>>741172450Why 3 games though they should have moved on from this psycho always screaming like an idiot
>>741172450Oh shit, really? Get fucked then, good riddance.The first game was pretty good, it positively surprised me quite a bit. The second game looked AWFUL from the start, but I enjoyed the first so much I thought I'd give it a shot. It's crazy how much of a downgrade it is, despite the first not even being amazing or anything.
DMC avenged
>>741172450There was another one of these "games" coming out? How many have been already, 3? Played the first one and I was bored to tears a couple hours in.
>>741172450you mean the team that brought us this masterpiece is closing? awh shucks
>>741172450This and Horizon exist and seemingly are said to be critically acclaimed masterpieces that surpass the writing talents of every named author before it e.g. Edgar Allen Poe, Tolkien, Stephen King or the Bible and yet....I've never seen anyone explain or tell me why they're good or mention them in passing.

>show game trailer during conference>cancel game and close down studio a week laterWhat is this business strategy called?
>>741176673Apparently it was a desperate attempt to show their talent to possible buyers, that's why it's releasing so soon.Funny how fast these devs can work when they're about to lose their jobs.
>>741172450Is it too late to do Mom of War too?
>>741172450>>741174828
>>741176345Nobody hates white people as much as white christians (who desperately wish they were born as god's chosen people instead).
>>741172450>closing down the studio a week after featuring their latest game in your presentationwhat on earth did Microsoft meme by this lmao
Deserved. This studio went from making pretty solid action games to making boring movies.
>>741172450who?
>finally announce the game with the title you always wanted to use>get shut down a week lateroi I am laffin
>>741177812lmao
>>741178363Yeah, but 2 was boring as fuck and had little gameplay
Ngl, it had an interesting concept. But how the fuck are you going tonshow previous footage kn the trailer of a new game? But shit, I cant blame Microsoft on this one.
They said Double Fine was under threat as well.It's over Tim.
>>741172450Oh no that sucks
DmC and Heavenly Sword bros... it's our chance!
>>741178441This is probably the real reason. It was like 7 years between Hellblade and Hellblade 2, and 2 didn't sell that well. Still it's pretty fucked for Microsoft to allow them to announce and show off a new game, only to shitcan them a few days later.
>>741178815Tim must be a master bullshitter to keep the gravy train running this long
>>741172450There's nothing that mentions cancellation in the link.Provide a source retard
>>741174632Thanks I'm putting this in my new upcoming "Degenerate Art: Faggot Games Edition" exhibit.
Enslaved Odyssey to the West was kino. RIP Ninja Theory.
>>741172450Is this the one with that screaming, cringed faced psycho mouthing some incantation? Embarrassing and good riddance if so.
good riddance. the studio died 15 years ago, the moment it stopped making video games
>>741172450>OP makes shit up and everyone just goes along with itJust nuke this site already.
>>741179360He's like the guys at Media Molecule who can spend 6+ years on Dreams, release to mediocre sales, and still get funding for years to come. I have no idea how either company manages to work at all.
>>741172450GET FUCKED TAMEEM YOU FAGGOT
>>741180942https://www.theverge.com/games/950204/xbox-ninja-theory-shutdown-hellblade-senua
did we win again by not doing anything?
>>741181218
>>741178815should have made grim fandango 2
Where's the closing down statement? I don't see anything..
>>741181256Well I'll be. Why the fuck can't nigger OP do anything right?That's hilarious though.
>>741172649I bought the very first. I thought the concept is cool, then I realized I hate movies pretending to be games
>>741172450Why did they announce a game one day and cancel it the next? This screams incompetent leadership
>reveals new xbox console with a trailer featuring a complete literal who character whose first game was ported everywhere and the xbox fans have zero attachment to
>>741181419
>>741181565Reactions to the trailer was negative, I can imagine Sharma saw that and was like "yeah nobody's buying a 3rd one of these" and brought the axe down.
>>741172450BasedRule #1 of being a game dev studio: don't get acquired by the largest globohomo corporation
>>741181565The gaming industry is unironically crashing, and Xbox is just getting ahead of things for when the new fiscal year starts next month. They're about to shut down Compulsion Games who made South of Midnight too.There's also rumors of layoffs at Bethesda and Id Software, and likely one of the Arkane studios being shut down too.Outside of Xbox/Microsoft shit is also going down. DontNod, Quantic Dream, Bungie, Bioware, etc. are about to either have mass layoffs or actual closures too.
>>741172450>microsoft wasted billions buying studios and letting them produce garbage>now when shits hitting the fan and xbox is on death's doorstep they're just closing all the studios down and canceling the shit games instead of just forcing them to make good ones again>now xbox has no fucking games, even shit ones, while they're still trying to sell consoles off the games they announced literally last week they've just now canceledabsolutely retarded series of events
>>741172450Oh my fucking God...Just when I thought I couldn't love my curry milf wife more than I loove her now.I FUCKING KNEEL
>>741172450>>741181256Had to scroll this low for proof. Nigger OPAnyway good riddance
>>741182234Das rite
>>741181926>basedyou know they are just gonna give Senua to a bigger studio, right? they want it to compete with god of laundry
>>741172450Was it actually cancelled though?
>>741172450noooooooooooooo not my angry lesbian simulator part threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeseriously how tf did they make 2 of these
>>741172450s
>>741182342Nigga kys
>>741172450wait did that fucking game we saw trailers for every year for the past decade get cancelled?
>>741172450So we aren't getting any more of this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Emq8p9DLO2M
