""after Sony came off the end of the PS3 which was a financial hardship for them."" Sony spent $380 million buying Gaikai in July 2012 so I don't think "financial hardship" means what you think it means.
You keep trying to claim that the reason Sony closed 3 studios in 6 months was because their games weren't selling but no games were selling on the Vita and that certainly wasn't the fault of the studio...

"Highly selective... are you kidding, its games released in the last two years."
Like I said, highly selective. Sony first party games in the last 2 years have been Days Gone, Concrete Genie, Dreams, The Last of Us Part2, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man Miles Morales, R&C Rift Apart, and MLB The Show(s) - yet you included games that were not first party, were not released in the last 2 years, and omitted games that are functionall...

In what world is January 12. 2012, March 29. 2012, and August 22. 2012 anywhere close to the launch of the PS4 in November 2013? The Vita launched December 12. 2011 in Japan and January 22. 2012 in NA and EU and all 3 of the closed studios developed games for the Vita launch window. By the third week of release in Japan it was clear that the Vita had bombed and Sony began clearing house of studios that worked on the system. You make the excuse that "they c...
"I don't think one way or the other about Psygnosis."
Then why the hell are you commenting about Sony Liverpool?
@chinchilla
To be fair, your list is highly selective that leaves out games that disprove your point while also including non first-party games. Will you at least admit that God of War, The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, and (to a lesser extent) Spider-Man are all extremely similar games? That is almost half of Sony's first party studio output right there. Returnal has a lot more in common with them than previous Housemarque games like...
Probably not, since The Getaway was developed Team SoHo - not Studio Liverpool - which was then merged to become London Studio.
If you have PSVR, you definitely should give London Studio's 2019 game Blood&Truth a try. London Studio originally planned the game to be another installment in The Getaway franchise and so it shares many of the same themes.
That is really an oversimplification of everything since it excuses Sony's involvement in the matter and shifts the fault onto the supposed "bad apples" of Sony Liverpool. Sony closed 3 studios back-to-back at the time so it clearly wasn't the fault of the employees at the studio. Instead, Sony had just failed with the Vita and closed just about every studio that made games for it instead of acknowledging that it was Sony's bad business decisions that doomed the Vita. ...
So Sony closes Studio Liverpool and the former members found Firesprite only to be bought up by Sony 9 years later? Hopefully Sony doesn't mismanage them like they did with Studio Liverpool (can't be the employees fault since they created a 250+ person after Sony fired them).

Every collector's edition for PS5 that Sony puts out will only come with a digital copy of the game. That is the consequence of having a digital-only version of a console. You think not having a physical disc in a collector's edition is dumb - how about buying a collector's edition that comes with a copy of the game that you cannot play on your discless console?
Sony is not going to start punishing gamers based on which version of PS5 they have. All PS4 and P...
The photo mode isn't exclusive, you just get a "special pose and face paint" to use in photo mode.

How soon before we can stop blaming Covid for things that have been happening long before it? While Covid didn't help, video game delays have been a running joke for the entirety of last generation. Horizon: Zero Dawn was also delayed from 2016 to February 2017. https://blog.playstation.co...
Either you can't read or you really do think that you should be able to shoot people with guns in a LEGO game since that is the game mechanic that "they limited." Perhaps use your imagination next time and imagine that you are shooting people with guns GTA style in a LEGO game.
LEGO City Undercover is an amazing game and one of the best in both LEGO games and games on the WiiU (except for the load times).

"“I don’t like that he reviewed a game on my preferred platform badly. I want him banned!”
That’s why N4G is cancer."
That has nothing to do with it, but thanks for trying. Quarter to Three also gave Forza Horizon 2 a 1/5 and Halo 3 a -1/10. Do you support those scores like you do their score of 1/5 for Rift Apart?
Tom Chick only cares about stirring up controversy to create clicks. That isn...
and you just proved his point.
With all due respect madam, where are you going with this?
Definitely the highpoint of the series. You were completely immersed in the environment and there was no pausing the game to look at the map or to instantly fast travel to anywhere. But hey - Far Cry 3 had Vaas who you fought as a quicktime event in a FPS, Texas holdem, and the ability to hunt animals to craft a backpack to hold more animal skins so you could craft a holster instead of just taking one off of the many people you kill.
