New OT. Great work as always JuanLatino & Nagito .
The new banners are looking great. The font for current and past work is a bit small, though.

I mean Shu played an early version of Demon's Souls with huge framerate issues and a broken online mode. And after playing two hours and still being at the beginning of the game he gave up. It's not really a shocking story that Shu thought it sucks.
Sony still paid From Software to create a Sony game. They had a great relationship before and after Demon's Souls.
They are two companies with a long history together and not some teenagers with some kind of a love-hate relationship where one person "crawls back" to the other one after getting "ditched".
Sony did finance Demon's Souls with them and started a new genre with From Software. The other Souls games probably wouldn't exist without that first experience. Bloodborne is also many people's favourite game from that studio.
They have been doing one game per generation with them with a new coming so yes the relationship is great I'm sure.
And this is how nonsense narratives are made.
You do know about shu calling Demon's Souls bad that it was from an early alpha build and that the game became one of his favorite games by launch right? Shu even announced the remake during the Future of Gaming due to his well known story on that game. Idk about that "crawling back to get Bloodborne" part either. But I guess you somehow made it to make sense in your head, despite not being the case.
Improved load times? So the game must fast travel you a few seconds before you even decide to, now. Because the load times were already magic.

"For my personal experience with Demon's Souls, when it was close to final I spent close to two hours playing it and after two hours I was still standing at the beginning at the game. I said, "This is crap. This is an unbelievably bad game." So I put it aside."
But sure, that's my anti-shill narrative that's showing here.
Also he loved the game so much that he and the rest of execs pulled all the marketing and publishing from NA and Europe, just to keep his favourite to himself I guess.
Sure, later he realized that they dropped the ball with the game and he probably even really likes the game now, but it doesn't change the things that happened. His annoucement of a remake was somewhat of a redemption, but still, don't try to give me that great relationships and "near and dear my heart" bullshit like nothing happened lmao.
One thing doenst invalidate the other and he already admite his mistake, that doesnt change that it is a game dear to him, nobody here knows what the relashionship between him and from are.
Shu: "We definitely dropped the ball from a publishing standpoint, including studio management side. We were not able to see the value of the product we were making."
He completely admits its Sony's fault but it's definitely not Sony's fault.
Aye, with that I can at least agree, because years have passed and a lot could've changed. But it irritates me when someone tries to say otherwise and also dismisses signs of things not being that great in the past.
It is the newly released OT, but it is the DC of the last one.
It will have the same topics and arguments of the last OT, but also feature content that wasn't part of the last OT.
And do we have to pay for it? Because I already own the previous OT and the added features seem lackluster…
I so behind on my gaming, still have not finished Returnal, need to cop me Tsushima, and Stranding. Have not played Miles yet, so behind and many games are coming soon. :'(
It is included in the Era Clear subscription, or will feature new advertising for the free users.
I thought I'd be done with AC Valhalla before the Iki Island expansion hits, but nope. Not even close. Ridiculously bloated game and definitely not as good as Odyssey. Probably gonna drop it.
I feel ya.
Most recent game I bought and finished was Returnal. After that...no time (and not a lot of disposable income :( ).
Been playing Slay The Spire and Splitgate occasionally, though, so there's that.
Thank you for your posts. It really sucks that it needs to be repeated ad nauseum but way too many people still have this "how hard can it be" attitude because they were never curious enough to look a little behind the curtain to see how it all works and gets made. Otherwise it would be pretty clear how something like WFH can obliterate your entire workflow and it's not necessarily something that can be fixed over months, if at all. Not to mention things like the huge setbacks for the mocap studios and how these delays might conflict with the actor's schedules. There's just so much stuff to think about.
I hope we'll get to see a documentary from one of the bigger productions that covers the entire pandemic. Perhaps even a new doc on God of War 2, that would be cool.
Lol, yeah, I saw that my post was, like, the last post in that thread, and was tempted to repost it here, but was too lazy to, so thank you, platocplx for bringing it over to the new thread for me 😂😂
As for your question, that's a bit out of my wheelhouse, to be honest! I'm not an engineer or technical systems designer, so I can't say for sure. While I'm fairly positive that the inclusion of SSDs as standard on these new consoles has made things easier in some way, I can't say for sure, because each studio and project is different, and the needs of that studio/project can vary significantly from project to project and studio to studio.
I imagine that the SSD has freed up a lot of resources compared to working with the limitations of an HDD, but I don't have any experience working with SSDs at the moment, and my specific job doesn't actually require me to work with memory allocation and bandwidth directly anyway lol
There are, just watch the latest trailer. Textures looks better
Too good a convo not to continue. Esp when we have some others who are dealing with large amounts of data at home and the issues.
Hell for a while my internet kept freaking going out come to find out my cable splitter was bad and when I replaced it it started working again just one of the fun issues lol.
You went down with the ship. Be proud.
Ah, I see. Thank you for answering as best you could anyway.
We all are. Come
On Sony, Kojima, and Konami sell your IP to Sony.
Demon's Souls entire development was not great, it's a fantastic story in hindsight, but a miracle it wasn't cancelled (like any other time in the PS3 life cycle it'd have for sure been cancelled miracle).I really doubt anyone on the team had hurt feeling over the high ups at Sony reactions, given it was already considered a failure in-house, it wasn't really what Sony even asked for and was coming in very hot due to the development being aimless before Miyazaki took the project over.
Right things at the time probally we're very accurate and everything looks different in hindsight not much to draw from it at all other than of you truly believe in your creation do all that you can to see it through.
The very clear and apparent thing with Demon Souls is that From went on to make the same game with a different name because the IP was tied to Sony. And they did that without Sony's involvement.
We can't read into the relationship precisely of course, but one or both parties clearly weren't interested in continuing the style of games post-Demon's.

I NEED the new Sly game rumor to be true but the fact that none of the games got remastered or ported to PS4 makes me doubt it.
Ah yes XDev Asia/Japan whose sole purpose is to partner with studio's to produce AAA first party titles won't partner with a studio to produce a AAA title.
Who knows if the From rumours are true or not but that new XDev take is pretty hilarious. It doesn't matter if producers of previous collabs left. That is like saying a studio or company could never make a new game or sequel because some people left said company.

If a new Sly is being made then I wonder if they are going to continue where Thieves in Time left off or will they just retcon that game and start by after the events of Sly 3?
I think a lot of it is just people hoping it won't happen since then it'd be exclusive.
Great post.
The pandemic has hit the practicalities of development really hard. The simplest of tasks become much harder with the smallest of issues.
Overall Sony have done a great job throughout the pandemic with PS5's launch and continuing to support normal PS4 releases. Some great content during the last year and a half. In fact their performance has been really stand-out so far, all things considered.
Yes, but the source was anonymous. The rumor appeared on reddit and even mentioned the code name of the project: Velvet Veil. Also one person hinted it in the past thread.
I just hope the new Sly game has high quality cel shaded graphics that make it look like a 2D cartoon. Only two games were very close to that look. Ni No Kuni and Windwaker.
