Re: Poll: Are You Planning to Buy Bungie's Marathon?

Sony has a real problem on their hands; their fanbase wants their live service games to fail so bad. Hard to turn public sentiment around in that environment. I think their press approach for Marathon, having a glow out of information through influencers and press, is wise and the sentiment is very positive if a bit wait and see. Regardless though there is a huge chorus of folks hoping for this game to crash and burn. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

The art style is AWESOME. Super slick, great colours and also looks really readable from a gameplay perspective.

@Titntin Fair point, I'm not reffering to the graphics quality or how well it runs, but the actual art design. It's a generic realism with no personality. A lot of tech allows us to make high quality assets and worlds but sadly there's not much actual artistic thought put into them beyond realism. A really scourge in game development at the minute I think

Re: Sony Cancels Bluepoint, Bend Studio PS5 Games, One Being a Live-Service God of War Title

"God of War live service" of all the stupid ideas!
Jim Ryan did great launching the PS5 but clearly hadn't a clue what he was doing with the studios, and I'm deeply concerned about Herman's judgement too. What a waste of time from 2 great studios. We should be hearing and soon playing their latest single player games. This is so frustrating to hear, I am genuinely angry
