[BREAKING NEWS] Bungie has canceled all paid marketing for Marathon

[BREAKING NEWS] Bungie has canceled all paid marketing for Marathon

Sony is cooked.

I think you mean Bungie.

Sony owns Bungie so it's their money.

both of them suffering right now is well deserved. fuck them for ruining the industry

They're gonna try to shift back to Destiny

Concord

Marathon

FAIRGAME$

What the fuck was Sony thinking?

Why pay when they can just steal it

More like Bungle

honestly they should just make the game fun and just shadow drop it when its ready

They both are, kek
3 billion BURNED, BABY

Oh and btw pic related is Bungies other game currently in development called 'Gummy Bears'

You described EA, not Microsoft.

Really wish suits would stop looking at Fortnite and being like "wow, we need some of that market" and instead be like "Fortnite has that market covered, let's create the next new market"

Concord 3.0

Two things can be true at the same time, anon

Next move for Sony. Are they going to cut Bungie from their company or are they going to just absorb and dissolve?

Concord

Marathon

Fairgame$

Gummy Bears

Gummy Bears is strike four!

OH NOOOO NO NO NO
AAHAHAHAHAHAH

I actually forgot about Fairgame$ kek. Didnt Jade leave that shipwreck aswell?

chuds: 2

snoy: 0

Yeah thats not making it to release.

Surprised all this shit wasn't just quietly cancelled like Hyenas. Nobody needed Concord to tell you this was all going to flop, we had Bleeding Edge and Battleborn and a dozen others beforehand. Nobody is going to play your GaaS slop with amputee hijabi asexual poly art direction.

ruining the industry

Microsoft did that with the 360

Bungie failing means sony can completely take over, that was part of the agreement

It's going to bomb hard like Concord, isn't it?

How many Sony live services have flopped now?

Based, fuck Snoy

Another decisive Chvd victory

Every time I feel bad about being scamed (happens a LOT), I just think of Sony to make me feel better with myself.

do you prefer concordlikes or concordlites?

Total Bungie death

At least it's got an aesthetic

Funny, I don't remember EA putting out horse armor DLC on their pay to play peer to peer fucking X-Box Live horse shit.

Don't get me wrong, EA is just as bad of a piece of scum sucking shit, but MS is the one who got the ball rolling. They enshittified all of gaming, permanently, and the damage they have done can never be undone.

chvdbvlls winning big, i can hear the shekels hand shaking and seething

You don’t blame someone for beating someone else to the punch. Sony didn’t have to have paid online and neither did Nintendo but at least Nintendo made it several times cheaper.

Yep. Wish I could've been a fly on the wall for that.

oooooh sculpture tool from Blender, save me!!!! I need to make everything as fast as possible fuck it!!!

Latino and Hispanic don't overlap? Huh, I guess Brazil don't consider themselves Hispanic?

Based bungie. Latinx is literally the correct term

we want corporate memphis for the cyberpunk tranny audience

Honestly just cancel the game at this point
Nobody is even interested in this shitty extraction shooter even before the whole stolen art shit happened

Latina/e/i/o/u and sometimes y.

They didnt plan on Trump winning the election.

Add in Take Two/Rockstar as well. GTA is delayed to alter the storyline

two months later

NEW KICKSTARTER MADE BY FORMER INDUSTRY VETERANS

INDUSTRY VETERAN REACTS

JOHN MADDEN

3.3 billion to take over a failing company

what kinda plan was this?

Who the FUCK wants to play as a tranny with a microwave on xer head?

Haha,
its probably because they literally used stolen art in their trailers for PAID early access, they probably will just settle out of court for next to nothing, but they copyright is per incidence, so they HAVE to take down marketing materials and it's likely ringing alarm bells at sony HQ.

Here is what is going to happen,
they will slowly start pulling people off marathon/laying them off, they don't want to cancel the game right now, PR blow would fuck up their stock. Layoffs are finally starting to negatively effect stock instead of positively (this is a very recent development). 2 years from now marathon will be quietly canceled

Sony are the only ones sir far who haven’t confirmed $80 games but they still get shat on the most. Also gamepass fags basically rely on Sony customers to basically find the devs for them so they can play the games basically for free on gamepass.

I’m such a retard for wasting money on a PS5. The last first party game I played on mine was Returnal, which is on fucking PC now. It’s been a massive dust collector since then. Guess I’m going PC+Switch 2 from here on out. Rest in piss PlayStation, you actually used to have games.

Fund* the devs

Hopefully we can watch it fail in real time like Concord instead of just being boringly cancelled like Hyenas.
I get excited when bad games fail. There are enough video games already. It's more fun watching shitty games I wasn't going to play anyway fail.

Why would you not play GOTY Astrobot?

That's honestly aggressively ugly.
That's the ocular analogue to having someone fucking stab you in the stomach seven times.

That is the antithesis to fifty thousand years of human artistry.
A caveman would look up from his cavern scribbles, see that, and quietly walk into the jaws of a sabretooth. It's an insult to creativity.

It's the murder-suicide of aesthetic.

To obtain exclusive rights to IP you dumb child.

We need an always online game where we can sell people crap and earn money every quarter. What chu got senpai?

Destiny 3

Nah, not gay enough. We need to represent the trans and niggers of the world.

Marathon?

Perfect.

Honestly, I was looking forward to Destiny, I feel like that series could have hit a stride if it got open world features and a good story just right.

They could have given me all that money they wasted buying out bungie and i would have made a better game with money to spare.

Correct, and Spaniards aren't Latino.

good thing i left consoles during covid

Sony are the only ones sir far who haven’t confirmed $80 games

That's because they have been already doing it? I swear I've some first party PS5 games at $80 on PSN

Don't worry, it's all stolen art so they have to remake it anyway

They speak Portuguese why would they?
Latino is a dumb term, it would be funny if it started to include Quebecois.

The same thing every other out of touch corpo jew thinks. “All we need is one fortnite level hit and we’re set for the next decade or two.” Expect them to put out even more live service slop. They won’t stop until it kills their company.

The La-tin-a-lu-le-lo!?
How's that possible!?

didn't port bloodborne back when everyone wanted it

lost the hype to an emulator

every sequel has been underperforming

every live service slop failed

Finally, justice

I think ps5 games should cost more

uh, yeah.
ps had games during ps2.
If you bought one after ps3 you didn't learn shit.
I bought a used ps3 a decade ago and ran mgs4 and gt5, ico, and shadow of the colossus, for 70 bucks.
Since then i don't have it anymore and emulated ps3 games since then. Ps4 is close to starting their emulation phase.
ps4 had what first party games besides bloodborne, and ps5 had what first party games besides demon souls remake?

Well, it's a marathon, not a sprint

It's for the best.

On youtube if you must, dont fund the next open world slop.

A game with wacky costumes where you drop onto the map with umbrellas might be exactly the game everyone has been waiting for.

I might still play that at some point. Waiting for a sale.

You don’t blame someone for beating someone else to the punch

Of course you do, you retard. Because they fucking started it, and spent untold billions to normalize this shit.

