That sounds fun as hell.
The premise is great. They just completely cocked it up after Killzone 2. KZ1 was a rough game with a lot of promise. KZ2 was excellent, but they killed Space Hitler at the end. For KZ3, they didn't really know where to take the plot, shoehorned in a General Staff out of nowhere, and screwed up the multiplayer. Shadowfall took things to Vekta with a megascale version of the Berlin Wall, where the Helghast inexplicably are allowed to have weapons, and they once again had no idea what to do from there and made the multiplayer even worse, somehow. There's nothing left to save, really. Helghan is destroyed, Visari is dead, the world now makes no sense, and the multiplayer gave up its identity 13 years ago.

I picked up Killzone 2 at a store. They didn't have Killzone 3, damn.

Anyway, let's go back to Marvel's Spider-Man 2. There's a boss fight with MJ as Scream or something, and Peter Parker tries to apologize and compliment MJ as he gets his ass whopped.


What kind of humiliation ritual is that? I'm actually embarrassed to witness that; I've seen children that beg less than that Spider-Man.

I understand that Kojima game is expensive and the last two game kinda flop. But at the same time sonyggers spending 300M for wolverine and 400M for fucking concord. Whatever PHYSINT gonna be there's good chance it gonna be better than those 2 trash game.
 
I was baffled by the deaf black girl walking segment in Spiderman 2. At least Miles was a superhero so playing as him made sense.

What the point of those again? I don't even think she had a name.
Hayley, she's Miles girlfriend as of the end of SM2. I dunno why she was playable either, since the graffiti thing could have easily have been given to Miles as a sidequest chain instead.

It makes sense in the context of the game given that he's already lost Ben and May, Doc Ock is in jail and Harry is basically evil and fully dependent on Venom at that point. MJ and Miles is all he had left.

The only thing I can guess is that Kojima is so comically over budget that he’s making those games look like they were conservative with their budgets.

I know Headache Kojingles has a cult like audience that’ll lap up whatever he makes, but if you were to tell me he saw GTA6 having $2B in budget and thinking he was worth that, I’d believe you.

At some point, when you've lost sufficiently many hundreds of millions of dollars, CFOs overrule everyone.

The thing about it too is Death stranding 1 and 2 are niche games at the end of the day that was never going to see major support from gamers. Physint however being a spiritual successor to a famed series like Metal Gear and Kojima wanting to make it for the fans cause he knew time is finite and it's something the people want is very different.

If Sony was smart, they should've not allowed Kojima to instantly go to Death Stranding 2 next but carrot stick lead him into developing Physint first then they'll support his artistic endeavors with Death Stranding 2 after. Like Sony did give Kojima too much leeway upfront and should've set goals for him.

Yeah, blank checks for the pretentious artsy fartsy bullshit that would never have mass appeal, as well as blank checks for the bungie purchase, concord, marathon, fairgames, horizon, vulvarine, SAARos, etc. But the spiritual successor of a series that routinely sells in the 7+ million range that people are desperate for and could very likely drive console sales, something the $1500+ ps6 is going to REALLY need, and that is when you suddenly become budget-conscious? Not to mention, just blatantly lying about the circumstances of the parting and hoping he wouldn't tell his side.

Sony is allergic to good decisions. Say what you will about our boy Kojima, you'll probably be right, but Sony's the same goddamn company that thought tripling down on its initial announcement and releasing shit like Concord and FairGame$ were good ideas.

In that case, Sony needs all the leverage they could get since they have no consumer goodwill left. I hate to say THIS, but the PS3 was a victim of circumstance. Sony fouled up in two ways, its price point and anemic infrastructure. Everything else, they dealt the right cards. Blu-Ray support, free (at the time) online, backwards compatibility, ergonomic console design. Well, three things. Cheaping out on capacitors that were prone to fail at a quicker pace, even comparable to the RRoD. I guess with Sony being forward thinking as innovators cost them the race.

I even have a comic on how the PS3 was like a car wash featuring Teresa Wright.

Exactly, they gave enough for a decade's worth of development, paid advertisement on Secret Level, plans for TV and film adaptations all before the first trailer and they double the budget for no other reason other than the fact that the devs wasted all the money doing nothing but running in circles on top of that! And then they say Kojima is the wasteful one!

Here is what I think: They run out of money but rather than cut the woke slop, they cut Kojima. We know how much Hulst loves woke slop so he cut something else.

FairGame$ actually got renamed to "Break In" which is absolutely hilarious because it's a game about niggers and browns stealing shit.
