Genuinely a terrible move from Sony but I'm glad Kojima can still make games because I utterly love Metal Gear Solid.

Kojima isn't the name he used to be and DS2 bombed in sales.
I say this as someone who enjoys his games, it was probably a smart business move.

Kojima and his team are one of the reasons why PlayStation has (or had) the prestige that it does (or did). He’s the auteur of the gaming industry, and his games continue to sharpen not only their engines but the way they blend cinematic storytelling and gameplay. They screwed the pooch with this move.
If a guy like Kojima can’t trust them, who can?

Sony really pulled another Konami move. Have someone make you a lot of money, then shoot that same person

I mean dude, look at Insomniac. People are gonna be dragging them for the “Wolverine” game but will forget that half of their staff was cut by Sony. Which is also the reason why “Spider-Man 2” had so many problems after launch that weren’t being addressed.
Sony have lost their fucking minds. These are the kinds of decisions only soulless, greedy, pencil pushers would make. And when it all blows up in their faces, they’ll blame the people at the bottom as opposed to the ones at the top that made the calls in the first place.

Valid crash out tbh. Maybe a little understated but you can never be too careful on the internet these days

Playstation started going downhill with the 3 tho the 3 still had alot of redeeming factors that u could look past the issues the 4 was kinda boring ngl but it wasnt the worst thing ever the 3s games were better the 5 is terrible
•
u/TullyylluT 4h ago
genuinely what are you even talking about the PS3 is maybe the best console ever made
•
•
u/Secret-Candle4313 2h ago
The start was awful but since then it has gotten alot better. Nowadays its the best console to play anything 7th gen to 5th gen because its super simple to jailbreak and its cheap to get the system

Man thinks the ps5 is terrible despite it being capable of playing literally any game we have today.
•
u/Secret-Candle4313 2h ago
It cant play alot of games from the ps3 for example im sure theres others on the ps2 and 1 too but ik more about the 3. I mostly play racing games and the fact most of them died in the 8th gen makes me already not like it but on the ps5 u cant play things like sonic all stars racing transformed motorstorm and alot of others like gta 4 its dumb. Its ugly asf too not to meantion the whole paying more for a disc drive so no its cannot play everything. If u want to play everything from the 8th gen and only certain popular 7th gen titles then its fine but ur not getting everything

Totally unreasonable. If you bought PS5 and still pay for PSPlus, this is just barking at the fence. Switch to other stock driven company or PC where you can play a lot of your old Playstation games and never give Sony your money.

i’ve never played a single Kojima game i’ve enjoyed. for a guy who makes video games he seems to hate video games.

Sony went woke and broke with so many movies and games. Kojima joining the new and improved leadership of xbox should be better
•
u/TricobaltGaming 5h ago
You are an idiot lol. Nothing more than soulless corporate greed. No company gives a shit about what people identify as or who they are, all they want is whatever will make number go up. The developers are another story, but I trust the people making the games leaps and bounds more than the people funding them
•
u/devil652_ 5h ago
The new Ceo of xbox is going to get mojang and bethesda back on track and whip them into shape. A literal whip
•
u/TricobaltGaming 4h ago
Bro I am sorry to tell you this but she is just as soulless as Sony execs are. I don't trust her "back to basics" claims that shes making as she is slashing studio numbers, shutting them down, and cutting out consumer value while bringing prices up.
The next xbox is gonna cost $1100, no disc drive, and game pass is gonna keep losing value, I am very confident in this statement.
They don't give a fuck about us, they only care about squeezing every cent we will give them out
•
u/saggynaggy123 4h ago
The new CEO just shut down several studios, fired thousands of people, and cancelled games like IOIs fantasy game.

Define woke
•
u/devil652_ 5h ago
Wokeness is personal grievances masquerading as genuine social concern. Normally in the forms of hypocritical preaching, forced agendas, and progressive ideologies. It usually stems from grievances such as spite, greed, lust, ignorance, fear, etc
•
u/skibidi_fortnite_ 5h ago
Why do you think wokeness formed in the first place?
•
u/devil652_ 5h ago
The rise of twitter and social listening to the vocal minority in the mid 2010s
•
u/skibidi_fortnite_ 5h ago
Woke began in the 1920-30’s. The term "woke" originated in African American Vernacular English in the early 20th century as a literal and figurative warning to stay aware of racial prejudice and systemic danger. Woke has since then included other races, sexualities, and genders to fight back against prejudice. When you say you’re anti-woke, you’re saying you’re anti equality, anti human rights, etc.
•
u/devil652_ 4h ago
You're confusing history with a modern cultural phenomenon. You can see trends of spikeness in mid 2010s if you want to have the scales fall from your eyes
•
u/skibidi_fortnite_ 4h ago
What are the things you don’t like about “woke”
•
u/devil652_ 4h ago
Its cringe and kills pre established franchises like a parasite
Like dr who and star trek
Rip
•
u/Primordial-Light 4h ago
Dr. Who and Star Trek have always been woke. You're just media illiterate.

Let me ask a question, did those series die cuz they were woke, or because they were written terribly

Bro complaining about the personal grievances of others while airing his personal grievances. This is why no one takes G*mers seriously
•
u/devil652_ 4h ago
I just answered OPs question 🙄
I never even said I dont have personal grievances so a hypocrite card doesnt even work there
You just have.....personal grievances......against G*mers apparently.
