No reply or statement from sucker punch or PlayStation on the mater plus that persons post was liked by a lot of the staff working at sucker punch. And just because that person says she no longer works there doesn't meen she does or doesn't

Sony has confirmed to Kotaku's supposed journalist that, the person in question doesn't work there anymore.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

No, that's you looking in a mirror. You're exactly the kind of smooth brain thinker that Sony and Sucker Punch expected when this blew up.

You didn't get ghosted, I literally replied to you and told you Kelly Snyder, Senior Producer of Sucker Punch was one of them. I didn't know the names of the other two and decided going back and sifting through millions of tweets wasn't worth the effort. The only reason they fired that singular employee is because it was the easiest way to try and get out from under this controversy, not because they disagreed with it or disavowed it. We had to find out from a gaming journalist that they were fired, and we only got that far because the employee posted that they were first. Sucker Punch and Sony have said absolutely nothing about this. They're fucking complicit and everyone knows it.

Apologies for somehow missing that person you mentioned. Not sure how I read over that. My next question is (and I am not trying to be a dick) is Is there actual evidence of this person and others liking the post? I ask this because it's super easy for things to be said and spread around without actual verification. Most of the time there are screenshots that are shared as evidence. I just keep hearing a bunch of SP people agreed with her, and while I'm not saying they did or didn't, I personally would like more than just names with no real evidence.

Edit:
Reference to an article or what someone else said is not evidence. fyi

Waiting for a steep sale or will never play. Especially with Hades 2, Silent Hill F, Borderlands 4. I have plenty to play until I can pick this up for nothing.

You can't do a safe sequel anymore Sony. I got tired of it with Death Stranding 2, Horizon, and now this. You must improve your game with each outing. Look at this thread:

Game Dev  Thread 'Hideki Kamiya says the response to Bayonetta’s sequels made him more cautious as Okami 2’s director'

Sep 16, 2025

With the development of Okami's sequel in full swing, Clovers Studio Head Hideki Kamiya is taking his role as game director very seriously. This is the first time Kamiya is directing a sequel for a title he originally created, after all, so he wants to make sure Okami 2 improves upon the elements introduced in the first game.

In a recent interview with VGC, Kamiya said that his role as a writer and supervisor for Bayonetta 2, 3, and Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost...

"Since directing a sequel is very different from directing a new IP, Kamiya is carefully considering how to approach Okami 2. The original Okami has a large dedicated fanbase, so it's only natural that expectations for the sequel are high. According to the director, his mission is to make Okami 2 better than the first. Promisingly, he describes the development process so far as "extremely fun," both for him and his staff."

Why can't Sony understand this? Why do they barely do enough and then just retread that until people complain? Is there no one with any ambition at Sony HQ who wants to make a better game than before? What happened to the Uncharted 2 Sony? Is the next astrobot just going to be new levels and a questionable gender flip? Why doesn't Sony "carefully considering how to approach" shit anymore?

The man made the best game of all time and really said, "I can do better.".

 

[Toots]

This you?

You must be recess king, being so quick witted

THis game is strange
It can look beautifully next gen like this

but also sadly ps4 era like this

I think the last shot is the one they are counting on to sell the game, it mostly works but the
low res textures in the mid distance are ugly as sin. Im still on the fence, but im leaning towards getting it now...

 

[RafterXL]

Why would Sony say something?
To Barbra Streisand themselves?
Do you think the entire gaming population visits NeoGAF or saw the tweet of that barely known dev?

Saying something would only draw more attention to it.
99% of gamers are casuals that have no idea of what is going on.

People should start thinking as a mega-company before saying what a mega-company should do.

You mean like all the other mega-companies that have come out and denounced a political assassination after they had to fire one of their employees? There is a reason why they aren't talking, and it's not because the are a mega-company, it's because they are rotten from top to bottom.

Sucker Punch Productions Character Artist Drew Harrison Celebrates Assassination Of Charlie Kirk

This article was written the day after the assassination, had her name listed, as well as others, and you could click the link and see their likes. Many of them have since deleted their likes, or deleted, or changed it so you have to make an account to see it, but I still have this image from where you can clearly see she is one of them. This is a Senior Producer for the company, not some random drone at Sucker Punch. Like I said, rot from top to bottom.

I scrolled through the list of people who like the post and they are some weirdos for sure but how are we determining the SP ones?

Companies are not individuals, they don't have feelings or a sense of morals.
They instead have suits in ethics departments that monitor situations and assess which is the least harmful response to situations.
Right now, given the low profile of Yotei (almost no marketing, low production cost since it's mostly recycled Tsushima) it's probably less harmful to do nothing.
If things escalate they might consider saying something.
It's just how the world works.