>>741182045It's not just Xbox. Sony is also following the same playbook.>Last of Us live service game Naughty Dog - Cancelled December 2023>Spider-Man live service game from Insomniac - Cancelled December 2023>Project Copper/Twisted Metal battle royale live service game from Firesprite Studios - Cancelled February 2024>Draconis/Ooze, live service game from Deviation Games(ex-CoD devs) - Cancelled early 2024 and studio shut down March 2024>Project Camden, live service game from PlayStation Studios' London Studio - Cancelled February 2024, studio shut down May 2024>Operation Payback, 3rd person Destiny-related live service game from Bungie - Cancelled June 2024>Concord, live service game from Firewalk Studios - Shut down 11 days after release in August 2024, studio shut down October 2024>Mirror Pond, live service game from Bend Studios - Cancelled January 2025>God of War live service game from Bluepoint Games(RIP) - Cancelled January 2025, studio shut down March 2026>Unknown name, live service game from Dark Outlaw Games(Jason Blundell, ex-CoD zombie guy who was at Deviation Games) - Cancelled and studio shut down in March 2026Upcoming live service games that will either be cancelled or failures:>Br€ak In(Fairgame$), live service from Haven Games>Horizon Steel Frontiers, live service MMO from NCSoft/Guerilla Games>Horizon Hunters Gathering, live service co-op from Guerrilla Games>Gummy Bears, live service MOBA from teamLFG(studio where Sony removed devs from Bungie and gave them their own studio)
>>741182638You mean Project Mara? They announced a week ago that it was cancelled.
>>741182910This console generation is such a bloodbath holy shit.
>>741176673XBOX special
>>741183032They're shooting themselves in the foot, but they have infinite money to buy replacement feet thanks to government gibs.
>>741181174Woah, there fella.Media Molecule have Little Big Planet under their belt, and it was for a time Sony's Mascot.Dreams would had done great...on the Switch.PS5 owners are mostly browns who only care about COD and Fifa reason Sony flipped when MS bought ActiBlizz.Not the type of platform for family friendly stuff.Tim was carried during the Lucasarts days and his last good game was 20 years ago.He is the western equivalent of Keiji Inafune.Did some great stuff a long time ago, then went indie and fumbled.
>>741182967oh, alrightglad no one will have to see her face anymore, by the sounds of it
>>741172450>Niche art project that very clearly did not need a sequel, nevermind a triology.>Limited appeal, mediocre gameplay.>Sequel sells horribly.>Announce a third for some reason.>Get shut down before you can blow more money pointlessly.That's how it goes.
>>741172450is microsoft finally gonna cut all these studios who just milk a project for 7 years and then release pure shit
good riddance
for once, i agree with the company doing the layoffs. Fuck Hellblade.
>>741183131>but they have infinite money to buy replacement feet thanks to government gibs.Not anymore.Yurop is not funding these after the elections.>yfw the last two console generations were part of greater gibs scamsThe jeet CEO should had been a red flag.
>>741183148>Media Molecule have Little Big Planet under their belt, and it was for a time Sony's Mascot.Yes, but with each new game it sold worse as a brand, Dreams came out at a time where both of their Tearaway releases flopped, and they haven't done anything since. The last time they were successful was LBP2 15 years ago, arguably LBP3 since that at least went Playstation Hits territory.
>>741176673>we're going back to exclusives!>also some of our studios are gonna possibly close down teehee
>>741172450DmC being rancid dogshit and causing secondaries to pop up every time a thread for the game showed up was more than enough of a reason to have this dogshit studio shut down. All of their games flopping later was just icing on the cake.
>>741183309two more weeks
>>741178815The fuck did they even release in recent years?
>>741183774kiln`
>usually when closures happen people wax poetic about how sad it is>most people are celebrating NTs closurelol
>>741183774Some living pottery game, and that game with the lighthouse and goofy bird.
>>741183801A multiplayer game that currently has 14 players according to Steamcharts.Bill's come due.
>>741182910Jim Ryan really thought playstation was going to have a dozen Fortnites.
>>741172450They really made the same moviegame three times in a row and were like "this one for sure"
>>741183774An abridged history of Double Fine:>psychonauts>brutal legend>small indie no one played>small indie no one played>3.3 million>small indie no one played>abandoned early access scam>small indie no one played>lucasarts remasters>small indie no one played>psychonauts 2>small indie no one played
>>741177812
Total westoid game dev death.We need even more of this, we should have one of these every few months.
>>741184260when they showed off that lighthouse game and that pottery game I thought Microsoft was crazy for not closing the studio downYou can't even cope by saying they're making "art" because it's just gay shit with zero appeal to anyone, not even snobs
>>741172450I always thought that it was in poor taste to have this ugly beast represent people dealing with psychosis.
>>741185158it gets even funnier when you find out Senua is modelled and acted by one of the devs themselves
>>741172450S
>>741182045i think Phil just tossed money around and only got taken advantage of unfortunately. no oversight whatsoever.
>>741172450>make shitty games>get shut downThere's a very simple solution to all of this
>>741185775this experiment was usefulall the armchair CEOs who said that if you just throw money at devs they'll make good games turned out to be wrong
>>741174632>every single whore has missing limbs/prostetics>temu ivara (from warframe) on the rightDamn.Antiwhiteism truly rots the soul
>>741176479>Whites have a serious mental health crisisfixed.Whites are having a serious mental healthy crisis everywhere. not just suburbs.It's due to antiwhite ideology.
>>741177812I really want to know if anyone took him up on this.And if so why.
What? But I thought these games were massive sellers and owned the chuds? How could they be closing down such a successful studio?!
>>741172450uh, based
>>741174828It’s, “I am woman, here me flop”, you dumb fucking zud.
>>741176673I’d like to imagine Ninja Theory snuck in Hellblade 3 teaser into the Xbox showcase and it was too late to stop them and this is their punishment
>>741179347The game they showed off literally was most of 2
>another screaming Karen face game shut down Good. Die to Muslim invaders.
>>741182045>>741182910Once again Nintendo and Valve win by doing nothing.
>>741185080The lighthouse game seems decently artistic and appealing, but it's the kind of light puzzle/walking sim/movie game typical of indies from 15 years ago so it was obviously never going to be a smash it. The pottery game, I have no idea what they were thinking. It's like a quirky level from inside someone's mind in Psychonauts, then basing an entire game on it.
>>741187964Well there is a video called septic 5 so i assume it's real.
>>741188321Sucks because the concept was really interesting
>>741172450Good. Retards should never have made sequels to the first game. Putting her on more schizo journeys ruins the closure of the first game.
