Damn as soon as you buy something Yuri something happens lol. Hopefully this doesn't take off not looking forward anymore hardware shortages. Might even consider buying another SSD now (wasn't really planning to until later this year or next) >_>

Lol yea, some luck. Hopefully it doesn't take off.

Days Gone Director John Garvin Says Metacritic Score Is Everything to Sony

https://wccftech.com/days-gone-director-john-garvin-says-metacritic-score-is-everything-to-sony/

Personally not a fan of this direction where smaller games from Sony like Gravity Rush that can get moderate sales and score can no longer be a thing. While it wasn't a big franchise, it certainly was the game that made me purchase a Vita at launch.

The biggest problems I have with that strategy is that A) Small studios will no longer be able to learn and grow making small scale or even AA games, they'll be used to remake/remaster older games or as an assist studio. In any case, nothing original will come from them; and B) Big scale games need a lot more development time, and that means less first party games per console cycle.

Just look at Naughty Dog, they developed Uncharted 1, 2 & 3 and The Last of Us for the PS3, but the only original games they did for PS4 were Uncharted 4, Uncharted The Lost Legacy (does it count as a full game?) and The Last of Us 2.

Sony needs smaller games to fill the gap between those AAA games that get all the Metacritic Highscores.

Yea pretty much. You look at say Nintendo. They have their big AAA titles but they also have quite a lot of smaller titles in between. I get the feeling that Sony is going the ways of other AAA companies where you will only get big releases that will play it safe instead of having a mix of both. Quite a shame really.
