Treyarch releases yet another patch for PS3. Does this latest "fix" really fix anything?
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.
Just a question are all you ps3 owners out there happy that you bought this game and now it dosen't work?I say you demand you're money back.And yes i'm a ps3 owner.
Maybe now people will actually stop buying into Activision and their garbage.
I'm not a CoD player, but I read all of these articles about the game being nearly unplayable on PS3. I feel bad for all of you CoD fans who spent your money on this game.
What will it take before you people finally stop supporting these terrible developers and publishers?
No, no and more no. It didn't fix anything...Are you guys surprised? I hate to say this, but its almost as if they were doing this on purpose. Why IS the ps3 having these problems? Maybe if this was 3 years ago when the ps3 was a baby. Plus, they already released W@W on ps3. So what gives?
Funny how:
1. A M$ rep said right before the game came out how Everyone knows it's gonna be better on 360
2. How M$ pays to steal things from ps3 gamers (Because if they were smart, they would just buy 1st party studios like Sony). Instead, they pay companies for exclusive content.
3. We are in the 4th year of the ps3, 3 COD's deep, and yet they STILL can't make a good ps3 version.
4. They keep releasing patches that make the game worse and worse.
5. How they "forgot" to put the zombie codes in half the Hardened Edition reserves on PS3 only (thats why there is a shortage)
6. This crap keeps happening and yet we all flock to it like flies to sh1t....myself included. Not that I am ashamed of it. I love COD. IN MY EYES, it's awesome (to each his own). But the B$ each of us PS3 gamers have to deal with just to play a game WE PAID FOR is just insane. It's ok this time, because this was my 5th and last COD.
Treyarch sucks big time...i knew they would make a poor game, World at War was bad on the PS3, i know some people might disagree but if you play the 360 version you will see how inferior it was. They can make good gameplay but when it comes to programming, the suck balls compared to the old Infinity Ward. Killzone 3 looks to be the shooter to play next year. COD fans on the PS3 should let go and sell the game, or if they are COD fans only then go get a 360 and play it, the PS3 version won't get better no matter how many patches they release.
my ps3 copy is working just fine! i even threw in MW2 to compare and checked it out on 360 no difference! so if you sold yours are don't like it and are going to sell it,get over it and move on quit crying and play something else.
