Hulst has a serious problem since he takes thing personally. If he personaly likes it, it's good. If he doesn't, then it's dead. He didn't like Days Gone so it was dead. Doesn't matter it sold over 8 millions copies, he just didn't like it. He needs to be fired since he lacks professionalism.

Enough to remake Bloodborne and make a sequel. Sony is imploding at this point.

Hermen Hulst is the problem at Sony.

Sony is just lazy and now greedy. The greed should have them making remakes of games people really want like Bloodborne, but for some reason they are just refusing to listen. So many games that would easily sell and need remakes but instead we are getting games that are just them changing a few settings in the graphics options. More reason that PC will always be best.

Sony has to be doing it on purpose at this point. How can you ignore the pile of money that is Bloodborne unless you are just being petty. This is what happens when they go unchecked by competition. The ego is out of control.

Anybody connected to EA in anyway should never be allowed to talk. Incompetence is a job requirement.

@nessisonett Ok, first of all he was a footnote in history. He wasn't a samurai by any accounts. The more important thing is why did they choose him over ANY other notable Japanese samurai in a huge history? They completely ignored centuries of names to pick this one person. If you can't see EXACTLY why they did it then I don't know what to say.

@RoomWithaMoose That's the spirit, keep trying.

@RoomWithaMoose I never said I was upset. I simply pointed out the motive for why they did it. Good try on getting on your soapbox to cause drama. And if you had read my whole message you would have seen that I want them to explore other cultures.

Imagine scouring Japanese history to find one anomaly that you build an entire game off of to just pretend you care about diversity. What a shame. They should have just celebrated the rich Japanese history in this game and made another game devoted to another culture. So many cultures out there with great stories that could be easily woven into a AC game. But that would have cost more than a token gesture.

Sony will not learn anything from this disaster. They will fire some lower people and move on. The meetings will include blaming a toxic gamer space and that gamers are idiots. I'm sure they are already working on the next live service games.

The sad part is they haven't learned the lesson. They will F2P the game and it will fail again. There will be some streamers that will play it and claim it's good just so they can pretend to be the good guys. It will all be fake just for content. Nothing can fix the terrible art design, characters design or the fact it's just a cheap ripoff of Overwatch trying to cash in. Hopefully Sony will just right it off as a failure and move on. There does need to be some people fired but they most likely be the poor devs forced to work on this to make a living. No executives will be removed.

All that is happening right now is a long discussion on how to shut this embarassment down and avoid as much damage as possible. The game is completely dead. There is no saving it. No, the F2P option will not work. They are busy writing a very carefully worded announcement that will attempt to shift blame and make excuses to the market and toxic gamers. They will never admit that every decision was bad. Character design alone should have been a flag. Someone put it out of it's misery so everyone can move on. I'm sure the developer is blaming everyone else for being toxic.

This is exactly what we need to start reminding developers of what people don't want to buy. Live service games need to continue to fail to stop them. The problem is executives are too stupid to understand. This developer clearly should never be trusted to make a decision. Not one person there noticed how truly awful every aspect of this game turned out. The characters are so bad that I think someone needs fired.

Nacon has a history of this very thing. Now you have half a studio signing a letter which might be a death sentence. They will just kill the studio and move on. They don't care.

There isn't much acting in recent movies and shows Amazon. Videogames have better writers and actors that actually care about their roles. Most of them don't get paid well and outperform most celelbrities who only care about money and fame.

Well that studio is dead. Nacon is awful and they won't do anything. Greedfall 2 will never be finished now. What a shame. The first one was fun.

Sony is very greedy which makes the Bloodborne situation worse. They greenlit a full remake of Demon Souls which was shocking but not of Bloodborne. Everybody will buy Bloodborne. It's a pile of cash that Sony is ignoring for some reason. But they spent money on this game. Nothing makes sense now.

Nothing will save it. I doubt Sony will even let it go F2P since that trick rarely works. Sony is much more prone to killing things now. Somebody over the years should have realized it was awful and stopped it. I guess now people need to pay attention and not let a bad project move on. Hopefully this will lead to more scrutiny and actually good games. It's time to be tough again and stop wasting money.

They could have spent this money on games people keep asking for like Bloodborne. Talk about not caring about money anymore. That's what happens when you are on top.

It screams cheap ARPG created from a checklist handed down by people who don't like games but they want money. Normally I give games a chance but this is one time I won't. Bioware is really doomed at this point. Mass Effect will end up being worse than Andromeda.

This is going to get destroyed at launch. People are already locked and loaded. Bioware is already burning so this won't help.

Longer development simply means they have more time to make bad decisions. If they actually cared, they would empower the employees to create freely. Too many games are made by checklist from some higher ups. Nothing should be included just because it fits trends. Too much pandering.

