Even though I watched the Uncharted movie myself, I would still prefer an Uncharted game instead. Need I explain why?
There are other ways to sway people into buying consoles, but when was the last time they released a major Uncharted? Almost 10 years have passed since then.
If you are a big Uncharted fan like me, the PS5 has nothing to offer these days. It's already 2025 and $499 for 2020 hardware is a bit too much, especially when there's no Uncharted 5 in the horizon.

I am a big Uncharted fan, but I, unlike you, not an infantile. I am perfectly fine with Uncharted movie.
Things doesnt work in a way that if Sony wouldn't made Uncharted film it would have made Uncharted game. No.
1st ND is moved on and more interested in new projects. 2nd - movies and games are completely different things - they even different companies. They have separate budgets, targets etc. And if anything we would see another comic-based movie instead of Uncharted and obviously not a game. Because it's Sony Pictures area of responsibility, budgets, targets etc, and they can do their projects aligned with other business lines (transmedia approach) or separately. But they will do ~~movies~~ and games.

Actually... in reality... no one stops Sony to do both Uncharted movie and Uncharted game at the same time, corporate finance doesn't work in a way that you can only spend cash at hands so they should mandatory choose where to invest. The main reason why they do not do Uncharted because their capacity is filled with other projects. And cancelling Uncharted movie will not give them suddenly another studio ND level of quality, expertise etc who can make next Uncharted and you'll end up without both movie and game.

2) I will believe Sony's transmedia strategy is successful when the PS5 becomes a mass market product like the iPhone.
So far it's been a nothingburger. The majority just doesn't care. They're happy with their smartphones. No PC/console for the Average Joe.

They are number 1 company game company with record revenue. So, obviously, their strategy do help them keep and grow market share.

So why is everything being canceled now, even though Herman is still there?

Because the bean counters are finally saying "what the fuck are these gaijin doing?"

Yea and most of the stuff was geeenlit under him. He has other responsibilities now but the damage he has done is insane.

They only worked on it for two years, since the release of God of War: Ragnarök in late 2022. Before that, they were assisting on said game's development.

Thanks for the info. So sad man =(

Apparently they shut down good studios like Evolution and Studio Japan because of slight missteps. Yet those games went on to be good.
Yet we have this debacle which could cost into the billions. Cancelling games is even worse especially when they have been in development for years. Shows how confident Sony are? Pathetic. Please refrain from buying anymore studios.

It was 100% hulst

So why are these live service games being cancelled now?

Because the bean counters are finally saying "what the fuck are these gaijin doing?"

And only one of those gaijins are gone. I wonder why...............



Some of us told you all that he was being fired in a Japanese "respectful" way. Yet, you all thought we were tripping.

Every bad day, I think that a Horizon game got cancelled and suddenly, life is better.

So why are these live service games being cancelled now?

Japan has a bigger eye on those guys for doing only shit.

They're 1 for 2. Scouts don't judge a player based on two shots. Crazy MMQB radio show call ins do.

There were new 10 GAAS hits that released in 2024. Their Metacritic average was 72. Sony Bend, BluePoint, and Haven aren't outclassed by those 10 developers...not by a long shot. Anti GAAS echo chambers breed lots of bad thinking. It's always good to step outside every once in a while as see that NeoGAF and gaming twitter is not real life.

God of War as a modern day Gauntlet sounds like a solid idea.
Fairgames only looked like dog**** to people who suffer from GDS. The characters didn't look any worse than Valorants. It's just an out of touch echo chamber bouncing the same idea off one another.

Next few years is going to be fun.

Lmao the most prominent character in that trailer look like your average black skinned, manly faced girl boss from the last 10 years, you add to that what the game is all about (stealing from riches) and people obvioulsy didn't liked that shit one bit, come the fuck on

That looks like a SSKJL season 3 DLC. It has FAIL written all over it.