That’s not why they bought them retard. They bought them for infrastructure and knowledge on GAAS. Like how Elon Musk bought Twitter and people think there dunking on him because it’s not “worth as much anymore”. The knowledge is power. He can now feed his AI tools pure twitter metric data. Some of you guys just have no idea past the surface level.

nta but isn't astroboy just bingbingwahoo galaxy and some odyssey? sony flavored

WE'RE NO STRANGERS TO JEWS
WHEN THEY MAKE GAMES
THEY ALWAYS LOSE
A WHITE DESIGNER'S WHAT I'M THINKING OF
HE'LL MAKE A GAME THAT PEOPLE WILL LOVE

How the FUCK does Pete Parsons still have a fucking job at Bungie at this point

Execs at these gaming companies have such a poor understanding of the market and the industry it's crazy. How do they even get in these positions, how come random internet chuds are better at reading the market and predicting trends than graduates graduates from prestigious colleges and decades of experience running businesses?

Concord died on arrival

Everyone hates Marathon because Bungie is a studio full of actual thieves

Beta testers say Fairgame$ plays like shit

Because its always someone elses fault, thats how you rise in these companies

Sony wasted 3b on Bungie

just make the game fun

If they knew how to do that, they would have done it already.

PFFFFTAHAHAHAH

I'm being honest with you here:
I want another Concord

Also gamepass fags basically rely on Sony customers to basically find the devs for them so they can play the games basically for free on gamepass.

snoys will pay the tax that funds the xbros' welfare and they will happily gloat about it every single time
fucking retards lol

They wanted this own zillion dollar Fork-Knife and they’ll crash the entire industry with no survivors if they can get just 1 win. Jim Ryan and Hermen Hulst are both niggers and should be lynched for this.

Swear I read somewhere Sony took direct control over Bungie, so Pete's CEO title means basically nothing.

What are they teaching to kids in art schools nowadays?

It's Xbox fault that Sony is shit!

Nice logic.

Culture moves faster than education. People interacting with culture every day will know more about trends and culture than some retard with a silver spoon shoved up his ass sitting in his mansion playing jolly jerkoff with the rest of his rich retard friends.

Sony gaystayshun will die in your lifetime

Feels good.

Next move

The reason you buy consoles is because you prefer the console experience to PC. In your case, you like whatever the fuck features PlayStation offers ,their UI/UX, the controller, etc. Same with Xbox. You buy it because of the features, controller, UI/UX, etc. Everyone is getting everyone's games and Sony will be no exception next generation (where they try and successful infiltrate the Xbox ecosystem with their first party offerings and make more money than they did before).

If "now I don't have a use for my PS5 because there are no 'exclusives' " is enough to move you from the console, yes. You made a mistake not just getting a PC. Especially when you could see where the wind was blowing for years.

sweet i hope they listened to my feedback and make a proper next-gen extraction shooter with faction wars and ARGs that interact with the game world

All you had to do was make a single player marathon.

So from what I understand Sony is investing in "live service games", something that I honestly don't even know exactly what it is. Why are they investing so much in something when apparently the market is already somewhat saturated? Are they using that venture capitalism idea where guys put money into thousands of shitty companies in the hope that one of them will work out and make a colossal return on their investment?

We should get Sony to raise the cost of ps plus to show are support

Is the chvd movement the most feared in gaming right now? We really seem to be unstoppable. Not one wokeslop game from the last few years has survived his wrath. Even the mighty Assassins Creed series was toppled.

not justice until bankruptcy.
in situations like this, the big exes just give themselves millions more in bonuses for doing such a good job and then retire gracefully.
Isn't bungies ceo doing that as we speak?

Unironically also correct. Everyone copies what others do. Add in the switchover to being an American company rather than a Japanese one, and you get the current shithole that is Sony.

Also this. Sony hasn't have exclusives since the PS3 and it's been on a downward trend. If you're still planning on buying a PS6 because you want to see what exclusives it'll have, you deserve the disappointment that will come to you.

The character designs for this shit are so fuck bad. God I hate Americans (I’m American)

Sony have only themselves to blame, same way Xbox seized defeat out of the jaws of victory in the age of the X360.

Sony hasn't had a good amount of exclusives since the PS3

Fixed that. Sorry.

Bungie
More like..... Blundie

ammo is lost when reloading

WHY???

You know what's actually funny? Concord will actually leave more of a "positive" impact than Marathon or Fairgame$ just for Bazz's design alone, shit was so fucking ugly it somehow became good

Gran Turismo

Bungie doesn't own any IPs that are worth 3,3 billion

she

At least Concord released. Feels like the others won't even get that far.

my friend bought a ps5 and psvr2 to play gran tourismo. He probably played less than 10 hours and I think he's moved on to iracing and left playstation to rot.

YOU JUST MAD CUZ YO AZZ IS OLD

We all do, brah. Concord posting was glorious. It really brought the board together, which is rare.

Bungie failing means sony can completely take over, that was part of the agreement

So Sony paid $3 billion dollars for Bungie and they don't even call the shots? Holy fuck, is there a more cucked company on earth?

3 months from supposed launch

alpha 0.5.0.0

what the fuck are they doing

sony buys bungie and bungie will be dead before 2026

concord dead on arrival

marathon dead before arrival with likely lawsuit

helldivers 2 so big it almost became a cultural phenomenon before Sony pissed everyone off forcing PSN login killing off most of the hype along with its playerbase

You have to literally try to fuck up this badly, a documentary will be made when the dust settles. How deep in the hole is Sony just from these blunders? 20bil? 30bil?

Concord got shitcanned before Trump was even re-elected though
The real answer is Sony was too busy making movie games back when a lot of the biggest GaaS shit came out and took the market, and now they're desperate to get a slice of that pie even though the ship has long since passed.

b-b-but Xbox

Retarded console nigger

GT7 is just a better GT Sport. What did he expect? it's a 9/10 game unironically. If you want to shit on GT just because of console warring, you're a legit retard

half a billion dollar bonfires are rare.
but so very, very warm.

That's just all games these days

Don't forget that Helldivers 2 was so popular trannies actually tried to make people look bad for playing it, what a sad but also funny world we live in

Why did they cancel it?

they just wanted to waste all the money FGO made

pay 3 billion bucks

own literally nothing

Uuuuh? Who signed this deal?

Reminder that this was their response to MS acquiring Bethesda, not even Todd fucked up this hard.

idk

work at bungie

be lazy and don't wanna work

need to add art to the game

go on x and find a random nobody artist profile

use their art without permission thinking its a nobody so how could they possibly find out?

they find out

gt is good for the most part, another friend was talking about how he couldn't play it on his ps4 because his internet was down for a week and how they patched the method he was using to race for credits because he could actually buy shit in the game.

that's pretty trash bro.

just make games lol

Starfield isn't far off

Current Bungie is currently completely staffed with trannies and woke retards, they deserve to go under for butchering Destiny

Phil Spencer wins by doing absolutely nothing

What a time we live in

Concord - they unironically thought it was gonna be a Star Wars level hit. Every higher up convinced themselves this game was gonna be a hit and didn't want to hear anyone not willing to believe.
Marathon - Sony believe in Bungie, they spent billions of dollars on them. They had no clue just how incompetent they were
Fairgame$ - every criticism of Jade Raymond is basically removed or ignored off the net so she has a perfect record so obviously she's a genius you can trust millions into

You get gift cars like every 5 minutes. Tell your "friend" to just play the game.

