I swear this gen Sony has had more failed live service games and TLOU remasters than actual new games and new IPs
They’re chasing that magic dragon! I really don’t think they’ll catch it at this point, they’ve already soured their own fanbase and built a reputation for these live service shots in the dark.
Concord caused so much negative publicity, I think the ripple from that will effect the sales of each game following it.
i hope it’s Concord 2 😋
Me: Oh cool! A new game that looks like it could be fun!
Game is Live Service
Me: Oh, nevermind.
Are the live service games that die out
quick able to milk players enough to earn back the investment? Or are these companies just going into the red time after time with massive gambles to be the one live service game that sticks around
Ffs sony, how many times you need to be taught this lesson…
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with new studios making live service games. My problem is when primarily single player studios are being pushed in the direction of live service.
Anything to not remaster Bloodborne instead
How many times do we have to teach you, old man?!
People don’t understand the money in these live service games. They are looking for gacha lvl of money.
I saw a report that Honkai Star Rail made 100m last month. Way higher than normal but it brings in 20-30m per month on average I believe. Every company wants what Hoyo, Epic with Fortnite, etc has. I think Sony are going to keep trying until they get it right.
I play HSR and ZZZ as time wasters during down time but I’d take a new Sony single player IP over a live service every day of the week.
Guys and girls, don’t panic!
The responsibles for these nonsense decisions and numerous layoffs will still receive a fat bonus for Christmas!
I’d assume they learned some valuable lessons of why their other products failed, and are confident enough that this one will be better/right.

Helldivers 2 probably made more than 3 of their big sp games. This isn’t rocket science guys…
This is what happens when you let business folks make decisions about pieces of art they don’t like our understand.
The only reason they have jobs is to make the shareholders more confident but they only do damage.
“how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man”
They got a taste of it with Destiny 2 and now they want more
There is like nothing new from Sony’s Playstation Studios I am excited about, Ghost of Yotei is something I will probably pick later on at a discount once its out, besides that I don’t know what to get excited about
Oh a new studio?
*Our first game is a team-based ac*-HONK SHOO MIMIMI
“TeamLFG said in the announcement that its first game “is a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games,” that takes place ‘in a lighthearted, comedic world set in brand-new, mythic, science-fantasy universe.'”
. . . The hell does that even mean? A good idea would be to focus on one or at most two genres rather than throwing darts at a board and hoping everything comes together cohesively.
Its like an addiction
My new conspiracy is that this is some form of money laundering Shit
PCLamer reporting on consoles. Also, fuck you sony. No more live service games.
Closed in two years
Sony must be in dire straits for them to be developing so many live service games. Anyone who tells you they bought a PS5 for exclusives must be disappointed by Sony’s underwhelming output.
They are in the “milking old success” period
Sony bro reaction…
We love you sony
Got to maintain that illusion the company is growing and on an upward trajectory
Sick of fucking live service games
Sony doesn’t have a big live-service game, and basically every large publisher needs one to keep operating – not having one is why Ubisoft is in such dire straits. Going all-in as before might have been overkill, but they will definitely keep trying to make one.
Sony still trying to get Fortnite money.
Tensions have to be high at that studio already
