[GrayChild]

And if so, will you apologize to the greatest leader Sony ever had?

 

[LectureMaster]

Eww, seriously? No need to be this hyperbolic, the game was probably greenlit when Jim was in charge.

 

[yogaflame]

Wait for TGS to finish

 

[kiphalfton]

Wait for TGS to finish

You gonna edge that long. Damn.

 

[HRK69]

No Bloodborne, no party

 

[GHG]

He needs to bring Concord back to prove he isn't bending the knee to a vocal minority of gamers that is determined to only accept games released with a singular character type.

We need to save gaming as we know it.

 

[Katajx]

No. I’m sure he has had his hand in a lot of the recent failures, and I’m not sure he understands what went wrong.

 

[Three]

He isn't GOAT but hes alright by my books. People give him too much unwarranted shit.

 

[Bernardougf]

Well his the guy leading the girl boss charge... thats for sure.

 

[digital_ghost]

NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt , Danjin44 and Thick Thighs Save Lives should be in charge.
They will lead Sony to a new golden age of jrpgs. Starting with Legend of the dragoon remake and Xenogears remasters.

Also buying the ip of lost odyssey from ms and make a sequel.

 

[nial]

He's been good so far outside of Concord.
Helldivers 2, Rise of the Ronin, Stellar Blade, Astro Bot, Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei is a good lineup in my book.

 

[Topher]

I'm putting my faith in Sucker Punch. Don't give a shit about Hulst

 

[ByWatterson]

 

[Icymanipulator]

Concord should come back as first officially licensed AO rated game on PlayStation.

 

[Chechack]

Days Gone remastered where tho

 

[nial]

Eww, seriously? No need to be this hyperbolic, the game was probably greenlit when Jim was in charge.

Jim Ryan wasn't exactly the one actively greenlighting this stuff, though. That's what Hermen Hulst's job is all about.
Maybe one final say or something as he was the CEO of the company, but nothing too substantial.

 

[Perrott]

Eww, seriously? No need to be this hyperbolic, the game was probably greenlit when Jim was in charge.

You mean when Hermen was already in charge? It was him who saw the release of Ghost of Tsushima and the whole development so far of its successor while in the role of head of PlayStation Studios.

Jim Ryan did not greenlight any games, that's not a CEO's job. His closest real imput into anything game development adjacent was to make the company-wide strategic call to double down on the live-service initiative that began when Shawn Layden greenlit The Last Of Us Online, Helldivers 2, Concord, Predator: Hunting Grounds and Destruction AllStars during his tenure as president of Worldwide Studios.

 

[Beechos]

Ehh we all knew this was coming just crossing my fingers it doesn't turn out like the forgettable horizon sequel.

 

[Toons]

Ehh we all knew this was coming just crossing my fingers it doesn't turn out like the forgettable horizon sequel.

Sony is crossing their fingers that it does.

 

[Moriarty1889]

When he brings back Killzone I will be impressed. Sony NEEDS a first person shooter and has for a while now. I don’t know why it’s so hard for them to other bring one back or make a new one.

 

[nial]

He isn't GOAT but hes alright by my books. People give him too much unwarranted shit.

It's fair to ask what went wrong with Concord, but then no one is willing to give him any credit for all the other good games Sony has produced under his tenure.
The way people here were trying to dismiss his role on the creation of Astro Bot was something else; "It was made IN SPITE of him!" Lmao, fuck off right now.

 

[Beechos]

Sony is crossing their fingers that it does.

I hope not didn't the 1st one sell over 13 million 8.4 would be a big drop off.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

my ultimatum ends on the 30th of December....after that, I will burn my Shrine to daddy boss Hermen.

 

[TropicanaTwista]

He isn't GOAT but hes alright by my books. People give him too much unwarranted shit.

Pretty much this. People are way too hyperbolic about him. He's barely been in charge that long to see if he will be successful or not. Thought he did a pretty solid job overall with GG.

 

[Vick]

Absolutely fucking not.

I hope not didn't the 1st one sell over 13 million

25 actually..

Edit:

Oh, guess you mean first GoT and not Horizon.

 

[Toons]

I hope not didn't the 1st one sell over 13 million 8.4 would be a big drop off.

