Does Nintendo often announce controversial games but they end up really good?

Most of these games had very little to do with Sony... Dust514 was entirely developed by CCP games I believe.

Otherwise, I don't recall many of these games being ripped on; I myself was excited for quite a few of these in fact though, in the case of Dust514, I was very much let down. We're talking about games that people initially dislike but are eventually swayed.

Most of those? Only one is not published by Sony, that's Dust 514. The rest all were published by Sony.

Also let's not forget MotorStorm and Wipeout were risky, and Gran Turismo and God Of War were huge risks when they were made. Of course now they aren't risks anymore, but at the time of their release there was nothing like them in the market.

Ok I won't argue that, I was mostly thinking of in-house projects as opposed to published games but I suppose that distinction would rule out some of Nintendo's longshots that I mentioned earlier heh. Many of those games were well underwell before they were picked up by Sony, but I won't fault Sony for having an eye for hidden gems.

Yeah, there's definitely been some chance takers published by Sony, and I'm glad for it as a few of them are among my favorite titles. I'm still holding out hope that Dust514 is better incorporated into the EVE universe and receives a gen 8 release as well... While it never grew huge (I think maybe half a million players tops), that EVE Online universe has likely been the most stable of all MMO's, and they never stop working on it.

I've played the Planetside franchise on and off for longer than most as well.
