The fact that he responded to that, speaks volumes…and not in a good way.
No, people jusst come to their own conclusions and others run with it.The fact that he responded to that, speaks volumes…and not in a good way.
If you speak it’s wrong and if you ignore it’s wrongThe fact that he responded to that, speaks volumes…and not in a good way.
It took Sony Santa Monica 4 years to produce a sequel to God of War 2018. You're saying that a studio that had to be put together from scratch and chose a dormant IP to revive/reboot for modern audiences should have been able to produce a game in less time? Nice logic.They are having issues because they announced the initiative like 4 years ago and we still haven’t seen any gameplay and they needed significant secondary studio help
Mind...you also going through covid on top of being a brand new studio.It took Sony Santa Monica 4 years to produce a sequel to God of War 2018. You're saying that a studio that had to be put together from scratch and chose a dormant IP to revive/reboot for modern audiences should have been able to produce a game in less time? Nice logic.
I get your reserve…but why does he respond at all?No, people jusst come to their own conclusions and others run with it.
I’d rather someone ignore than to respond with no substance..it just sounds fishy.If you speak it’s wrong and if you ignore it’s wrong

It took Kojima 4 years to start a studio from scratch without an office without an engine without any developers starting from literally nothing and he still released a game in less than 4 years.It took Sony Santa Monica 4 years to produce a sequel to God of War 2018.

I don't believe "smooth sailing" is a term that anyone would use to describe AAA game development.It is nice logic if you had reading comprehension.
I never said that the game should ship in 4 years, but certainly I'd want to have some kind of trailer that showcases something more tangible than a CGI teaser. Absent any kind of tangible information whatsoever about the game, the only safe assumption is that they're going through some issues.
Does that mean the project is in development hell? Not necessarily, but it certainly hasn't been smooth sailing.

What a laughable thing to say.The fact that he responded to that, speaks volumes…and not in a good way.
Ill reserve judgement on this Matt Booty guy until I can play some of the games he is promising, whenever that is. I honestly don't know much about that guy.Eh, there are plenty of AAA games that are relatively smooth sailing. I mean, it's always going to have ups and downs. But getting something out in 3-5 years that's compelling is par for the course. Certainly you'd need to SHOW something tangible within 3 years.
What has happened under Matt Booty's watch has been nothing short of the most disastrous mismanagement I've ever seen from such a big company with so many resources and such a vested effort in the gaming space. He should have been fired years ago.
Well said. Phil takes all the criticism but Booty is equally responsible if not more. As someone who went out and bought an x1 day one because of Don Matrick's launch and year 1 lineup, i have been disappointed by Booty's first party efforts ever since finishing Sunset in 2014. It's either been middling or atrocious or simply absent. there were several years where they didnt release any AAA games. 2022 isnt the first year. 2020 and 2018 or 2017 were devoid of any AAA releases from their first party studios.What has happened under Matt Booty's watch has been nothing short of the most disastrous mismanagement I've ever seen from such a big company with so many resources and such a vested effort in the gaming space.

Indeed. It was laughable that he said that. Lol….care to explain why it’s laughable?What a laughable thing to say.

I still love you TopherSometimes people just speak the truth.
Yes! Finally someone made me lol on GAF. I’ve been trolling for like two days, thank youI'm married.
Your post is laughable because respond or not, nothing he said would've been enough to indicate there isn't a problem to someone with your attitude. Hence, your post is laughable.Indeed. It was laughable that he said that. Lol….care to explain why it’s laughable?
He stated “ I read online 'there is a problem' or something, and it's actually quite the opposite”.
Why are you responding to some random shit you read online, shit is suspect. Paint it however you want, but to me this clearly means he is worried about it .
Responding to Twitter posts is no one’s job, stop it.Your post is laughable because respond or not, nothing he said would've been enough to indicate there isn't a problem to someone with your attitude. Hence, your post is laughable.
Why is he responding? You mean, other than being his literal job, that his statement was part of a response to a larger question, and he used the online discourse as an example of where online people get it wrong due to the way games development has changed? Do you even understand the thread your posting in?

What about every other game that got delayed this year? (Feels like 99% of them) and every week we get more delay announcements.Feels like the Covid excuse only applies to Microsoft Game Studios' games; indeed, we don't hear that excuse when it comes to PlayStation or Nintendo.
Doesn't mean it's bad. The new GOW has not much to do with the old ones and it seems quite popular.I feel like this game is going to miss the point entirely about what made Perfect Dark 64 great.
