At what point do we say that MS studio management has been more efficient this gen? I just want to be ready for that when the time comes and hell freezes over.

Microsoft patented it. Sony is now perfecting it.

This is good news. Please cancel every live service game that isn't already more or less completed and go back to drawing board for late stage PS5/PS6 single player exclusives with potential tact on multiplayer.
There was nothing wrong with games like Killzone 2/3, Resistance, SOCOM, MAG, Uncharted 2 with it's additional and simple multiplayer. We just want fun games again.

At what point will that have happened? They definitely are putting out more games, more new IP, more service games, and canceled less projects so far.
This is why I'm asking when.

So they really are giving up on their GaaS titles huh.

It was a serious question lol. It's honestly looking like Booty might be better at this than Hulst at this point. Anyway, nevermind.

Before anyone jumps the gun on this...seems like the title was barely in development:
So probably not much money was spent on this.

They should have been going this route. God of War, Spider-Man 2 and Horizon should have had a multiplayer element to it.

Oh shit, I get that reference. You’re referencing Star Trek: The Wrath of Last Hope.Do you feel it

Honestly never was able to conceptualize how a car combat game made sense in the new era of multiplayer we see booming.

If your looking for a wipe out fix, Redout and Redout 2 hits those same notes (sifi future racing on crazy tracks with a banger sound track).

Nintendo's the one that hasn't fired anybody and actually released games.

Nintendo has great studio management.
For this gen only, I'd definitely put MS 2nd place at this point. Then Sony in distant 3rd. Seems like they have no clue what they're doing, canceling projects constantly, exploding budgets and putting out less than everyone. Doesn't even seem close. MS has multiple games this year, and they will announce more at their E3 event. They have a more efficient pipeline at this point than Sony, and I don't know how that can even be debated. I think everyone owes Booty an apology. And this is with already putting everything on PC day 1, and starting ports to Switch and PS5, and running multiple service games.
Hulst seems like he should have been fired along with Booth. I don't know how you guys put up with it. Every game cancellation is potentially years lost. And they also just shut down a whole studio. They're a joke.

Did you hit your head?
A console launch with no new exclusives. A whole year later they released two new games in long running franchises and one of them fell on its face. They had a completely lackluster 2022. In 2023, their three big games all failed to meet expectations. One of which was an absolute disaster. We have a 2024 in which we know of one actual release date for a game announced 5 years ago. Where is Everwild? Perfect Dark? Fable? State of Decay 3?
PlayStation released plenty of games so far this gen. Yeah. I'd sure say their management took a hit recently. But sorry to tell you, it would take years for someone to say with a straight face that Microsoft did it better. Honestly, you'd have to be retarded to say it now.

Huh. That's interesting. Could've sworn "credible sources" said otherwise last year.
In any case, at least PlayStation's course correcting and being aggressive in doing so. A lot of others wouldn't.

As much as I love Twisted Metal, making it a "Live Service" game was not what I wanted from a new TM game. Hopefully the TV Show being pretty popular will make them look at a traditional TM game in the future.

Socom and MAG were multiplayer-focused games and would most definitely be GaaS.

It's GAAS crash. Kinda bummed to see the game shelved now.

According to Jason, the game had not been given the greenlight after a long while in development and ex-Firesprite employees talked last year about how one of the team's titles was trapped in development hell, with a lack of direction from leads who'd alter the design constantly.
Knowing that Twisted Metal was nothing but a glorified prototype, I have nothing to lament from the cancelation.

Wasn’t the last Twisted Metal a GaaS as well?

But it's not any different than before. They've cancelled projects since PS1. Microsoft only puts out more because of the massive buyouts. Nothing from their legacy studios.

I find no issue with this. Sony's saving grace at this point is their market lead and getting exclusives from 3rd parties. 1st party isn't all trash but it's underwhelming as F.

This seems to be a recurring issue in the industry. Leads changing the direction of a game to the point where its unrecognizable from the original vision and bogging the game down in development hell.
