No way FFXV had a budget to 80 to 100 million...that was probably it's marketing budget. FFXV has 3 versions. Versus 13, Nomura directed XV and after taking nomura off the project the rushed and downdraded final version of XV.
Those numbers come from a random message board.

That's what they say they are going to do. Less spreading out funding to too many games, outsourcing development to outside developers and not make FF tactics games like diofield and just make a FF tactics game. You can't just make a game good by waiving a wand like you seem to believe...
It's not going to kill AA games but there will be less due only going with in house development.
And the last ace attorney was in 2017 and there have just ...
So you want more games like Valkyrie alysium, Diofield, harvestella, left alive that bomb sales wise?
It's like saying you want Capcom to make more AA exoprimal type games and make less Resident Evil game...
Do you think Nintendo making the OLED switch delayed their games?
What is this stupid argument going around that making a new ps5 is affecting game development?
"We need games?" We got 5 console exclusive games so far this year. I know...not first party, blah blah blah who cares.
And do you think the ps5 pro development is taking away resorces from naughty dog or santa monica? It doesn't affect game development one bit.
Yeah it would have made a difference. If it was good more people would have bought the 30 dollar season pass and actually generate revenue.
And there was a microtransactions store in redfall that was removed so they planned on it being live service like sea of thieves.
Even if "good" just meant the same amount of players as hi fi rush it would have generated way more money than hi fi rush since redfall was 80 and had future dlc to he purchase...
I guess the deviation team fell apart and didn't deliver good progress on what they pitched (they overhyped themselves when the team was announced)so Sony shut them down. They regrouped with a new team and a new pitch so Sony is giving them another shot.
And this time they are keeping it quiet to keep pressure down on the team. So people aren't asking everyday what deviation(or whatever the new team is called) is doing.
Edit: Also Sony never owne...
Now that Call of Duty is Microsoft first party expect the defense force to come out strong. Especially telling that they come to defend Call of Duty being called trash when the last one sits at 57% on metacritic.
Here is some estimate numbers from email leaks to know that 230 million is really not that much...more than half is going to the new monthly games.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: $35 million
Dying Light 2: $50 million
City Skylines 2: Unknown
Red Dead Redemption 2: $5 million pe...
But Microsoft said it was a success...

I guess we learned never to trust anything they say...
They shut one of them down. Polyphony and asobi are still around.
And that is besides the point of the comment as Sony didn't say they wanted more Japanese games then closes their one Japanese studio like Microsoft did.
Well i am not one for asking a developer to censor themselves by asking them to cut stuff out of their game...but you do you.
Remake and Rebirth are GOTY to me and you always have the original for you.
Love to see Stellar blade selling well. 2nd only to helldivers 2 in the US. Currently going for that platinum.
Where the F is Rebirth?! I wonder if people just don't know it's the sequel to remake. It is too good to be overlooked.
That was just Forbes trying to pass off some of the blame of the layoffs to a AAA industry wide issue as opposed to blaming Microsoft entirely.
They like to bring nuance and possible acceptable theories when it comes to Microsoft like claiming xbox "won" the 2023 game awards.
Sony closed london studio but also released MLB the show this year. So you are incorrect.
It wouldn't even matter if they were all 1st party people would still make up shit.
Rise of the ronin is apparently bombing despite team ninja saying it's selling more than the nioh games and it's outselling like a dragon in the us. Nobody cares that princess peach isn't in the top 20 and actually bombing.
Top 5 best selling games of the year in the us include helldivers 2, rebirth and MLB(there's one first party but im sure there...

Downloading hellblade 2 and booting it up once if you have gamepass is something everyone can do to support it by increasing the player numbers even if you don't want to play it.
But if you want to go the extra mile and buy the game, go nuts.
Playstation releases exclusive 3rd party games - they don't count as it's not first party
3rd party exclusive games have problems - Sony is fumbling.
How are they fumbling as they have the most exclusives of all platforms so far this year?
And haven't closed any first party studios this year?
Well the founder and writer/director tameen antoniades left Ninja theory recently just like mikami left tango...everyone better download Hellblade 2 to keep the studio alive.
Last year it was a weeks notice.
