and they also canceled a bunch of games as well.
he doesn't need to say anything. In terms of leadership....are you forgetting what just happened to Bungie like 2 months ago?
That is a fair point, like I said earlier in this thread, what Colin said isn't a statement of fact and is a rumour. But a lot of us are choosing to believe him based on the merit of he's character, it's highly possible that the information he has received is incorrect, but I don't believe for a second Colin himself is bullshiting about what he has heard. He tends to do he's due diligence when it comes to sources as well.
I don't think Colin is intentionally lying. He's human, like everyone else, and subject to the same errors in judgment. What I suspect happened is that he was approached by a dubious source that appeared credible on the surface. Unfortunately, Colin didn't take the necessary steps to corroborate the story with multiple sources. Given his strong bias against GAAS and his tendency to support speculative narratives—like the claim that 'Jim Ryan was clearly fired'—he's more vulnerable to this type of deception.
I've heard someone online claiming it was 2 billion
the thing is Rockstar will make that money back in like a week
$2bn. 4x more than they next-most-expensive game of all time, Cyberpunk 2077. Genshin Impact, Star Citizen, and Monopoly Go! apparently cost more, but I'm comparing released, traditional games with a single-player story.
Working in the AAA space probably affords you opportunities to work alongside, or interact with producers who have a stronger understanding of game budgets. Does this mean this Del character should be believed with 100% certainty? Of course not. That said, you have to weigh his point of view with Colin Moriartys point of view. Both are human and failable.Why does being a character designer (Del) give you insight into the company's finances
I think he's implying he worked as outsourced contractor and was paid poorly lol That's probably a thing that pisses him off so muchWhy does being a character designer (Del) give you insight into the company's finances
The most worrisome thing is just the belief they had in those characters. Sony needs to clean house of all the tastemakers they have. It's clearly not the same people who made so much good faith from the PS4 first party line up. Now they want to feed their customers an HZD remake? It's just delusional. Sony has a wealth of talent and funding; it just needs to be focused through the right lens. I don't think Hulst is it. Horizon is a fine game but at best I always viewed it as a compromise. Get great tech and very solid gameplay but you have to deal with some aesthetic and story buffoonery. Not something to be the tip of the entertainment spear. Just a fine addition to an otherwise stacked line up like it was on PS4.
Never had heard about the game before the infamous YouTube presentation
To be fair, as amusing as I find this debacle, no one save the internal accounting team can prove anything.
Don't ever run a business with math like that. Here is a few titbits...
At the scale of gaas, it doesn't matter who you are, you could spot a lot of weaknesses within Sony's studios, it didn't happen arbitrarily.
How the F do you get credited as a Professor without actually being a professor? Unless that isn't the infamous Professor?
so.... it's real?
we know the answer:
Yea, I've heard that term thrown around. I have a better term for it that is a classic....in other words it's just plain "BS"
hopefully he makes a podcast. I think a lot of people are missing the bigger picture
Yep, also sheer incompetence on Sony's side. I mean, lol, Hulst tweeted multiple times that the game was great. How out of touch is he to do that?
