I remember when Sony stans all called Concord an incoming success
I remember stanning Days Gone

I remember not being able to be concerned about ND
Naughty dog needs to show their stuff. It will be 4 years since they had a major release with nothing shown since.
I remember praising Naughty Dog for factions being cancelled and claiming that the parent company is doing perfect and nothing is happening.

Pathetic man. Naughty Dog during PS3 gen had two MP titles concurrently. Man I just wish we could get something MP that is NOT COD or Battle Royale Space with mad attachments and shyt shooter #34.

Horrendous output from Naughty Dog.

Horrible.:birdman:

Factions being canceled, UC4 MP being ass compared to 2 and 3. Just a shyt show all around. Instead of just giving players a simple arena based MP game, they decided they wanted to make sure you can feel the emotions of Elly's post tomboy transition rage in a heartfelt thriller that didn't fukking matter.


I'm going to throw my PS5 out of my basement window!!!


fukk you Naughty Dog, fukk YOU fukk YOU fukk YOU!!! You have ruined my life!!!

Man it feels good to be an irrational Sony stan :wow:.

Death Stranding 2 is out, why are you concerned with major gaming news? Are you even playing it with HDR?

Windows Central is currently investigating reports that Perfect Dark and ZeniMax Online Studios' new online IP have also been cancelled. We are awaiting hard confirmation, as Microsoft continues to let staffers know where the cuts are falling. ZeniMax Online Studios' new IP hadn't been formally revealed, but Perfect Dark has had multiple trailers since its announcement. The studio, The Initiative, has been working on the game for many years in partnership with Embracer Groups' Crystal Dynamics of Tomb Raider fame.

The full scale of today's Xbox layoff is not yet clear, but you can expect more news of project cancelations and job cuts as the U.S. west coast wakes up. Some studios are planning meetings within the next two hours.

People been talking about Sony's GaaS failures and layoffs the past 2 years. I've literally said multiple times that Microsoft has had the better software output the past year or so because I'm actually objective and care about gaming, while you're just a neurotic stan who deflects and projects dozens of times a day.

Have fun with all the olympian-level mental gymnastics you'll be doing for your next 20 posts replying to everybody. Hopefully you'll manage to keep at least 2% of your dignity with that neon green dikk in your mouth and Microsoft barcode on your forehead :mjlol:

:picard:

Nope. We are not the same.
  • MS begging to put all of their games on multiplatforms to cover the $80 billion Bussythesda + AssEnvision purchases. Sony is just doing it out of contractual obligations and to be kind to other starving platforms.
  • Sony has a fraction of MS’s net income. MS can afford to not lay those people off, but they do because they don’t care about their employees nor their Xbox fans. Sad!
  • PS5 has a strong brand image (and strong hardware sales), whereas Xbox doesn’t even know what it wants to be.
  • :snooze:

BREAKING: The new MMORPG project from Zenimax Online Studios, maker of Elder Scrolls Online, has been canceled as part of the Xbox layoffs, sources tell Bloomberg News. The project, code-named Blackbird, had been in development since 2018. Still more news to come this morning.
