TLoU is a more strategic and tactical game. Does not make it boring. It takes more skill than Uncharted. It has a ton of action in its combat, but you have to learn how it works.
@Robocod The lady that left had nothing to do with GOW creatively. Do your research.
As for the combat designer, GOW has had several designers throughout the years. He was not the original combat designer, but replaced someone else. If he does not return than someone else will get the job done as usual.
No one person soley works on video games. Capcom does not have any of the creators of their franchises still working for them.
@wiiware Right lol. As I said before these people don't even know who does what at these companies but make a big deal out of. GOW has had several different writets, producers, designers and directors since the first game. There is no such thing as poaching talent most work on a freelance basis and move on. Shannon Studstill only produced the first GOW and had nothing to do with GOW PS4. She never had any creativity or direction in the series. Cory Barlog is the most important figure in GOW outside of Jaffe and they both left at one point.
@Gamer83 Doesn"t matter. She is replaceable and it will not have a negative impact on SSM like you are claiming which is the point. You didn't know who she was til this game and that's a fact. As I said, people leave companies all the time. Its a part of the industry so no big deal. Platinim left Capcom yet Capcom is doing great with only a few good franchises. Drama queen LOL.
@Bliquid Good for you. I don't know who you are or care either. Ironically this is a discussion board and you care too much about what I care about LOL. Moron.
@Flopsy None of these people ever heard of her but suddeny its a huge deal. They didn't know who David Jaffe and Cory Barlog were. The two who created the series and came up with the story, concept and gameplay. That's one annoying thing about the internet. The creator of PS has been gone since PS3 yet people act like someone that they never heard of leaving is a big deal.
@Gamer83 Why do people make these ridiculous comments? People leave companies everyday and people have left Sony since they were estsblished way before PS existed. No one is irreplaceable. You didn't even know who she was before this LOL. Over dramatic. Sony and SSM will continue to be fine as always.
Funny how you don't see the usual people talking about this game should be on every platform and there is no one on PS4 port begging. I wonder why? Where are the guys that always say every game should be on every platform so everyone can play? Hypocrites lol.
It makes sense to release the entire game in one package too lol. Game is just average after playing the demo. Not bad, but not great and nothing special. Don't see anything that would prevent them from putting it all on one disc. The scale was pretty small. Felt like there were missed opportunities for new mechanics and character features. Camera made me naseuos so I had to turn it off for now. Felt like I was watching more than playing. Perfect game for watching on YouTube instead of playing.
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L People have a right to criticise. This not a 1:1 remake. The original did not have voice overs either so that kills your argument right there. This just proves Square is milking it by claiming they could not fit the entire game in one package. We don't even know if thete will be a world map when you get out of midgar. Judging by your name I would not expect you to be unbiased in your opinion LOL.
@redd214 Its just that, hype. FF has not been good since FF9. FF12 was OK, but the others, including the very overrated FF10 were mediocre. You could just buy FF7 original, FF8 abd FF9 on PSN and get the best of FF for cheaper than this bogus remake or I should say half a$$ remake. If you are on PC then you can buy FF6 as well.
@BAMozzy This is always a ridiculous comment. Exclusives are why PS, Xbox and Nintendo exists. It was why Sega was able to compete. Companies who make rgeir own hardware, store or service should also make their own exclusive games. Paying for games they do not own is a bad practice however. Comparing it to movies is even more ridiculous and not just for the fact that movie studios do not make hardware. Only fanboys refuse to buy another platform and complain about exclusives. I bought a Genesis and SNES, same with the PS2, Dreamcast and GameCube and the PS4 and Switch. So make sure you say third party exclusives.
This is why first party is important. Can not rely on third party to sell your new hardware. I don't look forward to new generations for multiplats anyway and will not be buying anything from Square again after the disappointing DQ11.
@Bamila That feature will not be used outside of M$ and their partners. Look at the failed promises of Kinect and the X. Also devs just have to patch their games since BC will be on both consoles day one. No need to port any game.
@Orpheus79V There no difference in multiplats and people need to stop pretending there are. There were no differences on the base consoles before the upgrades. No one cares about power ehich has been proven time and time again. Notice the Switch already passed the X2 and the X sold poorly. None will walk into the store this fall worried about TFlops. Customers just want to know what games can be played on which platform. M$ does not have the exclusives to standout.
