Sony make bad decisions when they listen to noisy activists pushing their ideas or beliefs into games. Making a character with DEI inspiration doesn’t make them interesting or compelling. How the character interacts in the world, the voice actor and dialog is what makes a character interesting. Not many people cared Ellie (TLOU) was girl because her character was interesting, same with Aloy or Miles Morales. Call of Duty has a diverse roster of characters but apart from a select few fan favou...
About as collectible as Anthem disc copies.
Still struggling to understand how Concord got greenlit but TLOU Factions 2 got canned. Cannot believe PS gave Bungie so much power to review other studio’s games and treat their opinion as gospel. Bungie only exists because PS bought them, otherwise they would have collapsed financially.
XBOX’s motto: Just wait until next year!
At least iMS has improved from “Just wait until next year!” Now its only a few months
XBOX only survives die to the largesse of its parent company. Xbox wouldn’t survive without MS propping it up.
Not like MS don’t drop things a hot potato if it is not performing. Look at MS history to see products or platforms discontinued. Xbox is not a charity for MS, it needs to make money and the ABK was the last roll of the dice for Xbox.
I’m sure you would be ok with a white Zulu or other African warrior? Pretending that Feudal Japan would tolerate a samurai who is not Japanese is laughable.
Is cultural appropriation not a thing anymore?
Most divisive or controversial? The author clearly doesn’t remember Fallout 76 at launch. It was a disaster back then but Bethesda has turned it around.
Keep your dev team to the people actually making the game. Cut the consultants and marketing teams. Promote the gane when its nearly finished. These companies are too bloated.
Missed April fools day by a week.
It was the same old story in 2020, 2021,2022 and 2023. XBox has never delivered this gen.
Stop being a whiny little SJW b@#ch!
Basiic tenet of business is that you don’t keep pouring money into a loss making venture. MS has a history of cutting and running if the business venture is failing.
I would have thought if you make games and consoles that sell well and make a profit then you don’t keep having to MS head office to bail out XBOX.
Don’t “buy” or license Blizzard games anymore.
Lets not forget that an employee at SBI tried to launch a harassment campaign against a steam curator for creating a list.
DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.
PlayStation can port over Destruction All stars, Foamstars, The Last Guardian and Astro’s playroom. Or is it typically expected PS port over its First party top tier games despite Xbox not releasing Starfield over but complains about Helldivers 2 not coming to Xbox. Xbox needs PS more than PS needs Xbox.
Maybe if game developers made games that appeal to the majority of gamers rather than self-indulgent projects that are currently infesting the gaming sphere. Pretending it is just games leadership is the problem is delusional. Games like Concord had the full support of the leadership and Sony. It was the game directors, concept artists that tanked this game. The investors of this game torched $100-200 million dollars and is it any wonder why no one will want to put money down for this studio’...
