The victim complex is real.I can only imagine how much "doom and gloom" would be here on GAF if Xbox would came with statement "we delayed 6 out of 12 games."
"Incompetence"
"Xbox can't manage their studios"
With Sony it will be "they know it takes time to release great games"

Some would argue the GaaS can be fun. Sea of Thieves for example. Or Counter Strike 2. Fortnite. They are fun games.
Its comments like this one that reminds how much out of touch GAF really is.
My idea fun game is I don’t have to deal with live service and online only bullshits but that just me.
How about try dedication lots of of smaller teams within their existing studios to create smaller AA games between the larger AAA games they already create. This way you keep content flowing between the big games. I'm sure thier are hundreds of people within their current studios with some great ideas for games who'd love this opportunity
And thats fine. Gamers have different tastes. But to say that GaaS are not fun... thats wrong.
I want to see Sony make interesting AA games that’s much more experimental like….
But even with bangers and maxing console sales, SONY has not been shy about how their traditional model is unsustainable. It's not coincidence that they were warning about the unsustainability of AAA (Shawn Layden spoke about this constantly) and now are trying GAAS. I'm okay with Gaas if it helps to support their traditional output as long as they don't release traditional games less often.Hahaha sony being gunshy all of a sudden. Almost as if after looking at Bungie maybe going gaas to the max is a bad idea.
Are these 12 from Sony studios? Are Xbox studios delaying GaaS and people are shitting on them? Or is it because they can't, in fact, manage their studios properly?
Niche games are niche, they still have place in gaming industry. Vanillaware games don’t sale high numbers but they still continue make games because they are passionate about their work.
Problem is MOST of the time companies making those GAAS/live service to purely make money instead of giving fun experiences to players.
Yes..Neogaf don't cares but other 95% of the world cares & they supporting it with their wallets. If you don't jump the train in time you are risking to be left out in the dust. Sony is grate at making single player story games but development cost/time vs revenue is marginal vs yearly profits of GAAS games. Good gass game can provide steady profit for years.
Every company making and selling video games is doing it to make money. If they were doing it just to give fun experiences to players they'd be doing it for free. There's no altruism at play here. They have no choice but to try to make games fun otherwise people won't give them money.
I'm sure you understand why they have credits. They delivery great games every year for more than 10 years instead MS is always promisses for next year.I can only imagine how much "doom and gloom" would be here on GAF if Xbox would came with statement "we delayed 6 out of 12 games."

I’m not saying devs don’t want to make money but you don’t become game developers just to make money, same way people don't become painter for the money, you hope to making money from doing something you love.
I think they could do like ... 3.
Are you serious? Do you have a Xbox or just using an invisible one in an alternative universe?
96 and that is my final offer
The difference being xbox dont have the history of output of lots of recent high rated titles from first party studiosI can only imagine how much "doom and gloom" would be here on GAF if Xbox would came with statement "we delayed 6 out of 12 games."

The news here is that they're still going in that direction, just slower.
Same as you mate, I'm a single player only guy, only online I'll do is for dark souls type games. But I must disagree though, they make a shit load of revenue and profit from what they're already doing, what they're doing is trying to find something to jump on the gaas bandwagon which admittedly will increase revenue. But I'm a playstation fan and consumer and not a shareholder, I only care that they make enough money for what they are good at, and they already are. If anything god of war and Spiderman are selling better than ever so I'd still say single player is the way to go
You are right GaaS are there to make money but the current line up of GaaSs' had to do something special to survive and continue to be relevant and I think that has a lot to do with how they play. We know all to well the numerous games that have failed and no longer exist and I take a little comfort that at least a developer has to put some effort into the game or it wont survive.
Football supporters have us living rent free for decades after 20 titles and 3 champions leagues and 13 FA cups. Some say they'll never recover.
I have one and besides forza horizon they are still missing gems 90+ aaa games.
