TYRONE GA!
Not even worried about TLOU2 being dope. Kojima was my vote but it looks like he delivered.

Shoulda voted Squeenix

I'd say based off of forums people are more concerned with Death Stranding. Nobody is worried about TLOU 2 and everyone has been very impressed by FFVII remake.

Square Enix. They have to deliver on one of the most popular and iconic games and they have to do it in a timely manner. Fans have been waiting for this for over a decade. Then they have the Avengers game which is they are probably not going to be able to meet thr expectations and get killed for it. While the other games might have high expectations, they are nothing compared to the FF7 remake.

I would say Kojima productions cause if it bombs in sales(it won’t) it could be their first and last game.

It also needs to be a good game so they actually have a franchise going forward.

All the other studios in the poll have other established franchises and a secure place in the industry.

I voted CDPR because of the new found fame they have with console players due to the Witcher 3.

I notice a lot of hype around cyber punk but, to me, they are not a brand name that are as strong as the others listed.

Went with CDPR and Cyberpunk. You watch their first gameplay demo and then the second and it looks like they damn near did an overhaul. Factor in the first person/third person controversy a lot of people are skeptical about it measuring up to the hype now.

CD project red literally has one good game and I never played it, I'm not sold on the idea of them being Rockstar level.

Picked CDPR. The hype for Cyberpunk is off the charts but there’s a lot of questions on it too. TLOU2 at the very least will be a great game that just can’t get out of the shadow of the original.

Easily Kojima, he has a lot of haters/jealous people praying for DS to flop, so he has to deliver otherwise he's not gonna hear the end of it

Easily the FF7 remake. Square CANNOT fukk that up. They have done good recently and built up some good will in my book, but FF7 is like their holy grail of all games they have made. If they fukk up the remake it's gonna look bad for Square out here.
