Bomba in all fronts, damn.

Biggest bomba of all time.

I know it isn't peak time yet, but....

Fire Hulst

 

[Schmendrick]

I wonder if that chick is gonna call herself "the professor" on her job application forms after the studio is gone in a few months.

 

[adamsapple]

How come they don't want me man

"At my last job I made everyone call me "the professor!"

Interviewer: "Thanks for coming, all positions are currently filled but we'll let you know if anything comes up!"

 

[FoxMcChief]

Meanwhile at Sony HQ:

-Call "The Professor". Explanations must be done.

No way. Hulst is probably greenlighting a Horizon hero 5 v 5 shooter, directed by the Professor.

[NeverYouMind]

Makes me sad that Babylon's Fall is in a similar category. I would be curious to see it relaunched as a free to play...

 

[Alebrije]

correct. so, who, exactly, was responsible for allowing it to do so, & are they that same people still in charge? & could that possibly be part of the reason that things that 'should never have happened' will continue to happen?...

First Act : Drop the bomb before I go.

Second Act: Gaas were a mistake

Third Act : Could Batman and Robin save the day?

My god, I would love to be a fly on the wall when she walks into an interview at some respectable company and introduces herself like “hi, I’m nonbinary and my preferred pronouns are Professor or Prof”

“Oh, are you a professor?”

“no.”

Wasted 8 years of the studio life

Damn

[BennyBlanco]

Biggest bomba of all time.

Gonna be hard to top Avengers and Lawbreakers

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

^ lol there’s Dustborn. The player count plummeted by like 20% when Concord launched. I think the Modern Audience is really being split between these two titans.

 

[spartan30gr]

Off to a great start on Steam. #135 best seller, might shatter the 1000 concurrent player mark tonight!!!

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Biggest bomba of all time.

I’d say Halo Infinite is one of them considering the multiplayer is free.

 

[adamsapple]

Let's see if this beats Lawbreaker's all time peak.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

I want to know Men In Boxes deep insight about how this is actually the biggest success story of the century.

Sorry, I'm letting the audience figure out what those comparisons are. One is a recent Sony GaaS title. Shouldn't be hard

Oh sorry

 

[Sgt.Asher]

So what will this sell in total? 20k?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

So what will this sell in total? 20k?

it will be f2p and included with ps plus probably by october

I hope the studio gets rid of all the art designers and woke people and lets some of the talented game designers support Bungie or something

[Hollowpoint5557]

You love to see it lol.

 

[FeralEcho]

Good,let this fucker be the posterchild of shit to nuke all of Sony's garbage gaas plans that they get back to their senses!

Hope it burns to oblivion!

 

[semiconscious]

the people ruling, informing, educating, & entertaining us? they're of us, but they're not us. & it's why they keep getting everything that involves us wrong...

edit: see image above...

 

[Goalus]

professor alone sucked out way higher salary over those 8years of dev time.

They should offer the professor as a playable character.

Game needs an Xbox port asap imho.

 

[Topher]

Fire "Professor" and rename the studio Snowrun. Start over.

Give them Horizon.

 

[Topher]

Give them Horizon.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

And keep this shite away from Xbox too, we are suffering enough in the green household

That is the best option to attract more players. FF14 thrived after a revamp, but that had a massive brand name behind it.
I don't see sony supporting this beyond basic F2p changes. Concord is a poisoned well and a miracle would be needed to bring people in.

Sadly, it’s already on two Xbox platforms.

 

[Negotiator101]

This won't make it past 6 months, absolute shitshow from PS first party.

 

[Physiognomonics]

Fire Hulst

Indeed. What we are witnessing is the real outcome of both Hulst and Ryan's leadership. It was predictable and predicted by many. And it will get worse from there. The last real good playstation games were either released on PS4 and/or driven by decisions from the previous team or luck (buying a passion team who has already done Helldivers 2).

Sony: Oh, Bloodborne? I thought you guys wanted Stillborn, we misheard you.

Good work professor.

 

[MiguelItUp]

100-200M? Where is the evidence of this? That's just a wild ass guess. I am doubtful, given the studio has ZERO proven IP.

Not a weird ass guess at all. I can find where I heard it. I'm pretty sure it was one of SkillUp's recent videos, or a Luke Stephens video about it as I glanced at it. Will report back later as I have stuff to do ATM.

It shouldn't be doubtful at all as Sony purchased them. Considering the amount that they've paid in the past for studios, even the smaller ones, it shouldn't be a shocking number. Especially after they originally dropped 3.6 billion for Bungie. Regardless of the exact sum, it doesn't change the fact that it doesn't really feel like the money was spent well at all.

Don’t know if you’ll be doing the NeoGaf GOTY vote thread for this year as well but we need a “Biggest bomb of the year” category or something for 2024. With Concord, Suicide Squad, Foamstars etc.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Holy shit could it actually peak at below 700 on a Friday launch day?
