First time since his tenure begun that Hulst says something that makes sense 😯 of course is undoing the mess him and Jim Ryan started but a win is a win 🤷
Yes and their 1 trick was being the masters of remakes and remasters! Well is a good thing Sony is not currently into remaking and remastering their old games or anything 😌👍
They can't forget Festival of Blood! But yeah I'll take anything with the infamous branding at this point, is been long enough that is absolutely missed.
I play fighting games for the story and yeah I'm not sitting in the couch to watch a comic book for 10 hours! also would want to hold a dualsense all that time without playing anything? Making it multiplayer only would have been better
I'm surprised it's that high 🤷 It's an incredibly niche game within a very niche genre.
Returnal sold better because many of us where curious about it and just saw a new shiny Playstation exclusive, now they don't have the element of surprise
@djlard That's something you can fix yourself by buying a larger battery on Amazon, what we can't fix is the darn stick drift unless you're a soldering expert.
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo! Multi billion and trillion dollar companies who can't spend a few more cents per controller to eliminate drift 😒
Uncharted 2 is the goat! I felt that Uncharted 3 was the the GOW Ascencion of the series, came too soon after 2 and it was more of the same but slightly different.
@ozkrmz You only have a gaming PC? Many of us have the gaming PC in our room and the PS5 hooked to the big TV in the living room, seem like you need to step your game up 😁👍
Everyone in the world knows this is going to bomb hard, everyone except Hermen Hulst apparently 🙄 I give the studio a month to live after the game releases.
@Rangers420 Including this one and the upcoming PC only game there have been 6 Horizon games in 9 years 🫤 Is very convenient only counting 1 & 2 when we can have like 30 spin offs by 2030 🤷
Absolutely not! 😅 it wouldn't be so bad if Guerilla made something else in the side besides Horizon. They have only been making Horizon games for almost a decade so far! What happened to this studio?
Everyone here and in the internet knows this game is DOA, we know we're going to be counting down to the day it's shut down yet Sony seems to think otherwise!
If the game's creator had no faith in it and had to run far away why would anyone else have faith in this thing? Plus first impressions mean allot, this game was worse received than Concord
They already had the engine and they reused allot of assets from the previous games so how did it get that high? My guess would be marketing as you couldn't escape the advertisings!
Like a few have stated I want to be able to delete any game from the trophy list, it can be any percentage completed that's not 0%. I would happily take just deleting games with 1% completion!
The emulator is fantastic, I can play many of my favorite PS3 games at 4K 60fps with exceptions like Killzone 2 which still runs like crap even on a high end PC.
If I was Sony I would put aside my pride and just hire these guys to do a PS3 emulator for PS5. Of course they would need to be watched so that they don't jailbrake the entire console 😅
Who's daughter is Hermen sleeping with that guarantees him his position no matter how many billions he throws in a fire and how many mistakes he makes? Haven Studios will probably close next along with Media Molecule 😒
@rjejr Some PC users are port begging for Playstation exclusives that are being made by Sony first party studios! here Sammy is port begging for multiplat games made by a third party studio who announced recently they are done making exclusives for anyone 🤷
I doubt Microsoft would waste a cent blocking this from Sony, heck they were probably surprised it was even coming to Xbox! This just looks like Square throwing a temper tantrum because Final Fantasy 16 didn't sell 3 trillion copies in 5 minutes 🤷
@RZ-Atom I'm apparently part of the target audience cause I always click on these 🤷 Xbox is basically a third party publisher now so anything related to them will affect us here in some way.
Instead of Sony having that studio remake/remaster something that's useful and needed like the original infamous games they remake something that plays perfectly fine on PS5 and imo looks inferior to the original!
I give it a near 0% chance Microsoft does exclusives again! Them locking games behind a $1'000+ console would guarantee they never make a profit ever again, add in them allowing other stores and yeah exclusives are never coming back.
