As for excluding certain studios I thought I made that clear, what part don't you understand, as Japan is a seperate entity with different management so common sense would dictate that Naughty Dog wouldn't be including them in the statement. not just shooters neccessaraly if you read the quote it only refers to visual styling, the fact that the majority of western Sony developed IPs this gen do match that brief, and that covers all the Studios working on AAA retail releases (note that I am using the industry meaning of the term, A grade budget, A grade telent and A grade advertising not review score) in the west. The only franchises that survived from last generation were ether very successful or also matched the brief. Also who is talking about right now? It's clear we are talking about games that were in development from 2005-7. Obviusly the directive was given at the start of the generation later in the generation Sony switched stratergy but that doesn't make the statement untrue. And there were other studios that conhtinued franchises that already met the brief like killzone, God of War (fantasy elements but gritty violent and 'realistically' modeled main char) and also suxker punch. Also I don't get why you think that a Naughty dog dev would lie about this he said all studios were directed to make games closer to a style that was popular on Xbox (notice I don't say 360) Killzone was positioned as a 'Halo killer' what more do you want? Also i don't get why you think a 'big push' would = all games changing it's not all or nothing |
He was clearly addressing the topic creator with that, given the thread title claims "ALL SONY studios sold out".
