PlayStation 5: Thread 05

Ah balls, I get it, 1-4 plus a psp & vita game, quite a few years on just 1 universe. They’ll do the same with Horizon though so 🤷♂️

That top down isometric whatever it was Killzone game on PSP (I think or was it Vita?) was absolutely ACE.

edit Killzone Liberation yeah it was dope.

I actually really liked the Vita one as well.

Killzone Vita is the great tragedy of the generation that it hasn’t had a remake

Neon Koi also being shuttered

[Finsbury Girl]

No surprises.

I'm still baffled no-one in the team picked up that this would be a bomba well before release.

I can only guess sunk cost fallacy.

Completely Nuking concord, no return, no rework to make it free to play either, the games dead and will not return in any form.

[fishbowlhead]

Not shocking news at all.

Who’s not buying this? Should be on 20m copies by now.

Not bad but Lego Horizon is coming in soft in reviews

I think I mentioned elsewhere but they were talking about Concord on "The Rest Is Entertainment" podcast and although films like "Joker 2" have bombed, they've still made money. They'll continue to make money from being rented/bought and then streamed, but Concord is a total loss. Refunds to buyers and no possible way to claw back anything.

If they already close successful studios, I suspect this will make publishers even more likely to shutter them before they get to Concord-levels of loss.

Who is in charge over there? I feel like this is a game that was born out of a business calculations. Lego videos sell well + Aloy = Quick win. Well stuff you Sony. No one asked for this and it's deffo not one of those where, "you didn't know you needed this, but...".

People keep moaning about Sony shuttering the studio on this, but from where I stand the Studio heads lied through their teeth about their work in hand, game concept and progress all the way through. Despite more money being put into it (by Sony) and other devs being brought in to right the ship (by Sony) it still didn’t come together.

And people still moaning at Sony for it, I mean how much more should they of done?

The whole story will come out sooner than later on this one.

Looked like a 7 all the way through previews & vids, nothing wrong with that.
