THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF PLAY
>"game" company tries to make an actual game
>uhhh sorry we decided to stop development
you can't make this shit up
Why? Blizzard did the exact same thing
Except TLOU1 actually had a multiplayer mode on PS3 at launch and it was good and it was then removed from all "remastered" versions because they fired anyone who knew how to make a game.
Yeah this seems like a pretty big deal: an official statement that it's not worth it to put up multiplayer servers with the development costs of modern AAA if you can't also get a mentally ill rich kid somewhere to spend $1000 on the game
If something is not part of a game at launch then just assume it's never being added. Quit falling for the lies and promises of the gaming industry.

Did TLOU2 flop?
please dont reply to bait posts anon
It sold 10 million in 2 years after 4 million in 1st weekend sales.
It flopped spectacularly.
Maybe worst legs in the history of big entertainment launches, worst than Batman V Superman
>$166 million in the United States and Canada in its opening weekend, the eighth-biggest opening of all time, ahead of The Dark Knight Rises' $160.9 million
>worldwide opening of $422.5 million, which stands as the second-biggest for Warner Bros. and the fifth-biggest of all time at the time of its release
>became the fourth film to have a global opening above $400 million
>had an IMAX worldwide opening weekend total of $36 million from 945 IMAX screens, the third-biggest ever, behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($48 million) and Jurassic World ($44 million)
>Warner Bros. US distribution chief Jeff Goldstein described the film's box office performance as a "fantastic result, by any measure"
>Box office analyst Jeff Bock said "Still, outside of Christopher Nolan's two Dark Knight movies, and Tim Burton's Batman films when you adjust for inflation, this is the highest-grossing property in DC's bullpen thus far. It tops Man of Steel by more than $200 million,"
>The film needed to reach $800 million in revenue at the box office to "recoup its investment" according to financial analysts. Despite surpassing this amount, it was considered "a disappointment" for failing to reach $1 billion.
>Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice grossed $330.4 million in North America and $543.3 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $873.6 million, making it the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2016
>Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $105.7 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film.
In what world BvS was a flop exactly?
How are you calling The Marvels then?
Compared to the first one, yes.
In terms of sales, no.
In terms of the franchise's future, yes.
They will use the second season of the TV show and just retcon most of 2's story.
>Retcon 2’s plot
Didn’t they retcon the plot of the first game in the first season to justify the things that’s going to happen in 2? I heard they made Joel a less sympathetic character in the show
I didn't watch it and I couldn't care less.
Druckmann should just take this opportunity and frick off from making games.
They tried their hardest to spin the narrative to be more in line with 2’s retcon bs. Joel is le evil bad guy for saving Ellie so they play le heckin sad music. And Ellie is a sadistic psychopath who gets “activated” by violence. There’s probably more but I only fully saw the first ep and snippets of other eps.
It’s hilarious tho cus despite trying to spin the narrative they got the exact opposite reaction of what they wanted, everyone loved Joel and thought he did the right thing. The cherry on top is now they’re fricked no matter what they do, if they change season 2’s plot at all it’s an admission that part 2 isn’t as perfect as these gays claim, and if they keep it the same we’ll see the same backlash we saw 3 years ago
mathematicaly speaking yes
I think Sony 1st party games are loss leaders no? They dont care about the profits of their 1st party games as they are just used to get people to buy PS5 and buy 3rd party games in large amounts.
No, they do care now.
COD is with Xbox now, so they won't get the preferential cut they used to get from activision, every penny spent on PS5 Cod MS will get a cut from.
It's actually over for real this time.
Unless MARATHON is the Halo/COD/Fortnite of the 2020s.
Afraid so
The Last Jedi syndrome. "It made money, chud!" Then everything afterwards shows the death of the franchise.

Too bad for the 3 xirs who eagerly cared and wanted the TLoU multiplayer
>Who can reply?

It is supposedly adults that work their. I weep for the future.
>we’d have to put all our studio resources behind supporting post launch content for years to come
>become a solely live service games studio or continue to focus on single-player narrative games that have defined Naughty Dog’s heritage
Why are these morons unable to make a multiplayer game that's NOT live service bullshit?
Also frick Naughty Dog’s "heritage". Where's Jak and Daxter 4?
Do you really want current year Naughty Dog making Jak 4 and destroying its legacy?
