No, the already planned GaaS will be released. They may add one more to replace the cancelled TLOU Online.

Jim Ryan wasn't the one who greenlighted most of these GaaS, and the big majority of games we know were greenlighted by him and Hermen aren't GaaS.

Whoever is the next CEO will continue the successful strategy -which predates Jimbo- of expanding SIE's business to GaaS and beyond console (PC, mobile and movies/tv shows etc) while also expanding their console business and non-GaaS games, and trying to grow in large and fastest growing markets as China or India (and pretty likely LATAM will follow after them).

Mobile has the majority of players and revenues, and GaaS as busines model also has the majority of players and revenue. So obviously Sony will want to grow there.

People talking about how the game looks, when I am more curious about the gameplay actually being good.

I can find clips and screenshots online, that doesn't require me to buy the game.

On page 2 I posted all the footage so far. Including a 2020 test footage video without the cuts you see in the other trailers in which the combat looks solid despite being early in development.

Then why does Sony refer to it as a console exclusive?

I don't know if people who say bad things about Golden Axe Beast Rider actually played the game.

Its super solid and fun, the counter/kill mechanics are great...Also remembers me Heavenly Sword.

Give it a try. I liked a lot!

The game was just average compared to what came out around it. I don't think Rogue Ops is bad either, but both it and Golden Axe are the definition of what Easy Allies Huber would say are 'swimming in 7s'...mediocre games that you can find a little fun out of if you're bored or I guess horny. Another one I can think of is 'Death by Degrees' starring Nina from Tekken. Simple 2000 series games had some too, like Onechanbara.

Idk if I'd necessarily call this AAA. I think this is the AA people clamor for. Surprise! It's still $70!

Returnal was badged as a AAA game but I raised an eyebrow at that. It was clearly done with less resources and not expected to sell 10M+.

A double-a game can not just look really good, but be priced and promoted as a premium product. Launching it with less promotion and a cheaper price is not necessarily the best way to make a game like this financially viable. It sounds more intuitive that the game would be cheaper to buy if it's cheaper to make but that's not necessarily so if you want the game to be made at all.

the design of the last character in one of the trailer is superb. The face has a more realistic proportions and the suit is just something that you only see in those character illustrations/concept arts floating on Pinterest.

I looped that part too many tines. I hope that thick character is in final game.
That game really looks like it should be played in Korean. so good.
All the cool stuff, skulls and robot parts are so kojima-like. fantastic

Naw they're just going to market the hell out of the game and will probably do a nice PS5 bundle over there as well. They still want to capture potential console buyers before PC in Korea.

So what games did Jim Ryan Greenlight? Because it seems like some people don't want to credit or discredit him with anything.

What exactly is the Jim Ryan era?

As reference you can check the games they released after he became CEO in February 2019 and count the games these dev teams (dev team doesn't mean studio) are doing since then, these are the games greenlighted by him (same goes with Hermen). Following this logic he'd have greenlighted:

MLB starting (likely 21 or later ones), Bend's next IP, Death Stranding DC, Death Stranding 2, Media Molecule's next game, ND's 2 or more SP games under development, GoWR Valhalla + next GoW set in a new mythology, GoT DC, GoT2 or whatever Sucker Punch is doing after GoT, Wolverine, X-Men, next Ratchet, Spider-Man 3, Horizon Forbidden shores, whatever HFW team is doing after it (probably Horizon 3, because Horizon Online started in 2018 so he didn't greenlight it), Team Asobi's upcoming 3D action platformer with humor bigger than the Astros, Housemarque's next game, whatever the Legacy of Thieves/TLOUP1 teams are doing now (at least TLOUP1 started before 2019), Gran Turismo 8 or whatever Polyphony is doing now, whatever Horizon CoM team is doing now, Deviation's game, Ballistic Moon (former Until Dawn/Supermassive devs) game. Plus unknown 1st/2nd games we may not know are under developent.

Games like Destiny 2, Marathon, Matter, Stellar Blade, Fairgame$ instead were already under development before (he didn't greenlight them) but he signed them for Sony so could be partially counted, or not. Games like Rise of the Ronin or Helldivers 2, Horizon Online, GT7, Firewalk's game, TLOUP1 were already under development before February 2019 so where greenlighted by someone else. TLOU Online and London Studio's next IP maybe were greenlighted somewhere in 2019 (or maybe before). Since Firesprite has been working on multiple games since many years ago we have no idea when their game were greenlighted.

The period he has been CEO, from February 11, 2019 to March 31, 2024.

I think there's too much concern about Sony's influence on the game considering they've shown two trailers at two big Playstation events with the physical features on display lol.

It also looks like the protag has multiple constumes looking at the footage from the 3 trailers. So if Sony was being funny about the design then they could just market the game with the character wearing a less revealing costume. 🤷‍♂️

I'm enjoying the wait to see these chinese (wukong) and korean games get put in the spotlight like this. Hopefully they turn out good and kick something off. Best case scenario it could be like a new region to expect good games from. Specifically, good games with (listen to your heart) great graphics and good design/content. And what if they are less encumbered than more established outfits? Can they get a sequel out in less that four fucking years?
