Support NeoGAF

[FeralEcho]

Sorry it smells like that to you, pal.

Reality is, I made a video for my paying members that gave them a little more info but nothing massive because- again- it's not my story to break.

The video for members tho is one way (of many, I'd like to think) I give people something extra for being a member on the channel. There's no ulterior motive; I WANTED them to get something extra because they support the channel w/their ducats. That's kinda how it works, you know?

Hey man,totally unrelated to the topic at hand but I'd just like to say Thank You, for creating one of my favourite characters and franchises in gaming.Even though I don't really agree or enjoy much of what the series has become nowadays what you,Cory and the teams at SSM did at the time with the first two games was pure magical and I'll always cherish those experiences so Thank You!

Guys I'm very important and I still have lots of connections, I'm not just some washed has-been who smokes weed and plays video games on story mode on streams that nobody watches! I have very important and distressing news! Not for you, my peasant follower, but I have it, because I'm very important.

Rule #1 is to not listen to David Jaffe especially when he's trying to get you to pay for something:

Dude has clearly found his "in" to get clicks and it's whatever this crap is.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

I think a few people were let go from Visual Arts. But let's see if it's anything actually big or just some clickbait news.

All I know is that Jaffe has a tendency to exaggerate.

But you never know, maybe it has to do with Jim Ryan leaving without a replacement.

 

[nial]

You must not have any or have ever had any if you think it's something to enjoy.

I tweet shit that's on my mind; that's what it's for.

It's getting old, all you cynical folks always thinking there's always another agenda.

Perhaps it makes sense, esp if you are under the age of 40. It's how society raised you. I don't blame you. I wouldn't trust shit either, if I had to deal with what that gen has. That said tho, I'm just tweeting, man. That's all it is.

lots of words for practically saying nothing, hmm...

Especially exaggerate about PlayStation. He will deny it but he holds some deep psychological regret for PlayStation and every bad news about PlayStation is super bad and bad news about Xbox is just fine

He's not leaving until March of next year. That's impossible unless they just do nothing from now until then, which makes no sense.

God, I'm so tired of so many gamers on the internet.

It's an almost constant firehouse of snark and pricks.

Goodbye.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Friendly reminder that Jaffe is a sad nobody these days and his clickbait attempts hardly worth 4 pages of discussions.

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

I forgot he posts here... I would have been slightly nicer. But the hah-hah I know a thing and you don't, guess you'll find out tomorrow energy is just obnoxious.

Oi, before you storm off! Thanks for Twisted Metal on the PS1. Good times!

 

[Kurimao]

Sony selling Jaffe's God of War to Microsoft!

lol just say what you have to say. This is some tabloid crap baiting.

You can't be annoyed at gamers because you are yet again baiting a nothing burger.

KNACK 3 has been canceled.

 

[alucard0712_rus]

Microsoft buying Sony.

And Nintendo. We done.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

If I had to guess I'd say:
A first party game developed by a studio lead by a big industry name is being cancelled and there will be layoffs, probably a studio working on a GAAS.

And the sad part might be that they've been working on it for years and it ended up being canned. Just my 2 cents.

 

[bender]

Sounds like someone with a long tenure is getting replaced. Layoffs could be part of it too, but layoffs alone wouldn't equate to disrespectful.

 

[Tomi]

Tlou 3 canceled?
:/

 

[Auto_aim1]

Buying Bungie was a disaster. Why is Jaffe playing around?

 

[Lunarorbit]

Holy shit. Some of you are such dicks. It's embarrassing to see some of the responses on here.

Jaffee is telling us that it's not his story to break. Whenever someone scoops a journalists story they get shit on cause that person has presumably vetted sources that took time and energy to track down.

Devs and other insiders won't talk to jaffee if he tells you everything. The author of this story told him off record so he cant just tell us.

Remember schreier getting blacklisted from companies when he worked at kotaku cause he leaked fallout?

Grow the fuck up people

 

[StealthGoblin]

So if it's a big big name with a team, then that only leaves a handful of people.