Looks so generic.

The only good thing coming from this game will be the desperate announcements being comedy gold as it dies quickly. Sony has so many other IP's they could have remade, rebooted or made a sequel that would actually make money. They really have no clue about gaming.

Here we go again. Developer ignores feedback, game releases in bad shape, fans say we told you so, developer makes excuses, fans don't buy the game, game fails and developer blames fans.

When you are trying to convince people to give you money, you might want to listen or don't be surprised when they don't give you money.

Sony could have used this money to remake Bloodborne or a sequel. You know, a guaranteed cash cow. Sony is now so arrogant that the don't even care about greed.

There is no chance this game will do well. The style and companions alone are truly terrible. Bioware already has 3 strikes against it. They are just Bioware in name now. It's soulless. They would be better off remaking Origins but they would screw that up too.

What's worse is people who still haven't figured out that all this diversity is actually just pandering by corporations to make more money. They are milking you in a slick way. Things are being made from a checklist now. It's just marketing and none of them really care about it. I will never tell any creator how to create. I just walk away and not support them. Fake diversity is worse than changing the natural thinking of a person. It's a fake world that has some influences, but not all. Most people would never even connect it. TIme to grow up.

Everything is derivative. Give it up. It's a fictional world. They won't change anything. If you don't like it, don't play it. Simple.

Nudity is fine when it makes sense but I have no interest in these companions at all. The whole game looks terrible. It will not sell well which will cause a panic meeting and Mass Effect will get shifted. Some suit will get out a checklist and force changes.

I was looking forward to this game but after this I can say they are hiding something. They would get much more feedback to polish the game with the beta. Focus Home isn't exactly high end. I guess this will be a bargain bin game for me if it turns out ok later. I already know talked to 2 people that cancelled their preorder after this.

It doesn't bother me because I am intelligent enough to understand what the game is about. I don't buy a game then whine because it isn't to my liking. I simply go play something I will enjoy. If it's too hard then it's not for you. It's as dumb as buying and FPS game and being angry because there isn't enough fishing. Too many whiners now.

@3Above It's not that much harder. It is giving me a good fight but that just means I have to be more careful. Souls dlc always ramps up because it has to or returning players will walk over it. People just want their participation trophy so they can feel special and pretend they are actually good at the game. They are lazy, plain and simple.

I hope they don't change one thing. If you can't beat it then it's your problem, not the game. Play something else. All this whining from entitled people who think everything revolves around them. If I had my way I would delete Fortnite from the world but you don't see whining about it. I just play something I like.

Vultures circling Bioware right now. I love sad attempts to get ahead of the failure. Bioware should never have been in this situation.

@Maubari Just because you want to pretend you are better than people to make yourself feel superior doesn't change the fact you are as much of the problem as the people you subtley attacked. The game just looks bad and not a Dragon Age. It's a simple fact.

I wouldn't even take it for free. It's very obvious the direction they went is heavily influenced in a certain way. This isn't Dragon Age. Remove the references and you can see it's one step above eurojank rpgs. It will fail and probably sink Bioware for good. EA is waiting to make another cut for the investors.

Still looks awful. Bioware is like a rotting corpse. Mass Effect has no chance now if this is what they think is good gaming.

After that trailer, Dragon Age is dead. This might finally kill Bioware which might be good. They are so bad now that it's embarassing. EA will finally end them for the string of terrible games and decisions.

It has no chance. Enough said.

WB still hasn't learned from this. They are doubling down on live service now. Rocksteady is now a support studio. They will be gone soon. What a shame. Arkham games weren't perfect but still amazing.

They should have just made the game they wanted and told Xbox to go away. They don't need the small sales from them. Screwed PC and PS players instead. Terrible studio.

Microsoft screwed everyone with their junk console just to make some money knowing they were going to lose even with the X.

I wonder who at Sony wrote that and forced him to say it. The censorship was crude and amateur. It shows that no one with any design experience did it and it was last minute. This guy should be ashamed for being so pathetic.

Sony fanboys keep defending Sony. What a joke.

Nier: Automata story is almost nonsensical. It's like a bunch of ideas shoved together that don't actually fit together correctly. It lacked a design vision. Stellar Blade might end up being good. We'll have to see if it's deeper than a sexy main character.

No thanks. The three reboot games were amazing and she was finally portrayed correctly. Now were back to the vapid joke from before. I guess Crystal Dynamics really likes making games that fail now. And yes, it does look like she has male features.

I couldn't care less about this game. The live service stuff will kill it. My issue is they decided to make a game based on characters no none cares about. My guess they couldn't figure out how to handle Superman since his powers make him tricky. Justice league would have the same issue but either of those games would be better. Suicide Squad has always been awful. After this failure, will they run back to Batman or actually make a game people want.