They thought Bungie was gold because of their "expertise" on live service games. If Marathon fails to launch then it also means all the execs who were rushing to push this game will get fired and lose their acquisition bonus that was tied to the game.

A certain Irishman.

half a billion dollar bonfires are rare.

they lost 2 billion

his internet was down for a week because the isp made a fucky wucky.
He couldn't even fucking play it you doublenigger.

Nonstop infinite chud reclamation, total sony death, total bungie death, we will plant trees in their ashes and our children will pick the fruit.

all the execs who were rushing to push this game will get fired and lose their acquisition bonus that was tied to the game.

If only

I don't know what happened in the last 15 years but companies really tried HARD to earn our hatred.

What the fuck was Sony thinking?

They weren't.

Grim

Literally just one retarded executive who was too late to catch the live service hype and is now left them all holding the bag

iirc concord was around 500 mill

Starfield still sold millions, Bungie is bleeding money while Marathon, their single new game after acquisition might be cancelled st this point.

their expertise with live service games

Hasn't Destiny been one of the most shit on gsmes in the industry for how much content they've removed from it

The fact that Sony paid almost as much as Disney did for the whole Star Wars IP for Bungie makes me feel sick.

more cars for pete

Sounds like a (you) issue. Why even reply?

They hated us first, we only hate them back in return.

If they re-released it it would unironically have more players and make people look back on it fondly compared to these shitheaps.

it was 3.6 billion not 3.3

required always on internet connection to play a fucking single player game isn't a (you) issue faggot.

Fairgame$ - every criticism of Jade Raymond is basically removed or ignored off the net so she has a perfect record so obviously she's a genius you can trust millions into

The funniest thing is that she already left the sinking ship kek

Execs will get fired

HAHAHAHAHAH

Sony has been pants on head retarded since they moved Playstation to California in 2016.

You do the same thing on Steam retard.

That's what he said

what is delaying going to do? it will still be a boring hero shooter slop and it will be even worse later because everyone will be playing arc raider or 1.0 tarkov. just cancel this piece of crap.

Just screams "we want the zoomer/alpha demographic"

Game was fine until that tranny single handedly destroyed bungie and their game. How can they be so powerful?

Yeah, it's shit. I agree. But it was known before hand. If you still buy the game, it's your fault

Who should we hire?

Guy who loves videogames but he's white and slightly right-wing

or

"Woman" who absolutely fucking hates videogames and doesn't know shit about how to make them?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO FIRE 200 WORKERS???

"expertise" on live service games

Reminder that they had to literally vault whole chapters of their game because Bungie cannot code to save their lives and they couldn't get it running in conjunction with stuff they were releasing. Another reminder that they're being sued by a sci-fi author over claims of plagiarism and they can't defend themselves because they can't get those story chapters to run to show in a court of law and are most likely going to lose, all because of how incompetent they are as devs.

and knowledge on GAAS

They made ONE game with a post-release DLC/expansion plan, and a sequel (that wasn't supposed to happen since the idea was to perpetually build on D1) that the playerbase does nothing but bitch about it despite playing it, and Sony thought that made them the experts on "GaaS".

What a bunch of idiots.

Sony has been pants on head retarded since they moved Playstation to California in 2016.

Then move them back

I know it's not the same company it was but seeing bungie actually die will be so weird, can't remember the last major dev to explode like this. Can't believe BioWare will outlive them

Live service isn't a genre, it's just a method to milk an existing product for longer.

I doubt the game will be delayed. It will launch, just without much marketing spend and rely on organic traffic. If a game can't even sustain itself with a modest inflow of organic traffic, marketing is a waste of resources and better to put that marketing money into making the game have better retention.

Reminder that they had to literally vault* whole chapters of their game

*TL Note: to vault means removing from the game completely

Can't believe BioWare will outlive them

Hopefully not by much

Not literally, but they've got Japanese men back in charge now.

doesn't excuse the fact that they're still doing it AND much worse

they are literally getting sued for stolen assets and this means

all work on the game is paused

a third party is hired to comb over the game to make sure other assets aren't stolen

the game is nearly finished with a 3bil pricetag tied to it, even if it flops they are two years beyond the point of no return.

How deep in the hole is Sony just from these blunders? 20bil? 30bil?

29 billion debt. Nintendo got zero debt, 14 billion cash.

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Not necessarily. Starfield sold VERY well and they are still making money from Creations. It's not Skyrim or Fallout 3 levels of big, but it's doing the job in bringing in steady revenue and being a legitimately commercial success when it came out in 2023 and even with what it makes now.

This is the more succinct and concise way to say it.

I said move them back.
Hopefully before the PS6 gen

paid

as opposed to what? shills that do it for free?

There's Gravity Rush, Bloodborne, Gran Turismo, and... yeah, that's it. I can't think of anything else worth buying a Playstation for. What a downfall.

Can't believe BioWare will outlive them

Bioware is literally just a name.
They already died like 5 times.

BioWare will outlive them

Barely... There's like 18 people on BioWare's payeroll.

I mean yeah so is bungie, what's your point? I even said they weren't the same in my post. The actual "brand" dying is still noteworthy

not even Todd fucked up this hard.

Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6 will still be massive cultural events no matter how bland Starfield was. All MS needs to do is be patient.

It’s an infinite money glitch if you get it right. Square Enix for example can release flop after flop because they got ff14 money coming in. It is just greed though really Sony already basically have game of the service but it’s not a game it’s the 30% psn store tax on every purchase.

When I watched Love, Death and Robots yesterday I realized that the so-called creatives of the nu entertainment media of the last decade's idea of something unique and original is to just throw random bullshit together. They will tick all their boxes first

down with system

real world diversity representation no matter the setting

reddit safe design all the way

but beyond that they have no idea what to actually do with the creative freedom at their disposable, because the actual medium and content was always an afterthought for them going in. Just a general creative mindset equivalent of someone hitting random in character creation a few times, because they can't come up with fiction that actually means something for its own sake and not just because those watching agree with the three real world political and moral views they keep repeating.

entire bottom row likely shitcanned

Jesus Christ Sony

chuds are like steam

do nothing

win

reminds me of neets and its impact on the economy and birthrates...

that settles it. im not giving sony another dollar.
Xfags. i repent.

why do white people always feel the need to thrust themselves in other cultures shit

All those programs weren't to attack gamers but to take over the business and dev studios. Now they're more vulnerable to be gutted and bought out by the third world.

why pay someone when Anon Babble will do it for free ?

You’re a minority. Normies buy PlayStation and buy FIFA, Cod and 2K every year. They buy micro transactions and skins. Sony get 30% of every sale on these.