>>741172450Why did they even make this a franchise?
>first game's a budget game punching above it's weight, but still showing its limitations>second game knock out the park with the visuals, again punching above its weight, but regressed massively on the gameplay aspect, might as well be a FMV "game">third game finally seems to combine the good aspects of the first and the second, and maybe beyond>canceledlmao wtf
>>741189327Doesn't seem like you're talking about senuas bootyhole blade
>>741178030The game was only announced to advertise a reason for some other entity to buy Ninja TheoryThey were begging for engagement and unusually advertising their low headcount a few days ago.
lmao eat shit dykes
>>741172450I remember some troon gloating when this was announced. Hope more of these types of games continue to get the axe
>>741177812Masterful
>>741172920The second game should've just been apart of the first game. It was way too short to be its own standalone. The combat system should've stayed the game too. I actually got bored during 2's combat and I don't think I lost a fight once.
Schrier already debunked the closing of Ninja THeory
>>741182910 GoG is just watching Xbox and Playstation crumble and that's hilarious
>>741189498Make something other that a literal "press x to win" movie game
>>741172920>The first game was pretty goodNo it fucking wasn't, faggot
>>741188334
>>741172450Oh no, that sucks.
>>741181926whats the brain parasite called that caused some 3rdie polfags to use photo mode to take extreme close ups of the senua face and then cry how they're being hurt by the woke games industry?
>>741189693>combat system There was combat?
>>741172920>The first game was pretty goodfirst game flopped, 2nd flopped hard and the 3rd will never come out
Still wondering what Sony will do with ND after Intergalactic underperforms. That game is supposed to be absurdly expensive, but it's just a single player game that has no hype and an ugly protagonist everyone already hates
>>741176673Nobody's gonna shed tears for this.
>>741189876>There was combat?Yes, the first one actually had the light, medium, and heavy trope of enemies to fight and you could get filtered if you didn't actually pay attention and learn their mechanics. The game was generous with deaths and also fucked with you by lying and saying the "dark rot" on your arm that grows with each death would delete your save if it grew too much.This visuals and the bosses fucking with you before the fights were all well done, especially Valravn's. The second game has almost none of that same spark. Its boring and dull. The combat is also now "press x to win" as some have said.
>>741176479Being told to commit racial suicide will do that to ya'.Why do you think there are so many shittedfags? Hint: It's not just the libshits into it.
>>741174632No matter how many times I've been beaten over the head with it, I still can't believe people who look at that picture and go "yep, that's a winner" are an actual part of this world.Shit just doesn't compute.
>>741189498Twitter likes do not transate into sales, as part of a dev team this is a reality i will have to face one day.
>>741178056DmC broke them. I remember thinking that the Journey to the West one with Andy Serkis was decent.
>>741176673a company will keep the "everything is going well" facade until they legally cannot
>>741190095I was being sarcastic
>>741184260Man, Brutal Legend was such a cool idea when it was marketed as a heavy metal Legend of Zelda isekai, and then it became a lame RTS out of nowhere.
>>741176673Business as usual for Microsoft. They once showed a Phantom Dust sequel trailer despite the game already being cancelled internally.
>>741182045I feel bad for the low level guys who have no control over any of this shit. I barely dodged a round of layoffs a couple of months ago myself at a place because we're similarly run by retards who just want to waste money.
>>741172450>Microsoft cancelling a game immediately after showing a trailer/announcementMany such cases.Is anyone surprised though? I don't know a single fucking person who bought these games. I don't even know who the target audience is? Anyone who wants this shit owns a PS5, not an Xbox.
>>741189970Schrier did say Sony isn't happy with how long it's taking them to ship a game. They have essentially gone the entire PS5 gen without one, and are one of the most expensive studios in the industry to run. And the new Jap CEO of SIE probably isn't going to give them progressive godmode like they had before.
>>741172450I don't even know what game this is. All of these slop titles bleed into each other and I'm only informed of their release and subsequent flopping by /v/ steam chart posters.
>>741190184That's why we got a code Veronica remake, all from Twitter/x and people that were too young to even remember the fucking dreamcast.
>/v/ acting as if they have never heard of senua beforeI can't tell if this is a bit or people dont play videogames anymore
>>741190567>He doesn't remember the showings for Hellblade 2: Senua's SagaHoly retard
>>741190416Ps5 is hotdog water thobeit.
>>741172450Sauce? Stem page says it's coming soon
>>741190645No one still played it. Even with heilung
>games whose whole selling points are women making intentionally ugly facesoh no
>>741190992True, but that doesn't mean people haven't heard of it.
>>741190381>I feel bad for the low level guys who have no control over any of this shit.Then you are medically retarded, despite what ecelebs tell you, mid management are the ones who run the show in gaming industry, while suits only care about money and believe almsot everything that these fags tell them
>>741172450I was just playing the first on gamepass. I was working on getting to the second boss and it kept making me line the damn symbols up with things in the environment. It’s fine once, but by the fourth I realized I wasn’t having fun and the cinematic part wasn’t compelling up to that point.
>>741190180Because you aren't thinking like them. This isn't for any purpose but demoralization and mental castration. That's it. They are so ingrained with this conditioning they cannot stop.
>>741189835Someone's upset
>>741172450She screamed the studio's heads off
>>741176673death spiralthe new leadership will make drastic draconian decisions. When they fail, a new leader is forced to hold the bag and do the same thing. repeat until they find the right leader (they wont find the right leader)
>>741190909I know. I said it's shit. Games like this are shit. But normie retards love them. Thus why they buy PS5s to play them. Not Xbox's.
>>741182910crash and burn motherfuckers
>>741174828>I am woman>Hear me flop>In numbers too low to eat slop
>>741190293There's a Viking game on 360 that was what Brutal Legend should've been
