People buying a PS3 to play TLG will forever be amusing to me.

A friend bought a PS4 for Deep Down, that was even funnier.

Old news.
This also explains why TLG looks like the PS3-footage. It could barely run on PS3.
Anyway, game was amazing.

Glad it wasn't cancelled. Even if here and there feels a little stiff to control yourself and Trico behavior, i loved the game.
Dropped manly tears with the ending.

The gameplay they showed which was running on PS3 was running at 10fps (or 15fps, not sure) then multiplied to reach 30fps.
Such a game will never bereleased on done by Playstation anymore. Not since the managers are running the company.
Such a game will never be

Helldivers 2 had 8 years in development.

What do you mean?
TLG was made by genDesign (and Sony Japan) after Ueda started his own company and their new game has already been announced for Playstation as well:

Still better than Concord development. 400 millions down the drain on release day.

Funny, that didn't stop them from releasing Shadow of the Colossus on ps2

Mr. Shu is the antithesis of the corporate madness that now rules at Sony. He must be appalled by what these clowns are doing to his beloved brand.

If you really want to look at it objectively, isn't Shu the one that greenlit the projects that led to the closure of Japan Studio and PSVR was under his supervision?
Edit:
As well as Zipper, Evolution and Incognito?

Back when devs cared about pushing boundaries. Now we have AAA devs releasing 120 fps versions of their last gen games masquerading as next gen only games, and getting praised for it. Crazy times.
The setpieces towards the end of the game are still some of the best ive ever seen. right up there with Halo 3's scarab battle in chapter 5, and the numerous mgs4, and uncharted 3 setpieces.

NiOh was announced in 2004 as a PS3 launch title and released in 2017.

Yeah we're never getting another expensive artistic AAA game like that again

Psvr was really competitive, it's with psvr2 that the idea was botched.

Well yeah, my point was more that there are always things that can go wrong or could've/should've gone differently.

Sony today would make him do a live game.

That too lol.
Rise of the Ronin was in development since 2015 too from what I can find. It's simply absurd to assume that Sony will suddenly stop being patient on good projects because one guy left.

Better than Concord? Probably. But this is the worst competition ever since I don't believe Last Guardian made the 11 years development money back
Also, the game is not that great
Also², Shadow of Colossus ran at 15 fps in the PS2 and was only really playable in the PS3, so is this a trend for them?

And improved controls. It's a dumpster fire to play as is.

People expected more stable framerates on PS3.

11 years for something you discover six months into active production.
I don't even understand how this works - what do you even do for 11 years? Are you just waiting for the next console generation or what?
God bless Sony for letting them fuck around for eleven years instead of pulling the plug.

Usually, you cancel the game or heavily rework it. But in this case they wanted to keep true to their vision which is commendable.

Similar story for ICO, kinda. Developed for PS1 then transitioned to PS2. Most of the test footage is on PS1, if I recall. Texture quality really shows. Gem regardless.

It's funny, I hated the game when it came out and played it all the way through so that I could say I finished Ueda's latest masterpiece. I hated the camera and controls, the slippery boy, the wonky physics, and how Trico just didn't want to behave sometimes, and then I returned it to GameStop. Fast forward to now, bought it again on a sale and played it through on my PS5, and I think I like it more now. I have two young daughters that love watching me play it, they react appropriately to all the set pieces, and they love Trico and how he behaves like a pet - it's just charming. Some of the best animation I've seen on a creature, everything is just so believable. Can't wait for Ueda's next game, looks promising from the teaser trailer.
Wish I would have kept my physical copy - d'oh! It only runs at 30fps on PS5? That explains a lot...At least the unpatched retail physical copy runs at 60 FPS on Ps5.

Hence why the other thread a lot of us are saying ps3 was Sony’s worst effort.
