindly stop crying?

If I want the opinion of someone who is complaining he can't wank to characters in a video game, I'll ask you for it. Until then,

You've spent the last while complaining for no reason. I gave my thoughts on a video game in a video game forum. You are complaining and praying a game is shit in spite of the evidence of people who played it being positive about the game.

When did mention wanting to wank over a game ?

Sony is wrong. Jahgamer is right.

which person do you think is more qualified to run a multi billion dollar business, someone with this resume or professional hater and armchair analyst @JAHGamer

One thing I’ve always found odd in these spaces is the emphasis on these executives. It’s corny as hell imo, you look like you know absolutely nothing on how business works 99% of the time. You being a triple G gamer does not make you a businessman.

We are talking about pushing out quality products. Killzone series were not all made equal but for the most part they were fairly polished and came out on time. Herman was able to manage Killzone shadowfall, that released in 2013 and development of Horizon which started in 2011. They were able to meet milestones and keep budgets at the time in check in a geograophical place thats expensive to run studios.

This is why he's a manager. Guy knows how to manage projects/studios knows how to sign deals with games like stellar blade.

Sorry his streak so far is really good hence why he was promoted multiple times.

lmao, a bunch of superficial credits without any actual involvement Jim Ryan is credited in a bunch of games too and he was just as worthless as Hermen

No mate.

We are talking about pushing out quality products. Killzone series were not all made equal but for the most part they were fairly polished and came out on time. Herman was able to manage Killzone shadowfall, that released in 2013 and development of Horizon which started in 2011. They were able to meet milestones and keep budgets at the time in check in a geograophical place thats expensive to run studios.

Educate yourself:

"Hermen brought to Guerrilla more than 8 years of business strategy and management experience. His first experience with the games industry he gained as a marketeer at Ubi Soft USA in 1995. From there he moved on to develop his business skills at companies including Philips Electronics and Andersen Consulting. Hermen was appointed Managing Director of Guerrilla in July 2001. He is responsible for financial, HR, marketing and strategic matters."

If we are going to argue that Herman is great as CEO based on this then even Phil Spencer is on the credits of Halo 1, 2 and 3........ Just saying , even the moron Yves is credited in the original assassin's creed, splinter cell and PoP sands of time

this guy is a jokester literally no one puts any stock in those goofy honorary credits.

 

[quest4441]

goofy honorary credits.

Credits shouldn't determine business acumen as we can see Phil Spencer too in all the original Halo credits.

I have no hate for Herman, the guy seems like a stand up dude but I don't like the direction he seems to want to take PS in, I don't mind the pc ports per se if they can guarantee the quality of their launches and not dilute the console.

The report card for him will come for him in the next 2 years and we will see if his vision pans out but as of now I am betting against him as I don't see Concord or Fairgames panning out. People here don't understand the brand damage massive flops like these will do, we can look at xbox for results.

 

[mibu no ookami]

No mate.

Jahgamer knows better than Sony about Hermen Hulsts credentials.

Sony is wrong. Jahgamer is right.

So many people take for granted the success Sony has had over the last 30 years as if they just lucked into things. They're nostalgic over the past while ignoring the current market.

Somehow selling 30+ million copies of the Horizon franchise was a complete fluke. Meanwhile, they'll beat the drums of success for Stellar Blade selling 1 million copies... You can't make this up.

These doomers need to take a step out of themselves and take a look at the bigger picture.

If Concord fails, Sony isn't going to cancel Fairgames. They're probably not going to close Firewalk. And they certainly aren't going to give up GaaS.

Yeah and without surprise you'll give him no credit for Astrobot...

Concord and Fairgames don't need to pan out. When Sony first announced they were going to do 12 GaaS games do you know what most people said? They only needed to hit on one of them. They hit on their first one out of the gate. They're not doing 12 anymore, but they don't need each one to be successful.

Releasing an unsuccessful game doesn't do brand damage. Releasing bad games does. I don't think Concord is going to review poorly and Firewalk will work on another game. It's technically very competent from what I can see.

 

[CrackmanNL]

I think they are scared that PS is going to have a selection of good succesful MP titles actually + you kinda look moronic when you have been touting that GaaS is the end of PS and Helldivers 2 becomes a massive seller as well as Bungie being over and turns out Final Shape was received extremely well, so the logic is double down on the hate for this one.

Are we really discussing Hermen's credentials? His studio has delivered and pushed every PS hardware with their games from actually reaching that CGI trailer on PS3 to Mercenaries on Vita to Horizon on PS4. Acting like Killzone wasn't a flagship title shown on new hardware or Horizon is not one of the biggest franchises of PS? Decima is not a state of the art engine? Or deny that he has a good footing with industry leading devs within and outside of PS studios? New low. And these same guys were asking for a gamer, y'all are miserable in my eyes, get it together.

Someone with a brain gets it.

I ask @JAHGamer regardless of the type of title, has quality in the final product decreased or increased?

I would argue its gone up and at a higher consistency. Returnal, Demons souls remake, Sackboy, Astrobot, Ratchet, God of war Ragnorak, second/third party titles Stellar blade, Death stranding, Spiderman Miles, spiderman 2, helldivers 2. The games may not be everyones cup of tea or hit like maybe people want them too. But in terms of reception, critical acclaim and sales. They are making more money this gen than the previous gen.

higher volumes at faster clips of their first party are doing well. Minus something niche like Returnal.

If Astrobot is game of the year this year, or runner up, and lego Horizon does well, I think it speaks to herman's leadership on a managment level of studios which was his position while Jim was CEO.

He probably had zero input in most of those games.
Best way is to check the output compared to other head of PS studios.

Doesnt even know which way a PS5 is meant to be, sure knows gaming….


If people spent time with Studios, they’d know alot of the people come from different jobs, have zero or little experience with video games. Some of them dont even game. Theres plenty times Ive been testing and outside of the actual hands on developers, alot of staff dont game, especially nowhere near actual gamers

Aja Wilson who is going to be on the cover of NBA 2K said in an interview recently that she doesn't even game, but is excited about being on the cover so she might have to start gaming.

That's what these marketing opportunities are about.

You can be manager or be involved in something you have nothing to do with hands on, but if you're good at your job you can be successful. You should know what you're talking about but you don't need to be a subject matter expert either.

It takes a lot of people to make a successful game. Just because you're a good writer, doesn't mean you can do level design or character design. Just because you're a programmer, doesn't mean you know how to do marketing.

A lot of gamers don't work professional jobs and so they don't realize that and ironically they'll diminish the role some people play in having a successful business or endeavor.

Ken Kutaragi had a ton of success with PS1 and PS2 and the PS3 started as a massive failure. Why? Because the decisions you make in the past don't guarantee good decisions in the future. The irony is that if Sony hadn't tried to hard to please core fans with the PS3 being able to run PS1 and PS2 games, it might have been cheaper and as a result more successful. These same fans will bark that Sony needs to spend time working on PS3 emulation like their business depends on it.
