yeah, that is what i always said to my friends back in the day of the releasing of DG and DS. I used to play Obscure franchise a lot despite many critics said they were a cheap clone of Resident Evil mix Silent Hill.

Well Sony Pictures Television and Sony Pictures Animation and some parts of Aniplex are fine.
Dang I should've clicked on the article, my bad. 😂
Sony Pictures Classics distributes a lot of great movies, they aren't blockbusters tho.
I wouldn't be surprised. Press have an open world fatigue and tends to focus more on what don't work in those games.
People liked GoT way more than press for exemple.

It is pretty cool to see Sony embrace unforgiving difficult games at launch. Even the naturally non-difficult exclusive games have some good hard modes, like Ghost of Tsushima's one hit kill mode.
I think as a general rule if we should ever see Sony do a remaster/remake going forward there are a couple questions to ask ourselves:
1. Are they doing this for an eventual PC port?
2. Are they doing this to add PSVR2 support?
3. Are they doing this because they have a TV show/movie coming and want to present a more modern version of an older game for folks to experience?
4. Are they doing this to test the waters for a dormant IP to gauge interest for possible new future entries?
I think that'll cover the vast majority of reasons for a remaster/remake to exist.

It sure didn't help the situation when they had that huge leak a few years back, giving everyone an inside look at all the terrible ideas they were pitching for Spider-Man pre-Holland
Saw that too lol. Maybe they are trying to start some campaign to get Sony to add 1440p via an update?
This. People need to stop believing "insiders" just because they got one thing correct. These people get 1 thing correct and suddenly we're supposed to believe they know various things from multiple publishers and developers? Yeah, sure.
It's a bait for Twitter algorithm. That account is usually in my recommended (despite my best efforts to mute it) and Twitter promotes some console war takes in an instant, sadly.
i'm good fam. i'm staying up till midnight anyway
edit: i feel like that would tip me off to what the meta will be is the only reason
Seems like a giant waste of time. I don't know why people are asking for non-interactive movie versions of games that were only novel because they were interactive versions of movies.
Like, you take the 'anyone can die' element and the multiple endings out and all you have is a bad horror movie. Of which already exist legion.
*looks at the billion Scream movies and whatnot*
Yeah, I don't think that's a big problem and Sony could stand to make some money off of it. If it's good enough to build a bit of a cult following then it can become a regular franchise. Having TV shows/movies and games build off one another to gain new followings is part of their goal. If a film can draw folks to the franchise then that can create some sales of the existing title and help strengthen the potential consumer base of a sequel should they opt to develop one.
Scream has had six movies over two decades. The series isn't that prolific. As for Until Dawn itself, Supermassive is done working with Sony, so what's the point? Just make a bad horror movie and hope enough Playstation fans remember Until Dawn and go see it?
You would get the exact same return with an original film that has nothing to do with a six-year-old game.
Indeed. Tons of TV spots, internet ads, billboard and other various outdoor promotions around the world, social media, tons of info dumps via Youtube, blog posts and now a Superbowl ad... quite a remarkable marketing campaign for this game.
Can't wait to see how the Horizon franchise grows. We already know about the VR game, I'm sure a multiplayer or some sort of live service game has to be right around the corner. A Horizon show/movie is all but guaranteed to happen. More cross-promo with other games is likely to happen. And I'm sure we'll get Horizon 3 to drop around the end of this gen.
Fun times ahead 😁
It'd be pretty comical to see Until Dawn get a movie adaptation. The whole pitch was "it's one of those derivative slasher flicks... but now you're in control!!" It's a great idea! Game was a blast. But taking that and turning it back into a movie defeats the entire purpose of the IP.
The lead-up to the Horizon reviews reminds me of the lead-up to God of War. There seems to be a lot of suppressed hype that journalists are excited to finally let loose tomorrow morning.
This week is going to feel unbearably slow 😭

We don't really know what the future may hold for Sony and Supermassive. We had that info on them working on several SIE games, so that could still be something that happens.
As far as I'm aware, Sony doesn't really have an annual/biannual horror franchise they could milk for movie-going audiences. There's Ghostbusters but I don't know how often they plan to make those movies. They could possibly alternate with one year Until Dawn, one year Ghostbusters if they find a cadence and have enough material to work off of.
That would ensure they always have a Halloween themed movie to launch each year.
Agreed. It seems like it's going to be quite special. Of course, Elden Ring is right there to steal some of its shine. :( I wish they had more time between them.
Again, the problem is...Until Dawn's only shtick is the interactivity. It's a completely stock horror concept in every other regard. Once you take out the interactivity you have nothing. Sony knows that too.
Time to destroy the net.
Someone on the predictions thread claims that have finished the game.
I have a feeling until friday will be spoilers all over the net

I would have loved at least 2 more weeks. It's going to be hard to be in the middle of Horizon just as Elden Ring releases. I'm hoping to at least get through the main story (without rushing) by the time ER releases.
That account and a few others do it to try to get Sony to notice the desire for native 1440p output.
Then give it a shtick to appeal to a different medium. Video games and their film/TV adaptations don't have to be 1:1, that's the goal PlayStation Productions set out with when they were founded. They aim to ensure the adaptation fits the medium they're developing it for.
Obviously I'm just guessing here, but if they happen to have intentions of continuing this franchise for games then developing a film/tv franchise to go alongside it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Sure they could just make a brand new IP, but they've already got an established IP here with a bit of a cult following on the video game side. Fanning the flames to try and ignite something larger probably has a better shot of success than coming up with something entirely brand new.
So give us a film like Cabin in the Woods or something along those lines.
Yeeeep.
Please, for the love of all things holy and Kaz Hirai, if anyone gets the game early, please please don't post any spoilers here. If you want to post some non-spoiler impressions that should be perfectly fine. Thank you in advance!
all that said the wait is rough man
Nah i don't expect to make much 21 million from 15 markets okay but not a sign that it will do really well.
Truth is Sony anime and tv parts has been good for years .
It the movie section that has been awful for over decade lol
Damn, Sony's gotta be spending a lot to put out a cinematic trailer for the game. Super Bowl ad spots aren't cheap.
Firesprite are rumored to be developing a horror sci fi adventure game. I'd wager if Sony will go with that if they want a horror IP for PP. It'll be newer and a concept that's likely a fresher adapter than a spin on the teen slasher genre.
