Around $10 billion of value was wiped off Sony's stock this week after it cut its sales forecast for its flagship PlayStation 5 console for the fiscal year.
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
It's time to add two more games to your library for free from the Epic Games Store.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
Could be time to buy some shares if you have any disposable monies
Did you see how well last of did on HBO.
They also did a twisted metal series on peacock
(I live in UK so downloaded it through other means)
That also did well and if the game also hits, you get my point
Sony has finger on the pulse no doubt, they are refusing to release mediocre games and this will benefit them long term! Hence share price will rise again I would guess
Gaming in general isn’t doing well. AAA game development is out the roof, Spider-Man 2 cost a whopping 300 million to make, Naughty Dog can’t get a new game out the door, Alan Wake 2 hasn’t recouped development cost, and the market is overstated with all these attempts at live service games. PlayStation doesn’t even have any first party games releasing this year that I’m aware of.
This is one reason why day 1 PC releases will happen.
Unfortunate hopefully everything goes okay.
To be honest, a drop of 10B worth of the stock is nothing alarming. MS dropped 4,45% of its value of 300 Billion. Nintendo dropped 6,5% of its 10B value. But all of the companies above are in a long uptrend. I do however believe we are eventually going to crash in the gaming market, because it isnt sustainable. But i dont think we are there yet.