>wanting modern ND to make a Jak game
Naughty Dog died when these 2 left
No, it died when they realized putting gay shit in games sold like hot cakes
Good.
"we realized you fricks will buy a remaster of a 4 year old game so why the frick would we waste our time making a whole new game?"
Fricking sony slop fans deserve everything they get
>In ramping up to full production, the massive scope of our ambition became clear. To release and support The Last of Us Online we’d have to put all our studio resources behind supporting post launch content for years to come, severely impacting development on future single-player games. So, we had two paths in front of us: become a solely live service games studio or continue to focus on single-player narrative games that have defined Naughty Dog’s heritage.
What kind of mindset is that? Of course they would have known since day one that a MP would be supported for a long time. I bet they saw that no one cares about the MP aspect and it would flop big time, so they cut their losses and move on.
Its just buzzwords so the snoys at moronera and Reddit can soiface and scream "SEE? SINGLEPLAYER GOOD THANK YOU NAUGHTY GOD!!"
It’s insane that they’re selling this as an idea that was impossible to control the scope of and simply had yo be canned outright. You don’t get this far into a project and just now realize how much it would take to support it. And if it was just that, pare it back and release a standalone package. No one has a gun to your head to make it GaaS. Anyone who believes this decision at a crossroads shit is an idiot
They’re already sucking them off over it
probably a lot of back and forth and infighting
Sony bought Bungie to be consultants for TLOU Online and they basically got a finished and working project shitcanned before it even got out the door. Bungie shit up not only Destiny but TLOU as well now, this company seriously needs to die.
>Meanwhile our game is thriving
Halo Kangs... WE WON
Live service garbage is a plague, better for it to die than come out in the state it was in
halo is even more pathetic
shut up snoy.
Anither one joins the ACK
id go on there and blast him but doing that would put more last of us dogshit in my timeline
His profile is private
shocking
How's he coping?
his account is private so you tell me
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
They are focusing on the new open world sci-fi game. It wont come out for years though.
He's jerking off to this.
Ovo here, Keep malding snoytroon,
Its joever for live service games
What support? All you had to do was re-release Factions you fricking israeli twat
God fricking damn it the servants of Moloch are getting uppity again
why update old thing when people will by the same game for no reason
Fricking seriously. I just want Factions 2. it could be the exact same as 1 but now I can crawl. Jesus frick, this was the easiest shit ever for them.
>In ramping up to full production, the massive scope of our ambition became clear.

Complete lie. I bet you anything it turned out shit and this is a cope to try and keep the fans on their side.
how the frick is it a lie that it takes manpower to make a game? All they're saying is they'd rather spend it on single player games rather than a game they've already sold.
They employ 400+ people. Either they came up with the most ambitious MP game of all time and somehow had no idea it would take so much work (i.e. they are complete morons, which I suppose is possible), or the end result turned out poorly, so they are telling people that the reason is that they want to commit to Singleplayer games, which they know people like to hear. (Much simpler explanation)
>rather than a game they've already sold
What?
I'm sure that when they started this live service project they totally didn't know they would have to maintain it and they only learned that when they had enough of it done to realize it was shit
live service games need hundreds of people. They'd need to hire a lot more and Sony is penny pinching now.
>live service games need hundreds of people
That's a corporate lie.
You think games like Fortnite and CoD have less than 200 people?
You're literally talking about 2 of the biggest live service games out there.
They have a couple hundred by they
A: Don't need that many. These dev teams are bloated as frick.
B: Are an exception, not the norm.
You still do need a lot of people to make content and its not even content they can share with the single player game they are making right now. Yea they could have released a battle royale game and have a skeleton crew run it but no one would keep playing it if there isn't any new content.
Rockstar supports GTA Online and still pushes out as many games as naughty dog (which is like 2) and the games are far bigger in scope too
Then don't make it live service. Make a fun PvP DLC for TLOU2 so you can play as different characters from the story in slightly modified maps from the campaign, like they did for the Uncharted games. It doesn't have to be a years-long masterpiece that requires the manpower of 20000 people to keep going.
More like Sony told them to get their shit together and make a fricking game that's ready to ship within the next 18 months. They're working on TLOU 3 and a new IP. ND has known internally for months now Factions 2 was a dead project.
Well, time to remake The Last of Us Part II, I guess.
