| crissindahouse said: All games MS cancelled the last years were bad. Why do people want these bad games so badly? Sure, MS could have released all these terrible games just to have more exclusives but none of these games are games anyone on this planet really needs as long as they don't get even more years dev time to be maybe "ok" and not bad anymore. |
It's called having faith in the console manufacturers. Like it or not Sony is more or less the most "Loyalty" based console manufacturer, which is ironic because they are probably the most anti-consumer console manufacturer this generation. But what I mean by this is that most of Sony's projects are built around the idea of making sure Sony fans are satisfied. Sony is like an insecure girl who does all she can to make her boyfriend happy in every way. They have spent so much time and care on The Last Guardian, and while the game could have been much better with improved controls and more stable frame rates - look what happened when it released - some people felt the problems were too bad to enjoy it , but MOST PEOPLE felt the game was great enough to look past the problems, hell some people felt it was a downright masterpiece. Is Sony contracting Activision to make Crash Bandicoot because it's a system seller? Not really ... they're doing it because they know there's a market for it and that Sony fans feel disfatisfied with Crash's treatment.
I've heard people say time and time again "who cares , it's Scalebound. It looked bad and buggy". And to them I say this - you must take the footage we've seen for granted. Compared to The Last Guardian, Shenmue 3, Final Fantasy 7, etc etc the game looked far more along and even though it needed some smoothining out it was almost ... almost there. The gameplay footage is criticized wayyy to much as a way to try and excuse the cancellation. The reality is tha Microsoft probably wanted a huge grand multiplayer 4 player mode that couldn't be supported on such weak hardware - and I don't think Microsoft was willing to make it a Scorpio exclusive. More than likely, the single player would be just fine by itself.