The Last of Us Part 2 and Ghost of Tsushima. I did not know the generation was over yet? IDK care about PS5 til this gen actually ends. Just because it ended for M$ years ago does not mean it ended for Sony.
@ShogunRok I really wish people would stop defending this bs practice of Square. FF7 was my favorite game back in the day but I am not going to be blind for nostalgia sake.
Mass Effect was 3 separate games all connected like the Star Wars trilogy. FF7 was one whole game and now it has been broken up because of Square's greed.
FF13 was like Mass Effect, not FF7 Remake. You dom't know what content will be in the game. Square has not shown anything but combat and they made the same promise with FF15 only to not be true.
@Octane No doubt man LOL. Already milking it by releasing half the game and charging $60 without even saying when the next part is coming and how many parts there will be. Still no mention of how big the game's world is either or how many quests.
They will go back to being irrelevant without Sony. Just look at Supermassive games. QD was only getting attention because of Sony and it was the same with Ninja Theory whose games failed after Heavenly Sword (which was exclusive).
I think it would have been a mistake for Sony to buy QD as their games were not selling 5-10 million like other exclusives. Spider-Man, GOW, HZD, Uncharted etc crushed QD's sales.
They are not a lost and they will not be able to push the hardware without the games being exclusive. Look at how Man of Medan turned out for Super Massive. Good for them though and I have no issue with them being independant.
I did not enjoy Detroit and would rather Sony publishes something better than QTE games. They have run their course now.
@ApostateMage That just proves how overrated and dull RDR2 is. All of these reviewers who gave it perfect scores could not even name anything it did that was great LOL. Omitting it was the best thing they did.
Wow it has been a year already since this massive flop released LOL. I called it when they first announced the GaaS and glad it flopped. These GaaS are bad for the industry and I am glad gamers are starting to reject them. Ironically Jedi Fallen Order was a success as a single player game and Anthem would have been a success too if it was also sp.
@Splat Didn't know that, but I don't trust THQ after DS3. If the make a good quality game then I am all over it as I have been craving a sequel for years. THQ has too much on their plate right now so I doubt it.
Its funny that everyone is talking about how they are going to start playing the game again. I thought the whole point GaaS was to keep playing? So much for online games adding more replay value and longevity. I remember how TD2 disappeared on Twitch less than a month after launch.
@JoeBlogs Every game would not be available through streaming. People keep missing that point. Streaming music or tv is not the same as a game. Games require much more and lag will always be an issue. Sony makes hardware and will never give that up, same with Nintendo. M$ failed with Xbox and Google never had hardware.
@kyleforrester87 Why would there be no physical machine? How exactly would you play the games with no physical device? Stadia does have a physical device which is needed to access their service on your TV and connects the controller. You fail to understand that. Also third party games would be an issue, which is why Stadia lacks content.
@OneManDroid It has nothing to do with internet speeds. Games are not meant to be streamed. Input lag, framerate, screen tearing and resolution drops will always be an issue and games will only get bigger.
Netflix still drops in resolution for me and that is just a video. Streaming Netflix in 1080p drops let along 4K and your bandwidth will hit its cap much quicker causing slowdown to make it worse.
I do not get why people don't understand that? Gaming is not going to ever work good on the cloud. Cloud gaming is a gimmick and just another way to get you to subscribe to something.
There is zero benefit to cloud gaming for us as customers. Companies can not make profit off it either. Stadia has not had any new games thus far and their sales are abysmal. Yet people claimed they had Sony shook LOL.
@FullbringIchigo Exactly. The cloud is already here and been here since PSNow, but it has not been successful. Stadia is a big fat flop and Xcloud will flop too.
@get2sammyb We will never be playing on the cloud and that is not where we are headed. You have been saying that for a year and nothing has proven you right.
Stadia has failed, PSNow is just there and Xcloud still has issues which is why it has not launched. You think just cause the cloud exists that it must be where gaming is headed? Remember Kinect?
Remember motion controls? Weren't they "the future too"? How about digital only yet more people still by physical games. You never provided any evidence to support your claim.
Cloud gaming has alteady failed and 7 billion people will never use cloud gaming. This further proves that Xbox as a console is dead, but some people keep denying that reality.