If they weren’t absolute morons at Microsoft they could have made a comeback since Sony is basically constantly fucking up and releasing no games. But they’re so fucking incompetent that even then they don’t do shit.

Then just buy a prebuilt PC, retard.

The deprofessionalization of video games has to stop! Chuds have gone too far!

Horizon is the most astro turfed game series ever

Sony has a higher tax rate than the government

I'm white and I'm not like that

Jesus

its communists

Unfortunately they lost the most important generation ever. There is no reset every generation anymore. Even if Sony do bad it will be really hard to make people switch because all there cosmetics, skins and games carry over to generations now.

their "expertise" on live service games

The same expertise that told them to burn $400 million on Concord? This goes beyond incompetence, Bumgie is maliciously trying to fuck over Snoy.

Sony should have never bought them, stupid ppl at the top making stupid decisions. Bungie is a damn corpse since 2007 after H3 hit. They would NEVER make another hit, ever.

I thought you fought aliens in Marathon?
Why did they make it look so retarded?

Oof

consoles are done outside nintendo, completely obsolete now, the casuals use phones, the hardore use PCs, there is no space for consoles left
There is zero use for them
And nintendo is just lucky they own pokemon and animal crossing or they would go under in a decade too

people cant hate pete now but dude is the reason why halo 2 was made. he crunched the fuck out of the team

they're selling it on the name.
game has nothing to do with old marathon.

like how bethesda hostile tookover human head and killed their prey2 game, and then hired arkane to make the shitty prey2 game except named it prey.

Games take a while to make and a trend dies before it came out. Same things gonna happen to a lot of game including Duskblood which is also probably a extraction game.

In the end, it's graphics

These characters are almost as bad Concord's.

I get your point but there's an Until Dawn movie literally in cinemas right now.

if they are smart. they won't bring it back

will making Marathon f2p somewhat save the company?

bitch is wearing my mum´s washing gloves

it also means all the execs who were rushing to push this game will get fired and lose their acquisition bonus

they wont
and even if they did, they would just get hired at another company immediately

Horizon as a franchise could vanish tomorrow and it would take years for someone to notice it was gone.

Helldivers is the most successful one in the last two years even getting a movie for it announced

Not popular at all on PS5

As soon as Sony tried to put more things in the game such as PSN, it instantly tanked in community outrage

Forced Sony to simply have a full on hands off approach

Arrowhead doesn't want to work with Sony for any future projects

Don't want to argue if its a good/bad game but facts are facts

Oh shit I forgot about that

Alive and Forgotten

The character design is too ugly for me to play that game

Glitch is at least looks good in the cinematic, but in-game it looks like a lifeless plastic toy. All any Bungie dev ever did was bitch about the Tiger engine, and they're still using the fucking Tiger engine for a new game. I don't get it.

Ah, ok. I was mildly interested in seeing Marathon until I watched the trailer.
I was wondering where the aliens were.
I totally missed the boat on extraction shooters. Kind of glad.

That seems like the smart move but I doubt they will have the humility to do it and would rather just cut and run letting Bungie get shuttered.

They're not White, they're Jewish.

Name 3 successful live service game with truly ugly characters or ugly art design.

New = risky. If you try a new thing and fail, you are seen as a failure. If you blindly follow the hot new trend and fail, you got your ass covered: "I did the safe sensible thing, so it was not my fault that it didn't pan out, gold parachute plz kthx."

Bungie will die within your lifetime

Let's go!

They know they are at the top and they kinda feel bad for the pets. So, they pamper them a little while and throw some candies here and there (without overcommitting yourself, obviously, or the smell might stick. If you do it from behind a keyboard, even better).

Name 3

I can't name 1

WoW
Counter-Strike
ARK

How deep in the hole is Sony just from these blunders? 20bil? 30bil?

lol wtf are you talking about, you think these games cost several billion dollars each to make?

They went to Harvard or <insert prestigious university here all paid by their parents of course, company sees <prestigious university> on resume and is like "WOW THIS GUY IS SMART HIRE HIM AND MAKE HIM LEAD THIS STUIDO"
And then you get what we see now

they killed playstion

lucky

It's not luck, it's skill. Unlike most companies Nintendo valued their devs and they stay forever. It makes a huge difference in the long run.

I've said this before, but Marathon 4 should've been a first-person-shooter Metroidvania. Basically a Metroid Prime clone. Navigate around, solve some puzzles, interact with terminals for lore. That's what the original Marathon games were already! Could've been Sony's answer to Metroid Prime 4.

College is such a fucking scam if you're not in a highly specialized technical field of some kind

Maybe this was Bungie's plan all along, destroy Playstation from the inside out and then get reacquired by Microsoft to save the Xbox with Destiny 3 and a real Halo 4. I know what's left of Bungie is beyond salvaging and couldn't make a decent game to save their lives.

WoW

Casuals refused to play Horde until they added Blood Elves. Only sweatlords chose orcs because of their stun resist in PvP.

Honestly mad no shooters like this exist really, building an arsenal of weapons, tools and keys was basically what shooters were founded on but now its either full pvp with no campaign or shlooter slop

I love jim ryan so much, it's unreal

I think orcs are cool because I played wc3

How do they manage to spend so much developing a video game? $1000 has carried me so far in developing my little indie game. I get that this project is MUCH bigger, but like... they're spending hundreds of millions, possible half a billion dollars on this shit? What on earth costs that much money?

I'm talking from the perspective of human beings.

Looks millennial as fuck to me.

We've won.

Not art assets, that's for sure

Reason is Sony is headquareted in California and they think California politics is global politics. Worse, its not just california politcs, just liberal san francisco city politics

What on earth costs that much money?

It's quite literally just the diversity hires not knowing how to use their budget

LOL

lining up their pockets

Gummy Bears is Concord 4, Fairgame$ is Concord 3, chud.

It's absolutely DOA.

I sure wonder who made that account

Utter insanity, didn't they spend like over a billion on Bungie?
Just how much money did Sony burn on live service so far?

Management salaries, Pete Parsons has quite the car collection. Any fat bitch that works at Bungie that doesn't give him sloppy toppy in one of these bad boys gets the boot!

Even he didn't follow it though kek

The reason for this is because Nintendo was the only one to embrace that consoles are children's toys first and foremost. The only thing hardcore about the PlayStation and Xbox is how depressing it is knowing you have people who have made these brands their identity and defend their honor with their lives (which you see in Nintendo do...especially after the Switch 2 reveal and aftermath). If you have the ability to do more than save up for an allowance, you can save up for a PC and use that for games, but also for a myriad of actually useful things too. Consoles don't have a place anymore other than to be "surefire" gifts for children and teenagers from parents. And like you said, if their kids are generally casual, they're on their phones playing there anyway.

popularizing AAA dog shit FPS and bro shit?

I'll take that over The LGBT of Us and God of Soi

But all of these games look like shit

saved

Setting up a company in some ultra expensive shithole like california or washington, while also having to pay a wage for thousands of DEI hires like 30 HR women that do 4 hours of work per week is incredibly expensive.

ever since they elected their spiritual leader, they have become unstoppable

Enough is Enough

has any studio bought by microsoft or sony made a good game after being purchased?

