I think you are giving Sony a little too much credit but they have indeed worked very quickly at letting MP offerings being mostly 3rd party based after many of their PS4 MP games failed to gain much traction.
And it Def works by having their studios more SP focussed. Also that wasn't Cory's game. It was Stigs. It was cancelled because it was failing to meet production goals, not because it was similar to something like Destiny. |
You are right that it was stigs game, but it was cancelled coz it was similar to Destiny and No man Sky, this has been reported by many insiders who left SSM when the layoff happened. Official Sony and SSM statement is that the game was cancelled because it was not meeting production goals, which according to one insider who also leaked games concept art meant that the games development started having problems when destiny was revealed. Sony felt the two games were too similar, and with destiny having far bigger budget, development team and hype sony feared that SM game would just end up getting buried. So they tried to have the dev team re-imagine the game to make it more distinct, but it would seem they weren't happy with the new approach or it wasn't progressing like it should so in the end they decided to cut their losses and refocus the resources onto God Of war reboot.
