Dont give a single fuck about Until Dawn but anything that shows sony trash gaas initiative failing is good for me.

Did Sony actually learn something from Concord's failure

So hold on, let me get this straight...

You people bitch and moan about Sony investing in Live Service games... Fire sprite (a dev Sony bought specifically to make GaaS, therefore taking nothing away from those devs who continue to make SP games) attempts two Live Service projects and both get cancelled...

...Sony puts them to work on Until Dawn 2, which is a SP only game...

...and you people still continue to bitch and moan?!?

If you're not just being intellectually dishonest or trolling... WTF do you want?!

WTF was Sony supposed to learn from Concord that is not already reflected in Sony taking their GaaS-only dev who failed on two projects and putting them to work on a SP game?!

I don't even... I can't...

At least this guy is logically consistent.

Until Dawn remake was a piece of shit and showed that nobody really cares about this "franchise" (it's not a franchise, just a good game). Hermen Hulst yet again proving he has no taste and no understanding of what people like.

What am I bitching and moaning about? I'm expressing surprise that Sony is actually doing what their fans want!

Until Dawn 2 may be a VR game then no? Could have potential.

You actually have miseed
Canselled spiderman gaas game
Cancelled London studio gaas game
Truly fuc. Hirman hulst and his cunt managers who let him in his position until now

Also Deviation Studios. Bought and shut the down the studio already.

Amazingly, their Twitter page is still up but their home page is dead. For those of you who dont know, their home page had nothing to even do with making games. It was all about company bowling, scavenger hunts and watching movies. I dont think there was one thing on the entire website that even had anything to do with working on a game. It was more like one of those corporate event companies you hire to do an afternoon BBQ for the floor to make the employees happy with free food.

One thing I;ve noticed is when Sony buys out a studio straight up without some kind of past partnership deal first, it fails hard. But if they do a few games together first then acquire them it goes much better.

Who is that person and why should we believe them?

Tbf, the way your post was worded it was a little ambiguous what you were saying.

Makes sense now.

I highly doubt that. Concord alone sunk about $400M-$500M.

So unless Helldivers 2 magically recouped that much to cover just Concords failure, there's no way Sony is up on GAAS.

Helldivers 2 probably made well over that. It crossed 12 million sold 7 months ago (so surely pass 20 million at this point, or close to it) and has micro transactions on top of that.

At this point there are only 2-3 Sony exclusives left this ENTIRE generation