Those Hellblade games are made exclusively for The Game Awards voting panel
>>741172450They did it... they killed off the strong scream womyn... are you proud of yourselves, gamers?
>>741190180That's because you are zoomer who have memory of goldfish and no social awareness.
>>741174828Guys will love playing games about crazy screaming bitches
>>741182910The fucked up thing is this dude listed LESS THAN HALF of Sony's Live Service gamesThey were making SEVENTEEN live service games, and all but four have been cancelled.And Microsoft STILL fucked up worse
>>741189498Hellblade 2 bombed so announcing a sequel to it was not going to excite investors. They must have had literally no other ideas for a game.
>>741191609Why didn't crazy screaming bitches buy it? I thought representation mattered.
>>741191565No need to thank me.
>>741172450honestly insane they even put on a showcase and let studios they're axing announce things. just completely and totally mismanaged
>>741190149Unexpected Jigoro in 2026.
>>741191717Unfortunately the majority of crazy screaming bitches don’t play video games.
>>741172649There was a second one?
>>741176673Xbox does this EVERY year.
Why is /v/ pretending to care about Fouble Fine and Ninja Theory all of the sudden?
>>741191917Honestly despite his really cool design he was a total non-character.The pre-release era KS was way more fun.
Capcom should send these woke fags a farewell basket.
>>741184260>>psychonauts>>brutal legend>>small indie no one played>>small indie no one played>3.3 million>small indie no one playedI WAS THE ONE GUY THAT PLAYED COSTUME QUEST 1 AND 2, STACKING AND IRON BRIGADE. THAT WAS ME. I'M THE GUY. THEY'RE ALL GREAT GAMES.
>>741192065leftypol have been active as fuck here lately, did you not see all the shilling for that meh 007 game?
>>741192065Sony mass clossing their studios, so now everyone will need to focus on microsoft with nintendo and whatever they do >>741186836
>>741179450The morbidly obese woman with the buzzsaw wheelchair is named "buttercup". She's radical at any size.
>>741192138I figured that was just regular marketing, and some anons who were fucking desperate for swimsuit thonged ass in western games.
>>741176345Get your booster christcuck
>>741192079I wasn't around for the pre-release threads, but the first two years post release were quite magical.>all the art>all the wrinting
>>741192112I got some of those via timmy.>Candy Corn is an enigma wrapped in a delicious candy shell.
The first Hellblade was a good game. It didn't need sequels, however
>>741192243>All those storyfag threadsSome of the pre-release ones were really fun. I still can't look at this painting without thinking of SHINING GUNDAM
>>741178815Mr Shitface should hire DJ Phil Fish again for his shitcanning party.
>>741192319And let's not forget the positive impact KS had on the hearts of many anons.
>>741192365The first video game to actually make anons go outside and exercise
>>741191940Even if they did, they aren't as many as they thought.
>>741190557>That's why we got a code Veronica remake, all from Twitter/xAre you retarded? Resident Evil games sell like gangbusters.
All thanks to /ourguy/ freezing malicious subsidizers
>>741178030It's called "measuring audience response." They probably knew they were on the shitlist, but thought it might be possible to throw some other studio to the sharks, so they pleaded with microsoft to let them prove their shitty little IP is liked with a trailer. It came out and literally nobody cared.I speculate this also moved forward the timeline on other studios too, since it made the new girlboss realize devs will just fucking lie to keep their job working on a mid flop for five years
>>741182045When will you retards learn? STUDIOS DON'T MAKE GAMES it's just a fucking trademark, a sticker only you are legally allowed to put on the box. They are not and they cannot release good games anymore not because they didn't pick the right IP that you liked, but because all the people that actually made that shit that you liked either left or they are no longer the same people they were back then. Why are you begging them to desecrate the corpse of the shit you liked?
>>741172450FUCK YOU
>>741187726That was the overwhelming gamer opinion "publishers bad, just let devs do whatever they want and they'll make amazing shit." In some cases it worked... for a game or two, before their output and/or quality dropped off a cliffUnfortunately people are naturally lazy and there has to be a beancounter with a whip around.
>>741193576they left specifically because the companies that bought them made them produce fucking dogshit so they started leaving. some veteran studio heads were even departing like the day of all these layoffs
>>741190909It got gun AND ball games, what exbawks got? Starfield?
>>741182910Br€ak In and Horizon need to get canned too. The reception to both of those games has been terrible
>>741194218Also Intergalactic and Laufey
>>741190180Reminder that it was Epstein's idea to inject demoralizing content and live service monetization into gaming.
>>741172450That's a shame, it's a good series
>movie games not sellingOh noSomeone should tell Sony as well
>>741172450>Game about a drug addicted schizo>Third game advertised but never comes outPottery
>>741189916no first game did well because NT made the game on the cheap. Then MS bought them and basically handed them a blank check to make a huge AAA experience.
FAFO
didn't they JUST take like 10 years to make a really short sequel to their original really short walking simulator about a schizo woman yelling into the camera? no clue why it takes 10 years to make that
>>741194667I think that poster is what he hates. The mocked tweet is somewhat based and a rare example of rational females in the workforce. Pronatalism is a stupid thing to mock.
>>741176962>Funny how fast these devs can work when they're about to lose their jobs.curious isn't it?I'm guessing with the end of cheap money publishers are done getting grifted by gamedevsI still remember the riot fighting game with 180 devs for 10 years of dev time releasing with 6 characters and no special game mode or anything
>>741194791>no clue why it takes 10 years to make thatbecause they spent their time doing literally anything but making the game
>>741192219What does Ken Ham's statement have to do with the vaccine?
>>741189970they crunched a few months ago for a vertical to show to the sonys execsthis is the kind of stuff they show in conferenceswe were shown nothingso either the game is cancelled and they are trying to keep quiet about it or the game is so putrid they can't show anythingmy guess is naughty dog's next game is an uncharted game (hopefully not one where you play as nathan's daughter or else they are done for) and druckman is out

