    They consistently put out well written, story driven, compelling narrative games. Unless they need the money to stay open, they can take their time doing what they like.

        The last of us got turned into a tv show. A very successful tv show. That stayed mostly canon to the game.

        Thats a damn successful and well written video game.

          Don’t take what PrincessEli says too seriously. One quick look at their profile shows you they only have consistent garbage opinions.

            Reminds of that reddit meme of a guy realizing he has been discussing the taste of Italian food with someone who drank their own piss.

          I think the point of contention is the “consistently” part to which I disagree.

          Just because you can sucker a bunch of rubes with no taste into buying something, it doesn’t make it good. McDonald’s will never be fine dining, no matter how many billions of sludge burgers they sell

    If Sony was worried about that, they shouldn’t have forced them to work on a multiplayer GAAS instead of what they do best.

    These type of news are pointless. Tomorrow a trailer could be released about their obvious new game that they are working on and people will forget about this. Give them time to work on the game. It’s hypocritical that later we complain when companies release a unfinished product.

    After cancelling the TLOU: Online game, and no more games to remaster, ND is looking pretty stale right now

    They must be up to something. They have the pedigree to deliver a new IP franchise and for all anyone knows that is what they’re doing.

    It’s hard to have a proper conversation about this topic due to all the heavy emotions and toxicity it brings out, but I do think they missed the mark on TLOU2.

    I think they definitely anticipated it to be a bigger and more universal hit - the last sales number I heard was 10 mil after a few years, which is half of big PS hits, including their former flagship games (and the game was heavily discoundted after the first few months, bringing in less money than those quickly selling at full price).

    The show probably caused a sales boost mostly for the 1st game and it’s remake. Now I assume they will do the same with the 2nd season of the show and the TLOU2 remake.

    Still, these are all products building on existing creative content - where is the next step, what new thing(s) are they working on? I loved almost all their games, but I’m not going to spend money on the remakes of games I already played a few years ago.

    It seems like now would be a good time for Crash Bash to be revived. Or anything Crash Bandicoot. Does ND still have the license for Crash? I’m drawing a blank.

    Edit: they don’t. RIP. I’m unsure how that works after looking it up with all those studios.

    I’d say they’re doing a run of Uncharted remasters, they could do with some texture upgrades.
