I ask all this rhetorically since obviously I'm aware the money trumps all, but dang it if I wanted to read fawning praise about the output of misogynist studios I could go read the corporate propaganda gaming sites.

When trans women expressed their discontent, it basically ended in a non-apology and a ton of people being blocked, and nothing really changed.

You even run the risk of items like these being unintentionally distributed to other countries and places. It's a new form of terrorism, an ugly weaponization of everyday tech devices. Can you imagine such campaigns being waged on Americans or Ukrainains for example by a Russian or Chinese force? The targets, legitimate or not have very little bearing on the issues being raised here.

No, because the American military wouldn't source their equipment from a supply chain Russia and China could have access to like this nor have their members carry it around in their everyday lives. lol

What if these beeps were given by the Mossad to the proud boys?  Era would be gobs of cum!

They would justify a fucking kindergarten full of right wing cult members dying as "fuck around and find out."

He’s not wrong. Like come on Sony you have Uncharted 1-3, God of War 1-3, ratchet and clank, sly cooper, killzone that either can’t be run on ps4-5 or run like shit on it and they’re doing a remaster of days gone 🤔😕

Must be the same geniuses that are rereleasing a remaster of horizon at the same time they’re releasing a lego remake of it.

It just reminds me of how much fascist transphobes dress like a woman so often, like Steve Crowder or a JD Vance, and you're like waiting for them to eventually have a huge realisation that it was internalised hatred and they did want to be a woman but were too scared.

Quote:But for many within the studio, it's still not clear what will come next, three sources told Kotaku. They are pessimistic Concord will return, and some have been asked to explore pitches for something completely different that Firewalk, which is currently around 150-170 employees, might work on next. Speculation among some staff has also included whether the studio could be used as co-development on one of Sony's myriad other first-party projects currently in production.

Others, however, feel like mass layoffs will be the most likely result of Concord's failure, including the possible shutdown of the entire studio, which sources tell Kotaku is one of the more expensive studios in the PlayStation portfolio on a per-head basis. Some developers are updating their resumes and portfolios, a few have already preemptively exited the studio, and others are waiting to see what a potential severance package will look like before deciding what to do next.

Holy shit, what!?

Sony bet big on Concord.
Basically betting on the team to drop a new HALO or Overwatch type hit. More or less the main focus of their GAAS strategy after The Last of Us GAAS was scrapped.

It even has(had?) a tie-in with the big Amazon TV show "Secret Level" based on video game franchises.

Quote:To have a PS5 SKU to sell to new audiences who discover the IP through their movies and shows, obviously. The Horizon Netflix series got derailed, but the remaster would have been in the works for a while, so may as well release it

Quote:Meant to offer a current gen SKU for folks new to these games who are introduced to the IP from the shows and movies. That's all.

There are also PC ports for many of games, so the PS5 gets newer versions for those too

Folks who are overdramatizing these projects are either ignorant of this or are stirring shit for no reason
Someone calling the SonyPony out
Quote:This "it's meant to tie in to the TV show/movie!" excuse are starting to get stale. You don't need to defend this practice of rehashing the same thing over and over again to make a quick buck. These remasters are lame! It's okay for people to call them out!

SonyPony
Quote:Anytime a movie or show adaptation happens for a game there is a boost to sales from folks discovering the IP for the first time. Sony wants those folks to gravitate towards the PS5 SKU instead of the older, cheaper ones. That's pretty much it
Not like this!