This. Also in this case it seems like a damned if I do damned if I don't thing. You got people from both sides of the argument with guns cocked and the company has to assess what is the least harmful course of action.

 

[IllegalLemon]

I am bit taken away about how the game is being treated here. No one has played it, but apparently its already hot garbage. The internet is at it again.
Maybe I missed some big outrage about the game (yeah I know about that one dev), but the negative sentiment was already there before.

GoT was my second favorite game in 2020 and I just love the general atmosphere, music, colors, designs and vibes this series has. Also I personally really liked the gameplay, especially on the harder difficulties. The online component was fun as well, the only reason I ever got PS Plus.

This looks amazing to me. Is it graphically the most ambitious game? Nah, but you guys cant complain about skyrocketing dev costs and then also complain not every open world game looks like Hellblade 2. It still gets the atmosphere across, which is more important to me.

Well, I am not going to change anyone's mind here, I dont think logic has a lot to do with it anyway, just here to say that I am super looking forward to this, definitely the only game I am still looking forward to this year (oh and BF6)

It didn't start with the dev making fun of someone's death. It goes way back. It all starts with the main character actress herself and her far left leaning, woke and narcissistic remarks, she likely had no impact on the game and its story whatsoever, doing nothing more than motion capture and voice recording sessions, but people look for any excuse to take a piss at a anything.

The second one, were those "groundbreaking" discoveries people made of Veilguard devs joining Sucker Punch, with some of them having lead dev positions at the studio. Those likely didn't have an impact on the game either, as big number of them wouldn't join the dev team until early 2025, a point in time, where the studio most possibly had wrapped up with the story, mocap and dialogue sessions. At that point, devs were and most probably still are, doing optimisation and bug fixing, which is something that devs do during, you guessed it, the last 6 months to a year preceding the launch of the game.

Veilguard devs likely couldn't change anything at that point, as the scripts were already at a pretty advanced stage for any changes to be applied. But alas, like I said, people hold onto any excuse they could find to bash anything.

 

[PropellerEar]

Pretty much the whole western devs industry had someone liking this or commenting this, tons of people from MS and I would not be surprised to see people from NERD and Retro Studios too. The problem is not just Sony and this game had plenty of people that are not assholes incapable of empathy either.

Also, when others were cancelling people and their works and the answer was "artistic works have value despite the artist being a good person or an asshole"… well it would apply here too.

It's not only single devs on their own account, Bethesda's official account double down on stupid, even after MSFTs "we are investigating" message.

Art or consumer product, people have their right to vote with their wallet and they should!

This is one reason why I don't like subscriptions, you are supporting shit... like it or not, choice is practically taken from you.

It's just an ideologies war; assassination is a terroristic act, an homocide, but this people use just as excuse to spread useless hate. People who praised the kill of course it's in the same level if not worse. Now blame the whole studio... I don't know, you can't control easily such subjects but it seems they try to remedy.

I said 4 because I personally saw, with my own eyes, four BlueSky accounts with Sucker Punch developer titles in their handle. Since that time none of them are on the like list, and I've seen a screenshot of one that turned out to be an "ex" Sucker Punch developer working at another company. So I don't know about a bunch, but I've only ever claimed 4, which is now 3 and an ex employee. Unfortunately I didn't screenshot the other employee at the time I saw it.

Yes, and we have been. This is bigger than your console warrior bullshit. Microsoft, The Coalition, Bethesda have been, rightfully, dragged through the shit all week.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm more of a perfume warrior than a console warrior, I dropped the console war nonsense more than a decade ago, that stuff is for children. Quit attributing everyone's opinions and thoughts on the need to participate in console wars, not everyone is like that and you have to be really near sighted to assume that. And this probably won't even put a noticeable dent in their sales figures, they might lose a few thousand preorders, not more than that, and in a few short weeks this will be treated as like it never really happened.

It's just like always, some people make a fuss about something, parts of the internet get up in arms, arguments both in bad and good faith occur and then eventually things go back to normal, it's a cycle. Some upcoming games might end up having some sort of leftist agenda and politics shoved into them in some capacity and people will complain like always, but people being people, they'll still buy the game at some point.

P.s. Thanks for the "console warrior" designation. I'll wear that proudly now. Even though nothing I stated classifies as console warrior speech. Enjoy your day!!!

Oh look, sign of intelligent life in this thread. It's hard being a moderate these days.

Everyone is with their pitchforks up in the air, not being very rational about this whole thing. Let's see if they keep the same attitude with Microsoft, Bethesda and all the other from the industry.