@GamerDad76 "This Steam numbers trend is getting boring. "Ye but Steam says.." I dont give a fudge sorry"
It may be boring and you may see it as a trend but is as accurate as we'll get when seeing a games health. We were able to see in real time many games slowly dying with an announcement of the game shutting down following close by.
If PC only gamers aren't happy with this decision they can thank Microsoft and their next Xbox. Can you imagine seeing videos of the new Xbox playing TLOU, Ragnarok, Wolverine, Intergalactic! They had no choice but to end support (not even including Sony making little money from the PC ports).
I'm very selfish, I want the next PlayStation to be ready when the next Xbox is ready. Why would you give your trillion dollar competition a 1-3 years head start? Yes Microsoft is far behind but it only takes a fluke for something to go viral and catch on in the mainstream.
@Sanquine "Why do you even care about the review score? Even if Push gave it a 9 you would do any mental gymnastics to say it’s dog *****."
I'm rooting for the game to succeed because this is Sony's dedicated live service studio (so that's their whole job) and even I think this is nonsense. So every live service game can't be reviewed at launch? Why is Bungie asking for money now if the full experience isn't ready?
Maybe all game companies should use this strategy moving foward, pinky promise that the game will get bigger and better later so sales aren't affected by possibly low or mid reviews... Well played Bungie 🫡
While I admit I'm rooting for the failure of Fairgames and many other live service games Marathon is one I actually hope does well.
Sony already spent billions (massively overspent) on this studio and were brought in specifically for Live service multiplayer games so I don't see a reason to root against the thing they are good at 🤷
I would love to interview the guy and ask how far and wide the conspiracy goes. So Rockstar paid everyone in the internet, including everyone on this site to call the game trash even though we secretly loved it according to him? 😑
It was a great business decision to keep single player games exclusives (like before) and anything live service goes everywhere. Is so good that I refuse to believe Hulst was even in the building when the decision was made 😁
I think the upcoming Steam and Xbox consoles is the main reason why they are scaling back, it would be a disaster if Microsoft announces "Wolverine and TLOU 3 now playable on your new Xbox Series YZ!".
@OthmaneAD "Well done concord 2, now welcome marathon (concord 3) and horizon gathering (concord 4)"
While Marathon and Horizon will not set the world on fire I don't think they will be the historic flops that can match Concord. Fairgame$ is the only one that will absolutely earn the title of Concord 2 ✌️
I'll take absolutely any protagonist in the GOW universe new or old that's NOT Atreus! Playing as a sentiant Leviathan Axe would probably be preferable.
@cragis0001 "So far 80% of titles to be published by Playstation in 2026 are heading to PC"
Those games were already made for PC so no point in canceling them now, you will probably start to see the effect with Wolverine and beyond.
"Even though Playstation themselves said porting to PC is like printing money"
Is going to print less money when the Steam console and the next Xbox are able to play Playstation exclusives, Sony has no choice if they plan to stay in the console market!
So Bluepoint had no problem just being the "remake and remasters studio" but Sony didn't want to? again Sony loves remakes and remasters and had a studio that specialize in that field yet saw no worth in them? Is almost like Hulst doesn't know what he's doing 🤯
@nomither6 "I hope it happens so PS can get mario kart"
Lol nintendo doesn't share! Playstation could put every one of their exclusives from PS1 to PS5 on the Switch 2 and Nintendo would just yawn and sue Sony for making them yawn 😅
Most definitely, I don't see how someone can say otherwise. Announce it on a random tuesday there's no way this was how they planned to announce the release day!
This may be yet another black eye for Live service games but we have to remember that Fairgame$ is on it's way to turn the industry upside down and change how we view video games moving foward 🙏

@nomither6 "If it was so good then they wouldn’t have cancelled it"
Well if that's the case are you saying Fairgames/Concord are vastly superior in everyway as those weren't cancelled?
Is there a slight chance Sony management is completely lost and they cancelled a game with real potential and didn't cancel the certified trash? 🤔
