I wonder how would YongYea favor this game. I guess people are becoming fatigued of Marvel games and Sony themselves. It couldn't had happened to a better company. However, I worry about the next Ratchet & Clank. If Sony wants to salvage Insomniac, they'd need to start a Sunset Overdrive sequel.

I realize this is stupid question.. Don't really know how it all works, but just because Sony not publishing/developing Physint, this doesn't exactly mean it will be exclusive to Xbox only when it releases, does it? The game itself could still be multiplatform, right?

Microsoft might let it be multiplat but its up to them if they're funding it. Sony would have kept it exclusive like Death Stranding 1 was for years and 2 still is.

If Microsoft gets grifted by Kojima like he did Konami, it may come out on both at once to recoup costs.

It'll probably be on PC eventually either way.

Interesting, I also know that these boondoggles started before generative AI took off as well. I know DLSS 5 is also coming here for assistance in this as well.

Utter layman opinion: Just about anything to do with working with any kind of data is going to become increasingly inextricable from AI assistance/performance. You are completely correct in that repetitious tasks (“render these textures at this resolution working within parameters x-y-z”) is what it currently excels at but AI have been writing their own code for a while now so offloading more and more increasingly complex tasks to it as humanity begins to shift its labor again in ways similar to the introduction of things like the steam engine driving the Industrial Revolution is I think a pretty natural progression. So from a wider perspective as well as a single-user practical sense, you’re correct, it just appears to me that the next-step QC following introduction of AI-processed code is where entertainment industries need to put some money toward developing some expertise.
 
Has anyone here played Wolverine X-men origins? Save some money and time and skip the new wolverine and play origins instead. Badass game

Where do games come from? "When a mommy company and a daddy company love eachother very much..."? Obviously not, business partnerships happen because both sides agree the partnership makes financial sense. Sony dropped Kojima because they believe their partnership does not currently make financial sense. But Microsoft does? What's the deal? The most likely thing is that Sony's financials are bad enough right now that they had to choose between GTA and Kojima, and they chose GTA. Everyone knows that PHYSINT will almost certainly turn a profit (and cancelling a project for a tax writeoff is not a "get all your money back" button), but Sony needs big hits right now to get into a healthy financial position. Sony would have continued to support Kojima forever if Marathon sold 10 Morbillion copies because prestige titles are important for their brand even if they might not make all their money back.

Sony shareholder probably want the immediate return from live service slop games which kojima won't do. Microslop shareholders are still getting good returns from their cloud business and gaming is only a tiny slice of their portfolio so shareholders probably don't care as much
 
I am increasing convinced that the heads of Microsoft and Sony are tired of video games and dont want to deal with the headache.

But they know if they cancelled them outright there would be massive anger, backlash, questions as to what the hell they are doing, and (most importantly) a stock hit... so they have decided to kill them but slowly so no one notices.

Withdrawing support, being obtuse, being inefficient, making a bunch of "oopsies" withdrawing support, firing studios... until one day they are on maintenance.. they wont announce it but it will be the same.. then years from now when no one even remembers consoles and only 100 people care ...they will write he whole thing off because of some minor disaster like "due to hard drive supply we have discontinued playstation 6 development". And it will be over.
 
What a shocker that the company that watches DSP videos and jots down notes on how to make their games suit players like him as if they're looking at a zoo animal creates games that assumes the player is mentally retarded.

I am one hundred percent in favor of the small prestige studio era of gaming, where everything from inception to marketing is done in-house. This is where the “digital-only” thing is such a double-edged thing to my mind because to a great degree it eliminates distribution costs which was a barrier to entry into games from day one. The last time smaller developers were able to publish/distribute was back in the days of devs putting ads for their stuff in all the super-specialized gaming mags (Atari, Speccy, etc), which was 30-40 years ago; you’d cut them a check in the mail and they’d send you a floppy with art they likely drew or commissioned themselves. I’m ready for the Star Trek Future version of that
 
I don't know why sony would do this. I also don't know why people are saying kojima "grifted" Konami when their entire company was basically based on titles he created. I also don't know why anybody would wish for an independent studio like his to fail either way.

What's the alternative? More absolute slop from EA or whoever and more bankrupt creativity? At least Kojima is out there trying to do something.

Very true, but Kojima Productions was a publishing deal versus wholly owned failchildren like Bungie and Guerrilla. Cutting him loose doesn't require eating a huge write-down on their balance sheet.

I get that but at the same time, they greenlight shit that cost them more. Cutting him off might be easier but not wiser.

Sony is committing seppuku with every modern move. From cancelling discs to now cancelling their partnership with a gaming industry veteran (even if you have your opinions on Kojima, it’s undeniable this is bad optically), they’re basically letting Xbox take advantage of their mistakes.

Whoever is running PlayStation has got to be one of the dumbest motherfuckers on earth.

My scam sensor is going off.
This is another rugpull scheme like the guys at Disney are doing. They're looking to cannibalize the company, strip it bare and sell all the parts for a quick payout. But if they were to call to dissolve Sony now, the shareholders would go "but look, the company still has so much going for it, surely we can salvage this somehow.". So before they can liquidate it, they need to tank it so hard that nobody thinks it can be saved. All the money that WOULD go towards memejima's studio, is now being funnelled directly into some c-suite employee's bank account in ways that probably violate various fiduciary regulations.

They better pray to the shinto gods that nobody among the shareholders knows or is remotely related to anyone who browses sites like this.
