New IP. Worth investing in it?


Is this a post implying that Sony wouldnt take a risk on a new IP worth investing in, in a Heavy Rain/ Quantic Dream thread?


It is a post replying a man who said Microsoft don't take risk on a thread about why Heavy Rain was turned down by Microsoft, yeah.

you sure it was a man, not a banana?


I'm not sure about anything anymore.

I think you got the jist of it quite nicely.

Im surprised there isnt a forum called that... more than half of the threads would go there.

Sony 18+
Microsoft 12-18
Nintendo under 12

Sounds funny that we are to take anything away from this information. M$ decided not to do a game and Sony did. No lesson or things to read into. I am sure that the same can be said for dozens of games or business decisions. I think the OP is looking a little to hard at it to get anything other than an interesting bit on how one game went through the development cycle.

Microsoft was very much scared to take a risk here, while sony was not.


It happens all the time. Sony didn't want to take risk with Alan Wake either, that's why the game ended up on Microsoft platforms.


Source? I find it hard to believe Sony would have turned down Alan Wake when they happily threw money at Heavy Rain, Until Dawn, Puppeteer, L.A. Noire, Uncharted, The Last of Us, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance, inFAMOUS, Journey, etc.. Most of these titles are far riskier than an interesting Stephen King action thriller.

i think the posters here are taking things to much too heart. when another user on here who is an xbox fan makes over 150 threads a month about anything pro-xbox its considered okay when he just literally spams the forums. but when i make a thread about when of my favorite games i am "trying to hard". note how i did post my personal opinion in a post not in the OP so i wouldnt try to make things an xbox-PS fanboy war. geez, you people need to chill

Right-o. This post made it seem like you were saying Sony wouldnt take the risk, when followed up woth your new IP post.

Sorry for the confusion.
