Naughty Dog is literally working on a TLOU online only game.And also you will never get an online game from Sony it seems. Those games evolve over time and Metacritic is not the proper way to measure them. If MS had Sony's mindset they would have axed Sea of Thieves when released, and its now one of the most sucessful games and a perpetual top seller on Steam
Really?That's just sad in a way. Game journos and even devs at times know jack shit about gaming. Besides, there are games in certain genres that will never resonate with Metacritic at the +90 level Sony wants these days: Horror games, Character action, arcade racing, arcade sports and more.
Actually, Jade Raymond is working on an online game for Sony, same as Arrowhead, same as Naughty Dog and a second team over at Guerrilla...And also you will never get an online game from Sony it seems.

Apparently not, if they did then they would be pissed at Naughty Dog as their tlou2 was roasted by gamer critics while Ghost of Tushima was praised. tlou2 - 5.7 on metacritic from user reviews.The game killed it with user reviews though. Does Sony not care what the fans think? it has an 8.3 user review score. I know the response to that is well user reviews can be manipulated. Well I'm pretty sure most of the nearly 8000 user reviews were not manipulated.
I was pleasantly surprised with the game.
CoD Cold War only has 76 metascore. Fucking trash. Cancel the sequels and fire the director.
Actually, you know what... I changed my mind.
Outriders is even lower so yeah, it's really naive to focus too much on metascore.
They go off metacritic because gamers go off Metacritic
New Sony yes.So basically Sony is no different than any other publisher in the video game industry.
2021 (Winner Sony)71 is a good score to Microsoft first party
Thread has nothing to do with Microsoft but this loser wants to bring in console wars...again! Also, your statement was bullshit too proven by poster above!71 is a good score to Microsoft first party
Is this backed up by any example? Do you know how many Nintendo franchises received a sequel because they sell well?everyone cares about metacritic, not just sony.
why is everyone on a crusade against sony these days? MS and Nintendo are just as shitty when it comes to practices.

Days Gone is currently at 71% on Metacritics and that doesn't seem to be enough for Sony
The news that a pitch for Days Gone 2 had been rejected by Sony prompted David Jaffe, the game designer known for creating God of War and Twisted Metal, to host video interviews with Days Gone directors on his YouTube channel.
Last week he had Jeff Ross, while yesterday it was John Garvin's turn (who, by the way, was also the game's writer).
Garvin revealed to have left Sony Bend merely days after the game's release in April 2019. When Jaffe asked him how he took the first wave of Days Gone reviews, Garvin replied:
"I took it hard, to be honest, because, again...This is just the reality of Sony, Metacritic score is everything. If you're the creative director on a franchise and your game is coming out to a 70, you're not going to be the creative director on that franchise for very long"
Indeed, Sony has had a string of critically acclaimed game releases with the likes of Uncharted, The Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man, Dreams, and most recently Ghost of Tsushima.
On the other hand, there's evidence Sony might actually be looking for both outstanding critical acclaim and commercial success nowadays.
For example, Japan Studio's Gravity Rush 2 had an average Metacritic score of 80 but didn't really sell well and that was the last game ever made by Team Gravity.
Japan Studio as a whole was essentially shut down and will now focus on supporting Asobi Team, the makers of Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Astro's Playroom, as confirmed by Sony earlier this month.
Days Gone may not have had high critical acclaim, but it did sell pretty well and managed to find a dedicated fanbase.
That's demonstrated by the Change.org petition asking Sony to greenlight a sequel; it already got over 32.6K signatures and even Jeff Ross himself asked his Twitter followers to participate while tagging SIE Worldwide Studio head Hermen Hulst.
Days Gone is about to launch on PC in a month from now. Perhaps a successful launch on this platform could persuade Sony to eventually develop another installment, thus satisfying everyone eager for a follow-up on that story cliffhanger.
Days Gone Director John Garvin Says Metacritic Score Is Everything to Sony
Days Gone director and writer John Garvin said he took the game's early reviews pretty hard as the Metacritic score is everything to Sony.wccftech.com
This game was profitable. The director confirmed it.Pretty sure profit is everything to a company. They wouldn't keep putting out good games if it didn't turn them a profit.
But not as profitable as Spiderman, TLOU, or God of War.This game was profitable. The director confirmed it.
I like Cold War. Just got into it recently. Has a good feel to the game and the maps are decent, although the few rehash maps like Express and Raid I hate. Dont need another Nuke Town for the millionth time.CoD Cold War only has 76 metascore. Fucking trash. Cancel the sequels and fire the director.
Actually, you know what... I changed my mind.
Outriders is even lower so yeah, it's really naive to focus too much on metascore.
Sony should learn from MS and don’t be ashamed of pumping out 60 MC game after 60 MC game.
So basically Sony is no different than any other publisher in the video game industry.
Honestly i was thinking this the other day, when thinking of a reason why Sony wouldnt greenlight Days Gone 2 if the first game got good enough sales, which it seemingly did.
I mean whats the other Sony first party game that sticks out when you think middling reviews that dont match the usual high standards of Sony first party?, Driveclub. And we all know what happened there.
Okay so Bloodborne got a 92. Sequel when?
I am also playing it and although in no way is a bad game, it’s not perfect. The Metacritic score for me sounds accurate based on my experience.Accurate score, unfortunately. I love zombie games but this game was missing something for me.
You mean the ones that they already have in the bag? No need for that, the "relationship" is already strong.This is sad considering how shitty modern videogame journalism is...
I fear sony becoming more woke to please the modern soy journalists.
