@twitchtvpat I you really can't read between the lines and figure out he was fired then that's on you. When a person is invited to retire early, it's because it's either that or be fired. No one in that level of boss is normally fired. Not publicly anyway.
The pandemic isn't the reason why we haven't had a big single player game since Spiderman 2. It's the focus on live service games that has taken developers away. Like Naughty Dog with its canceled live service game and Guerilla with its live service Horizon game. When they should be all in on the last game in the trilogy.
Ill have the same "energy" yes. This Gen has been terrible with Sony not talking to fans. This is Jim Ryan's doing. They better come with some big announcements soon. Because as of right now, I have not been giving much reason as of why I should be exited about next year from Playstation.
You shouldn't believe everything your read. Especially when it comes from the big companies themselfs. You honesty think Sony would say that the boss, who, as you said, had been there for over 30 years, was fired? Not even close to be true. Foolishly to believe them on this one.
I don't have a problem with a coop horizon game. I actually wanted Forbidden West to have a coop mode. But that never happened.
My problem with this whole thing is that it takes away devs from working on the propper third game. You know, the game people are actually waiting for. People said it wouldn't take away from the single player games. But it really does. It delays all the games people bought a PS5 for. Trying to cram multiplayer to players that for the most part play single player games. It's just incredibly stupid.
Well, what Sony isn't getting is that it looses all my interest in the platform. I've been a Sony guy since the first PlayStation. But this gen has been such a disgrace that I'm genuinely looking to buy an Xbox for the next gen.
First it was Jim Ryan, who I hated from the start. He getting fired was one of very few good decision made by Sony. Jim promoted Hulst. So I think they have some of the same mindset. So the next good thing for Sony now would be to demote Hulst. He cannot be CEO of Playstation if Playstation is going to go back to what it was during the PS4 era. Where everybody loved what they were doing. They actually communicated with players. Having great events. I still remember the one with the live music. It was awesome.
Hulst can be on board during the remainder of this gen, maybe, but when PS6 comes around. The leadership needs to be changed. No question in my mind about that. Sony, and definitely it's player base, can't have another generation like this one. And if there is no signs of a change I'm switching consoles.
