Don’t forget MLB The Show, featuring Aloy
Cause they want Palworld numbers, typical lazy genzers excuse for doing the lazy job and ignoring all merit cause they don't care, they got average talent and think business.
He seems like the best person on leadership for sure.
He's a bean counter and has basically zero idea about what works and what doesn't in gaming.
...they have even more than that. So yeah, he has to clarify exactly what he means when he says don't have enough IP.
I've seen nobody mention socom, the original squad based co op shooter.
You could add Jak & Daxter or Killzone SF Multiplayer (the best MP game Sony has ever done IMO) there. The problem is that they have been mismanaging their IPs and the whole Playstation Brand into chasing fads.Alundra
Wild Arms
Legend Of Dragoon
Patapon

And those are just from the top of my head, and most of them havent been used in a while, and from those ip from the ps1 era i would love to see even modest AA remakes.
But yeah, he is right, they don't have that much ip. At least we got Concord and Fairgame$.
Most of those IPs were actually successful either critically or commercially. For instance Days Gone has being objectively a commercial hit for Sony and they killed it because, well, the woke reviewers didn't like it.
Not gonna lie, those sound cool.
While that is true to a degree. Microsoft did not create Minecraft like Nintendo has done with Mario etc. They bought it after it became successful. Microsoft could buy Pokemon but I wouldn't then say that Microsoft had fostered Pokemon from the beginning, which is the point of the article. Sony has more franchises that they have had since day 1.
I totally agree that Microsoft spotted an existing gem and polished it. You could say that Sony have almost done the same with Spiderman but I don't know how much of the money they make on the films or games goes elsewhere, the same with Gran Turismo. It's a PlayStation great but it's full of other peoples cars.
Yeah it's funny how many people jumped to a Nintendo vs PlayStation thing, when he's only tangentially talking about PlayStation.
Agreed. So many have been abandoned as well. This man Totoki is clearly lacking brain cells. How they manage to put people like this in such an important role is baffling imo. He clearly doesn’t even fully know or realize his own product.
He is probably comparing to Microsoft which has "bought itself" tons of IP from Bethesda to Activision.