Um, i dunno how to tell you this....
I said remake, so gays can buy it once more after they consoom the "remaster"
Is the AAA model finally collapsing under its own weight?
Why not put out the stuff first and let the maintenance on other studios, say Bungie or Bend?
Annoying. Factions was the best thing Naughty Dog had made since the first Jak and Daxter.
How the frick was TLOU2 so financially successful yet this completely fricking shat the bed?
It didnt shit the bed, they just dont need to do it now that people are gonna buy the shit out of a 4 year old game remaster
jimbo's live service initiative, probably why he got sacked
Why do game studios write messages as if they’re talking to an 8-year-old boy and telling them their mom died?
have you talked to a trans person in the past 3 years? saying hi to them offends them these days
Because it is written by women, gays and trannies
>2013 Last of Us 1
>2016 Uncharted 4
>2020 Last of Us 2
These games made 3 games in a fricking decade and it’s linear single player shit too.
Why does it need to be live service? Why not just online game that comes out and never gets new updates? PS360 era games did this and it wasnt an issue.
Because they can't israelite it up that way. Please understand.
im guessing it started out as factions 2, then someone at sony asked them to turn it into GaaS nonsense, it didn't work, and now that Jim Ryan's gone they got the go-ahead to kill it.
But I thought the heckin Last of Us 2 was a commercially successful masterpiece, what happened sisters???? Why did Druckmann fail us like this????
The absolute state of play
>we decided to keep making movie games instead of becoming a GAS game developer
Monkey paw strikes again.
>comments turned off
lmao what a bunch of cowardly israelites
>Factions is the only online game Snoykeks have to look forward to
>Dedicated NaughtySloppers looked forward to it pre-TLOU2
>Microsoft buys Bethesda
>Sony panics and buys Bungie
>Snoys celebrate this as a symbolic "own" against Microsoft
>Bungie winds up being the trojan horse that gets the nearly finished game completely scrapped
>Bungie's business model, the same model they got hired to judge Factions against, results in their expac flopping and mass layoffs happening
>Microsoft buys Activision
It's over.
Factions was actually good for the record.
>Bungie still has loyalty and ties to Microsoft and Halo so they fricked over Sony in retaliation of what Paul Harrison and Don Matrick did to Xbox
Imagine, kek
I don't even think its that I think they're just fricking incompetent.
>work on a multiplayer component for years
>towards the end of development realise that online multiplayer games require people to keep or running
Wtf?
I cannot even comprehend this level of incompetence
So is live service shit going away now?
No. Snoy simply don't have the means to shit all these GAAS flops out.
>We're going to say we'd have to 100% become a GAAS dev if we wanted to support the game.
>In reality execs told us we'd have to probably go toe-to-toe with fortnite for metrics or we'd all get laid off so we'll smother the baby in the cradle to protect our morals and livelihood.
Didn't we already know its cancelled?
Yeah, but Sony and ND are just being wishy-washy about it, now it's official.
>another 'Tarkov killer' down
How many does that make now?
you dont understand anon they couldnt finish the multiplayer because they were busy making the last of us remastered remake 2
Well anon would you say its over?
i thought sony was after live service games? is naughty dog so powerful that they can refuse the order from on high?
as an actual fan of this series I'm pretty disappointed. here's hoping whatever they make next is something worth the wait I guess.
Smart decision. No need to force another Fallout 76 catastrophe. They should just keep making the movie games their audience likes.
>can't support this game's multiplayer mode
>but we *could* support the multiplayer in The Last of Us 1, and Uncharted 2-4 for the past 10 fricking years
Every single modern "AAA" game studio is incompetent beyond belief and should stop making games. These gays could've simply copy+pasted the multiplayer from the first game and called it a day. It takes talent to frick up this bad.
Why couldnt they just release a multiplayer like the first TLOU had? Why did they have to make it some huge experience gaas shit?
Money.
Sony knows it'll be costly to restructure. They know their only GAAS studio is incompetent know and that GAAS is dying. They know it'll be costly to maintain with events to maintain player retention because these kinds of games need constant new content to stay alive. PS5 hardware sales have been strong, I think they honestly just want to focus on GTA6 and other third party marketing at this point and scale down on first party games.
>GAAS is dying
What shit cope is this?
COD and Fortnite just had their bigges MP year to date, same for Minecraft.