I dont think those are lifetime numbers for 2.

But sony would take that number anyways.

 

[kaizenkko]

Jimbo will always be the number one!

 

[marquimvfs]

Pool missed the only right answer, that would be:

No. Kaz Hirai GOAT.

 

[Optimus Lime]

Sony is a faceless, bloodless, predatory corporation. There is no 'guy' there for you. These people are not your friends. They are not mascots, they are hollow men who should be treated with extreme suspicion.

/ourguy/ is a 4chan meme.

 

[Toons]

/ourguy/ is a 4chan meme.

That makes it even worse

 

[Sanepar]

Show 10 more aaa sp games this gen. 4 from new franchises and 1 being bloodborne 2 and we can talk.

 

[Vick]

Jimbo will always be the number one!

Kutaragi, Kaz and House.. that was a PlayStation to love.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I think for many gamers we're done having a "guy" none of them are really relatable.

 

[Hoddi]

If he brought Concord back from the grave then he would genuinely deserve an award for that. Lame character designs aside, it wasn't a truly bad game and I still think it could be fixed if they had the guts to do it properly.

Remember when games had gibs? It would totally change the game and nevermind bloody fatalities.

 

[Optimus Lime]

/ourguy/ is a 4chan meme.

Yes, I know. A really, really stupid one.

 

[StereoVsn]

Meh, of course they didn't continue with Jin as a protagonist. I am disappointed, but we'll see how the new game turns out.

 

[FoxMcChief]

What the fuck are those choices.

 

[digital_ghost]

Concord should come back as first officially licensed AO rated game on PlayStation.

Making concord a porn game might strike a cord with the pornhub community.

 

[Fake]

Are you joking?

Just because one game? Have you already forgot Concord fiasco?

What about Horizon Zero Dawn remaster? Is that the new game you have be asking for?

 

[xanaum]

I'm not sure, but I have a slight feeling that GOY didn't start development under his leadership.

I still think he needs to retire and go live on his yacht ASAP.

 

[GHound]

NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt , Danjin44 and Thick Thighs Save Lives should be in charge.
They will lead Sony to a new golden age of jrpgs. Starting with Legend of the dragoon remake and Xenogears remasters.

Also buying the ip of lost odyssey from ms and make a sequel.

The only logical choice isn't even on the poll.

 

[EDMIX]

Meh, of course they didn't continue with Jin as a protagonist. I am disappointed, but we'll see how the new game turns out.

I mean, why stay locked to something limited with that?

You can see how much they love Edo period with a lot of the choices they made with Ghost 1, so it was kinda obvious they would move on

I'm not sure, but I have a slight feeling that GOY didn't start development under his leadership.

I still think he needs to retire and go live on his yacht ASAP.

lol so it begins

 

[Beechos]

I dont think those are lifetime numbers for 2.

Yotei is going to sell a ton no matter what.

 

[nial]

November 2019: Hermen Hulst becomes president of SIE WWS.
July 2020: Ghost of Tsushima gets released.

 

[nial]

I cannot wait to see Angry Megalodon's take here.

 

[EDMIX]

Are you joking?

Just because one game? Have you already forgot Concord fiasco?

What about Horizon Zero Dawn remaster? Is that the new game you have be asking for?

I mean, if you'll hate someone for 1 bad game, why the fuck are you shocked the opposite can occur with 1 good game?

I mean, shit didn't you think this through?

What about Horizon? They've been doing ports and remasters for decades, you are not fucking talking about this new wild idea and why would anyone be mad about that anyway?


Mad the publisher is making money? lol

So to get that "new game" you still fucking need money man, Horizon 3 will still take time and I doubt any of that development was altered as NIXXES is making this remaster, NOT 100% of GG

Thats like fucking thinking GTAVI will be delayed cause of that Trilogy remasters as if Grove Street Games is Rockstar North or something lol

Like (OMG WOOOOW how dare they make money bbq)

I cannot wait to see Angry Megalodon's take here.

Trust me, they are working on some angle on how they want to approach the main character lol

Thank you. I'm curious to see how this unfolds now.

He spearheaded a 400 million dollar disaster, I’d say the criticism is warranted lol.