They think that if they are just nice enough to the lower races they will start performing up to white standards. They think it's somehow their fault that the brown countries of the world are shitholes.

>GAAS was the big thing.

"Was" being the operative word here. Overwatch came out almost ten fucking years ago. Why are companies still chasing that dollar when the well is clearly dry? It's like someone making a CoD clone in 2025. Like are they fucking actual retards??

Their campus (yes, they're so stupidly big they have a campus) is located in Bellevue WA- which is not a cheap place to be in the slightest. They're employing an entire army of buffoons, and the C-suite are among the biggest retards in the giant stinking pile.
It is a bonfire, fuelled by money.

They spent $3.6 Billion on Bungie, for some retarded reason. Which is more than what Microsoft paid for Mojang ($2.5 Billion) and almost as much as what Disney paid for Star Wars ($4 Billion).

He should be putting the gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger as fast as he can.

I think the biggest problem is wages. When you make your own game your cost is things like the electricity bill, your food, these things. Now imagine you make your own game but every week you have to pay, I don't know, $2500 to yourself, otherwise you'd lose the ability to keep working and your game would grind to a halt...

Ah yes, bubblegum tranny. My favorite aesthetic.

1000 employees all getting paid 150k+ per year

You call that an aesthetic?

we did it guys. we made concord 2 happen

Most Sony studios like Sucker Punch and Naughty Dog were purchased early enough to still put out some good games, Naughty Dog itself has been a Sony studio since 2001

All the AI power in the world couldn't bring the sparkle back into his eyes

What the fuck, how can they afford to burn money like this, this can't be sustainable

MBAs don't have a fucking clue about anything video games. Most marketing and business suites are completely lost when it comes to it. They just know it makes more money than both the music and film industry combined, yet they can't even do any due diligence.

Even finance bros, who are known for writing essays before investing money into stocks, didn't know anything about Gamestops business model. That's why they shorted the stock beyond what was legal RIGHT BEFORE THE PS5 RELEASED. Which backfired tremendously.

Video games are owned and managed by people who hate video games. It's the worst fucking circumstances.

Great men

This is somehow just going to be Fortnite x Splatoon, isn't it?

Jim Ryan did it and then dipped lol.

"We know Activision extremely well. They are probably one of our principal partners. In terms of deployment of Sony's capital, when you look at $69 Billion dollars for Activision compared to $3.6 Billion dollars for Bungie, we believe that Bungie can give us way more than a $69 Billion acquisition of Activision. And that's before considering the relative value of that particular transaction."

they were being paid to do it

leave marathon alone!

How do we save Sony

Are live service games finally failing?

It's an LGBT MOBA with leftist comedy and fishing.

Our first game is a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games. Players will inhabit a lighthearted, comedic world set in brand-new, mythic, science-fantasy universe. We can’t wait to reveal more.

Companies of this size with games this big are far too slow to trend chase like tbis. Their projects take 3-5 years minimum to release, so by the time their attempts to cash in actually hit the market the trend has long since passed and there's something new to distract people. Indie games are the only ones with enough flexibility to feasibly trend chase.

And it's meh

we'll see next week when nightreign comes out

That's the good part, we don't

Why are shills like this

Unfortunately we have decided to go with another candidate with more relevant experience

i.e. people who lie and steal others work. Its not just the one guy he just got caught

also we gave away our own good series to imcompetent retards so we could pursue gaas bullshit

They dug their own grave. Lay in it

fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games

?????????????????

WoW

Female characters in WoW were far from ugly. They weren't super sexy anime dolls sure but they still looked decent, not repulsive, and ERP was common.

Counter-Strike

They make for the lack of hot chicks by by being cool. Both the terrorists and counter-terrorists were cool guys. Franchises can make up for a lack of hotness through coolness. You either make your characters sexy or cool.

ARK

An open world survival crafting game with dinosaurs would also be pretty cool to normies, solving the issue of lacking hotness. It also has normie-attracting (sometimes called "realistic") graphics.

i still can't believe it got a lego game and a genshin impact character

Kotaku writers aren't very self-aware

If they invest in my brilliant time machines, they can save themselves; All I'm asking for is a mere hundred million.

Fallout 4 was ass

Fallout 76 was turbo ass

Starfield was ultra ass

Surely their next game will be great.

o7

lol, I can understand someone not being able to control themselves in public and letting it be known how offended they were by a criticism, but how can this happen on the Internet? Doesn't the guy think before he presses Enter that he's acting on impulse and making it clear that the criticism has hit a nerve?

I have no idea, that's what they wrote and that's what I got out of it. Bungie has a lot of quirky gay millennials these days, it was probably hilarious to whatever troon wrote it.

FUCK BUNGIE

It's quite amusing they unironically think it's all because bigoted chud tubers are running hate propaganda against them

Does the show really count as a franchise? isn't that like baseball fifa?

too big to fall corpo losing money

When will the goy ever learn that is has always been your money, and will always be your money that these retarded adventures are financed by

I can name at least one: The Finals.

Everyone hates the human models so much that most people I know spring for the first helmet unlock they can get, or buy some form of helmet/mask from the storefront. Soon there'll be fucking furries everywhere too due to the current event + tails being added to the store.

frog-type games

Not buying it.

It's really fucking weird tl me how hard Sony had tried to make Horizon a thing. Literally no one gives a shit. Imagine Nintendo trying to force like five Codename STEAM games.

Ex Ubisoft devs make Expedition 33

Ex Bungie devs make Concord

Tells Naughty Dog that TLoU MP is bad

Gets cancelled

Makes D2 PVP

Makes Marathon

I don't get it either

Sony literally forced Genshin to add Aloy into the game or they wouldn't let them come to Playstation, so Genshin made her a joke character and the worst character in the game.

They should unironically do an experiment where they give a bunch of chuds here on Anon Babble enough budget to make a AA level game and see what happens, it might end up being a masterpiece or abysmal dogshit but it would be funny

I meant that Sony can eat the total $3.6b cost of buying Bungie if they need to, but Bungie can't afford failure because all they've done is fuck things up since Sony got them.

It would be gay frogs, anyway. They already spergged out when some troon said that this was kekistan armor.

Sony deserves this for not bringing GT7 to PC, fuck them I hope they collapse

Yeah I agree with this, I miss pre game lobbies where trash talk was the norm, not a faggot game about "vengeance bad" with lesbians and faggots

No, just the new ones can't compete

Porting Bloodborne and LittleBigPlanet 1-2 to PC would be a good start.

basically

basically

basically

What the fuck are you doing? Proof read what you write for even 5 seconds to filter out shit like this.

It died when it became American, years ago. Resurrection is beyond the means of man, so just move on.

Just remembered they're still working on Intergalactic

I sometimes wonder if Sony has just been trying to tell us they don't want to be in the video game business anymore. They have no choice since PlayStation is all Sony really has going for them, but they are telling us they're tired.

ND probably don't have what it takes to support a GAAS for a decade. But still, the decisions made are an obvious blunder.