GT7 is doing well thoughbeit
The established, big GaaSes are fine, it's becoming increasingly difficulty to pierce the GaaS market for newcomers
GT7 isn't really a GAAS game.
could have fooled me
In what way? Or are you just regurgitation the stupid shit you saw being shitposted on Ganker?
it has always online, microtransactions, and semi-frequent updates
Yes, it's basically Sport which wasn't a GAAS game either and the mtx are a joke. You get credits out the ass for just playing the game. The grind in previous titles was much harder and those weren't online.
>you don't have to pay for them, you can use in game currency!
yes I've heard this one before
Jim Ryan needed to shart out his live service initiative before he left
A good GAAS game fricking prints money and TLoU mp was extremely good. It would've almost certainly been a hit.
Whatever they struggled with, I doubt it was gameplay. The leaked stuff looked very similar to the original game. I think they had trouble to increase the scope of that + content roadmap and monetization. Basically cancer killed the patient which is a shame.
You didn't hear about earlier this year when they released some artwork and descriptions of the multiplayer experience they were making? It wasn't just regular multiplayer, they had Kojima tier ideas about some big openworld co-op multiplayer story on the scale of a full AAA game.
>In ramping up to full production, the massive scope of our ambition became clear. To release and support The Last of Us Online we'd have to put all our studio resources behind supporting post launch content for years to come, severely impacting development on future single-player games. So, we had two paths in front of us: become a solely live service games studio or continue to focus on single-player narrative games that have defined Naughty Dog's heritage.
They didn't want to turn into a Gaas studio.
Since the fricker is finally gone, they are free to go back to their movie games.
>SM2 gets no awards
>First party game trying something new gets canned
>Sony's big game for next year is a remake of a game that came out 3 years ago.
Are the Snoys going to finally wake up?
>Remake
What’s their next big game again?
The Last of Us Part I Remastered
2025
>Sony's big game for next year is a remake of a game that came out 3 years ago
Sony hasn't done their annual big showcase yet though. My bet is there will either be Wolverine, Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima 2 or most likely Spider-Man Miles Morales 2 for 2024.
>Spider-Man Miles Morales 2
Spider-Man 1 2 2
Still a lot more original content than Naughty Dog has been putting out.
Naughty Dog's output this gen has been two remasters, a remake of a remaster, and a cancelled game
Meanwhile Insomniac has already released two new games.
>working on Spider-Man, Wolverine and R&C all at the same time
Insomniac is a beast. Hope Sony is giving them the golden goose treatment that ND used to get.
>two new games
no it was two remasters as well
You're mixing last gen and this gen together. This gen is just 1 remaster and 1 canceled game so far.
Okay? So what happened? Post the full clip. I ain't clickin on no twitter shit
Now that this got canned, does Naughty Dog have something original coming up in the next couple years? They're going to skip the whole generation at this rate.
>Removed multiplayer from TLOU """"Remake"""" because TLOU online is being made
>Cancel the online game so now content was removed from an older game for no reason
Lmao... 4ThePlayers# XD!!
i had someone tell me the other day that "console gamers are the actual gamers, you pc gamers don't play games"
imagine having your experience just 100% dictated to you and telling yourself that you are an enthusiast.
How can anyone say that while Japs are mindbroken by how their laziest PC ports find huge success is a mystery.
this is fricking hideous, you just gave my eyes gonosyphiherperrhea
Most console owners are frauds that only play shit like CoD and the yearly sports games.
>CoD and the yearly sports games
This and whatever fotm game they see is popular. Normalgaygoys buy new thing, play them for a bit then move on to the next fotm game
They removed it not only from the tlou 1 remake but also tlou 2. Two titles missed out on multiplayer for a stand-alone version that got cancelled anyways
The Horizon remake will save Sony.
Somehow they saved themselves from turning into another Bungie or Respawn Entertainment.
oh frick off, all you had to do was make another factions mp and i would've bought tlou2...
you fricking morons, no one asked for another goddamn live service turd
yes, i'm fricking angry, fricking israelites, go have a nice day
>have a franchise that literally prints money
>constantly frick things up with it
It's actually impressive how incompetent Druckman is.
>Sorry making a game would cut into our current goal of remakes and tv shows #ForThePlayers
imagine being a snoy right now
It really took them 3+ years to realize they had to support their multiplayer-only game? Are these guys moronic?
