Slitterhead Gameplay debunks Japan Studio rants

[Impulse]

Ah yes by chance after chance you mean Sony sending over a top head from Sony Santa Monica to try and fix a Japanese studio and restructure it... Then having them work mostly on VITA while most of those games didn't even touch the western hemisphere and even games that did okay in Japan were kneecapped by the Vita's low install base.

Sending a top head from Santa Monica IS giving them another chance. He had to cancel a ton of projects that weren't going anywhere either.

The studio was simply a complete mess that wouldn't produce games of quality or mass appeal or both. Are they meant to just keep paying them forever?

What does Slitherhead has to do with Sony Japan? No I won't be buying day one nor have you seen me talking about this game, so might wanna try again with a better 'gotcha'...

Literally the topic of the thread is Slitterhead looking awful and justifying the restructuring of the studio into XDEV Japan and Asobi.

The guys who designed this game are all former Japan Studio devs. And it looks like yet another critical and commercial flop.

Maybe that restructuring should have had them not working on the VITA but instead making PS4 games from the very start.

When they happen to make a good PS3 game that should have been a PS4 launch title what did Sony management do? Send it out to die on the PS3 then years later they admitted they made a mistake by not making it be on PS4... And I'm referring to Puppeteer. Instead they prioritized Knack just because Cerny was attached to it .

Tokyo Jungle a game that did fairly well for an AA game, never getting a sequel

Moving Gravity Rush from PS3 to solely on the VITA... Another brilliant move by Sony's upper management

I can keep going but anywho

It was all Sony Japan's Fault... Leadership was perfect
