I think Evolution Studios could be in danger of being shut down IMO

Yeap... I think the Evolution case was pretty obvious... they missed the deadline in over 6 months.


I don't think that Driveclub will be a success when released and Sony offering the game on PS+ will only hurt sales further.

The new people they higher better be just as good, or better.

Launch games are not released for profit. They are released for gamers to purchase the console. That was driveclubs job and they have failed big time. GT7 prologue is knocking at the door. They are way over their schedule.

Yeah they have to be the next to get "cuts". They missed the launch deadline and they still have no set release date. 

 

And 100MIL is A LOT to invest in a failed game. Sony must of had a lot of trust on this dude to let him throw away 100MIL.

What I don't understand (in business terms) is how do you let him reset the project so many times? It makes no business sense at all. 

and yes 100MIL is crazy high budget for a new IP

Plus games like uncharted or the last of us have much smaller budjet and sells more. Also they push the systems. Its easy to undersand how top sony officials feel. God of war ascension took $50 million and sold like shit. And compared to god of war ascension the last of us surpassed every exceptions.



And Team Ico like there is nothing wrong. If it wasn't because they have 2 masterpieces on their backs, the entire team would be fired by now. On topic: good to know, I just hope the new people is as good or better.



tagging... didn't read the whole thing will read later
