*Sigh* Welp at least they might have learned something from this whole ordeal. Though, I also see this as being only part of their fiscal restructuring and terminating the projects that seemed less ideal in their development so far.

I mean, Marathon the game by Bungie is still coming + another new IP from a smaller team that was created from the staff "exchange" last year.

Man ... The PS5 appart from some of the good 3rd party games is proving itself to have one the worst 1st party lineup in Sony's overall history

Sony's first 2 full years lineup on PS5 is quite good actually, much better than PS4 if we ignore that they weren't full exclusives. But PS4 arguably caught up later.

Bend was irrelevant from PS2 and until Days Gone (which was alright I guess). Bluepoint released a PS5 launch title and their best game to date. Concord was from a new studio that never released anything, so not much is lost.

They could have done a better job but overall the lineup isn't weak. Returnal, Helldivers 2 and Astro Bot are more fresh than anything they released on PS4 (VR aside).

Naughty Dog has been a joke though, and the lack of exclusivity is kinda turning the console into a "less optional Xbox". I would also love to see them return to smaller projects, like the countless games they published prior to PS4. I'll love Concord forever if the trauma causes them to return to smaller games.
