I believe Shu has said that a team of only 20 people has been working on the game... so i'm sure its not the end of the world. Only if they plan to squander alot of money advertising.

Hate to see this atitude from the higher ups trying to influence development for the sake of possible sales. Now they even have the gall to say it publicly. I really don't like it.

I say let the developers do what they want and looking at the scope of the project you decide on wich business model fits and how far you go with spending.

The game is not going to be finished by only 20 people that much should be obvious.

And you hate seeing managers "have the gall" to say that they want their own projects to be profitable? I find that to be an extremely weird stance to have, just like the "let developers do what they want"-opinion, you can't do that, there are certain things that are just completely financially unviable and the higher ups are there to weed out the projects that just don't work. These people are still paid by Sony so it's them that should accomodate to what Sony wants or is willing to accept and not Sony that has to work with what these devs want to make.


You misunderstand. The developer propose the game they want to work on. Its aproved if it fits with a business model. Its not very different from what happens already.

There is nothing weird about it. What i dont want is for higher ups to disrupt the development creativity so we dont have shoehorned stuff like other games have.

Yes they have to do what they are told cause they are workers, but if you tell them what to do, they wont have room to spread their creativity and you end up with a flat product that fails.
