I wish Square Enix purchase them to make a sequel and to have it become an established franchise but I understand that they're a little more conservative with their money nowadays.

Unfortunately, a LOT of people didn't find out or try it until it was at extremely reduced prices or free. Then, they tried the online PC only Triad thing...which just seemed like an aimless Sleeping Dogs. I hate it, because SD was a damn good game and deserved better. Hope it gets passed along for a sequel.

Except this company was never going to develop new intellectual properties with the contracts that they were being handed out , for instance Microsoft handed them the contract to assist in Master Chief collection united front was never going to make Halo 5, Halo 5 was already in production at 343.

Here's another example bluepoint games was handed the contract to port in the entire Uncharted series as well as Gravity Rush they did four of those games literally over the course of maybe 6 months they were never going to make a Gravity Rush 2, they were never going to make Uncharted 5 their job is to transfer games not create them so when you're angry at a port existing it has nothing to do with a brand new game because the people that are making that pork or not making your brand new game they never were that was never their job when you educate yourself on what the practices you'll understand it's actually irrelevant to brand new game design.

Those ports never existing was never going to speed up the development of any other game, consider the examples I just gave you all of games that we're still having sequels in development...not by the team that ported the original.

Bluepoint games made Uncharted 4? Bluepoint games is making the last of us to? Did united front make Halo 5? Do you not understand just tell them that actually sounds? Those teams are there to Port games they're not actually there to make new content the two are absolutely irrelevant to each other.

This is not an either-or and only the slowest, most uneducated gamer seems to think so despite having no evidence to really show anything to prove such a theory.

I'm more than positive Gravity Rush and the Uncharted collection getting ported to PlayStation 4 had absolutely nothing to do with Horizon zero Dawn existence if anything I'd argue that those ports help the development of new intellectual properties continue.

consider Sony bend has been working on days gone for a long number of years, clearly the funds that Sony gets in from ports are assisting in such games even existing in the first place.

Games are not free not having ports doesn't mean more time and more money to develop new games that actually just means less money to do exactly that lol

A port could cost literally a little under 1 million to produce yet a brand new game could cost well over 50 million to develop I'm not even adding in marketing.

The math doesn't add up and simple facts don't support such stupid logic

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
