>bought a studio with literally 0 games under their belt. TWICE
Fitting.
>buying Jade Raymond's new studio before they even made anything
Good job Sony, at least they secured themselves some blowjobs.
>create studio full of industry veterans while they are new and cheap >NOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO PAY BILLIONS FOR BRAND NAME STUDIOS SO PEOPLE BUY YOUR GAMES BASED OFF BRAND ALONE
good thing you are NEETs and not in positions of power or a lot of people will lose their job off your moronation
These studios "full of industry veterans" rarely amount to anything, and most of the time said veterans were kicked out from their original studio for a reason.
prove they were "kicked out", its funny the mental gymnastics this board goes though. Oh you left [studio] and made new studio? You must have been hated and kicked out! You people didn't know this studio existed 2 minutes ago
This is just moronic and lacks total awareness of the situation in the game industry. His comment is misleading but they definitely were kicked out. Pretty much 100% of game industry staff gets fired at the end of a project in the current industry. It doesn't say anything about their competence, just that they have made a game before.
Dunno, I don't think they would've bought them if they didn't like the progress and what they were seeing. They've only been acquiring well run studios. Probably why they didn't just open it as a PS studio in the first place.

They've touted the fact they've made a studio during WFH times. That's literally it. That's all they can puff up. No games, no actual products. Just some cloud architecture to host VMs so people won't need to remote desktop
>industry veterans
You mean washed up idiots that think they know better than everyone else because they worked on a popular game once? They haven't done anything of value for over a decade.
All they do is try to sell you shit games under the tag "From the creators of [nostalgic popular game]". Name one game from an "industry veteran" worth a shit.
>NOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO PAY BILLIONS FOR BRAND NAME STUDIOS SO PEOPLE BUY YOUR GAMES BASED OFF BRAND ALONE
Like they did with Bungie?
Probably the most moronic purchase in the history of vidya.
Sony bought Bungie because they saw Square pumping billions into that Marvel Avengers live-service game and fricking up royally.
It's cheaper to spend a few billion on people who can teach your other studios how to avoid wasting a billion dollars on each failed Games-as-a-Service title than just going for it and learning from your mistakes after the fact.

It makes you drop your guard with the 90s multimedia CD feel on the landing page, then it hits you with the pozzery and the baby talk. How do these people even function.
If you look at the careers section they've got empty positions for practically every single role you need to have a functioning dev studio and several more that are just made up busywork shit for their friends to collect a paycheck
Sony literally just bought a bunch of Idea Guys.
I fricking hate modern web design
if your webshite needs to load for multiple seconds so you can have your completely worthless white circle follow the cursor about you should be taken out back and shot
this is all you ever need https://motherfrickingwebsite.com/
>just get a better rig
that's the fricking sentiment that landed us here in the first place
more powerful hardware isn't an excuse to be a lazy c**t because 'eh their rig can handle it'
You say this like it's a bad thing, but its actually the opposite. She took a boring as frick game and turned it into a multimedia franchise worth millions if not billions.
Why does this gen just seem like its Sony and Microsoft buying a load of companies and not really making any games? Like whats even coming out on PS5 and Nextbox in the next 3-4 years? This isnt a Nintendo praise thing either as all they have coming is BOTW2 and Metroid Prime 4. Its like all 3 put in bare minimum effort.
>and it feels like nothing has come of it.
this really is obvious, especially with ninja theory >one of the first major dev teams purchased in MS buying spree >made hellblade right before this, with a tiny group of devs and low indie budget in 4 years >now has MS cash and working on it full force with an expanded studio, has taken 5 years and the title is still nowhere to be seen.
a lot of the studios are gonna start seeing their main devs drop out and leave. they just wanted the easy paycheck and arent actually working on shit. expect tim schafer to announce hes out next
Game release cycles have become too bloated to develop a new game quickly. They probably have multiple projects in early- or mid-stage development, but any or all of them could get canned for whatever reason tomorrow.
Graphics homosexualry is the biggest problem. You've got fricking character models with more polygons than all of GTA 3.
Because you pretend games you dont like don't exist. Sony already released two big AAA games this year and gow ragnarok is coming in november but they don't count for some reason
It definitely is moron time because three triple a games is a pretty good number for any publisher. Feel free to post any example of a publisher with more games. AAA games, don't start mentioning nintendo's low budget trash
>PS5 exclusives >Horizon Forbidden West
Got mogged so hard by Elden Ring it made the devs seethe in public. A game mocked endlessly for being so safe, so shallow, so soulless that it's considered the pinnacle of "open world design by committee"
>it doesn't count!
I expected nothing else. Nobody said anything about PS5 exclusives by the way >Why does this gen just seem like its Sony and Microsoft buying a load of companies and not really making any games?
that's what i was answering to which is objectively wrong. Horizon doesn't stop existing as a game because is cross gen or is bad according to you
I turned hardware-acceleration back on and it loaded better, had the same problem with Github's new sign up page. Idk who is teaching these webdevs but these sites aren't pleasant, they're unresponsive and obtuse to navigate. Looks like a shittier version of a Destiny menu. >Press and hold to open portal
looks like someone missed the first day of accessibility class.
web devs these days don't care about optimization and making things work across all devices, especially the artsy fartsy types
the website is loading so many things that are bigger than they have any right to be on a website like this that it's slowing the whole thing down

Better buy dumpsterfire like ActiBlizz, at least their shit can be discounted at the goypasas before they stop making any games (and become new Rare).
The only studio of this type that I remember succeeding is Respawn, and even they went to shit with Apex Legends support
>assassin's creed veteran
wow, can't wait to play more Horizon adjective noun

answer the question homosexual
so just like ms did with the initative, which crashed and burned?
>bought a studio with literally 0 games under their belt. TWICE
Fitting.
how many movies have they made though? that's what matters.
None. Sony just bought company that literally nothing to offer
>buying Jade Raymond's new studio before they even made anything
Good job Sony, at least they secured themselves some blowjobs.
Hasn't she gotten married to some cuck that provides for her by now?
>Haven
what's this, another PC portjob studio?
>Jade Raymond's studio
Good or Bad sign?
good for her, she'll bounce in a couple of years
I love Jade Raymonds game.
>even Sony can't wait to play Jade's game
they probably made a gacha or some shit.
Japanese studios when
WHAT THE FRICK XBOX XISTERS I THOUGHT SNOY COULDN'T AFFORD ANYTHING
ONKLE PHIL BUY ANOTHER FAILING PUBLISHER NOW
They need new names to tie to their live service crap so they can be poster children if they succeed and cut if they fail. It doesn't fricking matter.

my sides
Games?
It's a animated tampon box.
So the only reason they bought this studio is because the CEO was a PRODUCER for Assassin's Creed?
Not just a producer, The producer. She helmed the first game.
Makes sense why it was so fricking boring then.
You say this like it's a bad thing, but its actually the opposite. She took a boring as frick game and turned it into a multimedia franchise worth millions if not billions.
Yeah, I guess it makes sense to roll her into the Sony movie-game industry.
producers don't do anything... she probably got the people working coffee and kept morale up with blowjobs
>Haven
probably a troony haven
I want to play Jade's game!
I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY JADE'S GAME

The only reason I even own a SeXbox is for blu-ray and back compat.
I know we say this every generation, but there really are no games.

just opening their website sent my pc into overdrive and all my fans spiked to 100% and nothing even loaded yet.
I opened it on my phone which is garbage so I assumed it was just me. Can any web devs here explain why their website is so freaking slow?
