Sony winding down Japan Studios

[Prince Akeem]

Can say I'm bothered by this.

The cries of sony abandoning japan when no one bought the games is hilarious.

Whats also funny is sony just bought stake in Fromsoftwares parent company to specifically create new IP.

If people don't buy the games, the studios don't last - it's business.

And look at the list of titles, they all ahve sequels despite their predecessors not doing well commercially. I’ve seen studios get bushed with the failure of one title.

I liked a lot of these games but at the end of day it’s...

I love Gravity Daze

But anyone could see this coming... Sony's focus has been gearing more western for the last 2 gens.

Fix what's not broken brehs

Issue is that the Japanese market don't want console games. They want handheld games. The kind of games that Japan studios makes doesn't have any real audience on ps5 in Japan since they are predominately switch over there.

I don't know about great but gravity rush 2 was a really fun game to play with tons of charm. Its a shame the series couldn't get the attention it deserved because the gameplay elements were really unique

And that's that.

I need to reiterate how hypocritical it is for people to cry about the failing for Japan Studio and say sony hates eastern gamers and all this rhetoric I’m seeing today.

But in different forums, including this one i see people scoff at the stylized/inventive games or just completely ignore them. Games like solar ash which looks like Gravity Rush 3, or Sifu which has a stylized comic look. A lot of people also didn’t give The Pathless a chance and it was a really enjoyable and budgeted title.

So when people complain about certain kinds of games failing and that sony only cares about making “movie” games we know why. It’s like people will shyt on sony and its fans for only caring about bid budget cinematic games, but come into threads with state of plays and say it was trash if they don’t only focus on those games

 

[Wild self]

Damn shame.

Its kinda like NY rap trying to be southern/Chicago inspired, the same thing with Sony catering to Western Audiences at the expense of the Japanese studios that make the most creative games.

So Sony being reduced to a more efficient M$ and Nintendo taking over Japan entirely.

They’re simply going to where the money is.

Solar Ash will probably do fine.. since Hyper Light did fine and was talked about.

Outside of that.. yea

I mean i actually play those games so i should be the one most upset about it. I loved gravity rush 2 and last guardian, and i like smaller indie games like these.

we gotta be real and admit the majority of the population only wants to see games like this on nintendo consoles
