Forums - Gaming Discussion - Beyond: Two Souls release date vs. PS4 launch date.

Well, all I know is, if it turned out to be a PS4 exclusive, I'd have to buy a damn PS4.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I am thinking Q3 for Beyond. There are also still games like Last Guardian and Final Fantasy Versus XIII still in development. People think that they might be changed to the PS4, but I find that unlikely given the time they have spent on the PS3 version. I think these will be released after PS4.

Or maybe it won't tell is anything since Sony will be supporting PS3 for years to come?

I think this... but they will definitely not release a major anticipated PS3 title around same time as PS4 unless the PS4 is fully Backward Compatible.

Im not really seeing how beyond two soals and the release of the ps4 are related...
God of war 2 released on the ps2 after the ps3 came out.

Plus, quantum dream isnt even owned by sony. They arent going to toy around with the release date from a game made by a studio that they dont own. Unless they dont care to work with them ever again in the future.

They don't own them, but they fund their productions.

The release dates of 2013 title has nothing to do with the launch of ps3. like the guy above me pointed out, GOW2 came out AFTER Ps3 is out, it's perfectly fine to do so...especially if they make PS4 backwards compatible.

Yes, so that means if sony holds off on releasing a game they finished, the studio is still on the hook for salaries and upkeep without having the benefit of revenue from a game they made.  Do you see how that kind of behavior might sour a relationship?

Hum... Do you have any idea what you are talking about?

The people working daily on games, get their salaries every weeks. Just like anybody else.  ¬_¬

Lol, did you read what I said?  Those salaries dont come from thin air man since quantum dream is not owned by sony, those salaries are paid to the employees by quantum dream.  Now sony financed their game, which means the developer got some money from sony to keep them going until the game is complete.  This money is generally paid out in installments based on progress on the games development.  Now, if the game is completed, those payments from sony end. 

Of course, this is all a moot point because my main point I was trying to make is that sony will keep releasing ps3 games after the ps4 comes out so the release datefor beyond two souls doesnt correlate with the ps4 launch at all.

What a poor administrator must be running the company, if they run out of cash all the time like this and can't afford to pay their employees. ¬_¬
