Is there ANY of the bigger studios and publishers NOT fucking up this year?
I know this is about Sony who are just jumping, legs wide onto a metal railing in terms of management and decision making but I've saved so much money on new games because these dipshits can't make ONE game that is more fun than a newgrounds flash game.
Valve continue to easily lead the pack by releasing absolutely nothing.
They got Deadlock coming out and people have been loving it.
Without big marketing, just word of mouth and letting people invite other people, mind you. I feel like this needs to be mentioned considering how much money sony put into Concord, I don't even want to know how much for marketing they paid.
that's the other big thing, nobody seems to be applying the Hollywood 'add 100% again rule.'
Now I don't think it's that bad, but if it was $200m blown out another 200, to make it 400, you'd expect marketing to be another 200 on top again if you follow the standard Hollywood rule-of-thumb of adding 100% (to the original planned/expected budget)
I reckon 500 at least yeah.
My apprentice is playing the beta and raves about it.
