Bioware. Incredible success with single-player RPGs (KOTOR, Mass Effect, etc).
Rocksteady. Critical & commercial success with Batman Arkham games.
Crystal Dynamics. Rich history & iconic franchise with Tomb Raider.
Sony, since the PS1 era, has always been known for offline single-player games mostly in third person camera perspective (with Killzone & Resistance series are outliers).
Out of the blue & with little marketing push to boot... They do an FPS that's both ONLINE-ONLY & live-service.
Nobody asked them to do this. We love our God of Warses, Last of Uses, Spider-Men, etc. not to mention the countless third-party exclusives.
Not even the market; the Overwatch-like games are so overpopulated like zombie games of the mid-2000s lol plus I haven't even mentioned millions of free-to-play games & if I'm not mistaken Concord was a $70 game right?
I've read in a report that Concord cost Sony $400 million. Don't know if that's accurate but as PlayStation fan for a long time now it makes me wonder...
Just... why?
With that money they could've made Days Gone 2, SOCOM 5, Twisted Metal 6, Legend of Dragoon 2, etc. & many, many more of their own IPs that've been long dormant & forgotten yet to this day still massive following.
I guess just like somebody famous once said, we live & we learn (IYKYK).
Hope they do!
Seriously I really wish Sony make what they do best & take heart the trust so many players over the years invested in them. Sure try to make things differently every now & then but never stray away from your bread & butter.
I mean who can resist like bread & butter
Thoughts on this guys.
