Hopefully this means they are going to stop laying off staff members then

BlackTar187265d ago

Why don't you just stay in the SOnic and Mario threads? Your comment history makes it obvious you hate Sony.

Kneetos265d ago (Edited 265d ago )

Well maybe if they didn't pull stuff like this I wouldn't hate them, stop trying to award them a free pass

The playstation fans here fly off the handle whenever Nintendo releases a game for $60 (for some reason), yet the so-called "video game industry leader" lays off hundreds of staff and we are just ment to shut up and consume apparently

Kneetos263d ago

You clearly haven't read my comment history, the only times I've complained about Sony is when they have been indulging in mass layoffs, which, how are you guys ok with that?

You do realise that all these amazing, world class video games Sony are making, and in this thread, promising to keep making come off the hard work of the very staff that Sony are fire-ing, why are you trying to defend them?

Lmao at least you admit you are who your comments show you are.

BlackTar187263d ago

Lol I’m not defending anyone I’m pointing out you’re a shill

Oh wow, I totally forgot about Bungie's 'Marathon' and did actually confuse it with 'Concord' over the last several months thinking to myself "Wow that game looked so promising when it was announced and now it turned into this."

Man, just had to re-watch that trailer again now of 'Marathon'. Looks so good & interesting in its art style.

However, I am getting a little bit nervous about the "in order to consistently and continuously release hit titles.”

I mean no doubt about it - I wish the PS Studios to do exactly this.

But I also just wish they keep their cool.

Don't they rush things, don't they crunch ppl.

I really wish for the PS Studios to have a great working atmosphere and that Hermen Hulst knows better than Ryan about not putting studios under pressure.

S2Killinit265d ago

Watch concord blow it up. Most of the hate for that game is by people that didn’t play the Beta.

FinalFantasyFanatic265d ago

Nah, it's dead in the water, I can't see how that game can succeed without major changes to the gameplay, and even then, those terrible/forgettable character designs are going to hold them back.

I'm predicting a flop at best.

TheNamelessOne265d ago

It had an open beta and nobody wanted to play it. What makes you think they'll now pay $40 for it?

S2Killinit265d ago

Actually, those that played it had a positive feedback, but then the negative press caught up. I wonder if they will be able to tank it, or if it can endure the initial pre-emptive bad press and come out serving crow for dinner.

PapaBop265d ago

I was excited to get my hands on it after it's first reveal, played in the betas.. there is certainly a lot of positives for the game but there is also a lot of negatives. The game isn't ready for release, not by a long shot. There is some great ideas there but just doesn't come together. None of the modes in the beta really pieces all the strings together in say the same way OW did with their limited but focused game modes. Then stupid things like having the character's pronouns on every character screen is akin to slapping jam on your testicles and dangling them to the anti-woke mob.

If they can't even get high numbers for an open beta, how are they going to get people to pay £40 for it? I actually enjoyed it enough that I'd buy it if it was going to take off but there is no point as it's almost certain to be featured in the ps plus monthly games before the year's end.

Elda265d ago

It'll be a flop. Most PS5 owners are not paying $40 to play Concord.

Wasn’t that the plan before?

Lightning77265d ago (Edited 265d ago )

It is. They're factoring gaas titles which is why things are being slowed down the past year or so. Sony has never done gaas before from a first party standpoint.

We all know if they never went gaas it would be buissness as usual from most if not all their first party right now.

EA Cuts Around 300 Roles, Including Roughly 100 at Respawn

In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.

Lightning7748m ago

Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....

This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.

8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs

Polygon writes: "U.S. customers can still order controllers, mice, and other peripherals that are already at the company’s U.S. warehouse. There doesn’t appear to be any way to tell what’s available at the U.S. warehouse on the website itself, but the checkout page — after inputting an address — will display what products in the cart can’t be shipped to the U.S."

OtterX19h ago

I have one of their adapters to use my PS5 controllers on my Switch, and I absolutely love it. I'm sure there are other brands that can do the same thing, but I had heard about 8Bitdo and wasn't disappointed. I also really dig the brick design of it.

z2g12h ago

Only gonna get worse from here folks. It was also reported that the US economy contracted for the first time in 6 years. - the last time was also when trump was in office. I guess that’s what happens when idiots choose belief over actual facts. Thx maga. You f**ked us all.

Snookies1212h ago

Lol, belief over actual facts... I don't usually get into political talks. Since you started it though... Trump was at least upfront about what he was doing for the most part. I don't necessarily think he's doing the best job. But I'd much rather have him in office. Over someone who should be in assisted living or their VP who had 20 different personas depending on her audience at the time.

And look at that, I was just talking about the candidates. Not resorting to calling people idiots because they didn't vote the way I chose.

xHeavYx10h ago

You think that Biden should be in an assisted living facility (which is true) but that Trump is completely sane? Or that someone with "20 different personas" (no idea why you get this idea) is better than a guy found guilty of sexual abuse? Nevermind all the stuff that he's doing that's illegal or his abuse of power? Hard not to think you are challenged if you really think that.

'At least the dipshit evil fascist tangerine is honest about how all the stupid evil shit he's doing' is not the defense you think it is.
And 'I fucked over millions of people but you have to be polite to me' is the dumbest thing ive ever heard, believed exclusively by mouth breath oxygen thieves.
