They signed their death sentence when they accepted to be bought by the lizard Zuckerberg.
What a freaking shame, almost every time a developer leaves Sony they end up in shambles.

purple101633d ago

we have heard nothing from Quantic Dream for ages, - supposed to be making multiplat starters game.

solideagle633d ago

I think they are making star wars game. They should be fine because of Star Wars name alone if their quality is closer to their last games...

purple101633d ago

sorry meant starwars yeh, but autocomplete*

Neonridr633d ago

lol, a bit dramatic there. Meta saw interest in them, hence the buyout. They made some amazing VR experiences. They were never a Sony developer or studio. They made a few games for Sony systems, but also for Nintendo as well.

solideagle633d ago

If they made ORDER 1886 £30/25 then it would have sold a lot or made it 10-12 hours long...That game had potential. its one of those decisions which will haunt them for the rest of life or maybe Sony did the pricing hence killing the sales...

porkChop632d ago

The price really was the biggest issue. The Order wasn't necessarily a "bad" game. It was far too linear, as in it was literally corridors and hallways for the most part. There was also zero replayability. But all of that would have been fine if it was priced to match. I remember the game was $80 in Canada and I felt very much ripped off after having been hyped for the game.

Even if there was potential for a sequel I can understand why Sony passed on it. With a launch that suffered backlash as bad as that, it's really tough to justify spending even more resources to build a bigger, better sequel.

coolbeans632d ago

That probably kept them afloat for longer, if anything. They were interested in pursuing VR games and Meta seemingly gave them more runway.

Sad.
Can they somehow release the PC version/source code of 1886?
They showed it off in SIGGRAPH. It's fully playable. Just needs a release.

ziggyzinfirion632d ago

Why would Ready at Dawn release a PC port/source code from an IP owned by Sony PlayStation?

RaidenBlack632d ago

Of course, it's not going to happen ... but a near complete build of a game, which was even showed off publicly at a conference, will never be made available .... and that bums me out.

neomahi632d ago

Sony would have the code in their archives, not Meta. Ready at Dawn, thankfully, doesn't own the IP or itd be gone with the shutdown so, there's still hope for you yet, just not from Meta because as was mentioned, it's Sonys IP

RaidenBlack632d ago

Sony has the PS4 code in their archives .... Ready at Dawn should have both the PC & PS4 code in their own repository. Meta doesn't even come in this discussion.

P_Bomb633d ago

It just keeps happening! Feel bad. I’ve beaten a few of their games.

Relientk77633d ago

Wow guess a sequel to The Order: 1886 is even more unlikely at this point

neomahi632d ago

You do know Sony owns the IP right? How do y'all know what The Order 1886 is but don't know anything about it? Y'all are s****d or something. READY AT DAWN DOESNT OWN THE IP, NEITHER DOES META, ITS OWNED BY PLAYSTATION, it's their intellectual property. Read a book on IP and gaming

DarXyde632d ago

Maybe drop the caps lock and chill out, buddy. This a bizarre reaction and needlessly hostile.

You can inform people that don't know this stuff without being so dramatic, yeah?

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio3d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing3d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster923d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit3d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing3d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster923d ago

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
