TOKYO - "This company is too great to fail," said Welshman Sir Howard Stringer when he took over as the chairman and chief executive of Sony, Japan's iconic electronics giant, on June 23, 2005. Even then, things looked shaky. The company was drifting rudderless in a sea of competition, awash with soggy products and sagging profits. Its electronics business, the company's beating heart, was critically in the red.
The vote to authorize a potential strike for SAG-AFTRA video game performers passed overwhelmingly.
In the annals of Mortal Kombat history, Stryker stands out not for his prominence but for his successive series of blunders and near-misses.
Will focus on "art, merch, and more".
Naughty Dog has announced it'll be celebrating The Last of Us Day - its annual hat tip to the community - again this year, but has warned fans not to expect any game or TV show news.
Is that multiplayer EVER going to drop? Like good lord... I love Naughty Dog so much, they're definitely in my top 5, if not top 3 developers. At this point, it's just getting ridiculous though. There's never even been a trailer for it, right? What the heck is going on with that? Just kind of baffled by the lack of info because I was looking forward to that quite a bit before Last of Us 2 even dropped.
Last gen, 2 years after the PS4 released we had Uncharted 4 but we didn't get a new IP from them.
3 years after the PS5 dropped and we've had nothing new from NaughtyDog and still no sign of a new IP just a remake we really didn't need.
The only thing we know is coming is an online focused multiplayer game and while Factions was a great addition to the original TLOU it's not like any of us wanted a full on multiplayer game spin off to take time away from other things. We could have at least had a reveal trailer of their new IP by now by their second team if the focus wasn't so split.
Feels like they care more about the TV show, it's all they ever talk about even with the writers / actors strike going on.
Goes to show how boring this gen will turn out everyone's talking forever to craft their graphical masterpiece that the generation will be over by the time the next hitters come out
starting to get fairly fed up with all the lack of communication from 1st party. Even when the last of us started its hype was more interesting, showing the ants etc and no one knew what the game was about.
Being totally in the dark is much worse
"Just kind of baffled by the lack of info because I was looking forward to that quite a bit before Last of Us 2 even dropped."
Looks like the rumors surrounding that game been in development hell are accurate.
very interesting
They keep on lying and overhyping , they have crap customer service, and theyare losing money!
They are getting paranoid because they know they can go bankrupt soon.
Sony, quit sucking up to us, we won't cry over your demise!
"This company is to great to fall"
Another arrogance comment of Sony. Large companies have went bankrupt before. For different reasons. Not only @ the game department it gets beaten up, but also at other consumer electronic markets.
For example the TV section. Samsung took a real large bit with their HDTV's. Well maybe that's because they teamed up with the mighty 360? However it sells like hell.
It's still critically in red. Every quarter almost 600 million dollars loss. Just took a major bank loan, the first in 10 years time. Big bets on BetaBluRay (which appears to have less quality on HD-DVD now, especially confirmed HD-DVD supports 1080p now also) and things like a PS CPU that has bad yields (10 to 20% succes...) and more...
Nope Sony, not listening to your customers, lying, overpromising and underdelivering can bring any company down. No matter what size
#2, #3, shut up your lier mouths you bustu.... we know that you hate sony, why do you come here to only post this sh!t ??? you know ps3 will kick ass you poor crapbox, go play it, if it is so good. but dont bother us with you complex. we know that you are so envy. such idiots like you should be banned for ever.
lol what has Themart done again this time..we already know his arguements cuz they just keep rotating 24/7 in 360 circles ..The freaking thing hasn`t even launch..yet
