What might Sony have in store? Expectations were sky high following a string of blockbusters over the past few years, all of which were largely detailed before the console's launch. What was next? Sony told us a few game names, showed a few CGI trailers, but ultimately these were just glimpses
Nexon has released its financial statement for 2024's first quarter, and it looks like FPS The Finals isn't proving the hit the studio was hoping for.
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
A renowned industry insider has suggested the rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase featuring Silent Hill 2 could happen this week.
Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.
Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.
Going in with no expectations but likely will see something that resonates with me.
Nah they will announce it probably, but it won't happen right away soon though yes.
I am glad someone else is pointing this out, Sony's first party must be in development hell right now. We have seen multiple projects cancelled and are being told to keep waiting. I mean what happened to Factions?
Sony seriously need to considering replacing their management teams because someone has dropped the ball.
There was even insiders talking about how the showcase was getting delayed internally because their first party developers weren't ready.
Well I watched the showcase and the only developer who was ready was Insomniac Games with Spider-Man 2. So where are all these other first party devs that are ready? I saw CGI trailers from Haven, Bungie, and Firewalk Studios for what appears to be multiplayer GaaS games I'm not buying. So yeah definitely disappointed and underwhelmed by Sony's first party presence at the showcase.
It’s interesting to see Tom Phillips,a well known Xbox supporter, have this opinion about a PS showcase.
Very interesting.
it seems that way but in the end was more than enough, they display SpiderMan 2, announced MGS3, the phantom ninja game looked amazing, helldivers 2 out nowhere appeared and it look great as well, and lots of other games too like Alan Cake 2, it was a pretty solid showcase imo, yes it was lacking alot more first partly titles, and lots of third party was shown and everyone think it was a letdown, but for this year it will be great for Sony.
Now that other thing nobody is talking is that first party devs are already in the works of the next IP and this is known and confirmed, for example ND, SuckerPunch, Insomniac besides SpiderMan, Guerrilla and who knows who else Im missing here, what Im trying to say is that these new IPs will probably come next year and so Sony already has on its pockets 2024 as well for gaming imo.
