Why would Hulst ask that? The crap their studios are making is exactly what they want. All their studios are working with SBI or SBI-like consultants.
If he wouldn't do that then isn't that further proof that their word should be taken with a grain of salt? That just means we shouldn't believe anything they say.
So basically everyone should have been removed before Kojima because you like Kojima and not them? Got it.
It's going to be worse by the fact you can't even mod it out like you eventually could with Spider Man 2, unless they figure a way to easily get mods working on PS5 (mainly for those up and coming emulators) due to firmware version lockout likely going to be a thing for modded PS5s (as in they will not let the game run unless the console is at a minimum firmware version), and it's not going to have a PC version so people who would rag on it has a super easy example to point out that can't be avoided.View attachment 9563293
There is no way this is real, if it is... My god will this game flop, this is almost worse then the spider-man 2 homo zones. lmfao
Doesn´t help that wolverine looks like the literal definition of a soy suckling manlet who wears a "A black woman is speaking listen and learn" T-shirt.
Nah, the Astrobot guys can stay. They can make something charming and good. Apart from that, Kojima was not a normal guy but in comparison, he sucked less. I have only played 2 MG games and one of them is MGR:R. Not a fan of his but I know he has better pedigree than the rest of MODERN Sony.
He´s gonna consooooom all the sloppa like a good little soyim.
5 would have been really good if Sony had let him finish it instead of literally forcing him to deliver an unfinished game.
That was Konami, not Sony.
Good will isn't worth anything on the stock exchange.
Intergalactic isn't out yet. The only thing Sony execs read is revenue reports. If it bombs, Druckmann will probably have one more chance. That's how the industry works.
You get to act like a prima donna when every time you snap your fingers, oceans of money roll into people's pockets. Kojima hasn't had that magic for a very, very long time now. Metal Gear Solid has been fairly stable, but the ability to deliver single-digit million sales doesn't make you hot shit in 2026.
Kojima Productions has fewer than a 100 people. Death Stranding was very likely cheaper than any of us expect, engine was already made and it heavily leveraged procedural level design tools made for Horizon. This just sounds like scoping a game within budget correctly. I know a lot of people have a hate boner for Kojima for whatever reason, but I would argue game direction is not one of his faults, especially next to someone like Druckman who's company keeps pushing games out that take 6 years, cost half a billion dollars, require thousands of people, and have heavy crunch. Kojima gets his games out with a small team within a reasonable development cycle presumably without crunch, and it is assumed they have all made their money back. He said Death Stranding made its money back, not sure about 2
Good will helps estimate interest.
Then they should read more. What the customers liked or disliked. Head in sand management is not management at all. How about they started doing their job?
Sony has recently gotten mad at Naughty Dog for prolonging the development of Interstellar.
You do if you have friends in the company. That's what all this is about
