Re: Yoshida: I Played The Last of Us Online and It Was Great

theSpectre

I don't think anyone is doubting The Last of Us Online might've been great. I do think most everyone is in agreement that nobody wanted Naughty Dog to become a live service only studio. I still think the project could be salvaged by handing off development to another studio leaving Naughty Dog free to work on it's medium defining single player games.

Re: Poll: Will the Switch 2 Compete with PS5?

theSpectre

What everyone is forgetting is that Nintendo has a track record of following up a great console with a poor one. I think naming this console the Switch 2 will help it to avoid the problems that the Wii U saw, but I don't forsee the Switch 2 being quite as big of a mega hit as the current Switch.

Re: Sony's Had a First-Party PS5, PS4 Game Nominated for Game of the Year Ten Times in a Row

theSpectre

While they are considered Playstation Studios titles, Bloodborne and Death Stranding are not first party games (technically, Spider-Man 2018 wasn't first party at the time either). That said, every one of these games deserved their nominations and some (Uncharted 4, R&C Rift Apart, and possibly Ghost of Tsushima which is kind of 1A to The Last of Us Part II in 2020) deserved to win. It's actually crazy that Deathloop was nominated in 2021 over Returnal.
