| LudicrousSpeed said: Yet they weren't independent, and weren't pressured by investors. They were owned by Sony, and told by Sony to make it more like CoD, and then shut down when it (not surprisingly) failed. So again, the less studios MicroSony owns, the mo betta imho. |
As already said it could come from Sony, investors of CEO of the studio. Being owned by Sony or not can't be put as the main reason the game looked like CoD. And I say this coming from several developers that developed what they wanted and said Sony didn't pressure them to make a specific game. They even allow some devs to stay developing a game for several years and hold their financial side... and if that dev was independent it would have gone under.
