Naughty Dog should go back to one of its first hit classics - Crash Bandicoot. Which games in the series should they go back to?
Founder of Metal: Hellsinger studio says he wasn't against Game Pass until their game launched on Microsoft's service, which affected game sales.
Why did PS copy gamepass if it's so terrible and unprofitable? PS Now was before gamepass but it was streaming trash that no one had any interest in.
And honestly the way the industry releases overpriced and broken games with day one season passes and dlc who wouldn't want to just pay for a subscription instead of $70 per game?
Only biased PS fans would defend paying more to a corporation rather than an option that's cheaper for the consumer overall. If it's from an indie studio that needs the sales that's different but games published by larger companies are fine on a subscription model. Also any of these devs who complain did decide to put their games on gamepass in thr first place.
I feel no sympathy for the guy, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that putting your game on gamepass would affect sales.
The 'day-one' feature is the breaker or maker with GP, business-wise.
GP is no Netflix.
Because, from all the Marvel's Avengers to Sicarios, illustratively speaking, they all had their box office money. Before they had entered Netflix.
This concept shows you what Microsoft have actually put themselves into.
And what situation studios put themselves into if they go day-one into GP.
Why not sell your game the traditional way first? Then after about 6 months to a year put it on a sub service.
Day one on gamepass is a gamble. It works for some (Pal world) and not for others.

Looks like a Skyrim clone. Very interesting if done well.
What is turkish mythology? They don't have a mythology of their own. Unless we are going to rewrite history? Can someone fill us in on what mythology turkey has.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino teases the future of FIFA games in a brand-new interview, and NBA 2K24 studio 2K Games might be behind it.
Hmmm, let’s see how they do. If they riddle it with microtransactions, hell no. Otherwise, I’m excited.
It would be nice. They have two teams now so if one does something realistic like the Last of Us while the second does fun, colourful platforming games then it could work and help keep each release feel fresh.
Hell you could incorporate a Crash Bash styled multiplayer to Crash if they wanted.
ND aren't into creating games like Crash anymore
Sounds like they want to keep the simplicity. I'm all for the revival of Crash, but it really seems off course for modern day Naughty Dog. Just feels like a step backwards. They've moved past Crash and I, personally, see it as underutilizing their current prowess.
The fact is, Naughty Dog is doing astonishing work as is. They have shown a very powerful talent doing what they do now. Sony has plenty of other studios that are up to the task. Heck, why not tap a long time partner like Insomniac to handle it?
Then there's the matter of simplicity as the author suggests. I actually worry that if the mechanics are too simple (as they were back then) it wouldn't do well by modern standards. It'd have to do something cool to make it successful. I wouldn't mind Naughty Dog acting as a consulting figure to pitch ideas to the developing studio, but having them make it? No doubt it'd be great, but again, just feels like a waste.
To put it into PlayStation terms, it would be like playing God of War II with the Blade of Olympus on the easiest difficulty. Perceivable overkill.
Naughty Dog ain't going back. They just ain't.
This is going to be produced by them at the very most, with a developer like Sanzaru being contracted for it.
The last of us 2 with a amazing story and another new ip with a amazing story they tell the best stories bring it on ND
