not saying this will happen, very much doubt it, but they could go 360/next xbox & PC alot of MS games are also on PC and the rumors of windows 8 and next xbox being compatible and the windows 8 phones... that would be a much bigger crowd. When 360 launched MS went after alot of the Sony exclusives, could they be doing the same with their next launch?
When does Journey release??
Why not stick with Sony? There games sell and people love them.
Maybe they just take too long like Team ICO, but imo there games are worth it.
I just think it's blown way out of proportion. we know that Ueda like minimalistic fairy tale theme with his games, his character in previous has obvious gender roles/stereotypes in it. Ico is a boy doing all the puching and climbing while he help the fragile Yorda. Wanda is the male warrior doing all the climbing and killing colossi while Mono is sleeping waiting. just like the old fairy tale with prince charming saving the princess.
so imagine you're Ueda thinking to develop Last Guardian, by default he think to make the main character a male because that's what his previous work has been. then he think of the possibility of main character to be a girl, at this state, his mind is still within the gender stereotypes of female being the fragile feminine character, so it'll wear skirt and have less stregth than a boy, then they come with problem of player seeing underneath a skirt etc. at this point, why make the main character a girl at all if she'll dress like a boy, and have the strength of a boy,and serve no other purpose for his story.
I think it's a very logical train of thought. I never felt Ueda is being sexist when he explain the reason why it's not a girl.
Sony actually owns Team Ico and everything they make. The employees are employees of Sony Corporation. Once Team Ico is dissolved those guys will work with everyone else at SCEJ.
Level-5 hit it big this past gen when they dumped Sony and started selfpublishing on Nintendo systems. Not exactly multiplatform there, but I'm guessing neither will be TGC's future endeavors.Do we actually have examples from studio's going from console-holder backed to multiplatform this generation where their new game is a bigger success? Can't think of someone.
Ninja Theory failed, still waiting on Bungie and Insomniac. From Software could be used as an example for Demon's Souls to Dark Souls.
Stay with Sony for a while and give us Journey/Fl0wer on Vita!
Like Team Ninja and Enlaved? Ya, spread those wings into lame IPs that fail!
Stay with Sony for a while and give us Journey/Fl0wer on Vita!
Ninja Theory failed once. DmC not outselling Heavenly Sword would be stunning.
Well just because their contract is up doesn't mean they won't still develop on Sony's platforms will it?
They will probably develop for psn/steam/xbl/ios.
I never liked their games to be honest, I thought flow (got it free from a sprint one week promotion on PSN IIRC) sucked. I also tried the demo for flower and thought it blew as well.
With that said people seem to like their games and they are definitely unique. I'm sure they'll find a larger audience by going multiplat.
