all they have to do is start pumping out more high quality AA titles. something like a ape escape remake or even a new title would be a nice start

yeah your opinion just different

There is a reason he left for Gendesign before studio japan close

there is also a reason Last Guardian development was so troubled

I dont see anything wrong, sony Is really bad at fostering ips, in the sense that they self every potential series that doesnt sell well, despite a potential being there. And even then, there's nothing wrong with having niche titles on your portfolio. I'll never understand letting the studio behind cult classics like ico, sotc, both gravity rushes and last guardian close down because they didnt make them a lot of money, when all these games helped give early playstation prestige. You already have gow, spiderman and horizon to cover costs, a lower budget gravity rush is not ruining your business, attempts like concord are.
But you cannot have this discussion without mentioning how sony has trained their audience, because i think thats the root of the issue. If you promise them and always give them 3rd person Hollywood budget story driven action adventure games (with the appreciated exceptions like astro, returnal and gran turismo), your audience is not gonna be open to a sly cooper or the before mentioned gravity rush. Ratchet and Clank survived because they made a movie and the newest game is very pixar-like, so more palatable.

As always, and i know ima sound like a stan, look how Nintendo does it and you'll understand why they're unfuckwitable when it comes to first party offerings🤐

I don’t get the “those games don’t make money” argument. Sony excels at niche titles. It’s what defined them before.

They already have their cash cows, just keep pumping out TLOU, Borizon, Spider-Slop and God of Snore. For every one of these entries that are successful, you can release 1-2 smaller budget beloved franchise games. Maybe catch some critical acclaim and good WOM and turn those into high selling titles. This satisfies everybody and diversifies your catalog in a big way

I know it’s not a Sony exclusive, but MHW is a great example of a niche franchise becoming a titan seemingly overnight

I am telling you not asking game companies care about live service because they dont want you to get a dmt trip

they dont give a f*** if you cry to a game

they want you to get a hit of crack and keep coming back

buying the merch, the lego set, the tv show, the skins

they want you to make a game your entire personality and preach the gospel about it

My friend is like that with TLOU. He’s bought all the games including remaster, collecters edition etc. wish I could smack some sense into him or at least get him to buy actual cool s***

well yeah trauma is a smart market to trigger someone to make it their entire personality

look at vegans with factory farming videos

its smart

that or "look a father figure " "Grief" look how serious we are

but you can do all of that with a game being fun rather than it trying so hard to evoke an emotion out of you
