Re: New Senua Game Reveal Used as a Way to Sell Ninja Theory to Suitors

Buying up studios like the way they did almost never work out. Alot of the original staff leaves or gets forced out by the regime change, basically resetting the studio. Nintendo and Sony approached this differently with first forming a very close parnership before buying the studio, making for a better transition without living a lot of talent. Sony did forget this with it's latest acquisitions.

@darylb24 i hate to burst your bubble but Xbox does not have a marketing deal with Square-enix. Square-enix doesnt have a deal with anyone anymore. They did however say they have have a stronger partnership in bringing more games as part of the multiplatforn strategy going forward.

Summer game fest was a given, even rebirth was shown at this event.

Re: After Critics Panned Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Maybe Sony's Legend of Zelda Film Can Pull It Back

Box office records are really easy if you up the prices by alot of tickets. I payed 17 euros for a ticket and 14 per ticket for my kids to see Mario Galaxy. I remember a time it was less then half that price.

It was a fun movie to see, especially if you grew up with the games, but they could and should have done more with story. My kids have already forgotten most of it, just because of the lack of a story. In comparison they can tell me everything about movies like Ratatouille, Luca, Frozen, Toy story, etc. The Mario movies feel more like a celebration then a actual attempt of a movie with a story. Wich is fine for most fans and kids, but i get why it's get critized for it.

I do think Zelda movie will have that though, it's aimed at a older audiance.

Re: Naughty Dog Embraced Crunch Culture After The Last of Us, as It's 'What It Takes to Make Games at Our Level'

@Titntin some things will be an endless circle unfortunately. I switched jobs because i wanted more time with my family. After realising how much big moments i missed of my first kids, i didnt want the same with the third or miss all the other big moments. I had the luxury i could take that jump, i know it's not a risk most cant take though. Especially in current times.

@Katsuhono it seems to be early ps4 time. If i recall rightly, Naughty Dog changed this after last of us part 2, right after they were called out for it and reduced it. Thats why this article is such as shot in the dark, his comments are based of the past when he worked there. It might not be relevant for the current Naughty Dog at all.

It's realistic they most likely cant avoid the need for it at times, they are still a entertainment company. But if they can keep it to a minimum so it won't damage presonal life and reward those that put in the time, then the people working on it won't have any issues with it.

@Titntin that sounds horrible. Like i said in my previous comment. It really depends on how a company acts on it, what you describe is not the way. A little overtime and good (healty) pressure to hotva certain deadline is not uncommon, but it should not take over someones life. I used to be in the film industry, and had to sometimes work extra to hit a deadline but i have been lucky that the companies i worked for awarded that extra effort.

Hopefully you did experience better work conditions at other developers.

Re: Sony Announces Gigantic PS5 Price Increases, Effective from April 2026

Seems to only be in Europe and US, where they are already dominating the market. Unfortunately everything gets more expensive. Hopefully coming november the world economy gets some time to breathe and things will slowly go back to normal.

That said, i don't see the PS6 coming in the coming years. Game consoles will be to expensive. All three will not be able to keep the price down unfortunately.

Re: If You're Playing Final Fantasy Games on PS5, There's a Good Chance You're Old

Doesnt this count for every major franchise though. When i look at my three kids, wich are aged between 4-10 years,all they want to play is roblox and fortnite. Because all their friends are playing that. The only game they played next to it was astro bot. No matter how hard i push towards other games, there's no use. I even tried to get them to play FF VII rebirth, they think it looks good but consider a dad game. They played for 10 minuten and were done with it.

This is also with the other franchises such as Mario. They think the movie is fun, but they don't care about the games.

Imo this looks too good to be true. And reading some comments of what is used it's seems this is tech that won't be afordable for the next 20 years. It does look very impressive, especially the environment. Grace looks completely different but Leon on the other hand. But still i have serious doubts wether this is actually all really true.

Re: Sony Goes Silent on Social Media as Fans Turn Feral Following Bluepoint Closure

@Dalamar i still think they should. It's a studio that would fit Sony perfectly. It will also be great for Sony animation. It will actually add a great IP and a studio that adds somehthing the Playstation brand they don't have yet. Bluepoint was a panic buy because at the time MS was buying alot of studios. Even though it was a great studio, Bluepoint add anything extra to Playstation and why they were mainly a support team. If you look at past purchases you will see they really looked for something that will add to the Playstation brand instead of panic buying.

So yeah, if they want to add the Kena developers to Playstation studios i'm all for it, because they will add a much needed genre of games and potential IP that Playstation neede.
