As we approach 25 years since Sucker Punch first opened, we’re proud to look back on the legacy of characters and stories we’ve created, from Rocket: Robot on Wheels to Sly Cooper and inFAMOUS, and most recently Ghost of Tsushima.
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead on the success of its game, what comes next and dealing with toxic players
Not yet, but they can grow. Sounds like that's the plan. They have a new CEO this week as well. I can see they pushing helldivers 2 to other consoles, Mac and even high end mobile devices. The game could become a global force and sony can rack up their MAUs.
Sure for Helldivers. Surprised Sony doesn't put Helldivers 1 on mobile.... but in reality, I think Arrowhead is talking about creating original IPs that they own. What I question is how they will do this (while remaining multiplatform) without expanding. For HD2, Sony contributed a lot. If they do this by themselves, they are going to hire more people (which isn't a bad thing as long as its sustainable). I love that they are trying to 'stay small' but even when looking at HD2, you get the feeling that they were woefully underprepared to deal with the success they had. Even to today, it takes too long to get bugs addressed.
Another story said that players had stopped playing because of lack of new content. We have know about the new factions since launch but one doubts that they have the internal resources to get new content added at the pace they need to. If they are looking for the kind of success they claim, they need to invest in the resources that will allow them to attract and keep as many players as possible.
Amazon Games has announced the opening of a brand new studio in Bucharest, and it's headed up by an ex-Ubisoft executive.
Unicorn Overlord developer Vanillaware is currently working on a brand new action RPG that features an online component.
Least they are honest about Sly and Infamous so people don't get their hopes up
Still want Infamous 3 though with Coles return eventually.
I just 100% Infamous 2 this year and the UGC is not great so I don't think it really even needs to be kept up for anything other than trophies. Pretty cool they are going to be making Coles Legacy dlc for Second Son available to everyone because for some reason it's not available for download in the USA. I'm pretty sure I had it on my launch PS4 but on PS5 I don't see anyway to download it or access it again. Of course maybe I didn't even enter the code that's in the case before it expired because I really don't remember anymore.
I did a badass mod on Infamous 2's UGC that I wish I had recorded it for posterity. Thinking the Mod had its own save or that once you uploaded it to their servers it would be safe, like a goofball, I went ahead and deleted the game installation from my PS3 and the thing disappeared...Bah!
I think it was named "Left Behind - Starting Jason Statham". Something like that.
If you were one of the 5 people that played it, then you are welcome.
Infamous 1 and 2 need remasters .
