i would love Kamiya in charge, we would get games that become timeless classics but bomb extra hard.What about Kamiya? This is genius my friends I am uncovered the Da Vinci code
Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya is leaving PlatinumGames
There’s no word on what the Devil May Cry and Okami director is doing next, but it will likely involve blocking people on Twitterwww.polygon.com
This buffoon
That's fine. I have also noticed that sometimes you also have to be in the mood or the right mindset to enjoy a game.Its not so much I don't enjoy those story driven single player games its just the last couple have bored me especially the last God of War
Honestly I think thats what had me so incredibly hyped for Starfield was a new IP of something I had not played before (and can't wait for Wolverine)
I dunno its hard for me to describe but even SM2 I will play it but just not super excited about it
I agree the polishment and writing on PS Studios games are on another level. Xbox games writing in general are so dumb and shallow. After 40 I prefer a solid single player experience with a great narrative and I only find that on PS Studios, Rockstar, CDPR and Larian games.I don't play GaaS games. The Division 2 and GT7 are the only two GaaS games I've played for more than 30 hours (apart from Rocket League, which is just PvP MP), but I even played those as purely single-player games.
However, I do understand their reasoning -- even if those GaaS games aren't for me. If Shawn Layden started this, instead of Jim Ryan initiating this in 2020, Sony would have been in much better position today - especially in the context of losing Activision.
I'm the opposite in this sense. As I grew older, I've enjoyed more and more PS Studios titles. I've almost stopped playing MP games completely. It is only PS Studios story-driven action-adventure titles that have kept me in gaming after all these years.
It time for Playstation to step up and become the marketing God it once was during the PS3 days. Let's hope we get a cool, less corporate boss this time around.
No, most SIE CEOs have a ~5 to 6 year tenure. Then somebody else is hired.Sounds like this guy was meant to be a stopgap from the very beginning. During his short time, the company had some considerable wins. Good for him. Will be very interesting to see whos going to replace him.
He’s just being emotional about PlayStation games coming to PC. It would literally not make that much of a difference if they launched games day and date with PC. Majority of people would still play exclusives on consoles and hell some might be turned off the idea of getting bad ports at launch on PC to purchase it on the console. I guarantee with all the marketing Spider-man 2 has it would probably sell almost double of what it will sell just on PS5. People don’t realize releasing games on PC is more money for Sony to invest into delivering more games for the Platform.He is 63 per Bloomberg.
Clearly some console gamers feel threatened by the idea for reasons. I've yet to read a concrete answer as to why it is a bad thing from a gamer perspective. As I said before, PS games on PC will not transform console gamers into PC gamers. The majority of PS gamers are not even gaming there for exclusives. They are there for the CODs, Maddens, FIFAs, Fortnite, etc etc. We see that every year in the PS best selling games.
Having said that, I've also said I get why Sony prioritizes their console business. They have loyal fans there and they don't have to share revenue with Valve or Epic. So from a business standpoint, yeah, I get why.
What's with you? You are making this weirdly personal. If I don't have to spend $500 on another device then that is reason enough for me to want all games on one platform. It's really just that simple. Why don't you step back and try to discuss this without being personally offended by this stuff? It's just video games man.
Nah. If I believed that PS games being on PC day one would truly damage the PS platform then I would not be in favor of it at all. But that's simply not the case, imo.
But you tell me why it is so important for PS games to not be on PC day one? How does it reduce your enjoyment of those games? But please.....stop making it personal.

All info online said he is 5'8, wonder if he tore it trying to get taller. What a sad day in the industry.Can't 100% confirm, but I heard that he did the motion capture for Venom and ended up tearing his ACL, so he is being forced into retirement for health reasons.
I think a lot of PS gamers have really put a lot of effort into tearing down any positive aspect Phil Spencer may have. No one honestly thinks he's "cool" or really cares about his shirts. What they like is that he at least is aware of gaming culture, enjoys and sees value in engaging with fans at events like E3 that help foster goodwill for the brand, enjoys the process of throwing tiny little fun hints around here and there like many top execs have done in the past like Reggie, Shawn and more, and understands the value of gaming as a medium from a creative perspective. That all leads to more support for a wider range of titles in the AA space that may not be immediate blockbusters. You see all of the above in people like Shu as well, and every single PS gamer knows that about Shu and thinks its a positive thing. Anyone trying to tell you they actually don't see it as a benefit to have someone at the top that understands gaming a little bit more in depth is just literally lying and gaslighting you.Eh....don't care about the guy being "cool" or not, personally. Often times, being "cool" comes at the expense of being genuine.
I know what you mean. But the cool guys I'm thinking of over the years were pretty normal and that's what made them cool.Eh....don't care about the guy being "cool" or not, personally. Often times, being "cool" comes at the expense of being genuine.
Fuck no. Need someone even better than Jim. Shawn would be 2 steps back.It's about fucking time. Let's get someone good in there again. I say bring back Shawn. Loved that guy.
I don't want to be friends with them haha. I just want someone with some real personality again who actually plays games when they find time.Why are some of you so desperate for executives that you think you can be friends with?
Spoiler: you can't.