It probably took them 3 years to try and convince the israelites that run Sony that it shouldn't be a GAAS and failed so they canceled it.
its more like some bean counter found out that Naughty Dog had no intention of turing the game into the next Apex legends or Cod Warzone and sony pulled the plug.
Reminder Sony wasted money on exclusive marketing rights to the Suicide Squad game lol.
>Console exclusivity for Forspoken
>Marketing rights for the Avatar game nobody cares about
>Spider-Man exclusivity in the Avengers game
>CoD marketing rights are gone after this year
Sony's batting average for third party deals is pretty fricking awful this gen.
its the sign of very very bad leadership that cannot recognise good vs bad vs uninteresting games anymore
Sony nailed third party marketing during the ps4 era, everything and i truly mean everything went to shit with jim ryan taking over
I miss this little homie like you wouldn't believe. For some reason the entire leadership got changed to morons. Probably thanks to California.
well ask yourself how many people living in California AREN'T moronic
One day I hope we get all the specifics about what went down during the leadership change, what with Layden being fired and escorted out of the building and Yoshida basically being demoted to an indie position. Makes me wonder if House saw the shitstorm coming and that's why bowed out early.
>sony hires bungie to go around every sony studio to judge how much money the games are going to make
>naughty dog gets forced to completely scrap last of us factions because bungie deems it not profitable enough
>1 year later bungie is on the verge of bankrupty and destiny is close to death
This is why jim ryan got fired
>bungie is on the verge of bankrupty and destiny is close to death
Extremely satisfying turn of events, glad people are finally getting sick of their shit, frick those israelites
>sony hires bungie to go around every sony studio to judge how much money the games are going to make
What?
bungie was hired for their GaaS expertise and got free reign to cancel or adjust other so y studios online games
bungie deemed fairgame$ as good and last of us online as not profitable enough
completely bonkers decisions
and now bungie is dying themselves too
This entire gen is a wash imo. Its a shit show with hardly any games.
https://www.naughtydog.com/blog/the_last_of_us_10th_anniversary_kickoff
lol. lmao.
>We’ll have some fun surprises for you along the way, but later this year we will begin to offer you some details on our ambitious The Last of Us multiplayer game.
Surprise the games canceled!
SONY lost this war months ago. Your snoys
are broken. Scattered. Hunted! DEFEATED. By me. I wish I could tell you it was difficult... but it wasn't.
We are one step ahead, ALWAYS! 2024 is already under our control. Soon, the Game Awards 2024 as well. BUNGIE and Microsoft share the same goal. We fight together, to destroy SNOY.
But... here you now stand.
This will be my last fight, a true test of legends! Our story will outlive us both!
SET A FIRE IN YOUR HEART, SNOY! BARE YOUR DILATOR! FIGHT HARD! Die well...
>It’s no secret that many of you are not only drawn to The Last of Us’ stories but also the game’s original Factions multiplayer. Since The Last of Us Factions’ release almost a decade ago, dedicated players have been vocal about an expansion upon that offering.
>However, we can finally announce that we’re creating something much larger than a mode. We’re thrilled to share a piece of concept art from our upcoming multiplayer experience, which is an extremely ambitious undertaking. We’re growing our studio significantly to ensure we build this full-scale, standalone game, with its massive scope and immense world, in a way that fans have come to expect from The Last of Us and Naughty Dog.
>We aim to make our newest entry into multiplayer inviting to new players while still a thrilling challenge for more of our seasoned fans. There will be more news to come next year, and we cannot wait to introduce you to the team behind this new experience!
>we cannot wait to introduce you to the team behind this new experience!
i hope sony cancels all their gaas games and refocuses. jim ryan was a blight and i want his influence gone, bring back the anime breasts too since even twitch allows those now.
>ps5 generation will have 1 new naughty dog game at the tailend of its generation and its most likely last of us 3
Has-been studio
And if it's not a prequel with Joel and Tommy then it's going to bomb harder than 2 did.
>its either live service or nothing in the year 2023
multiplayer is truly dead.
They FLED. VAMOOSED.
I fricking kneel.
they probably thought that making a multiplayer game was not just not worth enough since they are a propaganda storytelling company
They were at a crossroads. Of course they needed to allow players to make characters that represent their ethnically rich diversity... But then players would be allowed to kill them. Why can't only whites be killable? =/
It's just not their focus. Wasting time in... balance? server maintenance? reports? exploits?
