Ex- employees Hope Studio Gets "Consolidated Into Sony"
Former Bungie employees speak out in a new report, blaming greed and leadership for the studio’s troubles, and say full Sony consolidation is the best way forward.
Interesting article, even with some actual names of the people voicing their thoughts.
I think that we've had enough similiar situations at other studios and publishers already, hell even completely different businesses, to know that OF COURSE it's always about hostile environments at work and the search for rather effortless profits than causing excitment with great ideas.
All deflecting statements, wether from managements or other people in charge, have always, literally always been untruthful. Always.
And it's so silly.
Nothing of this crap causes a nuclear war.
But all the people in charge act like everything is top secret f'n CIA like intel, trying everything to not stand up for their mistakes.
I mean it's pathetic, it really is. In the brand scheme of it all it's truly pathetic.
Clash of Clans and Clash Royale are getting the Arcane treatment thanks to an exciting new partnership between Netflix and Supercell.
Ilari Kuittinen and Gregory Louden of Returnal developer Housemarque have revealed during an interview with Eurogamer at the studio’s 30th anniversary event last week that it has no plans to develop live-service or free-to-play games, “as long as people are buying premium games.”
Didn't stop Sony after acquiring Bluepoint, taking them from renowned remaster and remake quality and sticking them on a GoW live service title that never even went anywhere.
I can't speak to what gives Housemarque the ability to be different, but let's be thankful that they are able to do so in wake of current Sony.
Well whats different about Housemarque which Sony also owns that they can tell Sony what they will and wont do but the others couldn't?
That GoW live service game was the dumbest idea ever. I thought they were remaking Bloodbourne or a Demons souls expansion (covering that broken arch stone). Sony was really panicked after that abk/Microsoft news hit. I hope it was a side project for Bluepoint and that there's another one in the pipeline. That GoW game apparently never got off the ground.
Blaming Sony for pursuing Live Service when the top 5 games every month by spend and engagement are live service games is illogical. Gamers are telling Sony where to invest so there is a real disconnect between what is said online and what people actually play. Who should Sony listen to? Clearly the logical decision is to listen to people actually playing games and whether we like it or not Sony would be in vioulation of it duty to its investors if it didn't try to pursue LS. People taking out their fustrations on Live Service games by attacking Sony and using it as the industry whipping boy does not fix the industry. You are just telling the rest of the industry that they can keep doing what they are doing because they aren't called Sony. All I hear people say is that they hate live service but every single month the top games are live service. You are all either lying or you don't know what you are talking about. Sony should pursue both SP and live service games.
This is cool, but I had to uninstall because the online game keeps giving me a server error. It's been happening for almost a year and the Star doesn't seem to be bothered with it.
Sad to see the state of rdr2 online overall these days the single player game was incredible and my goty on launch and something I still consistently went back to playing over the following two years.
Rdr online had so much potential imo but rockstar let it go stale and giving a few bundles here and there is t going to fix it. The roles they introduced were ok for level grinding I got to level 50 quickly with treasure hunting but struggled to maintain any interest in it after that point.
Game needs to take a note from GTA v and introduce heists or something like that to make the game more interesting the missions were great but good luck trying to solo play them
Is Red Dead Online worth getting into?
Given that player numbers are far eclipsed by GTA Online, I wonder would SP DLC have been more viable? Seems such a shame to me that such an awe-inspiring world has no more real, single player stories to tell.
