Heads will roll at Sony for all these failures and soon to be failures, that much is guaranteed.
I agree. 100% This is the right message that Sony must receive.I hope they all fail. I hate to say it, but they abandoned traditional gaming.
Sony needs to be taught a hard lesson. Don't fuck over your longtime system owners, and traditional gamers by ignoring the old core audience to get a new "modern audience"
They should of sprinkled in a few gaas titles to appease the tweens and made mostly what they are good at.
Yeah young kids play a ton of f2p games, that is because they are in school, they are cheap and their freinds do. After a few years they will get a job, continue on with life and have more responsiblities. These gas games will take too much time and they will want some quality. I say this as I have a gen z step son that went through the whole trend of playing roblox, garys mod, fortnite, seige, cod and then went back to basics with God of war, mad max, and other single player games. I am sure this is a phase period for teens, or at least I hope.
Regardless, old heads like me spend money. No product they don't get their cut. Make more single player games and stop trying to be "woke/politically correct" or whatever it's being called today. Just make good games you know your classic audience will love and hype. Money will follow.
Will they do this, not with Herman's Herman and Neil the Squeal Druckman in upper spots (i know druckman isn't a ceo but he has pull I am sure).
They need a return to roots moment. And the Sony fanboys on here and elsewhere need to stop applauding them like they can do no wrong. You want change you have to critize. Don't play yes men to "your team".
I hope whoever greenlit BluePoint to do this no longer working at Sony. A totally moronic move that completely blows my mind to this day.Reminder that after Bluepoint shipped Demon's Souls, Sony had them work on a God of War live service game for 4 years.
WoW and FF14 are bad. Okay....Arguably there hasn't been a real good one since Fortnite released, also arguably there weren't any good ones before it released either.
Put a few more "arguably" in there for good luck, how about Rocket Leauge, How about all those card games, how abour Genshin Impact. Why compare everything to Fortnite? Paladins have been running since 2017 and Concord lasted 3 fucking days!Arguably there hasn't been a real good one since Fortnite released, also arguably there weren't any good ones before it released either.
That flipping twitI pitched a mature violent GAAS (think visual tone of Gears) to Hermen and he rejected it, because a dark mature tone is not mainstream enough to get the player numbers needed to sustain a live service game.
Doom still sitting at a rocksolid 30K CCU peak on Steam during launch-weekend.![]()
Pheww good that only happens at Sony.
Thats all? 1/3rd of previous game.Doom still sitting at a rocksolid 30K CCU peak on Steam during launch-weekend.
This I really don't get. Wasn't it rumored back in the day that they were working on an original IP?Reminder that after Bluepoint shipped Demon's Souls, Sony had them work on a God of War live service game for 4 years.
No it happens everywhere, but it happens at Sony too and that is what we are discussing here![]()
Pheww good that only happens at Sony.
If you ever get the chance, please let Hulst know he's an unqualified and unimaginative goof for the position he's occupying. Best regards, a random "screecher" on GAF.I pitched a mature violent GAAS (think visual tone of Gears) to Hermen and he rejected it, because a dark mature tone is not mainstream enough to get the player numbers needed to sustain a live service game.
They are literally releasing one this year and another one of their games just lost its lead producer so yeah there is concern![]()
Why are we still obsessing over the GAAS of Sony? I thought it was pretty obvious last year that, with how Sony handled the release of Concord and cancelling a bunch of GAAS projects and only leaving a few alive, they were pivoting back to SP games.
I guess Sony's good financial results sparked a lot of fake concern.
The studios they bought to make gaas gamesWhich Playstation studio with the required expertise do you think should develop a new Socom, MAG or Warhawk?
They were already working on the games they're working on.The studios they bought to make gaas games
Exactly.What is VRR?
Helldivers 2 sold really well. But... as a live game, it has not kept up the success/player count you would hope. They haven't really done a good job with it.Helldivers2 was/is very successful coz it wasnt made "for modern audience", rest of GAAS did flop or will flop hard, and no, lets not compare proper singleplayer game like gt7 with hefty singleplayer mode to those GAAS artrocities like concord, marathon or fairgame$.
You know that'll never happen unless they're cornered into the wall like the ps3 era. They want that easy gaas money printing machine for years to come. No innovationThey can have a much better portfolio if they used their older ips like Socom, Killzone etc.
Destiny 2, Gran Turismo 7 and MLB The Show are very successful GaaS too. So 4 of 6 out of the 12 they have planned are very successful.Helldivers 2 is extremely successful OP, I don't know what you're smoking.
It's Sony's only GAAS success this gen as everything else has failed.
For the chicken littles (yes, very much intentional) for sure. For the rest of us, ehh, the recent financials seem decent. I'm not saying that I like the live service direction (which, as stated by many, has been waning), but thus far, it's not like Sony's going away any time soon.so yeah there is concern
Yeah, sooo bad...right now Marvel Rivals at 118K on #8...What do you want Apex Legends numbers?Helldivers 2 sold really well. But... as a live game, it has not kept up the success/player count you would hope. They haven't really done a good job with it.
A major patch just released it's been trending more like a quarter of that and yea, a major gaas game does numbers like Apex. Helldigers right now is at best 2nd tier.Yeah, sooo bad...right now Marvel Rivals at 118K on #8...What do you want Apex Legends numbers?

Apex is free.A major patch just released it's been trending more like a quarter of that and yea, a major gaas game does numbers like Apex. Helldigers right now is at best 2nd tier.
But it's doing sooo baadd...oh now it's gotta be 1st tier or it's sooo baaaad. Dude, stop it with the bullshit and get the fuck out.A major patch just released it's been trending more like a quarter of that and yea, a major gaas game does numbers like Apex. Helldigers right now is at best 2nd tier.
I never said it was doing bad, I said that they didn't do a good job as a live game which they haven't. No bullshit here so fuck off.But it's doing sooo baadd...oh now it's gotta be 1st tier or it's sooo baaaad. Dude, stop it with the bullshit and get the fuck out.
There's no fixing your bullshit. You're not even a 2nd tier Pokémon, Pikachu. You should have dropped it after the first reply.I never said it was doing bad, I said that they didn't do a good job as a live game which they haven't. No bullshit here so fuck off.
They have accepted it, hence all the cancelations.They were sent out to fail and die out from the get go, Sony just refuses to accept it yet.
Sweetie I think you need to take your meds in time, who the fuck is talking about Sony going away???For the chicken littles (yes, very much intentional) for sure.

I'm not saying that I like the live service direction (which, as stated by many, has been waning), but thus far, it's not like Sony's going away any time soon.