No one ever thought it was a "fake" thing until they wanted to start tearing down Xbox. No one thought it was horrible that Shawn Layden talks about Vib-Ribbon. It never made Layden "cool" or Shu. Everyone knows they're just execs. It is still a benefit though, and as soon as PS gets another person like that you'll see everyone change their tune immediately.

Fuck that noise. Shawn >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> JimFuck no. Need someone even better than Jim. Shawn would be 2 steps back.
Phil Harrison is currently unemployed.
Reggie is as stiff as it gets. So is Shu. Thats again, not what I'm talking about. No one thinks they are cool. Its still absolutely an asset to have someone in the job that understands the concerns of the customers. And it absolutely does impact what kind of games get made.Don't care about any of that. I'm not playing games to worship corporate executives. I don't care how cool or how stiff a CEO is as long as he brings the games.
I don't want to be friends with them haha. I just want someone with some real personality again who actually plays games when they find time.
I need Sony to try some new IP's
Hopefully it isn't.I believe it will be Hermen. Have a feeling Sony trusts him.
I'd be happy with a CEO that says absolutely nothing, to the point that I don't even know who he is. All I care about is getting a great gaming experience.Don't care about any of that. I'm not playing games to worship corporate executives. I don't care how cool or how stiff a CEO is as long as he brings the games.
Good riddance you disgusting suit!
Bring someone who doesn't just care about live service and the bottom line.
I would LOVE hermen hulst for the job!
Man, Shawn didn't do jackshit.Fuck that noise. Shawn >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jim
Lmao whatBut young people hate sp games.
We will just have to agree to disagreeMan, Shawn didn't do jackshit.
It's like we're all living with short-term memory loss, coupled with nostalgia.
- He didn't acquire any studio,
- Didn't expand internal teams,
- Couldn't fix Japan Studios,
- Couldn't help ND retain 2 teams and make it work,
- Couldn't acquire Insomniac,
- Couldn't start any notable multiplayer project,
- Let multiple IPs die down into oblivion,
- Let go of Team Ico
- Closed down Evolution Studios
- Let go of Stig and his team and deprived us of Internal 7
- Almost shut down Sony Santa Monica
He wasn't good at his job. Jim Ryan was 10x better than him.
I don't believe any of you guys. The greatest marketing moment of the PS4 was Shu being in touch enough with gamer concerns to quickly put together that PS4 "this is how you share discs" viral video. He knew what the customers felt and could respond quickly. It's not about him being cool. He's just a guy that falls asleep in meetings and wears business suits.I'd be happy with a CEO that says absolutely nothing, to the point that I don't even know who he is.

I am not like those guys mocking people who like PC ports. I buy them myself.Legit question, why?
I'm really confused by this. I see multiple replies in this thread having this stance, or mocking people who like PC ports, and I don't really understand why. It doesn't change anything for people playing on ps5, it stays the same for you.
The only thing it does is that it lets more people play the game on a different platform, which only seems like a positive thing.
I don't understand how it can be viewed as a problem when it doesn't change anything to you.
Yes, I said that in my first post.That's fine. So we agree that none of that depends on the guy being "cool".
What a weird take from my statement. I genuinely dont care about any CEO, anywhere in any industry. They all come across as cunts to me. I'd be equally happy just having a faceless PlayStation management team. Jim had the charisma of a paper clip, with the one redeeming plus, that he spoke less than Phil.I don't believe any of you guys.

Watch everyone immediately change their tune if PS gets a front facing CEO that can string together more than 3 sentences.

lol I thought he's only been there for like a year or so. Time flies.No, most SIE CEOs have a ~5 to 6 year tenure. Then somebody else is hired.
It does!lol I thought he's only been there for like a year or so. Time flies.
It does!
He joined in 2019 (before PS5's launch) and will retire in 2024 (before PS6's launch)
