Almost every studio and their games have been mismanaged this generation except for Naughty Dog.
Evolution Studios - stayed with the Motorstorm IP way too long. Shouldve never allowed the 3rd one to be developed, as their was no demand for it and the sales prove that. Shouldve moved on to a new IP after the 2nd Motorstorm came out. Apocalypse was delayed due to disaster in Japan last year. Sales were horrendous, and Evolution wasted 3 years of development time that they couldve used on something else. Many will use the tsunami and game delay as an excuse, but even if those did not happen, this game would not have sold much better than it did. Cambridge Studio - Shouldve stayed home all generation. All theyve done this generation is a LBP PSP port and "Tv SuperStars" with the MOVE. Pathetic and a complete waste of a studio. What is Sony paying these people for? Does Sony not check up on their developers? Atleast now theyre working on Killzone for VITA, so theyre doing something productive now. But what were they doing from 2005 to 2008? That's a good 3 years with NOTHING produced or even started. It all comes down to poor management from Sony.
JapanStudio/TeamICO - Another poorly mismanaged studio in Japan. They made games like Ico and Shadow of the Collosus. Now the PS3's lifecycle is almost over and we've yet to get even ONE retail release for PS3 from this studio. The Last Guardian is in limbo and has been delayed many times. It might never come out. So once again..... another developer wasted the entire generation. Sony is not using their devs and resources properly. Pathetic.
London Studio - *shakes head*.... they're responsible for PlayStation HOME..... They made SingStar... and they cancelled Eight Days and The Getaway.[sarcasm] Way to go Sony!!! You really know what your fans want!!! [/sarcasm]. Once again, its poor management and Sony putting their eggs into the wrong baskets. London studio and spent all generation developing HOME and Singstar, when they shouldve been putting out games like Eight Days and Getaway.
SCE StudioLiverpool - Not much to say here, because they simply havent done much. All theyve done is Wipeout, which was a PSN title in North America. Think about that for a second.... 6 years into PS3s lifecycle, and all theyve released was one PSN title. And Sony are paying everyone on this team a high yearly salary. no wonder Sony continues to lose so much money. |
I can agree with you on these 5 studios mismanagement but not others.