Kill yourself revisionist

I will simply kill every other anon on the project and hire a squadron of Argentinians to help me create a new SD Gundam G Gen title.

last of us is gayer and more shit than anything anyone here is talking about. return to reddit fag

That's the thing, they don't have to be great, they just have to be playable and not a total dumpster fire. Just play "war_never_changes.mp3" and throw a mockup of the Fallout 5 logo on stage and everyone will forgive Bethesda.

I think Sony can bounce back, but they need to get their head out of their ass and go back, at the bare minimum, their pre-2018 ways. Preferably we'd go back to their PS1/PS2 era ambition and willingness to experiment, but at this point let's just aim for the bare minimum. One step at a time.

To be fair, people on PCs are too used to downloading cars, tracks and even gameplay modes from the Internet for free in their racing simulators.
Sony wants to keep GT in absolute control, which is why you can't even play the offline mode without being connected to the Internet. They don't want any players doing things that might escape their telemetry.

That's MS, retard.

There are so many of these things that we're actually starting to lose count.

lol
lmao

And it's flopping horribly and has nothing to do with the game. So yeah, dead and forgotten.

Our first game is a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games

CONCORD 2.0

If you take the Bungie purchase price, it's probably only around $4.5b all in for all of Sony's live service fuckups, with Bungie's purchase accounting for $3.6b of that. The other games, FairGame$s and Concord are $2b' worth of waste at worst.

And in terms of business fuckups, even if Sony wasted $20b on this shit, it's not coming near major corporate blunders like AOL-Time Warner.

jews have been trying to run sony into the ground for decades
and for some reason sony decided to give full control of playstation to them

It's crazy how an IP can carry you though, halo infinite has outlived every single thing sony throws at it. Sony could've just made a new killzone and it'd have made more money than LGBTcord. Fuck I still can't believe they listened to bungie of all people and decided to cancel The Trans of US factions. At this point, maybe Nintendo will add multi-player to Metroid 5 and it'll be more popular than fucking anything sony makes lmao

Latine? More like latrine.

Looks like it made a profit, which is all that matters.

halo infinite has outlived every single thing

I wouldn't call that living but I get what you mean

Totally. Two more weeks.

Can guarantee they have gone through everything and found more plagiarizing. Thus HAD to cancel and rework it

Don't forget the cancelled live service projects that weren't even announced.

sure that happens in some games but a few are locked down and still pretty popular, ACC LMU, EA WRC, FH. Especially with how disastrous FM was/is they would have made a shit ton bringing GT7 to PC

lol

The bottom row should really be 'Submerging IP' at this point.

Also just the diversity hires themselves, where in the past you had 5 nerdy white/asian dudes you now have multiple times that in different colors and sexualities who do the same work slower over a longer time, and just in case those weren't enough useless extras, they of course come with diversity councils and commissioners.

entire topic is astroturfed by a few terminally onlines that hate Bungo

I don’t know who’s stupider. At the very least, any company that uses pronouns on their livestreams should be thrown coconuts at.

you guys are so fucking petty lmao

I love you anon

everyone saw the obscene amount of money gta online made for basically no effort.

The Horizon multiplayer game will save Sony.

Brand new, next generation game for 2025 everyone...
Seriously what the fuck went so wrong? Did every game developer got fucked by the Switch and just though "fuck it, people like shitty graphics, let's just outsource to India"

I will never get to see Durandal transition into a woman like me

Why even live?

hire themselves

That’s what I thought, but they don’t.
Actually, it’s those same white/asian nerds doing the hiring, but they refuse to filter people.

It’s like,

Hmm, should I hire this man who has come into the interview dressed as a woman? Sure. Oh shit, my Covid booster appointment

Sony's been doing a good job of running themselves into the ground and being shitty for years without the jews. You're right that PlayStation isn't except from Sony stupidity though. It's just the video game industry has basically been Sony running unopposed for now 2 full generations in the "high-end" home console market (and it will be a third when PS6 comes out, so they get to keep hauling the corpse around for 7-8 more years). This is in spite of PlayStation not being any good since the PS3 (really since PS2, but PS3 was still somewhat decent).

Did Cristiano become an actor after realizing he'll never be able to touch a world cup?

Reminder for everyone.
Japan Studio was closed because "their games didn't sell enough". Sony has lost more money on two games than what Japan Studio cost it's whole run.
Ape Escape? Jumping Flash? Vib-Ribbon? Wild Arms? Patapon? Gravity Rush?
Those weren't profitable enough and "nobody cared" as snoys said. And snoys defended closing Japan Studio.
And now you have two biggest entertainment history flops in your hands.
Jim Ryan was right about Live Service changing Playstation.

Give us a reason to not be.

what a-about xbox?

Sony can't "price hike" to the new MSRP if they never put out first-party games, think about that faggot

disgusting vermin shove their degenerate, repulsive trash into the public eye

anons clearly see it for the destructive poison made by life-sucking parasites that should be executed that it is

"you guys are so fucking petty lmao"

It's crazy how retarded and short-sighted Jim Ryan was.

Tupperware

Mjolnerd

Safetyshorts

You're getting laid off soon, faggot.

But they can fix the game by replacing the art, right?

GTAO at least came with a full single player game.

So correct me if I'm wrong but Sony went closing studios left and right, like Japan Studio, to dedicate themselves to live service games. Now, all of these live service games, with the sole exception of Helldivers 2, is failing _miserably_
Amazing.

PS6

Games are STILL barely above PS4 level, what even would a PS6 offer?

If we make 15 live service games then at least ONE of them has to make it

they all failed

They saw how much money games like Fortnite, Genshin and GTA Online etc. print and wanted in on that.

Yet somehow PS5 has sold 80 million units, so he was ultimately right somehow.

RT 60fps.

pvp games

I love cheaters figuring out the game 2 weeks in

Remove any and all decision making the Californian employees have and put it back in the hands of the Japanese.

Sad thing is that I'm sure most (not all) Japan Studio games still made a profit, it's just that Sony wants their games to sell billions or they're considered failures

No it isn't. gacha shits still exists and making billions. gta online still exists and making hand over fist money.

People didn't even like the game before they knew the art was stolen, they couldn't get people to play the free "alpha" that launches in less than 4 months.

PS4 had a few good years in there too, but for the most part it was even shakier than the PS3. I think PS5 might be the first full-on wash of a gen for Sony, like all the other ones at least were awake for a little bit.

Should be hyenas 2,3 and 4.

Well it's not his problem anymore :D
Snoys defended him and his takes as well.

gamergate 3 when? "rise up" out of your wheelchair, deathfat

people who hate gaming and videogames made shit videogames and now they are crashing and burning

Don't have to be petty to find it funny. But anyway, if that's pettiness, then yes I am petty.

They can fix the game by replacing the game with one that isn't troonslop.

The problem with trying to compete with those games is that you have to convince people to move off of those games, which will only become harder as people dump more and more MTX money into them over time.

microsoft buys blizzard/activision

don't tries to block purchase with FTC

block fails

sony spite buys bungie for $3,600,000,000.00

now that the dust is settling how much is Sony panicking that bungie is proving to be an incredibly incompetent dev team?