 

[ChiefDada]

Still no word on PS5 Pro upgrades? Also, one thing I've started to notice is the 30fps captures look significantly better than the 60fps. I'm thinking the game was originally designed around 30fps.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

It's crazy to have a big expensive AAA game come out in a few weeks and you're not posting your trailers on X anymore and getting blasted all to hell on Youtube.
You'd think Playstation or Sony would step in and make SP do more at this point. This is a big investment on the line.

 

[ChiefDada]

Jesus Christ look at the state of this thread. I dont think I've ever had any qualms with the mods on this forum but I think they can do a better job here. We have dedicated threads discussing some of the things being brought up.

A bunch of Sucker Punch and Insomniac devs liked her post. Sony never released a basic statement about this or even a boilerplate "we don't condone political violence" post. You buy this junk if you want. Easiest pass ever for me.

Why are you pretending as if you were going to purchase the game prior to all of this going down?

DS2, I can wait. And the base ps5 version seems to run fine anyway. Ghost of YoDEI, you can keep it.

 

[Sethbacca]

Why are you pretending as if you were going to purchase the game prior to all of this going down?

Seriously, the Venn diagram of people that thought the game was woke/DEI/woman 2 weeks ago and the people using recent events as an excuse not to buy it are basically a circle. They were literally never going to buy it anyway. You know it, I know it, they'll never admit it.

That's what's interesting...internet's main language is not a language...is just negativity.

*Sony announces game*
"Oh no...not a live game!!"

*Sony announces sequel to Ghost of Tsushima*

"Oh...not a woman! Oh no...more of the same...not a sequel that plays like the previous game but with more weapons, more moves and better visuals!! But wait...the visuals look PS4 only with better draw distance, at 60fps, better assets...this is not what we asked for! And now that one person in a team of hundreds tweeted something i don't like i'm not buying the game i kept complaining about and wasn't gonna buy anyway "

This about sums it up.

People aren't in forums to talk about games...they are here to complain about them while their backlog increases year after year with games they probably will never play.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

it's getting worse

I'm sure Sony is looking at the preorder charts on their PS stores and not youtube dislikes lmao.

Post in thread 'Game Developers celebrating assassination of Charlie Kirk [Update] Sucker Punch Dev Fired, and SP issue statement'

Sep 11, 2025

You have to really be a sick motherfucker to celebrate the death of a fucking youtuber/podcaster. These devs are the same resetera posters who cheered when TotalBiscuit died like he was some kind of war criminal. Western AAA gaming has been completely taken over by these nutjobs so I expect no firings or anything.

I wasn't gonna buy this slop anyway tbh.

I was never interested in this game since the reveal but I wasn't actively rooting for it to flop until now

I wonder if Sony will force their employees to play this game like Concord.

 

[viveks86]

I'm sure Sony is looking at the preorder charts on their PS stores and not youtube dislikes lmao.

I'm sure somebody at Sony is looking at the dislikes and communicating the reason up to management. Whether that matters to them, or not, I don't know. It stands to reason that marketing pays attention to these metrics. An overwhelmingly negative sentiment on social media is a net negative after all. Would be unwise to ignore imo.

You should know on your favorite platform X. Go look up Xbox.

You didn't look what they are promoting, go look and get back to me before doing this lame "gotcha".

Also why do they need to "promote" anything in order to take actions on their employees actions?

 

[GermanZepp]

this trailer looks a lot better, almost fun to play.

 

[Ozriel]

PS Store preorders in:

USA: 2 and 6 (EA Sports is at 1)
UK: 3 and 6 (EA Sports is at 1 and 2)
Japan: 2 and 11 (behind Dragon Quest)

Portugal (my irrelevant country): 3 and 4 (EA Sports is at 1 and 2)
Germany: 3 and 8
Spain: 2 and 6

You may have a tough time with that one from what i can see if the only game ahead of Ghost ot Yotei is the yearly Fifa and the just announced Dragon Quest in Japan.
Also...the most expensive deluxe edition is the one ahead in every single country.

The game will sell well. A lot of the hecklers online - and especially here - will buy it and play when the reviews come out and they are great.

Boycotts work when the product is unpopular. This won't work in this case.

MS already did the bare minimum and put out a statement condemning political violence. I didn't buy Avowed and I was actually interested in that because of the behavior of Obsidian employees. Imagine viewing everything in life through the lens of console wars autism.

[Kacho]

Like I said, this was never about Kirk's death to some of y'all. Still console warring.

No one is going to go out of their way to cancel ultra niche hardware, a Diablo 4 season or an Indiana Jones expansion that came out earlier this month. All three things are irrelevant.

Yotei is a tentpole release. If Bethesda, MS or Blizzard had anything similar they were promoting right now it would get the same treatment. Bethesda especially.
