Which studio had the worst fall from grace?
naughty dog was never good to begin with.
>>747589778Nintendo
Sucker Punch improved, Sly was never good.
>>747589778At least Naughty dogs and Sucker Punch can still make their own games.Insomniac is pretty much forever stuck in the Marvel mines forever, with maybe a ratchet game every decades if they get lucky
>>747589778None of them were ever good
>>747590005Ghost of Tsushima was a downgrade from Infamous.
>>747589778I really hope Sony approves the $600 million Druckman is asking for. It will make Intergalactic's inevitable flop that much funnier.
>>747589778I don't care about amerislop studios
>>747590069I'm also trans btw.
Valve
>>747590224Yeah we know
>>747589920Crash and Jak are classics.
Naughty Dog like this isnt even comparable, the first Spider-man was ok and the second was worse in story and side content but still and Ghost of Tsushima was alright. ND just has TLOU2 and then Intergalactic space lesbian
>>747590312Can't fuck up if you just give up making games.
>>747589778Probably Naughty Dog.... being the number one hot studio creating cartoonish worlds that were being compared favorably to Disney and Pixar at the time, to the point that Sony wanted them to cram in popular features from other genres so that their games could become ultra mainstream... to Uncharted, which managed to fill the niche of Indiana Jones-likes that people didn't even know was missing, to The Last of Us, the very cinematic zombie apocalypse copycat that somehow ended up replacing The Walking Dead in a lot of people's minds.All undone by Druckmann.
>>747590417And before TLOU 2 Naughty Dog made mediocre platformers and movie games. To be fair the other two aren't that better either.
>>747590417I hope you didn't preorder Wolverine
Blizzard
>>747589778Naughty dog by farFrom genre and console defining games to soulless movie games
>>747590158What's the source for that number?
>>747589778Nighty dog quite literally never made a good game in their life and only ever shat out cinematic garbage.>b-buh crashA pick a lander that focuses on cinematic experience over gameplay.
>>747590665Genre and console defining for normies. They are never, ever considered a relevant company for enthusiasts, at all. In that regard their most relevant stuff is decades old
>>747589778ND and it's not even close. TLOU1 pigeonholed PS exclusives into "narrative experiences". TLOU2, Factions cancellation and live action destroyed all good will. Intergalactic is a multi hundred million dollar bomb made for nobody.
>>747590861lmao retard
>>747590729I bet you couldn't even beat Jak 2, kid.
>>747589778Naughty Dog was Playstation's crown jewel studio for a long time so probably them. They're all pretty overrated though
>>747590729Name a good game from:1996 (Crash Bandicoot)2001 (Jak & Daxter)2007 (Uncharted)2013 (The Last of Us)
>>747589778Insomniac easilyTsushima was just straight up goodLast of Trans 2 the pure gameplay is kinda fun, playing the roguelite is even goodInsomniac made: Spiderman 1 which was just a straight copy of Arkham games, SNIGGERman 2 which was just absolute fucking dogshit and have culminated their decline with WokeverineThis is without even accounting for fucking dogshit like Sunset Overdrive
>>747590897Lmao consoleonly brown person with black irises Dude uncharted!!!! Dude the last of us!!!! Lmao
>InsomniacWere good to great for decades on end and have only slipped since Sony have turned them into a Marvel factory. They have put out like 40+ games and less than 5 are mediocre-to-bad. Hopefully after Venom they can either do another Ratchet or make a new IP.>Naughty DogGradual Decline. Peaked with Crash by pushing the boundaries of industry trends, Jak is a series that got caught up in changing industry trends, Uncharted & Last of Us defined industry trends (mostly for the worse). I just know Intergalactic is going to be some sort of bullshit.>Sucker PunchBiggest drop but are in the best state right now. Everything from Rocket Robot On Wheels through inFamous 2 is REALLY great. Second Son & Tsushima are just alright with some good ideas, and Yotei is a step down from Tsushima.
>>747591129>Dude uncharted!!!! Dude the last of us!!!!Those ARE the downfall retard, how much of a zoomer are you?Or are you just mentally deficient and you couldn't grasp the thread?Don't even bother replying anyways, already outed yourself as a dumb retard and will be hiding the post automatically, there's nothing to gain arguing with your dumb ass.
>>747589778Realism slop killed ND
>>747591206>They have put out like 40+ games and less than 5 are mediocre-to-bad>When half the Ratchet & Clank games themselves are horrid dogshitkek
>>747591129You can hate them and shit your pants all you want, but there's no denying how influential they were to the market. Sony literally rebuilt every AAA studio they had to follow Naughty Dog's lead.
>>747590485Thats even worse, producing nothing is worse than making a mid game
>>747590143Nah, Tsushima was great. But Sony forced them to make a cashgrab sequel with the lesbian gorilla
>>747589778SP, Sly cooper was the most creative trilogy of the 1st party on Ps2 and its a shame how by the book Ghost of sushi games are considering how inspired SC was.