How has ninja theory been around for such a long time and not even made one good game.
>>741196130we have no idea just how many poisonous things the CIA was financing
>>741195815my schizo theory is these companies invested way too fucking much into AI and are just now realizing that the technology is literally too expensive for the average consumer to afford, and now they're just nuking everything in a panic to recoup losses
>>741196527They're too expensive for the companies themselves as well. I've cost my employer $300 in tokens in the last 2 days lmao
>>741196230its pretty terrifying what they are trying to do that is wholly unnatural and obviously harmful to the population

>>741178815Double Fine is always in perpetual financial ruin.
Hellblade is interesting because it does things I've never seen another game do from an audio/visual standpoint, but its combat is a total flatline because you can't fail or die. The ending moment where Senua's being a badass lacks catharsis because you basically didn't do anything to make it happen.>>741194398It's not. It has good things in it (at least the first one because its the one I played), but the combat not challenging the player makes it ultimately not a game worth playing.

>>741196527Yeah if AI had held onto their loss-leading plan to get these morons to hinge their entire financial plan on hidden 90% subsidies for like 6-8 more months, we would see some pretty big giants falling in the next couple years as the real costs hit them in the face. Shame, this is just a forest fire when this retarded industry needs a cleansing armageddon.

weird if you search Senua you find zero discussion of the game being cancelled. Really nobody cares about that franchise.This is the most clicked trailerThe game was so dead in the water that not even 4chan bothered to shitpost it.
>>741179553The game had god tier sound design, though.It's frustrating because Senua has a great concept but does little with it.
NT pushed female characters before it was cool and their best games were slightly above average at best.>>741176673throwing shit against a wall and see if it sticks>>741190189I still believe that Capcom confused Ninja Theory with Team Ninja

>>741178030I mean...nobody will question it too much since the most vocal people are just celebrating another studio closing.

>>741202649The main other issue is that Senua as a character is 2% as interesting as the developers and writers think she isThe schizophrenia concept outstays its welcome quite quickly and past that there's really not much else to her.
>>741189498>85 people>SmallYeah no wonder they are getting canned. 30 and below can be considered small, 85 is not.

I mean they should be demonized for a lot of things, but trimming the fat from the Xbox division is not one of them.This is a perfectly rational decision.>develop games no one wants using microsoft money>they are adored by critics and commercial flops>microsoft shuts down the studio due to them bleeding money>surprisedpikachuface.jpg

I don't understand how anyone thought this shit needed 3 games.
>>741206496creative bankruptcy and toxic positivity
>>741205270True, but most studios would be celebrating queer women in the workplace, or perhaps praising their "child free forever!" queeeeens who have scorecards for how many babies they've aborted and a prize for first place. This studio was apparently trying to find a way to support working parents. Plus the women pictured look normal. I don't see that as FAFO-tier.
>>741206294>develop games no one wants using microsoft moneyWhy did Microsoft greenlight these games? They DO share part of the blame, at least a little.

>>741172450Who are these woman simulators made for? Women are already mental and most men aren't interested in being women.Is this a trannie training sim?
>>741191660I'm honestly surprised they ever thought a sequel was a good idea in the first place. It seemed such an obvious one-off premise. But the AAA industry sure love their IPs, which is why we're getting another one of those plague-rat games (Plague Tail?) but with Arkham combat this time that is 100% going to flop
>>741172450Good riddance to TEN FUCKING YEARS of this Senua shit. The only struggle with psychosis this studio should have dealt with is the one their schizo executives have.
>>741204153At this point, the players have grown up and just want to see the industry burn for what they've done. It's too late to come crawling back.
>>741192112>THEY'RE ALL GREAT GAMES.No, they're not. Iron Brigade side, DF found a pattern and refuse to put it down. Their games are fun for the first bit, but as soon as you reach the second mission/area/town it's pure repetition from that point on. I couldn't bring myself to play the Costume Quest DLC, because it was the exact same thing I had already done like 3 times in the base game. Meanwhile, Psychonauts had unique challenges and varied environments for every single brain you entered
>>741176673"the nagoshi"
Picrel is relevant, but I don't know whether /v/ already made fun of this game or not.
>>741189498>thank you for 5000 followers>relatively small (about 85 people)this reads like an ironic trollpost, something a two person indie game would post. If 5000 people bought the game they'd have enough money to pay 2 people for 2 years
>>741195285>Had to do crunch just for a closed vertical slice for publisherGoddamn
I thought the very fact that there was a second game was already in bad taste.A third one is just exploitative suffering/torture porn.
>>741196197They won a bunch of awards like BAFTA for Hellblade. There's a sense of industry prestige attached to it, hence they didn't bother to go beyond that framework. Guess that shield doesn't work anymore now that the new management doesn't give an iota of fuck about those things.
>>741208569they want to quietly cancel the game but they don't know how to do it without causing outrage on groomsky would be my guess
>>741208348doesn't look that bad, just missing a hook to get people interested
>>741172450oh no not the walking simulator
>>741174828Why is this game about a nordic white woman considered woke?Also what happened to her lips >>741196652Did you get warned for that
>>741208002All these years of twitter-esque, goodwill-eroding, spiteful marketing have molded the audience to be just as spiteful as the marketers themselves. Now a sizable number of people on the internet have stopped giving a shit about games much; the idea of game studios shutting down is becoming an entertainment in and of itself. Dunno how to come back from that honestly.
>>741172450>>741174828I have no interest in these games but I have to admit they look impressive graphically.
>>741209172That's because they're movies
>>741207419That's terrible news.I was hoping they were gone forever.
>>741172450Honestly does anyone care about Ninja Theory? the whole Senua game series is kind of what i associate with all of my fatigue of modern games in general. High cinematic production values but boring gameplay.I want singleplayer games just not these ones. I'm not really asking for every game to be Dark Souls either because that's another annoyance with the available options in modern development but there's no middle ground anymore of where you can just get something good that doesn't fall into a very specfic mold of it's a movie or it's a boss round action adventure game designed like dark souls.
>>741172450Wasn't that the very slow and uninspired game where the main feature was that a bunch of voices whispered "pee pee poo poo" in your ear? Geeeee I wonder what happened....
>>741176673>What is this business strategy called?its called they have no idea wtf they are idea pajeet special
>>741172450I literally have no idea who plays these Hellblade games. I can't believe they made enough money that Tameme's studio was able to make THREE of them somehow.
>>741209904Tameme doesn't work at Ninja Theory anymore I don't think
>>741172450microsoft bought all these studios just to shut them down lmaogod the management at these bumbling companies are retarded
>>741190180Games like this are made purely as performative acts of activism. They're doing it to signal their in-group loyalty to a cause. Which in this case is specifically woke/SJW garbage. It doesn't matter if the game flops and only sells 2-3 copies. They can go and say "Yep, I'm one of The Good Guys! See, I made this! That means I'm a Good Ally!"
>>741209172Ninja Theory has state-of-the-art motion capture technology. It was even argued they were safe from being closed because Microsoft would at least keep using them for that in other games if nothing else.
>>741210352>Ninja Theory has state-of-the-art motion capture technologyyou dont need a studio to use equipment
>>741172450Is she a big floating head like Andross?

