Bungie deemed Factions a POS, Sony significantly downscales team and tells them to reassess (TCHBFR!!!!!!!) UP: When will Firepower come out of hiding?

So basically it's delayed and will turn out even better.

Not sure where you're getting that idea from

 

The reality is Bungie probably didnt say it wasn't good. They probably said it's not the type of game that is gonna survive and make the type of money Sony wants in the crowded GaaS with fickle ADD gamers. GaaS is a sink or swim space where only a handful of games manage to swim, and not necessarily cause they're good games.

 

all this says to me is that sony is trend chasing and looking to capitalize on loot boxes, season passes, etc...things that generally make games worse.

Looks like Sony's tightening up across many of their studios like the rest of the industry.  Presumably the game this person is talking about was the TLOU Factions game, and due to a big pivot in direction has caused Playstation Visual Arts to go through downsizing and restructuring

 

 

 

The sucks.  PSVA basically has their hands in everything Playstation and contributes a lot to making their games so great visually..  Hell they're even helping with Death Stranding 2.
