@NameBunchaNMBRS@boltthrower989@RinoTheBouncer@Wario64 Kojimas last two games were NOT system sellers lol. The ps4 already had reach its peak before DS came out and DS2 did absolutely nothing for ps5 sales lol. Spider-Man 2 on the other hand sold 20 million + and made Sony / Marvel 1.2 billion I believe is the number.
@swagbebaa@DeadlyBolt4456@SynthPotato If OD under performs and PHYSINT is 300-400 million into development and still looking at another 2-3 year turn around with more cost then I realistically can’t see Microsoft approving it to continue.
@DeadlyBolt4456@swagbebaa@SynthPotato Oh.. OD is out in players hands and is running well glad to hear it. Kojima worked with decima for nearly 10 years. If you think will just slip right in with UE5 when a good chunk of the industry has struggled with the engine you’re just lying to yourself.
@zimkarma2006@BayonettaQueen@SUPERBLOWFLY The last of us (2013) and part 2 definitely changed the trajectory of the gaming industry. One changed how storytelling was approached for gaming and one was a technical marvel that still has yet to be touched.
@DeadlyBolt4456@swagbebaa@SynthPotato Yes and there are equal amount if not more of games that run terribly but look gorgeous and some that look flat out bad. Claire 33 is the best example of when a studio maximizes the engine. Unfortunately most of the industry doesn’t have the same skill set as them to use it.
@BaillBron@jreacherbg Now we’re in a situation where if OD doesn’t succeed then PHYSINT will without a doubt be canceled and kojima will be back to square one where he was in 2015. I hope the best for him but understand why Sony cut their losses with the guy.
@BaillBron@jreacherbg Aye man when you become a financial risk to these companies you can’t be mad when they cut you. Personally it does suck that this entire situation is happening because it thought it was pretty sick that both Xbox and PlayStation were getting exclusive games.
@Travis_M_H_83@xMBGx That’s the loud minority of people complaining about both games man. I’m not a mind reader but I do know what #those people are saying and it’s because women are the leads for both games.
@DeadlyBolt4456@swagbebaa@SynthPotato The engine is difficult to work with and that’s why most games that use it look so bad lol. It’s not necessarily a “bad” engine it’s just hard to develop with which in turn produces bad looking games.
@Overspark44@DMC_Ryan 2027 will be a better year for them from a sales and critical standpoint. Unless GOW and Intergalactic both seriously shit the bed, those are both guaranteed money makers and critically praised GOTYCs
@AstrosHokage@Undead_Scout@charlieINTEL DS1 was critically panned mostly and a lot of didn’t enjoy it. Word of mouth goes a long way and if most people who are kojima fans are telling other kojima fans this game is mid then they won’t buy. For example MGS4 sold incredibly well despite being a ps3 exclusive.