>>747591410Nobody asked The question was who fell from grace. ND was never involved in development of actual "gamer" games post PS1 so they did not fall from grace, they never had any. The same is true for Insomniac as well. SP made one game with soul then nothing else relevant in historySo the answer, as I previously stated, is Blizzard. Who cares about consolebrown shit? This is /v/ not Roblox
>>747591206Insomniac definitely fumbled starting in 7th gen>most Future games were disappointments for Ratchet fans>Resistance chased FPS trends and has been completely forgotten>Overstrike and Sunset Overdrive were actual shit made to try experimenting with being a 3rd party dev
>>747589778All of them
>>747591790>SP made one game with soulI can't believe I found the world's only fan of Rocket Robot on Wheels.
>>747591510I can't see how anyone thinks it's more than a 7/10. It's the safest most by the numbers Ubisoft formula game they could have made.
>>747591790Trying way too hard.
>>747591510Except for combat, everything in that game sucked. Exploration, stealth, climbing, it was all just a shittier version of an already pretty shitty modern AssC. And the story was crap, except for that 1 plotline about your uncle but that was like 5% of the story
>>747591790>"gamer" gameUncharted and Infamous are gamer games, the term you're looking for is "bing bing wahoo". That's what they're not
>>747592565I liked the combat, as long as you didnt cheese it with stealth weapons, and the atmosphere/aestheticsI still prefer infamous1/2 but the first Ghost of sushi was a very good ride
I used to think insomniac and Sucker a Punch were the last great Sony studios.Unfortunately, everything went to shit after the first Spider-Man.Then Sucker a Punch was the last hope and Ghost of Tsushima was actually good (in current year!).But then they got infected and released Goy of YomKippur, and now they're dead too.
>>747593062>Ghost of Tsushima was actually good (in current year!).lol this board called it woke but now you like it
>>747592664Uncharted and infamous are normie slop games, bing bing wahoo is as wellIt's so funny that console onlys like you characterize video games as this ultimately simplistic experience in your head when they can be so much more. The other stuff is just above your level though so you think there's either uncharted or Nintendo. I'm not sure what people like you are involved in the hobby for
>>747593178Are you confusing Tsushima with Yotei?
>>747592565>Except for combatIt's hard to go back to this combat system after playing Rise of the Ronin.
>>747593261Yes nimrod tsushima was called woke, are you new here?
You had to be unironically gay to like their games.
>>747589921SPBP
>>747589778Santa MonicaThey went from the GoW trilogy and the PSP duology to some of the games with the worst cases of millenial writting.
Nintendo.
>>747591301I have no issue with realism in small doses but the fact that its been the standard since the 360/ps3 era is fucking annoying.
>>747593261Not him but I played the first Ghosts for a few hours. I saw some ugly lesbians who beat men in fights and quickly lost interest.
>>747589778oh no! not insomniac!
>>747589920I get you weren't born yet but Uncharted 2 was genuinely well received and 2009 goty contender because it was the first game to do the quip dialogue like that and it felt fresh at the time.
>>747589778Atlus or GGG.
>>747593379I’ve been here long before youCare to post an example
Imagine if Nintendo stopped making Mario and Zelda and all the franchises that made the company, and instead started shitting out nothing but Harry Potter sandbox games and third person stealth cover shooter slop inspired by whatever was popular on tv five years ago. The only franchises that survive are Metroid, which is now about Samus filing her taxes as a single mother in an alien world with no relation to the ones she explored in the past, and every once in a blue moon they make a Kirby game but it's written by the Illumination movie people. Oh and also Mario Kart gets to stay too I guess.That is the SVFFERING that Sonysisters go through.
>>747593397You had a sad childhood if you missed these.
>>747593589Isn’t that cunt a horrible person though?
>>747593641Sad.
>>747589778Funny how it can all be traced back to woke, right? Nah, it must be just a coincidence.
>>747593971So are most modern female characters.
>>747589778Name one Sony first-party studio that hasn't declined. All they do is produce is woke garbage these days.
>>747594117And now their gameplay has become so braindead and formulaic even shill reviewers are losing interest.
Is Snoy in total sunk cost fallacy mode right now?There's no way Cuckman's game makes it's budget back yet they refuse to reign him in
>>747589778Insomniac.Naughty Dog at least makes "good" game from a normalfag slop point of view and GoY was still a decent open world not-ac game.But Wolverine? They made a game so bad journos woke up.
>>747594221Japan Studio. Oh wait...
>>747594279Shill reviewers like PlayStation magazine gave wolverine a 10
>>747594310Druckmann is protected by his desert madness tribe.
>>747593719>Care to post an exampleIt has an old lady who kills dozens of men by herself The main character has a huge moral dilemma surrounding poisoning people but you kill countless people with surprise assassinations and shit in the game
>>747594359Irrelevant when even ShillUp himself is calling the game shit.