I still can't believe they just closed Japan Studio. What a slur against art. I hope everything they release is a failure and the market for cinematic over the shoulder open world games with rpg elements magically dries up.

I'm increasingly of the opinion that all the 'Bungie are actually super deep cover MS moles with a mission to kill Sony' conspiracy stuff is accurate.

Being a PlayStation. It has proven that it doesn't even need games to sell. It's mindshare.

The PS1 and the PS2 games, they looked ancient, like why would anyone play this?

Holy fuck lol

7 million less than PS3

37 million less than PS4

80 million less than PS2

Anon...

HAHA BUNGIE IS FUCKED

Damn, Sony is fucked

Wait, n-no..

GEE I WONDER WHo MAKES THESE THREADS

WHICH POOPDICK SCHIZO IS THIS

bought a Vita for Gravity Rush

bought a PS4 for Gravity Rush 2

will not buy a future Sony console because there will be no Gravity Rush 3

Sorry that I want good, content-rich games instead of dripfeed microtransaction slop which may shut down at any moment

Seethe, vermin.

We're only half way through the generation

Lmao, the funniest part is you might be right

The OG 911 would be S-tier if it wasn't that awful green

Ironically if ND had simply made the game and never supported it, it would have been amazing anyways because they have a track record for making good MP titles.

Nearly kills Sony

Sony panic sells them

Microsoft buys them

"We're immediately starting work on Destiny 3 and the real Halo 4."

Joseph Staten joins

Marty O'Donnell Joins

Many old school bungie employees join to work on D3 and the real Halo 4

Pete Parsons fired and raped by the trans staff

All troons fired

Blacked at Bungie, Troons at Bungie, Latinx at Bungie, etc. are shut down immediately

Would be cool

Switch 2

so you go from soi to soier

Credit where it's due, Phil at least respects older games.

That's the funny thing - they didn't. It got downsized to Team Asobi, who made Astro Bot, which is perhaps the sole PS5 game with a shred of soul and relevance. Even when reduced to mere vestiges, Japan Studio is still standing as one of Sony's best and that's telling.

sony is wii tard did.

How is this tactical in anyway? The world they like in sure doesn't look like it's made of Nerf and 1991 so why go with that aesthetic for the characters other than to stand out in this generic realistic world with muted greys, browns and greens? Go full on into the highlighter look and make the world like that. It looks digital as fuck so just make it take place in a digital world and worry about the story later. Make the areas match their colours which at least allows for the ability to blend in and hide if needed. How the fuck is a sniper gonna function in a realistic setting when they're lit up like a Christmas tree? They won't. But make the world reflect their armour and they could.

Sony took direct control over Bungie

Not yet. Bungie maintains independence as long as they meet financial targets or some other obligation.

They could have a competent dev team but absolutely incompetent management.
Iirc a ton of devs kept telling the bungie higher ups how retarded some of their design decisions were and they told them to shut the fuck up.

Snoys will now devolve into insane conspiracies just to not call their cult retarded

Kek that definitely won't be the case for much longer

You might not notice it, but snoys only like how much PS1&PS2 sold, they don't care about PS1/PS2 games. Too much "kiddyshit", and that has only changed recently because of Astrobot. But whenever snoys talk about PS1 or PS2 it's always just console sales numbers. Snoys like different kind of games than old fans.

That's what I mean, I'm sure they said they didn't meet the targets around the time the mass layoffs happened.
Can't find the article because of all their massive blunders this week though.

trannies diddnt get to ruin marathon

thank god

I think that's just a lie that they're telling Bungie employees. They already took Gummy Bears and split it off into it's own retarded company.

If Sony kills Marathon, we'll have an answer. It's really weird for all your paid marketing to get cancelled three months from release. I'm getting some 'this is like when Sony pulled Concord from sale and people thought it was going to get reworked/F2P'd, but actually got cancelled entirely' vibes.

nearly kills Sony

Nah. $3.6b is a couple months of CoD/Fortnite transaction fees for Sony.

If anything, the most valuable thing Sony got from Bungie is their IPs. They could shitcan every single Bungie employee and just start licensing the IPs out and probably do ok. Disney did the same thing after they realized how bullshit gamedev is.

Console tribalism is retarded, no matter what platform. And I don't even own a PS5

It will become Nintendo's fault somehow I'm sure

I don't think they realize you can force GaaS. You need an actual fucking team that wants to make something fun first.

It sure as shit weren't the higher ups who didn't even bother to come up with their own designs and stole stuff

eternal betas/alphas are part of the extraction shooter genre

"wanna see me lose $400 million?"

"wanna see me do it again?"

"wanna see me do it again?"

Sony is in the process of a hostile takeover of Bungie but they're still independent.

If anything, the most valuable thing Sony got from Bungie is their IPs.

Bungie still owns the IPs, at least for now. Not sure if there's some shit in the contract that can let Sony take them.

Still unsure why video game companies haven't given up and taken the blumhouse approach yet. Produce more games for a lot less and your chances of getting a hit is much better and when something sucks it isn't a big deal.

Ruining a reboot of an old IP with plagiarism

Why? Don't they have any pride as a game studio?

hes a evil white man

Jim Ryansteinberg

Anon...

Oh sure. They could have even handed the game off to another dev to maintain it with content afterwards.
But I guess Cuckmann didn't like being told his Intergalatic project would have to be a PS7 title if they went ahead with it.

Bungie owns the IPs

And Sony owns Bungie. Bungie is not an independent entity; they're Sony's property.

Do they know they can stop digging after they realize they are in a really deep hole?

Yeah, it started way before the chud tubers, those for the most part only exist as a symptom, trying to farm the outrage algorithm, outrage that was already there. I guarantee you most people don't watch that shit, I don't. I don't need some guy on youtube fucking up my recommendations to have a working pair of eyes and basic pattern recognition. Apparently these publishers, devs, journos and related retards don't though, or they wouldn't make and shill the same shit for the same phantom audience over and over again.

Bisexual lighting in the studio

Fags and women are the only employees

I'm glad he's gone but it's gonna take years to air his stink out of the room. Maybe PS6 could be good if they course correct hard enough, but I have no hope for PS5 whatsoever.

GIVE US THE MODERN AUDIENCE

If anything, the most valuable thing Sony got from Bungie is their IPs.

Destiny isn't worth 3 billion.

soon...

This is like how Disney gets blamed every time Lucasfilm makes a horrible mistake.

They never made Jumping Flash VR game

White man's burden. Really, the leftists are even more racist than the burly trucker who will call you the nigger word, except they are also trying to bury it behind ten layers of bullshit and self-deception.

Lucasfilm doesn't even exist anymore.

PS6 has no chance it's gonna be like 1200 dollars.

Anon all of the nuWars shit is absolutely Disney's fault what the fuck do you mean

are we that good? or that cheap? or that good and cheap?

No of course not, but since the $3.6b is already spent, it's one of the few things left that has potential value.