Shuhei Yoshida
Cory Barlog
Jade Raymond
Kaz Yamauchi
Nicolas Doucet

Anyone else and they aren't a name with a team. If could be a smaller team but then the name that is attached to them is minor league and wouldn't be a big deal to almost anyone.

How has Bungie been a disaster?

Or we can act as a grown-ups and just look a his recent history with insides and other type of information. I know that internet has a memory span of a goldfish, but Jaffe ramblings are usually terrifically blown out of proportion.

For real

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Update:

99% chance of it being a bunch of nothing.

They haven't ported Halo to PlayStation yet. Duh!

 

[Hendog1981]

Sony porting The Last of Us Part 1 and Part 2 to Xbox Consoles in exchange for Microsoft porting Starfield onto PS5

 

[MidGenRefresh]

They're dropping all support for PSVR2, right

 

[White-fire]

I suppose lol. Still no Master Chief Collection, shame on them!

 

[Lunarorbit]

Thats a completely reasonable take. But lots of posters here resorted to name calling as soon as davidjaffe showed up.

There's a reason Karak and other insiders/devs/reviewers don't post here anymore

 

[FoxMcChief]

VR2 is dead.

 

[StealthGoblin]

They're dropping all support for PSVR2, right

I'd feel bad for a lot of people but that makes a ton of sense. It's not taken off and wasn't supported properly anyway.

And in the coming years Sony will need it's development teams working on its main thrust, not on peripherals.

 

[DenchDeckard]

With how he puts it, it's making out that they are giving shuhei the boot or something. That's all I can think, but there's no way a Japanese company does that.

Probably, a full studio closure which they have bought?

 

[L*][*N*K]

October they laid off loU multiplayer developers/contractors. But this could be bigger

Yeah I don't know why the direction of this post's predictions gone with is "ND is doomed", I doubt they will do anything to that team it is their top dog after all.

Based on the tweets it is going to be business as usual, I doubt this is going to make any difference and if there are people being laid off the Game Industry is hot as fuck and those people will land a new job really soon.

 

[Fabieter]

All gaas games are cancelled and all devs can make sp games?

 

[Whitecrow]

Someone at Sony getting MeToo'd?

 

[demigod]

Really. In what universe is media molecule shutting down garner this reaction from jaffee. They were given a ton of rope and failed extraordinarily.

The way this is written it sounds like a sex scandal involving one of the heads of a ps studio.

JR filling up JR.

 

[Thief1987]

Is the news drops before bloodborne remaster or after?

 

[L*][*N*K]

All gaas games are cancelled and all devs can make sp games?

And you will see the first trailer for their new games in 2028, that sounds like a great plan.

I will take the hit

 

[Rentahamster]

Bobby taking over Sony Global my body is ready.

Spoiler

no it's not

Spoiler

URnotE

 

[White-fire]

Why would you want Sony to only make single players games in the light of Microsoft owning Activision and Bethesda?

How is that smart, and why would they stop trying to address weaknesses and expand their consumer base?

 

[Lunarorbit]

In stunning news Playstation has bought Konami.

As part of the deal Kojima has been hired back... only to be fired by Konami execs the next day from a steam room in one of their fitness centers as per the deal.

 

[K2D]

Everyone at SIE over the age of 45 are euthanized.

 

[geary]

Welcome to 2024.....

This is the only thing i can think about that is actually harming for the PS brand on long term....
The others possibilities mentioned are too small to make a dent in the brand...

Thanks for God of War dude!

Media Molecule should be closed if we're being honest. About a decade on a nothing project - a game creation engine that didn't even release on PC.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Sony probably cutting Shu, his team, and his budget to work with indie studios.

Pretty obvious from his tweets that's likely what it is. I love Shu, but it wouldn't change much. It's an insignificant driver of their business

Of course Jaffe is overly dramatic about it.

 

[TransTrender]

Dreams is great but it's too little too late, unfortunately.

MM helps sony with tech stuff too and they are really small on top of the one really profitable franchise they did.
