what would change if this "flopped"

• they arent going to shutdown the studio
• no sequel announced so you cant cancel that
  -they have separate partnerships

if this doesnt live up to the sales you set in your head what is going to happen

"they will bring it to playstation 6"

brother xbox and playstation arent really on the best terms right now overall. So why do you think thats going to happen at all

Xbox and PlayStation arent on good terms yet the same playstation fans keep saying "xbox needs playstation"

so I keep asking "do they"?

They brought halo to PlayStation. Xbox themselves said it’s a game by game basis. It’s not that crazy. They need money over friendship.

Halo and gears reloaded were Satya moves and they didnt do well sales wise with an GIANT INSTALL BASE

"We've been encouraging him to make this game for years"

"Okay, i'll make it"

"Never mind"

still can't get over this

I mean they went to Kojima just making games for them to making OD for Xbox and OD going to be exclusive and OD while I would love late next year still probably 2028 . so he wouldnt be able to drop Physint for Playstation til 2030 while they are still paying for developmennt of it for the next 4 years.

Kojima was taking money away from possible future live service/Horizon games so he had to be let go

Single player games xbox offers dont do well enough on playstation to justify s***ting on your own brand. Besides Elder Scrolls which I could see going multiplatform but I think should at least be a timed exclusive if you want to make your console ( Helix) install base go up

Nah from first party studio games Guerilla games whatever they have next that isnt Horizon coop game, Wolverine Sequel or X men game that will be out around the same time it would take for Physint, Last of Us 3, Uncharted continuation

A lot of boo boo titles there too lol

What a silly post

lowkey he was helping the Horizon games because his studio was helping with the development of the Decima engine lol

the toughest part is I wish they learned from that PT moment. Especially since money on a deal like this would have been better used getting Konami to let Kojima make PT especially since they winded up paying for townfall being exclusive for a year anyway

OD is almost certainly gonna be what PT was going to be, just without the Silent Hill branding

I am not denying that and think a Kojima game and Elder Scrolls worth much more than that. I am saying in regards to "playstation has a large install base" a large install base doesnt change people are going to play what they want to play. If a game stays exclusive for some that will be enough for them to get an xbox . If Xbox wants to increase their install base they would at least do timed exclusive there is no benefit to doing day and date at all

it's because his relationship with Sony is not still good. It's just Sony lying through their teeth about it to save face in what is very obvious bad PR (at a time where they have unprecedented bad PR)

Exactly and Sony not getting that is crazy to me. Especially since it was announced 2022 in partnership then 2 years later sony announced their partnership. When whole time death stranding 1 and 2 it seemed they were close with bro

But what even possibly happened if death stranding 1 did more than they could have ever expected and death stranding 2 did about what they probably expected death stranding 1 to do

again forget physint he choosing to do films with XBOX AND NOT PLAYSTATION

when Xbox hasnt had any success with tv or film

Bro if I didn’t know any better, i’d think somebody named Sony f***ed ya’ll b**** lol

I just miss PS2 and PS3 Sony lol

I get Gen Atlas either way

People are really out here acting like a new Kojima stealth action game likely starring an A-list actor is gonna be some massive risk for success to the studio that was funding Death Stranding.

I love Death Stranding. But it's a sci-fi package delivery sim. The sequel to that is gonna be a sequel to a package delivery sim. I don't know what Sony was expecting outside of similar performance to the first game (or less, because it's on a console less people have and it's a sequel lol). If DS2 cost them money, you'd think that them locking in Physint before DS2 even came out was a sign that they were ready for a safe way to make it back after giving him a lot of freedom.

DS2 did a lot less than DS1 but DS1 was on so many various platforms that had larger install bases and more people gaming during a pandemic.