So I guess the leak of a few weeks ago about tension between Sony and their studios because they refuse to be turned into GAAS factories was real.
You're making a game.
Hoping for fortune and fame.
but man watching your dev team code is hard work.
Sony is killing themselves harder than Xbox and it’s genuinely embarrassing that the masses give Sony a free pass.
They give Sony a free pass because Sony owns the entire gaming media sphere and a good chunk of the industry, too. They are TOLD to give Sony a free pass for shit they'd be parading Microsoft and Nintendo's corpses around
>what buying bungie does to your other studios
LEMAO
>We HAVE TO constantly make new DLC to nickle and dime our customers, and that's hard work!We also only realized this at the last minute.
What a fricking moronic excuse. They could just release a good game with minimal updates and no GaaS bullshit. Multiplayer games used to last for years with just the base game. I really can't imagine needing a giant ass team to make a few maps every now and then.
>I really can't imagine needing a giant ass team to make a few maps every now and then.
Don't underestimate modern game development. It's bloated as frick. I remember Cory talking about boss fights for GoW and how much easier it was during the PS2 days. Now you need a whole team working on one fight for like half a year.
Also fans used to make maps and modes for free but free isn't acceptable anymore.
You have to have a large studio in order to make games now. There's no way around it.
THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF DRUCKgay BAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAAAHAAAAAAAAH WHAT A FRICKING HACK!
I still think buying bungie was the most moronic shit ever
Like they got dropped by Bobby Kotick, dude is a israelite and he knows how to make money
I don't understand what the fricking hang-up was with TLOU2 multiplayer. The bar to clear was on the floor, just do the bare minimum and have it ready by launch when people would still care. I loved the tacked-on multiplayer of games like Dead Space 2 and Max Payne 3 even though they didn't last. Give people enough to get the game out of their system if the campaign didn't quite give them their feel and keep it in the spotlight on YouTube/Twitch a little longer. It doesn't need to become the next big thing as this standalone forevergame. They probably kept trying to overthink it as some live service bullshit and it turned into typical feature creep development hell where overly ambitious dicknoses get absorbed by the Sisyphean task of making all these competing ideas come together as a cohesive whole. People would've fine mindlessly running around slitting each other's throats for a little while, but that doesn't support long-term revenue models demanded by MBAs and shareholders I guess.
Bungie's expertise told Sony that TLOU MP didnt have enough reasons to keep people playing the game without heavy investments into story content, cosmetics and developing new modes. ND didnt want to invest more than that so they cancelled it entirely today.
Sony wanted a PUBG they could sell battlepasses with. A smaller mode would have been much better in hindsight but they got greedy.
Yeah, their mistake is to make it standalone. That way people expect a live service kind of affair that you have to maintain for an extended period of time compared to the usual extra mode that only take a year - year and a half of dev time.
>companies finally facing the harsh reality of the money sinkhole of GaaS
I guess they finally read the memo. Sony had a bunch of those in the making.
Who even buys these games anymore?
Normies who thought The Walking Dead was the peak of fiction
Considering it was in development limbo for so long, this is not surprising. Any game which has a, "Will release it later, we promise.", multiplayer component should be treated with suspicion on the outset.
Barring Uncharted and the Last of Us, what does Naughty Dog even have at this point? They're just a remake mill at this point since Druckmann is a hack.
>buying Naughty Dog products
deserved
Is Bungie the single biggest honeypot studio out there?
What fricking possessed Sony to buy them?
Sucks.
LoU1 had fun multi.
I know there’s usually a few genuine snoys in between all the false flaggers, what’s your genuine opinion of Snoy rn? Do you genuinely still have faith in them for the remainder of this and the next generation?
I don’t think of myself as a snoy cus I’m not a brand cultist but I own a ps5. I hate the shit sony and their 1st party studios have been doing so it brings me joy seeing their push for gaas flop so hard
>we don't have le resources!
How about hiring more people?
Unironically the only reedeming factor was the multiplayer.
Christ.
Last of Us is such a shitty franchise. Worst franchise ever made. I hope Naughty Dog goes out of business.
it's been over a decade
and yet tlou is still the only memorable thing naughty dog has created
Doing Crash real dirty man
