@outside "Why would they say those things if Kickstarter was Sony's idea"
The kickstarter wasn't Sony's idea, but they did promote it at E3 they did already plan to fund the game.
The only one ignoring facts is you. The video I posted they ask "can you specify how Sony is supporting this game?" To which adam responds with:
"As far as funding goes Sony is of course going to help fund this game and make sure it is th...
Very stupid move on 343i's behalf. Lan parties are what rose halo to greatness, why remove one of the key things about halo?
Sure the game will still be great, but still really sad to see.
Where are these lies you keep claiming? Your ignorance does not make actual events and quotes false, it just means you aren't informed. You do realize Sony greenlighting a project then asking for fans to give money to that project is footing the bill. (not the whole bill obviously) Again, I truly hope MS or Nontendo take one of the games they are gunding and ask fans to fund it through kickstarter, I would love to hear how it is such a great thing then. I personally think it is a bad prac...
@spotie "Isn't that redundant? If you're funding and promoting it, aren't you footing the bill?"
Yes, it was a typo, I meant "sony shouldn't be footing the bill to the fans." Didn't realize I had said that incorrectly until just now, had just gotten abead of myself when typing. It happens.
If the private funding is done privately, it is fine. When you have a publisher promoting a kickstarter to raise funds it is different completely. If you cannot see the difference that is just sad.
Again, if you want to have to complete a kickstarter every time a game comes out so that the risk is lower for the publisher, then I guess that is your right to feel that way. I personally don't want to have to be responsible for partially funding games for Sony, MS, Nintendo, ...
Umm, obviously Sony isn't taking the money. That would not only be illegal but also defeat the purpose. I don't think anyone thought Sony was taking the money.
I just don't think that Sony should be footing the bill for a game that they are funding and promoting. If it becomes a norm that to get a game we have to raise 2+ million in order to get the game. Not a future I am looking forward to.
@spotie how am I fueling propaganda against the game? I have no problem with the game, I just don't like the way it was achieved and would like to voice my concern so it does not become the norm. If you want to have to put up 2 or more million dollars for every game that comes to a console, then, I guess you feel free to do that. I on the other hand, don't want that to be the case.
It's hilarious how you people on here call everyone fanboys anytime they don't ...
@majie So people who comment on things based on facts and given information are the problem? Whule people like eon who base everything off of imaginary fantasies they conjure up based on nothing are what is right? Think you have things all wrong.
If the kickstarter is where the dev cost is coming from, why did yu say they need over 10 mil to develop the title?

Horizon wins every single battle in that maych-up for me. Personally, I think sea of thieve would be my second most anticipated, but even that is not close to horizon.
@eonjay "I am someone who requires evidence and if I am wrong I always make an attempt to acknowledge it."
Yet everthing I have posted, along with the quotes in this article all say that Sony are funding the game. Yet you claimed they weren't. Now you claim it is only marketing, despite not a single mention of marketing in any of the quotes. In fact, the quote from shuhei is pretty obviously refering to the games developement.
Yet you require pr...
@eon I said:
"There is no convincing needed, there are quotes from multiple people at sony that they are giving money to the project. They also said that they wanted to use ot to measure interest."
To which you said that adam boyes said they aren't funding the game. In case you are confused, giving money to the project is called funding. You now changing your story demanding it is for marketing (deapite no clear claims of this) does not change that it is...
I have not seen a single thing from adam saying he isn't giving any funding at all to this project, you just claiming it doesn't make it true.
How about this, Shuhei Sony's President, said they are funding it.

"We asked specifically if Sony would be helping to finance the game. "...
There is no convincing needed, there are quotes from multiple people at sony that they are giving money to the project. They also said that they wanted to use ot to measure interest. The question is why are you ignoring that? There is no crusade and nothing I have ever posted contradicts itself. If MS had went on stage with a project thwy are funding (no matter to what extent) and asked for their customers to kickstart it on top of that, I would be just as concerned. This is not some indie ga...
Your link is some randon guy making assumptions, he does not use a single source.
The article above has sources for each statement they make. Strange people seem to accept the on you posted despite that fact.
@eon where does that say Sony isn't funding the project at all? In fact, it would suggest the exact opposite.
Without gameplay I will not even make an opinion. That said I am optimistic about the game and can't wait to see more. As of now it is just a CGI trailer with big names behind it.
@deadpool you guys are so sad, you create stories based on absolutely nothing to paint the picture you want to be true. The reality is that Square was disappointed with the sales of the original and just a heads up, games that don't profit, don't generally get sequels...

So, what other PS system is it coming to then? If it is timed for a console, which console would that be? Because surely they would not delay a PS3 release to a point where PS3 is more irrelevant. Plus world of FF seems like an extremely minor game, where as FFVII remake will be a full fledged AAA game.
I don't see anywhere that world of FF is said to be a lifetime PS exclusive regardless. Crystal and square never said Tomb Raider is coming to PS consoles, but everyone as...
If it didn't get kickstarted shemnue would not be a game coming at all, so of course they didn't call a game that might not have existed an exclusive....
Ahh, I always love the people who will search as deep as they can to find a reaso. Their hypocrisy is ... ok.
There is really not a difference, except your need to find one. Just like people will claim Tomb raider is a money grab, but no man's sky, hellblade, ffvii and sfv are all great moves.
@outside in fact, even this article states they are funding developement to some extent, they state it matter of factly.
"Sony is providing various supports, including marketing and investment, to YSNet"
Notice he didn't say marketing and marketing.....