>>747594221Bottom 2 games are lesbians lying ass faggot
>>747594452I don't know who you are referring to. It's not irrelevant because shill reviewers are still giving the games 10, fucking retardWhen someone makes AND SUPPORTS a point you don't just get to say "irrelevant" I'm so tired of you brown zoomer fucking zombies man. Braindead trash
>can still be saved if they pivot this week>absolutely FUCKED>can still be saved if they pivot this weekNaughty Dog. I don't think they have a single important employee that isn't stuck up their own ass like Druckmann is.
>>747594538Who some literal who reviewer gave them a 10/10 to desperately bring up their metascore a few points.Meanwhile one of the biggest Sony shills on Youtube is calling out the game for being shit to millions of viewers. I hope it cost them millions of sales.
>>747589778Sucker Punch hasn't fallen at all, it's been making mid it's entire life and continues to do so. Naughty Dog is the worst though.
>>747594698How did he weasel his way into taking creative control of Naughty Dog away from Amy HennigLiterally just Jewish nepotism?
>>747593673I vividly remember Uncharted 2 coming out (never played the first) and thought it was extremely mid. Rented it for the weekend and returned it. It sucked. >2009 gotyLmao. Not even close to Arkham Asylum, Demon's Souls, or even MW2. Uncharted was one of those proto-slop games. Like Assassin's Creed. Totally soulless. The only redeeming quality, compared to modern Naughty Dog, is that they weren't work
>>747594914woke*
>>747594698>Gamers, we hear you loud and clear.>It's time for us to pivot to making something new:>Multiplayer live service games!
>>747595143the Last of Us online game would have been kino though
>>747594698>can still be saved if they pivot this weekNah, Insomniac are unironically fucked. If Wolverine fails then Sony's deal with Marvel could potentially fall through, and considering the only thing Insomniac would have left in that case is Ratchet & Clank then Sony will more than likely just shut them down entirely after Rift Apart massively underperformed. The studio is nothing now without Marvel IPs propping them up, and there's good chance that we've just witnessed them flush their access to them down the drain.
>>747595216At least the combat would have been very satisfying.Why did Bungie get it cancelled?
>>747595334probably because it was way behind schedule and would have been a total money blackhole like the rest of snoys projects
>>747595232Wolverine isn't going to fail.Spiderman 2 was shit and still sold many more copies than it deserved to, and Sony can just bundle it with the console, or fudge the numbers some other way.However, Wolverine will ruin them if they don't pull off something truly groundbreaking next time, because it's such a shit game people won't be tricked twice. And even then, it might not be enough.Like how DMC3 is a genre defining game, but sold like shit because DMC2 was fucking ass.
>>747595542An IGN 6/10 when games cost $80 is a death sentence, the game is fuckedThere's zero justification for anyone buying the game and so people will just choose to skip it
>>747595334I think we can all imagine it's because the game would have simply been far better than Marathon.Is Factions still available on TLOU PS4 remaster? Might want to get back into it.
>>747593248what games do you play big boy? whenever you question hipster faggots like this it always turns out they play utter garbage lol
>>747595542I don't think people are nearly as consoomery as you think they are People who make this mistake are unable to evaluate complex systemsWolverine is quite likely to actually fail. Even the character being sold isn't actually wolverine..wolverine isn't a mass market appeal character in the same vein as Batman or Spider-Man.
>>747595542>Like how DMC3 is a genre defining game, but sold like shit because DMC2 was fucking ass.In fairness, word of mouth got around so when they released DMC3 Special edition, It was the best selling game for the series at the time. So it's not all over
>>747589778naughtydog and its really not even close. the other 2 are terrible dont get me wrong, but ND right now is just irredeemable until management changes.
>>747591129now hold on>Lmao consoleonlyhahahahaha of course it's a butthurt pc faggot boomer. let me guess, map clicking games, dogshit shooters like half life and janky garbage RPG's from the 90's are the peak of gaming to you? LMAO
>>747596496I'm gonna stop you right there, it's an entire lifestyle thing that you really don't understand I just don't buy childrens toys....it's a socioeconomic status thing as well I'm quite sure. Why would I buy a child's toy? Anyway, video games are not that important to my life, but if I spend time playing one it's definitely going to be something more intellectually stimulating and difficult than your little superhero and ball and gun games lol
>>747589921Nintendo still makes at least one good game a year. Can’t say the same for sony, the only ps5 exclusive I like is astro bot.
>>747597062>pretending like his time is valuable>on /v/
From what grace?
Having 45 minutes of attention diverted away from Spiderman after having it already diverted playing as Mary Jane to play as a mute deaf negress spray painting and vandalizing nyc property was when I knew Insomniac had lost their collective minds
>>747597757>Nintendo still makes at least one good game a year.Nintendo fans will say this with a straight face and mean games like this.
>>747597878Being the kings of 3D platformers on the PS2.
>>747594000Notice the women in this picture are actually attractive.
>>747597994I wish we could see how the playtesters reacted to this.
>>747598101Really stretching the definition of attractive.
