Re: Talking Point: Does PS5 Have a Sequel Problem?

Vivisapprentice

You need to add to the last question none. I prefer SM>SM2, GoW18>GoWR, HZD>HFW, GoT>GoY.

As per sequels, I don't mind the strategy, i just wish there were smaller riskier titles in between. We don't get Concrete Genies, MediEvil remakes, The Orders, etc... anymore.

Re: EA's Black Panther Game Cancelled, Studio Shut Down

Vivisapprentice

@MFTWrecks in terms of cancelations and studios shutting, this isn't exclusive to super hero genre, I think the problem is they get excited and announce them way too early, then the studio can't pull together a good game and is ultimately canceled. This will happen all the time behind the scenes on unannounced projects that are new IP. There was also a rumour that Disney wants 30% cut on licensed games, then if someone like Sony takes 30% for you to sell on their store page and you have a game not coming together in early development it's probably best just to scrap

Re: Those Classic Final Fantasy Remakes Are Reputedly Still in Development

I'm a big Square Enix fan and I think this is the first time I've seen them so quiet. They are so hush about their pipeline, they only have DQI and II HD announced for this year, and have gone very quiet on KHIV and DQXII. Even their mobile side seems absent. I'm so used to them in the past having over 10 announced games in the pipeline at any given time. They've only given us 3 next gen ganes so far as well

Re: Reaction: The PS5 Discourse Around State of Plays Is Becoming Draining

Vivisapprentice

My issue with State of Play is inconsistency, when Sony started the format they were quite dull affairs, but got better over the years. We haven't had a showcase since May 2023 and honestly that wasn't much better than a SoP, September 2021 was their last good big presentation. State of Plays seem to be their only connection to gamers currently and they had a couple of decent ones last year that felt like showcases.

The latest sop I feel needed to be a big deal, the Playstation roadmap is a bit weak currently, Microsoft has a huge line up this year, nintendo has the Switch 2 and no doubt some great first party exclusives. If Sony won't give us a showcase then we look at sop's for our big news
