That has nothing to do with my comment, the one I was replying to, or this discussion in general, but carry on.

My point is they need to have a finished game (may have bug, bad gameplay or whatever) so they can release it. Rime in this case it's just a concept that had changed gameplay many times (tower defense, MOBA) and they still try to get what they showed in unveil trailer. They need to have a clear goal about Rime
Edit: all things I said was based on rumors in this thread

Calm down. I wanted to reply to the original post, failed quoting and so on. My bad.
But that is Sony Spain, the thing could be possible, Rime is a XDev project.

Feels like things haven't gone so well for Sony published games this generation. Knack and Killzone were turds. Santa Monica's big project cancelled. The Last Guardian dragging on forever. DriveClub fiasco. The Order turning out to be terrible. And now they lose Rime, one of their most highly anticipated games. The only shining light has been Bloodborne.

Same. And I've worked close to all of this, it's not the first time I hear this kind of stuff.

Good thing you told me to calm down. I was seething with anger, clearly.
No matter who you were replying to though, I can't imagine a discussion comparing the merits of TO1886 and Rime going anywhere enlightening.
Art style > pure tech. To me Rime looks (looked) better than The Order.
I'm really saddened by the whole thing. This was one of my most wanted games and now it'll likely get cancelled.
U4 comes out in a couple of months you know.
I like Knack and Driveclub (only fiasco was the launch, the game is amazing right now). Killzone is mediocre (but pretty). I like the Order, a sequel will be perfect with some changes (bue I think we won't have one).
Tearaway Unfolded, Gravity Rush, Resogun, Until Dawn, Helldivers, Infamous Second Son though. They published a lot of good games this gen too.

Get out of here with your voice of reason. Sony firstparty/publishing RIP.

Yeah, hopefully that will be the end of the bad run. ND are always dependable and I love their games. I think GT Sport is going to be another disappointment though and I have reservations about Horizon. As far as new IP go, this gen has been really poor for Sony.
Feels like things haven't gone so well for Nintendo published games this generation: Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, Devil's Third.
See how this works?

Even that was originally a 2015 game.
Politicians are a reflection of the citizens. Film industry has been doing this years and nobody did anything to fix it.
But... but... piracy... and... and...the internet and... let me live like a king while scamming the people damn it!

Outside Resogun and Bloodborne, Sony first party has been awful so far. And outside Alien Isolation and Witcher 3, third party ain't been shit yet either. Definitely off to a sloooooow start. But things look to be picking up with Uncharted and Mirror's Edge.
Well...WOW.
Not going to start a neverending political discussion here, but you just suggested that all Spanish devs are basically lazy, stealing dickheads, right? All based on unconfirmed, speculating comments?
I mean, I'm sure you are a nice guy and all and you made that comment out of pure rage for some reason (you're also Spanish, maybe?), but you need to understand that putting all game makers of a certain country in a bad position on a public forum full of videogame fans is potentially dangerous and very disrespecting for the local dev community.
Not cool, man.
What about until dawn? That game was cool. Infamous SS was good as well, far from awful.
Driveclub is a gem too imho, it just had a terrible launch period.
If what we're hearing in this thread turns out to be true... well, it sucks hard.
At least we'll always have that amazing Gamescom trailer. Consigned to the same shelf as the 2001 Duke Nukem Forever trailer I suppose.

Maybe "awful" was a bit too strong.
I thought Until Dawn was pretty good in it's own genre. Interactive fiction games don't really do it for me though, so it was one and done. I probably would have absolutely loved the shit out of the game if it was survival horror.
Infamous ran well, but was completely forgettable.
I expect the next round of first party stuff to be better.

Heh, seriously. I did the same thing. I don't see this game as being anything other than a lost cause at this point. If it ever does see the light of day, then it's probably going to be shit anyway. Quite depressing really considering how hyped I was for it at one point.
Still, at least Ueda, the master of this sort of thing, has his game still poised to come out, and it's probably going to be great. ABZU as well. Vane will hopefully be worth playing. They all soften the blow somewhat.
C'mon. Since when Rime was one of their [Sony's] most highly anticipated games?

Yep, didn't say otherwise. That was just their answer when asked about situation and leak.
This was expected at both Sony Spain and SCE, but it was the latter who handled the project. What Sony Spain learnt yesterday was about Tequila's announcement, same as everyone, but not about the split or the situation. That's what I mean
Sony was ofc aware of everything, no eventual or shocking move Tequila's side. What makes me wonder why didn't they take the first official step.I didn't suggest that. That's only your evil mind.

SCE commented to Gamespot that "SCE is no longer proprietary of the IP, nor publisher of the game.". Wouldn't that make them previously the IP's owner? If so it wouldn't be Tequila's choice to drop the partnership and still take Rime with them. Sony would have to relinquish it first and allow TW the opportunity to get it back.
Yeah, they kind of have to keep working on Rime considering the amount of public funds that were handed over to them, the majority of which being a loan. We all are familiar how well loans from governments to game companies go over when said company doesn't deliver on the product promised :

No at least with The Last Guardian, there was actually a game being made.

I know not to get excited for Rime when I played Deadlight but I never expected there not to be a game at all.

Till now Sonys 1P has been disappointing. But big projects are coming soon. Btw don't forget infamous second son. It fared well against Titanfall hype.
The last guardian actually has a release coming up. How are you blaming it on this generation when this generation is when it will come out. How about until dawn, conveniently forgotten I'm sure. If you want to talk about the order and rime, guess we can talk about helldivers, resogun, and any number of other Sony published games that didn't make your list.
So they had Crunch time in June, and promised more info in October. And we've seen nothing new? That's not a good look.
They said in 2014 that release was going to be 2015, date under Sony decission.
Maybe now that Sony isn't involved they can release the game next month.
lol I love their definition of soon.

Where has this MOBA rumour come from?! Sounds like total bollocks to me. No way did Sony show this as an Ico-style adventure, and then decide it would suit the market better as a MOBA.
