And then immediately after that they put out the Wolverine game. XD
Hey, it's Sony again. Can we piss away any remaining goodwill you guys have?
They’re really interesting, well thought out games. They are art. That being said, they’re not system sellers and they don’t have the mass appeal of some other aaa games. They certainly don’t rake in mtx money either.
But the the thing is, doing those types of things that create good will and loving fans (however niche) make people forget, even a little, that these corpos are dickbags and we shouldn’t give them our money. Not every new game can break sales records. They need to keep good games on their system or they’ll go the way of Sega.
kojima is a hack.
listen i love the mechanics of his games. the attention to detail, the art direction.
but his stories are kinda crap. his best games were made when he was forced to answer to authority. when given cart balanche he meanders around the plot, gets distracted, dumps the narrative to chase some shinyer meta narrative that is not set up, and never ever pays off. and i have played all his games always hoping to get back to that high of the original metal gear solid, or metal gear solid 3 (fuck you metal gear solid 2). and Death Stranding stole its world building from Blades in the Dark.
i can spend hours dissecting his overrated ass
I agree with every point you make except the conclusion that he's an overrated hack. I was rolling my eyes through every cutscene of Death Stranding 2 (except the electric guitar fights which were incredible for the naked spectacle), but his inability to rein in his silliest indulgences is a relatively minor facet of his overall artistic merit in this medium.
The guy's a certified auteur, and like most of them, he has some serious gaps in his repertoire. But when you play a Kojima game, you're almost always going to play something completely unlike anything else on the market, and there's a solid chance you're going to have a blast doing it.
I agree! Except, Sega had great games, it just had poor timing in the console race with Saturn and Dreamcast.
Kojima isn't much different, sure he loves making games, but he will happily see you part with your money. Sony and the media just turned him into some kind of legend and developed a cult following around him. His games are what you said, his and his teams art, but they don't live up to the hype and anticipation the media generates. They would be well suited as self-published niche games, rather than forced AAA titles.
As a last resort?
They certainly don’t seem to give a fuck
Yes, but two key things here
- They are not owned by Xbox and therefore can’t be cut. Xbox could only end their partnership.
- Sony literally just did that to them lol
The rise of Liquidated Snake
PlayStation is making some choices these days.
Hideo needs money. He can support Linux all he wants but he needs the money to make the game first.
Projects on Xbox just means, Xbox is the studio, and it will release on everything except playstation.
Better than Playstations nonsense, atleast we will get it on PC. Just not sure why Sony decided to destroy everything good about Playstation, must be looking to exit the market?
