This is actually pretty fun ngl.

It's all marketing, creating brand synergy for PS Studios. I just wish that they could have put a little more effort, maybe add a little cosmetic item for each game? Or at least make art that looks good? I liked the GG one too, the other ones are just plain cringe.

 

[Hudo]

Sony marketing commanded their first-party studios to post on Twitter.

I don't see what's amazing here?

 

[Sentenza]

The REAL cringe is that they couldn't just ignore this thread

It still doesn't hold a candle to the not-so-subtle "Man, this sugary cross-marketing makes me emotional" from the Sony fans, honestly.

 

[Flutta]

Cringe overload.

 

[diffusionx]

this stuff is always cringe, but worse when it is all Sony studios. Like send an email, bro.

 

[SkylineRKR]

This is cringe to do it on social media since they're all under the same leadership.

And those rainbow things in their logos are even more cringe.

 

[X-Wing]

Pretty cool to see this kind of stuff from the other studios. The studios under the PlayStation Studios umbrella share a lot of knowledge among them and contribute a lot to each others’ projects. That’s why they are such good oiled machines.

 

[RickMasters]

Well. I think they look cool.

Also, it’s not uncommon for other devs under the same umbrella to congratulate their fellow teams under the same banner….. and sometimes we get cool artwork out of it.

But the I love seeing artists do these kinds of crossover art pieces. Crossover shit always seems cool to me for whatever reason.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Low effort from Bungie.

 

[kiphalfton]

Amazing how a few pieces of art hurt your feelings. Maybe go grab some fresh air.

Nope, just gets old seeing the same self-promoting attitude.

 

[SJRB]

This is what you get when you prompt Dall-E "artwork of circlejerking".

 

[RavageX]

Exactly.

Agreed, what a bunch of sad sacks. Like the artwork...dont like it, whatever. Not sure how this is ruining your day, lol.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Nope, just gets old seeing the same self-promoting attitude.

Theeeeennnnnnnnnnn.....

 

[FalsettoVibe]

You folks seem like some of the most insufferable people ever....lol. it's not that serious, just ignore the thread. You would think people just learned the word "cringe"....lol.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

It's like a sickness. They can't help themselves. Is it really that hard to just ignore the thread?

Bluepoint and Firesprite without games to create art

Bluepoint should have taken one of the art in another studio's tweet. Improve the quality of it and send that as their congratulations tweet.

 

[Raonak]

Lol, some people really got triggered by this huh?

 

[GustavoLT]

Phill Spencer didn"t this time... strange!

 

[FalsettoVibe]

This...plus I'm so over the word "cringe". lol

7. Launch game on Oct 20
8. Fist party studios do marketing tweets between 11:00 am and noon

 

[semiconscious]

Pretty cool coordinated effort. Love the custom artwork. Shows some degree of cohesion and camaraderie between the studios.

or simply reflects the fact that they're owned by the same corporation, & doing mutual p.r. for each other...

i know, i can be just just sooo negative sometimes (i think it was the use of the word 'camaraderie' that got me)...

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Brb "Let's congratulate insomniac for Spiderman"
Brb "Let's also include a shameless plug for our games"

Just say congrats. Fucking hell.

They all do this for every major release. It's part of the culture at PlayStation Studios to show that they're one big family.

Same thing with the Destiny skins for God of War, Horizon, and Ghost of Tsushima.

It's called cross-promotional.

 

[mortal]

Their studios have been doing this shit for years and years.
Why are some of you complaining about it now, especially when it doesn't affect you in the slightest?

 

[Sentenza]

Look the same bunch of fools who were almost getting teary eyes about how wholesome Sony studios are at patting each other on the back with cross promotion NOW attempting to sound like the tough guys and blaming everyone else of being "triggered".

 

[Danjin44]

It's part of the culture at PlayStation Studios to show that they're one big family.

 

[RickMasters]

Phill Spencer didn"t this time... strange!

I guess he finally realised that business is war. I say good for him for real. Business is competition. I work in the music biz and I ain’t patting other producers, sound engineers and song writers…. I think about what I can do better. I hope philnlooks at completion. In business the same way. Don’t congrats them….. study them and do it better.


Kudos to Sony for the consistency and eye on quality. Saying that as an Xbox gamer.

 

[March Climber]

This...plus I'm so over the word "cringe". lol

I’ll take the return of “cringe” and all that it comes with, if it means we can bury the word “woke” 6 ft under.

 

[thismeinteil]

Phill Spencer didn"t this time... strange!

Probably still licking the wounds of releasing 3 disappoints in a row. One of which was supposed to be the GOTG.

ND, what the Hell is up with that artwork? Not only does it look horrible, you seriously didn't put Nathan Drake swinging with Spider-Man with his grappling hook. Neil needs to leave.

 

[systemr123]

Where’s Phil’s congratulations?
