Says It 'Would Not Exist if It Wasn't for PlayStation'

"This game would not exist if it wasn't for PlayStation, if not for their support," Intihar stated. "Any time I wanted to do something, and I wanted to make some drastic change, it was just like, 'Okay'. I never heard about anything. It was just like, 'Go do it.' The question was, 'Is it gonna make the game better?' and I'd say, 'Yep', and they'd go, 'Okay', and that would be the last time I'd hear about it."

"So many people want to talk about Marvel and Insomniac - which is awesome... But I owe everything to PlayStation".

This is why Sony and PlayStation are the best. They’re an extremely hands-off publisher, and their games are of the highest quality because they don’t force their studios to do constant rehashes of the same franchises, and give their developers full creative freedom when they do choose to work on established franchises. No rushing, no hanging heads over shoulders, just constantly striving to be better and produce games that people love.

Thats awesome,but kinda funny that Sony gets praised for ''it wouldnt exist without playstation'' but when Nintendo made Bayo exclusive because 2 and 3 wouldnt exist without Nintendo, its trashed and looked down on, huh.

Either way, this is a good thing at the end of the day, high quality game for us. I gotta get back on it, my backlog between Spider-Man,DQXI is backing up quickly.

Good guy Sony.

So often you hear devs say how easy it is to work with sony, that you must logically ask the question "why isnt it like that everywhere else?".
Giveing developers the freedom to make their games the way they want it, obviously results in better games.

This is nice and all, but how often do you hear a developer complain about the companies supporting their work? People generally don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. I don't generally hear people complaining about Microsoft or Nintendo micromanaging them.

Regardless, it obviously is good of any company to let the people working for them, or working on their behalf, have the freedom to do a good job.

Like I've stated before. These guys better get the job to make a Superman game or other Marvel properties. Mainly the one I'd want is Superman though, so many years have passed and this character has never had an actually really good game like Spider-Man and Batman have had. Superman deserves one big epic game

Last time a developer spoke about MS he said and I quote: “Those shits at MS… are they fucking with me…?”That was Kamiya over a year before Scalebound got cancelled.

While you're right that devs don't often come out and say negative things about their publishers, it's also a fact that don't go out of their way to praise how much freedom and support they're getting either. This seems to happen with Sony time and agin though. Kojima has said it several times. Naughty Dog has said it. Guerrilla Games has said it. And it's not just words we can see it in the games being made. 

Hell even the heads of studios Sony has closed have had this same sentiment:

Sony First Party Studios Are Masters of Their Own Destiny, Says Former Sony Dev: https://gamingbolt.com/sony-first-party-studios-are-masters-of-their-own-destiny-says-former-sony-dev

Even the studios Sony shut down agree that they were supported in every way possible and their downfall was their own doing. That's not something I've seen regarding any other publisher.

You forgot the best game of all time

Yes, and I'm sure cars would not exist if it wasn't for Henry Ford. I hate that stupid argument. If something does not exist, it's only a matter of time before it does if there is enough demand.

There is no excuse for exclusivity, just plain old money reasons.

I agree with you that there needs to be a good Superman-game, and then there is that persistent rumor that Rocksteady is making it. Now that Insomniac has made Spider-Man they probably will continue making more Spider-Man, without spoiling to much the ending certainly sets that up
