Anyone who may have an audio problem with their gaming headphones should read this and please speak up. Lets voice all our issues so we can have the best gaming experience before the game is released possible.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst
Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.
S2Killinit
live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating
Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.
Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.
This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality
..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....
...Really???
PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.
Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.
He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
Former Naughty Dog artist Gabriel Betancourt explains why the "sweet spot" for game teams is under 200 people and how AAA "factories" kill creativity.
There’s definitely some truth to this. When teams get too large, coordination starts to outweigh creativity—layers of approval, risk aversion, and tight deadlines can turn bold ideas into “safe” ones. Keeping a team under ~200 people sounds ideal for maintaining clear communication and a shared vision. That said, massive AAA projects also come with huge technical demands and expectations, so scaling up isn’t always avoidable. The real challenge is figuring out how to keep that small-team creativity alive inside big studio structures.
More than that, it's logistically untenable. Inevitably, when teams get too large, how do you keep tabs on accountability? I suspect this massive team size is a consequence of the perfectionism streak Naughty Dog has.
I wish we could have so many people working on something and it turns out great because I'm all for collaboration in spirit - the problem is too many people as part of the larger team and smaller units. Suppose for example that you have too many people in the art department; you will very often come up against fiercely competing visions for how things should look. That competitive vision will cause friction between team members, team doesn't work as a unit, the back and forth can further delay parts that the other departments are waiting for, etc etc.
A 200-person team says, to me, that we need to scale back game development. Even if it means we go back to PS2 era costs and scale, why not? Those games are still great fun, the budgets were in check, and you could literally break the 200-man team into like 10 20-man teams working on different projects.
"I would like Sony/Guerrilla Games and whoever reads this aware that if you use gaming headphones for audio you won’t receive any sound. I can only speak for the lack of sound when it comes to the TRITTON headset I am using and I’m not sure of other gaming headphones have this problem, but I receive audio perfectly from all my other games, and killzone 3 sounds fine through my TV."
I had a 3 hour Killzone 3 gaming session today with my AXPROS. It works fine. Its a problem with YOUR headset bro. Maybe you need to make an adjustment to your sound settings. About a year ago, I had to change my settings to 44MHZ(something like this) to hear music while I'm on the Internet Browser. Maybe this is the problem.
Or maybe its your receiver. On mine, I don't press the Dolby button.
Or he doesn't know how to work his headset.
I don't see a big deal anyways, its a freaking beta.
"I can only speak for the lack of sound when it comes to the TRITTON headset I am using and I’m not sure of other gaming headphones have this problem, but I receive audio perfectly from all my other games, and killzone 3 sounds fine through my TV."
He hasn't tried it with any other headset and says "that if you use gaming headphones for audio you won’t receive any sound". He should probably test out others before generalizing the problem, when it might just be his headset.
Off topic, anyone else prefer surround sound over a headset? :P
Guerrilla won't be patching the beta any further.
@deadreckoning, Neko, rdgneoz and to all other commenters. I know how to work my headphones, its not my unit, but I'll try your suggestion. If you read the entire news blip, the sound is fantastic with all my other games. The audio works fine on the music I have stored on my PS3 too. The problem isn't generalized its specific.
If any other gamer has a similar problem with a different type of gaming headphones they use, they need to comment to inform Sony and Guerrilla about the issue so they can patch the game before release.
I have surround sound, but prefer the sound out of my TRITTON surround sound headphones. How does one know, who I suppose is not in the industry what Sony, Microsoft, Guerrilla, or any developer for that matter will or won't do?
The whole point is to care now so there won't be any major issues in the final release of the game. That is why they have betas, to run tests on various issues.
I see one person in the beta, is everyone here who commented in or just have something stupid to say?
