Forums - Sony - Rumor: Sony has parted ways with The Order 1886 developer

Well...Sony owns the Order ip, so they could have another studio make a sequel...

Hey Naughty Dog....if you guys are bored after Uncharted 4 comes out...I would figuratively die if ND made the next Order game.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Third parties exclusives should stop.

If the game is well received the developer doesn't sell as much as they could have.
If the game is no well received, they lose the publisher's support (and their IP like in this case)

I usually like how Sony treats their developers, but cutting the relationship with RaD just because they had a bad game its just a little too drastic. I know its called business, but RaD did an amazing job for such a small team.

Jesus Christ, cry me a river. We're all really sorry that Sony doesn't exclusively develop 50 metascore, to please you.


Metascore, metascore, metascore.. Do you drink metascore? Is it the water that gives you life?

I don't, you apparently do. What was it? "I'll boycott any AAA game with a metascore of 70 or higher" or some BS? You're just trying to be forcebly edgy and are probably still pissed becuase you didn't get to feed everyone crow with the Order. The game isn't great, get over it.



I posted this in the other thread, and I'll post it here. Sony's second 2nd party developer relations department or whatever is responsible for this. Every time a second party game doesn't do well, Sony kicks them to curb. They don't know how to manage second party relationships anymore.



This is a bad step from Ready at Dawn!
I enjoyed The Order: 1886 and the God of War games from Ready at Dawn also were good games.

It is great. Get over it.

I really really hope they learn from the lessons of what happened to Crytek.

I don't even know what Crytek are doing at the moment. If I were to take a guess I'd say they are working in next Crysis. I remember though there were some rumors about financial struggles within the company some months back. A dire fate for Crytek indeed.

Yeah, Crytek suffered some serious financial hardship for awhile there, simply because people wanted more than just a pretty game.  Which isn't an entirely unreasonable request.  Plus, their engine was hideously expensive to license, and they generally just made themselves unattractive as a dev.  They really did well when focusing on the bleeding edge hardware...at least, from my perspective, not sure how profitable it was.  But, Crysis 1 is certainly the best game they've made in years (and with a thin story line, that should tell you something).
