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.

Having been in a similar situation, you really do get to a point where you've thrown so much money around that the people in the company who manage the cash tell you that you're just done. You can make any argument you want about why this time will be different. You lost too much on the last few runs. Overbudget, behind schedule, and after the last few flops? You don't get the kind of leeway you used to.
 
Sony must be in serious trouble financially if they were willing to cut bait on Kojima of all people, despite his history. Going over budget? They knew what they were getting into when they originally partnered with him. Someone looked at the books and said “We can’t afford this shit anymore.”
 
I'm seeing a lot of cope on X about the Wolverine game.

"Like zomg if the hand holdy UI is bothering you that much just turn it off Chud!"

Both Skillup and Paul Tassi have confirmed that there is no option to turn any of these UI pointers off.

Looks like they are preparing for the PS6 low sales.

And what if it was? The game is balanced around having a ton of pointers. I assume that without them, it would be unplayable.

When the fuck did designing games so the likes of DSP could comfortably play them to completion? Shit, did they have DSP playtest this shit?

I hate that there's seemingly no middle ground between "Hand Holdy Nonsense" and "Souls-Likes" in terms of vidya difficulty anymore.

When even Paul Tassi is not prepared to hype you up you know the game is unsalvageable shit.

SkillUp I trust. Through he often goes out of his way to not dump too much on games and always tries to find something positive.
My calibration of his reviews:
He recommends it == it is a great game
He is positive but does not outright recommend it == beware. it may be pretty mid and you might be disappointed
He is mildly negative == it is terrible, we are talking Ride To Hell Retribution levels of terrible.

Him going outright saying it is a bad game. That is very out of character for him. He didn't even go that far when it came to Veilguard. Only other time I can recall him outright calling a game bad was RedFall. Jesus christ. Is this game RedFall levels of bad?

How long is this Marvel license?

Considering Spiderman is in the MCU, I assume Disney allows them access to their Marvel IP as payment. "We can use Spiderman and you can ride the positive publicity it gives to sell consoles."
 
The fucking Wolverine game went from slightly interested to not even caring to maybe the worst Sony game ever. From the gameplay its just pressing the up button and he walks and jumps and everything. Sony be acting like my heroin addicted uncle

If Wolverine can somehow sell 6 million, the video game industry is truly dead. The Goyim will have fully accepted slop as the norm.

And even if it doesn't sell that money, Sony WILL attempt every spin move to make Wolverine look like it's a success.

On a side note, aside from the upcoming GT7 Spec IV update that's in 2 parts, has Polyphony Digital mentioned anything about making a new game? Or is GT7 their limit and they will just milk the game until the end of time?
