Gimme more of this cute guy, Sony.

PSB: Great to know. And perhaps this is a redundant question, but it seems like maybe we haven’t seen the last of Astro Bot?
Hermen: I hope not! I love that guy.
Am I the only one who realized Sony laid off a ton of people from the original studio this was spun from and now suddenly wants to expand?
That's me hope as well.Not sure what ip that might be? hope it's a big budget astro game
Yeah, Sony can go fuck themselves. They shut down Japan Studios for this shit.Am I the only one who realized Sony laid off a ton of people from the original studio this was spun from and now suddenly wants to expand?
Their focus was gutting the Japanese team and re-hiring in other regions that combine into a Team Asobi. The Japanese team wasnt cutting it.Am I the only one who realized Sony laid off a ton of people from the original studio this was spun from and now suddenly wants to expand?
There were a bunch of Americans on that team too.Their focus was gutting the Japanese team and re-hiring in other regions that combine into a Team Asobi. The Japanese team wasnt cutting it.

I thought this was later proven false because some of the top talent communicated they were no longer working for Sony?That didn't happen. They folded Japan Studio into team Asobi. Some people were let go but presumably the best talent was retained aside from those that those to leave and pursue other projects.
Brilliant news! Thank you. I love you
That was their intention from the start. That's why they made the director of Astro's Playroom president of Japan Studio.Am I the only one who realized Sony laid off a ton of people from the original studio this was spun from and now suddenly wants to expand?
Agreed. Still have to try their PSVR game, but I absolutely loved Astro's Playroom! They made a charming game with awesome gameplay, imo.I imagine they will play a big role in PSVR2's launch lineup.
That studio went stale. They've a new fresh and exciting studio in Asobi. They'll build it with whoever is best for the job.So let me get this straight. They laid off nearly all of Japan studios then absorbed the rest into team asobi and are now hiring?
why gut Japan studios in the first place then? they fired the creative director of pupeeter and demon souls remake just in April. And now they are expanding?
wtf is going on at sony?

That’s like an ant against a tiger considering the scale of the two, but it’s certainly a high end goal they should aim forThis is great news, these guys can compete with Nintendo R&D.

That doesn’t mean they want people from the original studio. Sometimes you’ve hired duds and when you expand you have room to hire new better people.Am I the only one who realized Sony laid off a ton of people from the original studio this was spun from and now suddenly wants to expand?
It would be very smart, they'd have a Nintendo-like platformer which could bring in a lot of $$$$Not sure what ip that might be? hope it's a big budget astro game
The good part is you can do the same yourself. I'm sure in preparation for this hot take you may have practiced what you're preaching?Yeah, Sony can go fuck themselves. They shut down Japan Studios for this shit.
They were the only ones making good games.So let me get this straight. They laid off nearly all of Japan studios then absorbed the rest into team asobi and are now hiring?

They shut them down? Looks like they're still open!Yeah, Sony can go fuck themselves. They shut down Japan Studios for this shit.

And to add insult to injury, they put a western guy in charge of the studio.Am I the only one who realized Sony laid off a ton of people from the original studio this was spun from and now suddenly wants to expand?
You mean they hired based on skill and suitability for the job not race. I think you are on the wrong forum with that BS.And to add insult to injury, they put a western guy in charge of the studio.
It’s call restructuring the studio!Am I the only one who realized Sony laid off a ton of people from the original studio this was spun from and now suddenly wants to expand?
What does westerner have to do with race? What if it was a western japanese person put in charge who previously worked on UFC for EA? You think that person would put out games like Ico?You mean they hired based on skill and suitability for the job not race. I think you are on the wrong forum with that BS.
Add to that the fact the previous person 'in charge of the studio' was a 'western guy' Allan Becker.
What?! dude you will tire yourself out with these mental gymnastics. You should be replying to the other guy not me, I don't care where anybody is from just who is most suitable for a position based on merit.What does westerner have to do with race?

Because you're the one using mental gymnastics bringing up the term race because the other guy said westerner. The two are not related.What?! dude you will tire yourself out with these mental gymnastics.
