Physical is dead. Reminds me of all the people who said MP3 would never replace CD's. Look how that worked out.

This is some serious delusion. How do you they get hired.

But Hulst is the problem.

This won't save Ubisoft. It's already been judged and will fuel the fire more. Ubisoft needs completely new leadership with the nerve to stand up to investors and trends. Just make great games and stop worrying about checklists. It's that simple.

This statement just sounds like they are too lazy to work hard on a game and they used this as an excuse. Games are work and they don't sound like they wanted to actually work.

They always like to say that bad sales and a director leaving is not connected. It's amazing how it's always such a coincidence. The game did not sell well at all and they are cleaning house. Mass Effect is either going to be brilliant but most likely bad. Bioware just doesn't get it and I don't think they ever will. At least some of the people who still understand are working on Exodus.

Just tell Bluepoint to remake Bloodborne since they did an amazing job on Demon Souls. At least that game would sell like crazy. But Sony will never allow a good game to be made again.

This will fail. People are tired of these kind of games and they want some intelligent decisions to be made. Sony lost millions on Concord and didn't learn a thing. They completely ignored their customer base and are still trying to make games nobody wants.

It's not a matter of if it's good or not anymore. People can only send a message with money and I guess Sony is fine with losing more of it. How much more can they lose until someone their speaks up and says they need to make good games that people want to buy.

Nothing can save this game.

Maybe they should try to make a good game. It seems that idea never occured to them. There was nothing good about that game. The gameplay was terrible. Nobody cares about Suicide Squad and the characters are awful. Then add some live service in to make sure it failed.

You couldn't pay me to watch this garbage.

I couldn't care less. A reality show is better than that dumpster fire.

But has Rocksteady learned their lesson or will WB get their way and push more garbage live service. I know everyone wants another Batman which I am all for but there are other paths. We can only hope they will realize that good story driven single player are what made them famous.

I'm sure the CEO is really upset as his paycheck is completely unaffected.

This show is just an excuse so Geoff and Kojima can have a public date.

First person = wrong game design decision. They gave it to the wrong studio. How hard was it make it 3rd person like all the games it inspired. I would have rather them remake the Emperors Tomb instead.

They gave it to an FPS studio and expected something good? Talk about ruining the franchise. They had several series to use as a blueprint including an Xbox game and they still did it in first person. They clearly have no clue how to make anything else. But all the fanboys will defend this non cinematic game.

Casey Hudson got lucky with Mass Effect then his ego ruined it. After that he jumped around because people realized he wasn't that good. At this point he's more like a cancer. I hope that now panicking Bioware doesn't bring him back thinking he will make things good. We know what happened to ME3 because of him.

At least Exodus has the proper Bioware vibe from the past.

The only shock is people can't believe it's true. He's always been a scumbag. IO real mistake was actually working with him at all. There was no reason to ever use him in their game.

It failed. They will never tell the truth but an IP like this should be big. Now all the bribes are for spinning the truth after launch. Mass Effect is their next failure.

A way for Sony to block letting the games come to PC for a long time. Considering how scumbag Sony is now I hope it fails. Amazing how greedy Sony is but they still won't remake Bloodborne which is an automatic pile of cash.

As usual, people don't understand. It's not about the budget, it's about the developer. What we need is real developers making good games. That means not worrying about pandering to mouthy idiots or executives. The budget of the game does not determine how good it is or isn't. Making an ignorant and broad assumption that the problem is too much money is causing a failure is as dumb as saying a small budget game will be amazing.

I love how people actually thought Geoff was a good guy. He has alwasy been a leech just trying to make money and a name for himself on the backs of others. If the developers had any class they would remove themselves from the awards. I wonder who he'll kick off stage this year during a speech. I'm sure Kojima will be there for no reason and get plenty of spotlight.

They're just another cancer in the gaming industry. Hopefully they will be gone soon. The whole industry needs a serious pruning to get to basics and just making good games without interference from idiots.

It's all about who gave Geoff the biggest bag of cash. Or if his vastly, overrated friend Kojima wants something.

They love making terrible Tomb Raider movies. When will they learn they don't work. Put the money into good games instead.

All that's happening is their original plans are being shown. Based on everything so far, it was clear this would have been a mess if it launched on time. The controversy about Yasuke was only the beginning. It accidentally exposed several other bad decisions.

There is no chance this show will be good. Look what happened to Halo. It's like they hated it so much they intentionally made it insulting. Mass Effect is just being abused at this point. It's bad enough the new game will be a fail, but now this. Just let it die already.

If you can't see exaclty why that game failed, then you shouldn't be allowed to make a game. The amount of red flags was obvious from space.

First person means not interested. Wrong studio was assigned to the game.

Nintendo has ALWAYS been a scumbag company. People give them a pass for no reason. Between their gimmicks and making the same games over and over, nobody should be really defending them.

It's like they just want to lose money.

Yeah, just keep putting lipstick on the corpse.

Too busy in emergency meetings trying to figure how to not get shut down for good.

Release it on Steam like it should have been and make money. Sticking with idiot Tim Sweeney and Epic is just bad business. That guy is more worried about his little ego than anything else.

It's the same situation Ubisoft is in with Assassin's Creed Shadows. They delayed it to change things and the first DLC being included means it was already started. They scrapped any other plans at this point. The game will come out and it will be abandoned as fast as they can. This is what happens when you care less about making a good game and are more worried about a checklist.

Translation: DLC was planned but the shear hatred of the game means they are dropping it and running away. EA NEVER misses a chance to nickel and dime. Mass Effect is in so much trouble at this point that the amount of emergency meetings and panic is comical.

Bioware is a dead husk at this point. The only attention they get is negative and EA is just waiting to put the nail in the coffin.

All the delay does is give the haters more time to sharpen their spears. Gamers never forget or forgive. Outlaws is not nearly as bad as people say but it will be better after a few big updates.

I wonder if any of the mouthy developers will have anything to say on Twitter this time. Hopefully they learned their lesson but I doubt it.

Keep failing Sony. It makes for great reading.