>>741208348>serene game without much challengeBut why? People already dislike movie games and walking simulators. I don't see why anyone would pay 15€ for a game where you just glide around without a care. Also the whole "help Mesoke rebuild her inner palace" makes it sound pretentious

>>741172450What went so wrong UKsisters?
>>741210952Not entirely impossible, Toys for Bob managed to buy themselves out from Activision and keep working directly with Microsoft on the new Spyro as an independent studio.
>>741195285That jew, knowing he's getting kicked, will sabotage the studio before leaving. He'll blame Sony not giving then more money for celebrity cameos and ND will be sold off as-is to whoever cares about the IPs and with a skeleton crew who either forces the new owner to keep Drunkleman(jews protect their own) and-or can't produce anything because they got used to having 25 buttbuddies cleaning up after them for nearly 2 decades.

Imagine spending 5-7 years making a barely playable alpha with half finished models, missing map textures, whole ass game mechanics unfunctional, and being blatantly NOTHING like all your promotional material acted like it was(even in that lengthly highlight interview in GameInformer they claimed it was like a more brootal Banjo and Kazooie) then having the balls to cry that an EA executive bullied you into releasing something at a deadline that you pushed back for years after promising a 3 year release for a fucking Heavy Metal RTS masquerading as a brootal platformer adventure game.

>>741196527Consumer habits have changed. People don't consume slop to the same degree anymore. It's not just video games; the same is true for movies and TV/streaming. Hell, most of tech is struggling. Of course that means a lot of people will get fired, especially from adult-daycare-level jobs and those that are making entertainment products that don't sell. It's just the market correcting itself rather than a side effect of AI
the game looked pretty bad, I never played it
>>741193784What's funny is a lot of those same people on R***it are now blaming Xbox for not having tighter control on Double Fine and Ninja Theory. Which is true but it always boils down to "Corpo bad!" and always downplays the culpability of the devs.
>>741204153Fun games that appeal to games, rather than designed-by-committee products that appeal to investors and marketing
>>741195190when the cancer spreads this far, it's terminal
>>741178815The fact they've managed to stick around for 25 years is impressive. Are Stacking and Iron Brigade any good btw? What about the newer lighthouse game?
>>741172450I feel like Hellblade is on par with Horizon for being the most nothingburger franchise that was being pushed on me as being a big deal.
>>741191609It could have been based if they did it right which they did not.
>>741211973I think so many of these companies take advantage of the fact that when they are acquired by a big corpo that they suddenly slow down their development time as much as possible to draw things out. They don't need to get a game out the door because the big corpo will continue to pay their costs to stay open.
>>741195190not a surprise all their games suck
>>741208798Having to cancel a game you greenlit in the first place is never a good look, unless you're willing to throw the developer under the bus. I think Sony values ND too highly because of TLoU to do that
>>741205075BASED enlightened fence sitting genius. Give us more hot takes about your cool indifference.
>>741212195Last year MS shut down a good chunk of studios, what made them think it was safe to take things easy?
>>741172450Why are they obsessed with this dumb flop of a character? The first game had modest success because it was a novel idea but they just kept going instead of making something new.
They are basically firing the entire XBOX team. It's so fucking over for this console.
Huh, it's like the people who hate beauty and love ugliness are the freaks and normal people don't want any of that shit. Crazy how they were given control of an entire industry.
>>741178815sayonara, senõr shitface
The first one is legitimately one of the worst video games in modern history. The basic gameplay mechanics are tedius, no polish, combat is a joke, the puzzles are barely worth thinking about. I can't believe this studio kept getting money for this shit. No one even played it. I refuse to believe it sold even 500k copies. Goddamn money laundering trash.
>>741191565proud?
>>741212123no one knows because literally no one has played a Double Fine game since Psychonauts which was massively overrated due to Eric Wolpaw's writing style which was popular at the time
>>741212297"Those studios were cut, but mine wasn't so we are safe."
>>741205075Funny how you only see this "both sides are bad" shit when leftshits are the ones being criticized.
>>741206969>The two companies agreed in Q2 2014 for a $5 million budget to create a multiplayer-only version of Phantom Dust that would fit well into the growing eSports community>Shortly after starting development, Microsoft asked Darkside to include a single-player campaign alongside the multiplayer element, but did not grant any additional funds or time.>Over the next several months, Microsoft would continue to add more requests for the game and to help with the planned tie-in mobile titleIt's really hard to overstate how much damage the success of Fortnite did to the crusty old hymie minds of publisher suits. They're gonna be chasing that dragon for another twenty years, unsuccessfully.
>>741172450>announce a game with a trailer>axe their entire studio a week laterSurely they know how bad the optics are behind this?
>>741211289It came out in 2020
>>741212173I compare it to as if Red Faction was some hallmark of physics, or the sheer level of hype Crysis used to carry way back when. The different is Hellblade is just Crysis without any notable ounce of fun or wit to it. Its a toothless tech demo that exists to fellate some studio heads ego for getting to rub shoulders with even a tiny part of hollywood. If Crysis were made today, it would be a polarizing movie qte game about how aliens GOOD human BAD, destroy planet, MC actually half alien so know feelings, and probably all the events happened in their head as they lay dying in a ditch in Mexico during a fake USA vs Mexico(modern era) conflict in 20XX
>>741196527AI is the last straw to break the camel's back, keyword being last. The biggest issue is ballooning budgets due workforce because the majority of US studios are in areas with the highest cost of living. Which in turn means that the game needs to be bigger to recoup that budget. Which means a longer dev cycle. Which means more payroll without return. Added into this is needing to reach as large an audience as possible which leads to a reliance on consultants that market test a game meant to appeal to everyone into a game that appeals no one.
>>741178030it memes no one is safe.
>>741190440This is looking to be twice in a row that ND goes an entire console generation without releasing anything, only to release something that underperfoms and is widely disliked. If that happens, either "someone" is getting the boot or the entire studio is getting the axe.
Why is Microsoft obsessed with maintaining a console anyway? It's a sucker's game and you need insane margins to offset taking a loss on every console sold in the first place.They have so many good studios they should just become third party and sell games alone much like Sega did when they got the fuck out.
>>741211973To be fair, Microsoft allowed Halo to go from their flagship IP to complete garbage. I feel like it's fair to blame them on top of blaming the devs
>>741212960same reason they got into the console business: data mining
>>741212960I think what we see going on will ultimately lead to the death of Xbox as a console. Gears being turned into a "Xbox" exclusive is more to set that game up for failure because even with possible PS5 sales there is no way that game is going to make its budget back.
>>74120552150 and below you mean, it's quite literally the ceiling for being considered small in business terms. They're trying (and failing) to set small business expectations when they're far bigger than that.
Is this game worth buying?
>>741212724pre-concordian
>>741213339
huh. screeching woman game is canceled? shocking
>>741212731>. If Crysis were made today,it wouldn't because exclusives don't exists anymore
>>741212960they have money to burn, why not try to control games. For a while, games were the biggest growth market in media and the biggest entertainment sector overall. There is not just monetary value, but marketing, indoctrination and such.Even Bill Gates knew games on PC helped with their vendor lock in. Young people didn't care for Windows because of Word or Excel

