Support NeoGAF

[nial]

That's it, that's the thread. It's weekend GAF time! From drones need to let it go already.

BTW, FeralEcho , look at the last post Shu made. Sounds familiar?

WWS America and WWS Europe were the ones that passed on bringing Demon's Souls to their respective regions due to the (seemed) lack of appeal outside of Asia. Shu didn't really force them to do so (because he never worked that way), so stuff remained like that. But it's not like he was actively stopping them from localizing Demon's Souls.

Sounds like Shu and I had a very similar experience.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Shu's one of the relatively few Sony execs who actually understood and liked games. That's from firsthand experience. I don't really feel like he's worth attacking, but it's some random retard on twitter, so it is what it is.

 

[Saber]

Thanks to bring twitter discussions adventures into discussion lol

 

[Represent.]

my personal experience with Demon's Souls, when it was close to final, I spent close to two hours playing it, and after two hours, I was still standing at the beginning at the game." So, he had a conclusion: "This is crap. This is an unbelievably bad game. So I put it aside.

Wow. This is exactly how i feel about from games. Took the words right out of my mouth.

The audacity to say this shit gets me, lmao. It's like those people blaming Hermen Hulst over the PS5 Pro.

 

[EviLore]

He shouldn't bother giving anonymous twitter trolls the time of day as if they're people.

 

[Xaeroxcore666]

Angry from software fans? Or angry eternal 12 years old Sony Ponies, like some usual suspects here on NeoGAF? (probably they´ll come here to make damage control)

I can't really fault him for his opinion, I used to feel the same way. I tried the Souls games and couldn't stand them until Bloodborne came along. That bump in speed was a game changer for me. After that, I revisited the older titles and realized just how wrong I was.

 

[TheDuskwalker]

Shu got one guyed.

Don't feed one guys and there one brain cell.

 

[TexMex]

Not only is he just objectively wrong in some areas (especially in light of a lot of post Sony interviews Shu has done) - even if you don't like all his choices - he's just attacking the most mild mannered, kindest guy of all these insufferable CEO's. And based on his tenure, I can guarantee Shu is responsible for way more things you love from Sony than things you don't.

[Kacho]

I only see one guy. Is this a thing people are actually mad about?

 

[FeralEcho]

Well yeah,I never said otherwise(don't think so at least, it's been a while).

Edit:My opinion on the matter has been that Shu wanted to make up for the Demon's Souls fuckup in the sense that he felt responsible not that he was directly responsible.

The audacity to say this shit gets me, lmao. It's like those people blaming Hermen Hulst over the PS5 Pro.

It's infuriating people like this exist. Putting blame on one person when there are so many decisions in play.

And I understand how you can get that way as I did it myself on ocasions but that's mainly because of hot temper and dissapointment accumulated over the years due to my passion for this medium but I still wouldn't talk to someone like Hulst so disrespectful like that. Like... that's still the guy who contributed to games like Killzone 2 or Horizon Zero Dawn and while I hate his overall leadership of the studios I can still respect the guy and would never talk to a dev or passionate higher up like Shu like that.

Fuck that guy for being so disrespectful.

Edit: I mean the lines about having a shit ass take and that he doesn't know shit.

 

[Doomtrain]

This is why I hate social media. One of its express purposes, by design, is to enable dipshits like that.

I've been seeing this a lot lately after the switch 2 reveal. Childish behavior

That's a pretty hard statement? The likes of Phil Harrison, Tomikazu Kirita, Michael Denny, Scott Rohde, John Rostron, Hermen Hulst, Allan Becker, Shawn Layden, Yasuhide Kobayashi, Fumiya Takeno and, (IMO) most importantly, Akira Sato, have all been directly involved on the creation of great games. Calling all of them something along the lines of soulless executives would be a disservice to their work.

I'd argue that more than a few of them are clueless suits, but here's the thing: For every one of them that you named, there's a litany of execs at Sony with as much or more authority that don't have a goddamn clue or a modicum of interest in gaming. A lot of the guys focused on marketing or biz dev that are higher up in the ranks there? They don't give a shit. It's not a universal rule, but suits definitely rule the day over there.

 

[Loomy]

Imagine meeting him in person at E3 or something and speaking to him like that.

 

[Revolutionary]

Yeah I saw this earlier on my feed and just shook my head. Don't feed the trolls, Shu.

That dude wouldn't have the balls to say anything IRL. People like that only have 'confidence' when they're anonymous and hiding behind a computer screen.

Shu is actually a wholesome guy who platforms indies and a lot of obscure games. Why anyone would want to attack him on X is beyond me.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Twitter is such a shit hole, he shouldn't even bother replying to them. Some could be trolls, sure. But the sad part is that others aren't, they're real, pathetic, and shallow folks. Social media just continues to get worse and worse.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I'll just quote myself from that Dark Souls thread

Souls fans are worse then Sonic fans.

Yoshida actually got added as a bonus playable character in Super Time Force Ultra.

 

[AJUMP23]

Shuhei was respectful. That person didn't deserve a response.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Corpo sounds kinda cool imo. Rhymes with Rambo.

 

[zokie]

Very disrespectful posts directed at Mr Yoshida and this post is the key factor to me blocking this person

 

[Blitzkrieg!]

lol you get the same energy as that troll from half the posters here.

 

[near]

Oh, makes sense now. Just some low life loser who wants attention.
