Just buy the IP, Sony.

Isn't Destiny still profitable?

Still have to see how this games plays out. I haven't seen anything that has made this a must buy.

DarkLordMalik · May 14, 2015

Dear Sony, focus more on your first parties instead of treating third parties as your own "first-party" release.

Thanks.

Shizuka · May 14, 2015

Like Puppeteer and Tearaway? Like Rain, Soul Sacrifice Delta and Oreshika?

Honestly, the only take-away from this statement is "don't read too much into it."

He's a marketing guy toeing the company line.

If Sony didn't have NMS, then he would simply substitute NMS with Battlefront. If they had Uncharted, he would've replaced it with Uncharted.

Fergal gonna Fergal.

If you are still asking "BUT WHAT DO YOU DO IN THIS GAME!?" Please watch this channel. Educate yourself.

Well, what I mean is, Destiny still came out on Xbox One despite being treated like a first-party release.

Which is why Fergal's 'quotes' like this, are honestly, not really note-worthy. We know that he toes the company line, and that 'treated like a first-party' is replaceable with any marketing partner game, depending on their line-up that season.

If Sony didn't have No Man's Sky, Fergal would've just said Battlefront instead.

But it's not, They should keep their money for real first party games.

Is the Ratchet & Clank remake no longer a real first party game now?

You already know Sony's holiday lineup? Tell me, is the Uncharted Collection real or fake?

PSOreo · May 14, 2015

I was pretty hyped for this game but recently I honestly forgot about it completely until now. Seems like after every event it fades into obscurity, with little to no news. Hopefully we'll get some definitive information at E3.

So true, Sony has been shitty with a lot of their 1st party games.

I'm looking forward to checking the game out. Setting that aside,

Yep. We need that mid-tier back. Game looks worth checking out.

Why so glum? This game is the definition of gamechanger if its well executed. Sony is smart touting this game.

CrowDieSlow · May 14, 2015

Yeesh, you guys are feisty this morning.

Hoodbury · May 14, 2015

I thought the whole reason of going Indie was to not have the stress of a big publisher breathing down your neck? I'm sure the support helps, but I hope it doesn't push the product sooner than when Sean and team were planning just so it works for Sony's plans.

I wonder if MS should use this tactic for the nine first months of the year then.

And it worked out pretty damn well for them. Honestly, Sony delivers exclusives throughout the entire year and that's a much more preferable strategy in my eyes. They still get the big holiday sales and we don't have to wait around 9 months to get another worthwhile exclusive

Yeah, I couldn't be happier, I just wish they would promote more of these smaller games like this. Puppeteer should have been so lucky.

Ain't nobody need first party titles in preseason!

They did that for Destiny and it sold more on xbox, I mean... what a shot in the foot.

1.21Gigawatts · May 14, 2015

If it all comes together as well as expected, it will be treated like a first-party release

So if the marketing isn't huge we know the game isn't as good as we though it'd be.

Because we already saw a big amount of the game, it has been revealed back in 2013, 1 year and a half ago. I'm more interested in new stuff at those type of conference.

It seems like a lot of things don't count when arguing on GAF.

Syntsui said:

Is this true? All forums and Destiny threads seem to have way more Ps4 players than XBoxOne players. Just from my community experience I thought that it sold close to double on Ps4 compared to XB1. I would be really surprised if it sold more on XB1.

The GAF OT for Destiny feels like 80% Ps4, 20% XB1 tbh.

If you followed sales at all you'd know how goddamn ignorant this makes you sound.

Funny how all the people who moan about Sony not having games at the end of the year never mention this fact.

Sony spreads their games out, not hold them all for the last 3 months to try and combat their lack of sales because they don't have to worry about that.

PlayStation fans aren't available to make that comment because they're too busy playing Bloodborne.

The game's sheer ambition could justify the $60 price tag, I think. In that instance, I'd hope it would get a retail release.

I thought that this has been thoroughly rebuked numerous times already.

But yeah, really excited for NMS. Dread seeing any thread on it on GAF though. I used to think that I was a cynical and heartless bastard when it comes to games, but seeing all these replies in these threads makes me somehow feel the opposite.

Retail disk copies on xboxone did outsell PS4. However with digital sales and bundles its pretty clear that Sony sold more copies.

Look at the graph that Bungie shared a few days ago about brining servers back online and player base, its clearly broken down by platform and the "lead" platform has a HUGE margin.

ChryZ · May 14, 2015

Whatever, Sony. I don't really think Hello Games needs that much help at this point, the game will be a big hit regardless.

Josman · May 14, 2015

If that is true they should fund Morpheus support, it could be big.

I really hope this whole build up and hype for NMS comes to fruition

It has the potential to be something like minecraft -- an infinite playground.

It also has the potential to lose itself if it fails to have engaging gameplay mechanics.

Sony wants the first option, obviously, and so it's in their best interest to get behind the project since it's obviously got massive ambition.

Apparently retail copies yes. But bundled and digital? Not a chance

I wouldn't trust the flip floppers over at Hello Games.

kind of ironic when you consider Microsoft's original vision for the console.

regarding No Mans Sky I think Sony should just lock it down.
