| LudicrousSpeed said: I’ve seen a lot of people at various places claiming this is the beginning of the end for Sony in the GaaS market, but that’s not accurate at all. They still had a massive hit in that space with Helldivers II this year. And there’s still Gran Turismo, which is a live service/GaaS now, and MLB, and they now own Destiny, and there’s Marathon coming, and still that Jade Raymond studio game with a $ sign in it somewhere, and other projects I am forgetting. |
I think that's the point - they need to build on the successes they've had over time (i.e. GT & MLB were existing IP's; Helldivers had a clear direction building on the last game), rather than just throwing everything at a new studio and new IP with nothing behind it.
I still think nixxing TLOU Online, even though it has undoubtedly freed up resources for Naughty Dog to go back to single-player games, was probably a mistake. That cancelled multiplayer Spider Man game from Insomniac would also likely have been a better starting point than this.
