Lets calm our tits. Compared to 343i's Halo, sure, and it's not even close. But comparing HD2 to HALO CE, no, not a thing that can be done. Halo CE was far ahead.HD2 IS the best halo game.

You are hearing from the programmers from the opposite sides of the earth? You have pretty good hearing, nglNever claimed to be an insider. As said specifically that I am not claiming to be an insider. As I know very very little, just the little I hear from others (mostly programmers)
Not just pretty good hearing, but the best!You are hearing from the programmers from the opposite sides of the earth? You have pretty good hearing, ngl
I didn't know that the studio has these views.Here's why sony didn't buy them

To modern sony, these tweets are like garlic to a vampire
I gotta hand it to this guy. He really has to have a silver tongue. I can't make sense of it any other way how he managed to climb the career ladder the way he did. I'd honestly be down with a full leadership transfer over to Japan. It would probably be an upgrade in every regard compared to the prior regime. Hulst has to be "evicted" from his position for PS to have a full recovery.
This bulletin point has Hulst's, if not Ryan's maybe even the "money hungry old men" over at Sony Japan HQ (like Totoki), stink all over it. Especially, after how they ushered GaaS as the "future of PlayStation". PS needs to go back to the basic "developers first" mantra they used to embody and understand you can't foster and "fabricate" massive 20+ mil. IPs straight out of the gate. They have to establish something like a cult-like fandom which they grow first before they can - and I hate to say it - "expand" upon them. That's how some of the bigger tentpole titles grew to become industry "mastadons" that they are today. Upper management is in need of fresh blood that admires games from both the east and west, the work that's put into them, plus their cultural differences.From what I understand, given that I actually know someone at Arrowhead. But I don't want to claim I'm an "insider" because they rip things out of proportion really bad.
1. Sony and Arrowhead still have a relatively good relationship, but it won't go any further
2. Both Arrowhead and Sony are to blame for their relationship not being what it used to be
- Arrowhead nerfing all fun in the game for a while and changing things for the worse, which drove a lot of players away
- Sony pressuring to try and get Arrowhead to monitise HD2 a lot more than it is(basically not much) and Arrowhead resisting. From what I understand, what monetisation Sony wanted bordered on ridiculous
- Arrowhead's next game will not have anything to do with Sony in any way shape or form, and Arrowhead will never do anything with Sony in any way, shape or form ever again
Believe me or don't believe me. I could very well be making all of this up.
P.S. Not Arrowhead or Sony related
Nacon's patience with Spiders(developer) is also running thin. If it doesn't release as promised this year, and doesn't perform really well, they will be closed down.
Huh, I thought the studio belonged to Sony.
I'm sick and tired of the Chinese infecting everything.
Look at the bright side, they also bought haven studio.
HD2 far exceeds its community reach. taking the studio to make a Halo game will be a downgrade.Lets calm our tits. Compared to 343i's Halo, sure, and it's not even close. But comparing HD2 to HALO CE, no, not a thing that can be done. Halo CE was far ahead.
He used to consult for them but not anymore.Btw, there's an important fact to note here; Shawn Layden (former SIE/PS CEO) now works for Tencent. Its probably no coincedence this happened since he's transitioned to them. HD2 was greenlit during his tenure if I understand correctly.
The only thing that matters is apps. They may make an app that runs on PC, mobile, cloud and has a storefront. Making hardware just limits your reach. It's old thinking. China already manufactures everyone else's hardware, including all the phones.How much longer before Tencent creates their own console?
Upon further research, I stand corrected. You are right. That seems to have slipped me. Disregard that snippet in the previous post.He used to consult for them but not anymore.
Honestly speaking Tencent doesn't need him to find their way into this. They are one of the largest gaming firms in the world.
But they don't have an app everywhere. Far from it actually.The only thing that matters is apps. They may make an app that runs on PC, mobile, cloud and has a storefront.

I know. I was saying they need more expansion into software. Hardware is mostly becoming irrelevant in my opinion; especially closed hardware. Everyone wants their stuff on everything.But they don't have an app everywhere. Far from it actually.
Do they? Who's really asking for this other than hardcore gamers. I play a ton of games and I don't even care about this. I can only play games at home I don't need my stuff everywhere. I think it's a very small amount of the gamer population that this would even benefit.Everyone wants their stuff on everything.
I don't think of hardcore gamers. I think of young people, international and emerging markets that don't buy closed hardware, China, South Korea, or everyone's expectation for everything going with them on any device now - music, social media, apps. Closed hardware literally doesn't exist for anyone but hardcore gamers. When I look to the future, I don't see that being a growing area personally. Just my opinion.Do they?

MS should focus on Take Two for now.
The new God of War is going to sell gangbusters now that they don't have Kratos dragging down sales. Atreus is what the people want.
Coincidence there aren't Sony games too?It's so refreshing not seeing that fucking trash plastered everywhere this year, glad alot of places realized that these assholes aren't special and don't need a whole fucking month.. Love to see it
Hulst is fixing Jim's mess-ups.
anyone knows who owns the helldivers IP?
