Sure why not, lots of their games are very cinematic already. I have no interest in playing cinematic games but would watch a good show about them.
Playstation first party games have been Press X to Jason for the past 10 years anyway.
I started God of War 2018 on PS5 a few days ago and bursted out laughing when the "Press X to jump over chasms" came. In a fucking action game.
LOL Subpar to bad gameplay compared to what??And generic tropey Hollywood writing and stories to match with subpar to bad gameplay.
You're absolutely right.
Made out of nothing??!!?!!?One of my favourite shows of all time is Chernobyl. That was made out of basically nothing.
Their games have a lot of material to work with.
Only issue is they will likely be average and I have way too much outstanding stuff on watchlist with not enough time. So I think it will be waste of their resources.
It's called PlayStation not WatchStation
Sony can't make good movie even with Disney IPs without external help. Spiderman movies were so bad that Marvel had to start producing movies for them so they would stop damaging Spiderman brand. I'm seriously expecting Doom and Mortal Kombat level movies from them at best.Multimedia has been the way of things in AAA gaming for awhile. The graphic novels, the toy merchandising, the web series, etc. EA sort of set the pace on that one by turning all of their games (even "smaller" ones like Dead Space) into a multimedia franchise.
Sony holds a lot of movies, shows, and assets to make more. Since broadcast TV is on life support, it makes sense to move more into that territory.
The big mistake would be for Sony to attempt their own streaming app/brand (again) instead of shacking up with one of the big providers. I don't want five different Sony apps for music, movies, anime, streaming, etc that all run worse than the popular apps. This is likely the way they'll go, unfortunately.
watch you favorite characters get brutally murdered and desecrated in stunning 4k!I don't think Naughty Dog got that memo.
Not new news but hear it from Jimbo himself.
Imo SCE planned shows based on already storytelling heavy games, are a waste of money. Would prefer they invest in SCEJ or buy out some studios like Kojipro or pour more money to make psnow competitive
Sure the idea is simple to cross promote their franchises, pander to their fans and hope netflix/hbo nongamers may pick a ps5 or two.
That's simplistic and old school thoughts though. Gamers already gone through 6-8 hrs of cinematic cutscenes sequels, what more can be told through the shows. The premise of uncharted, tlou, aren't even that interesting to sit through a season or 2 of shows.![]()
Made out of nothing??!!?!!?
You mean made out of the story behind one of the biggest nuclear disasters this planet has ever witnessed, right?
Remember when that same console company didn't focus on games with the initial reveal?Remember when a console company started talking about doing things like this back in 2013, and everyone took the piss?
Yes. The equivalent would be PS5 being announced and Sony talking only about TV but in reality Sony only showed off games and nothing but games at the reveal.My thoughts at first as well. However, the situation is not quite the same.
Sony doesn't put too much focus on this in the same way Microsoft did, where TV was mentioned at least one time every ten minutes.
Can't believe the 7 people who voted yay.
You can't even setup a sceu with all the shows/movies in planning. This is still a silly project to take.
Like leaving scej to die a slow death without funds? I rather they put out some quirky japanese games that may bomb than needing to follow tv series. Not sure if people these days mind sitting even longer binge watching tv..
If you haven't noticed there are a lot of trolls spreading FUD about Japan. Let them live in their fantasy.Man, I don't want to be rude, but you are an Xbox fanboy and troll, since when does this concern you so much? Why peddle narratives like Japan Studio being starved of funds?
I actually enjoyed all of those movies except for warcraft since I didn't see it. Doom would have to be my favorite(not the second one that is my least favorite of this bunch). Bloodrayne would have to still be the weakest out of this bunch. Honestly would have been better as a tv series from how the movies looked.You laugh, but Uwe is far from the worst video game movie maker around. Look at the big budget attempts with Doom, assassin's creed, rampage, battleships, warcraft. Boll's efforts are better than them.
That's the idea, or at least the common idea of old.
These days, it's about providing the best direct experience of that service.
Branching off just don't seems a smart thing imo. Sony throwing money into a wrong pit
Like would you spend hours chasing a tlou season? Generic settings can work fine in interactive games, but what content advantage does a tlou tv have?
you do realize this will most likely be handled by Sony's movie/media division, not playstation..highly doubt they would do this to the detriment of their games, which is really what makes them their moneyThis means less focus on games and less money to fund them so it's definitely a no from me. Spend the extra money on creating / buying new studios.
Remember "Powers"
That is supposed to make it better? You didn't saw leaked emails how incompetent higher ups there were?you do realize this will most likely be handled by Sony's movie/media division, not playstation..highly doubt they would do this to the detriment of their games, which is really what makes them their money
lol nope missed that but let's see how it goes..i'm not saying they're gonna be Blockbusters but should be interestingThat is supposed to make it better? You didn't saw leaked emails how incompetent higher ups there were?
