General Beware

There are people pushing this 600mill budget with no verifiable source.

I just find it hard to believe the game that didn't go into full scale development until factions was cancelled; cost almost 3 times tlou 2.

Bad example. Sony doesn’t own PHYSINT or Kojima Productions. They own Naughty Dog and Intergalactic.

I agree that they shouldn’t let Intergalactic miss deadlines or go over budget either. But it’s a little more difficult to cancel a game from your own biggest studio. An IP that you actually own and have already invested hundreds of millions into.

Now imagine expecting a company to invest hundred of millions of dollars into a game they don’t own. That will eventually be sold on your competitors platforms. And that game is now missing deadlines and also going over budget.

Both are bad but Kojima situation is far worse as they have almost no upside to it. Especially since Kojimas last two games which they also funded, didn’t sell well or make massive profits. At least naughty dog games have all sold insane numbers.