Their lineups were always more varied and spread, now it seems everyone just wants that one big half a decade in dev time lightning in the bottle that costs so much to develop and market, that everyone involved just crashes and burns if this one attempt doesn't work out.

Helldivers II is the IP itself now

I'm not sure how true it is but I recall during the buyout people were posting about the contract allowing Sony to dissolve and absorb Bungie entirely if certain goals weren't met or something.

PS6 will just be PS5 hardware but with a HEAVY reliance on PSSR 2.0 or whatever.

500 posts thread

you niggas really have a hate boner for bungie

Yeah, I remember that too. I think it was about firing Bungie's executives if things got bad, though. Those assholes all have golden parachutes anyway, probably

Laughing at flops is and always has been Anon Babble culture, tourist-kun.

You say it like it's a bad thing

It's the millennials trying to appeal to zoomers aesthetic.

gta online

Only made $10 billion in 12 years and that's including the launch of GTA V. Fortnite made twice as much in half the time.

No one really thinks Sony will go bankrupt
But Bungie will

Even Quebec French is different from European French. Quebec held onto some older ways to say things and their swears are based off things of Catholic origin with "tabernac" being on par with saying "fuck" which is just tabernacle in English. Chalice is also another one which is funny cause imagine someone just saying "goblet" or "cup" over and over in frustration. Romanian would technically be a Romance language but isn't 100% Latin despite the nation's name. There's a mix of Slavic over the hundreds of years of influence over the region but it matches about 77% with French in terms being able to translate.

games take so long to make now that these games were probably all greenlit years ago when gaas looked like it would take off and be this huge gold rush which we already know didn't happen but now they've spent so long and so much money on these games they have no choice but to release them

It's such a template. If you asked me "which game/comic?" I'd have no idea because, like the stern bearded white guy with an assault rifle in the marketing of every 2003-2010 war game, it's the most generic thing.

At least the war games made money. This fluorescent colors, "white woman teams up with browns to defeat white men" thing seems like it usually fails to make money. There must be another reason it is pushed.

fag month is coming up

Ah shit I'd almost forgotten. Will be interesting to see how the virtue signaling goes this year with the current climate.

And think of how much money Epic had to sink into Fortnite to keep the attention span of ADHD zoomers going at it daily, vs GTAO which can go months between a content update?

Here comes another Chinese earthquake. Erbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrb!

Holy slop

Yeah but chud№58582862 doesn't have any connections, he's a nobody's son and he never even played golf with anyone important.

Why didn't bunjie just remake Marathon 1 as a gung ho action shooter and remake pathways into darkness as a survival horror shooter and rein in both markets?

Why is 'marathon' this pink green and pastel blue small group extraction shooter? Extraction shooters aren't even good. Neither are battle royales

The cat is cute. Remove the other characters and make a game about that cat.

How long can Sony keep this up?
They have to self correct eventually, right?

that 10 billy is pure profit, fortnite spend huge amounts of money paying for collabs, and lawsuits.

They plan on releasing a 4 shader pack for Destiny 2 so you can kit out your Darth Vader transmog in trans flag colors. There are 3 others but I have no idea what the fuck they're supposed to be. They're in game now, you can preview it in collections. Not sure if it costs money, but it probably will.

not to offend jews or transvestites

hacks, thieves and lgbt communists that never played videogames before

Trans Vader

Dies in his 40s by basically killing himself

Holy fucking cringe

Also forgot

So it actually means Gay & Nigger Shit, right?

Jesus fucking CHRIST can these niggers just fuck off already

There’s a lot of ill will toward Bungie. Even /here/, you can’t really talk about Destiny 2.

TORtanic watch is a beloved Anon Babble pastime and we are in a glorious era for the sport.

/dg/ is good again, at least

Who even buys this shit? Destiny is full of dudebros.

NuBungie is arguably the most woke big game company currently. They literally changed an armor design because one faggot in Twitter cried that the letters on it looked like 'KEK'

Kek isn't even a right wing thing it came from WoW holy fuck man these """"people"""

This looks very early in development.

I'm going to guess Fortnite is more profitable.

I unfortunately know way too many Trans people that play it. Dudebros have long since moved on from D2.

Yea but Bungie will disappear before Sony does, they at least sell TVs and shit

The movie is a completely different plot with completely different characters and has nothing to do with the game besides the name. Even reddit shits on it.

Game is (was most ljkely) three months away from full release

cross dressers play military space shooters

hasn't released anything in the last two years

No shit they're running in the negative while awaiting GTA6 & Borderlands 4 to prop them back up.

That's another issue entirely. I'm thinking in terms of games here, but that's the biggest "if" in the room.

Borderlands 4

Hahahahahahahaha

Bordershit 3 sold 15mil despite people disliking it. There's still a black void that is bro-op FPS.

After BL3 and that shittacular movie it's not gonna go how they think

Most people don't know the origin

I don't think anyone really remembers the movie or cares that it sucked, Borderlands is shockingly popular with normies, even to this day.

SW being pure cancer is 100% Disney

my weirdo high-spec roboclownwife stuck in a dogshit game

Also, fortnite is what companies always point at when convincing their shareholders about live service games, but fortnite was a fluke. It was only good because pubg was the biggest most disgusting crap in the world with a pretty interesting gameplay element. It's like how fifa can still sell despite not even being called fifa anymore (also ignoring how stagnant it is) it's because the competition is such utter crap that there's no way they can't win. You can't enter the market anymore. No other football game will ever defeat fifa, and no other fortnite clone will beat fortnite. And no, you can't wait until it dies, that's like saying a new guitar hero game will make as much money as the original. The fad is gone. If sony wants a live service game, they will have to come up with an interesting premise and attach a popular IP to it, pray it sticks and hope for the best

Dilatate

It's more so they think a br and a bunch of cosmetic skins puts them in the same lv as fortnite, when fort has constant updates changing the gameplay loop and weapon load outs, special weapons and whatever else giant cinematic mech battles and island flipping over. No other game seems to get that part and just want a micro transaction br without knowing why fort has lasted, let alone how many different game modes are in fort alone. Company's don't get it or don't want to put that effort in and want an insta hit when they don't even understand what it is they even want.

I mean if this was a jsr game or something cool the artsyle might work and I' might be interested, but it's just another cod, fort, siege, warzone, destiny, halo, bland looking mannequin game.

You just described starfield which was forgotten

Nobody gives a shit about Starfield because it's classic Bethesda jank but without le fun recognizable IP attached to it. Starfield was exactly the same game as Fallout 4, except in space, and while F4 was indeed a turd, normies still ate it up and are begging for more.

I wonder what one hit wonder games like this, LoL, and DbD will come to be known as. it's clear the devs of each will never approach even a fraction of the success of these games as they somehow managed to catch lightning a bottle. I sometimes wonder if those involved even realize how lucky they are or if their egos balloon to the point of believing they'll be able to easily recreate the success with their next game.

BHVR have universally failed after DBD and seem to actually finally making DBD a little less shit, and Riot is absolutely just cashing in on LoL forever.