>>741213339I think I got it free in a bundle and I liked it but that was back before I was burnt out on girl boss. She treats him like shit throughout the game, if I recall correctly. Not sure how it holds up but it was fun at the time. Nothing special though.
>>741214242The amount of Studio closures in the past few years means that there isn't enough jobs for all them, especially with downsizing seemingly being the new hot topic.

>>741212960It made sense at one point, when they were trying to kill off PC gaming so they could take a 30% of every game sold. I mean, they literally paid developers to keep their games off PC. But then Steam came along and proved how stupid they were with leaving money on the table, and somehow Xbox didn't think to shift gear because, I guess, they were making enough money at that time to be able to keep going
>>741214242Any studio dumb enough to hire someone like that deserves to fail. Good studios won't give them the time of day
>>741216839whatever you say nigger lol
>>741214740They either try to find a good excuse to shut down the game anyway, or, yes, they'll invest more into it to see it finished. After all, Sony spend half a billion on Concord
>>741196691And no one will do anything about it
>>741216874>So what games did you work on at your previous studio?>[Game that took 4 years and $100m to make and sold around 2m copies], [game that took 6 years and $150m to make and sold around 1m copies]>Sorry, I don't think you'd be a good fit for us
>>741217147im glad you have insider info about their hiring processes that explains how they keep getting work
>>741174828OOGA CHAKA OOGA OOGA OOGA CHAKA
>>741217207They keep getting work because most studios are already infected. Is that really so hard to believe?
>>741172450Ninja Theory's games were never good, how they lasted this long is beyond me.
>>741217147blaming a single person for a whole game seems retardedbut them its also saying all the succes of the game its for a single person
>>741181256As far as damage goes, this is the most harmless of it all. I have never ever ever heard of someone playing those games.People often say Hellblade is Microsoft's Horizon equivalent, but that couldn't be further from the truth. People have actually played Horizon Zero Dawn, but not a single soul has played Senua's game. We all know it exists because it shows its face on every Xbox presentation, but that's the entire extend of our knowledge of it.
I really liked these games, very atmospheric, cool puzzles, lots of blast having potentialBut they were just too spooky/scary sometimes :(
>>741181174>>741183148>>741183401Media Molecule has value besides making games. They are absolute tech wizards. Have you actually played Dreams? It's fucking sorcery.The problem with Dreams is that it wasn't ambitious enough. it shouldn't have been sold as a game, that was what killed it. Dreams should have been baked into the PS4/5's OS and then used to show community made games to players every time that they logged into the console.
Tameem Abandonwarelades LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>741172450Based MS closing all the tranny studios (all of them)
>>741217414Fair, I'm sure there are individual programmers, artists, whatever, at these studios that actually do a good job. I don't think they're going to be especially affected by this. I was thinking more in terms of leadership positions
The only thing I knew of HellBlade was this trailer for the sequel, and then I wondered:"This movie game got enough sales to warrant a sequel?"https://youtu.be/4FuBsVq8Xek?si=hD_iIeaTmgnxiIu-I can see Netflix picking it up for a series or something
>>741214290Is Heavenly Sword bad?
>>741172450They blew it all on stupid movie game shit. Rest in piss Ninja Theory.
>>741218308I mean... Andy Serkis is in it.The story is shit, girl boss stuff, lesbians
>>741188334Mora like Valve wins by doing nothing.Nintendo wins by doing exactly what they were doing for the past forty years: games with reasonable budgets and development time for their fanbase.
>>741187964>if so why$150
>>741212297Once you lay back, you never come back. Around guys in slacks, never relax
>>741176479>whites have serious mental health crisisno shit, Sherlock. Just look what we have to endure day by day.
>>741190416I remember them wanting to cancel Crackdown 3, but they cancelled so many games during that period that they decided to release what they had after almost a decade.And it was awful.
there was a second one?
>>741172450lmao get fucked
>>741212548That's because you assume people criticizing cringe left shit can't be the both sides bad people. Or is there no criticism of the left on 4chan
>>741206398Whi h forza devs. And obsidian is consistently releasing shit too, that's why they keep out of these cuts
How's picrel?
>>741206653Literally everyone kept insisting devs will make 10/10 masterpieces if only publishers fucked off. Unironically, xbox listened to the fans, and the fans were fucking wrong
>>741183309>The jeet CEO should had been a red flag.The current one? She´s the definition of a red flag.
>>741206775Right? How am I supposed to get work done with this boner? Somebody has to cover up the m'lady in the middle
>>741207054Bet you wouldn't say that to their face ya lil shit
>>741221728Would be funny if Sony contracted them to do a sequel to this.
>>741204153Good games, decent performances, interesting ideas, stories who aren't summarized to "women good, men bad".
>>741207419Tim is like a cockroach, you can bet once this crash is over they will be just double fine
>>741177812HOLY KEK
>>741191565The fight´s not over yet, newfriend.
>>741221728It has some interesting cutscenes, if nothing else: https://youtu.be/yXphFnqhYoo
>>741172450I never bother playing the second game anyways
>>741222304Red light mentioned!
>>7412099046.5k peak for 1st, 4k peak for 2ndSo, nobody
>>741210580Or fbc firebreak
>>741211570Everything is just a proxy in india vs pakistan
>>741208348>gamers loved it>77 copies soldThis guy doesn't have nearly enough data to back up his claim
>>741176479>Whites have a serious mental health crisis in the suburbsno shit nigger they worship a dead jew for a start
>>741222126they already do, its called God of War Laufaey
>>741192005Yeah, and sold more or less as poorly as marathon or even worse, I don't even understand who the hell greenlighted this third one.
>>741177812genuinely hilarious
>>741172450Based, that shit studio genuinely did not make a single good or unique game even before they got bought out.
>>741205075Only one side has control of the games being made in the west right now
>>741205075
>>741213339It's written by Alex Garland, so it's obnoxious as fuck
>>741223517>no Anna TorvI will now not buy your game
>>741176673>show trailer>asha sees trailer>wtf is this garbage foid slop shut it down
>>741177812it's a famous jeet cure for home sickness
>>741172450thank fuck, I'm so tired of seeing this ugly ass game
>>741172450Wow, what a blow...Really, did anyone give much of a fuck about the Senua games at this point? The first one got some buzz and had interesting aspects to it, but after the wet fart of 2, who gives a shit?
>>741172450GoodThey wanted me to pay for a BPD gamer girl game? It's called real life being raised by a BPD single mother. And my father isn't some saint either.I'll be over here dating Leah in Stardew.
>>741198018underrated
>>741172450I literally don't know what this series is even about or how it plays aside from the same schizo woman screaming every time and even then that's only because of trailers.
>>741172450"game"
>>741205075horseshoe theory is real but brownoids are eager to post decade old memes at you
>>741172450How did ninja theory last so long making nothing but mediocre or bad games?
Save her /v/, she's cute
>>741211503So, that obese woman got fired from this game, then got hired by Horizon Hunters for Ozempic?
>>741212580Optics don't matter with this, desu. Especially if it's just the first of these closures that's coming.
>>741230820No.
>>741212960In the XBone era, Microsoft's business plan was for the XBone to replace all other devices in ever consumer household's living room. (This is also why it was named 'Xbox One' - it would Input #1 on your TV, I shit you not.) Go back and watch the E3 when the console got revealed, it was all about TV & sports with games as an afterthought.Another galaxy brained move, especially considering the rape of cable TV by the internet was only beginning.
>>741196527it's not schizo if its trueAI bubble bursting is going to be nasty, and it's going to make 2008 look like nothingbut dont worry, daddy trump has already said he'll bail out US AI companies.
>>741174632Bazinga
>>741230820>schizo caked in shitnah
>>741172649Right? It makes no fucking sense why they kept making this. The first one kinda bombed. The second one bombed massively. There was absolutely no audience or demand for this to continue. Who the fuck decided to keep forging ahead with such a failure?
>>741231684I think the first one did alright, the development of the second one must've been a real mess. I don't know why they tried to go for a third
>>741231684>I'm not going to let a failure or two stand in the way of my visionWhich would be admirable, if it was said by an actual artist making real art
>>741172450The fags at gcj aren't taking this and the other closures well. Get fucked, you loon troon parasites
>>741172450When they showed that shitty game being made for the 3rd time, I was actually shocked.Who bought the second one, it was even considered bad by (((reviewers))).
>>741220615And suing the competition
>Bunch of studios doing fuck all for years if not decadesHow the fuck this even happen?
>>741234928If you told me it was all some kind of scam to dodge taxes by calling these costs 'research and development,' I'd believe you.
>release 1 game in 7 years>shutdown>What? Why would /ourgirl/ do this?
>>741234928For the same reason the people who made those "my day at [company]" videos were allowed to keep their job
>>741221728Definition of 6/10 passable but entirely forgettable action game.
>>741192112I played several of them too, Costume Quest and Stacking were pretty fun. But I have no idea how they managed stay afloat this long with an office in San Francisco of all places with that kind of output.
>>741172450heh
Honest question, how many gaming companies have gone down in 2020-2026 by now?
>>741200569I dont imagine so but its still retarded to push your heart minutes after being told that you should not. In my case it was >Confort her>"Not like that! WTF!?"
>>741237282Not enough
>>741174632I can't believe this isn't parody
>>741174750Because only people associated with these studios or friends of people who work there ever speak highly of them.
>>741177812White girl swimming in the Ganges River
>>741172450should have made a game with big-titted bitches like Heavenly Sword
>>741231684I wouldn't be shocked if it was Tameem jumping entirely aboard the woke trend 10 years too late.The guy has always been behind the curve. He made DmC Dante after Shadow the Hedgehog was in the process of being universally mocked for being this blend of pretend-edge.
>>741231580Erm, it's woad body paint, chud. (Which is largely considered a pop cultural myth nowadays since there's no contemporary records of the practice and woad is abrasive and harmful to human skin).
>>741234928Kek its quite unbeliavable that a corporation that should supposedly care about making money leaves studios unsupervised and just gives them infinite money, then they spend it all to make very few activism games during several years which only appeals to and captures the attention of a tiny activist audience that generated sales won't cover the the costs.
>>741239791Tameem is a chud, anon. He was basedposting back in 2020 if I'm remembering the tweets correctly.
>>741237282>feminists then>trannies nowIt always makes me laugh that the fight to make games shittier was taken over from women by men pretending to be women. Get fucked femoids.
