It’s weird that they are so dead set on an idea that lacks fun, instead of focusing time, attention, and money on a fun idea.
I feel like the development pipeline at a lot of major publishers is broken.
Chase fun. Not “popular” concepts.
Jim Ryan had a winning formula handed to him and discarded it to pursue GAAS independently of how good they were.
Just sunset the game already and quit wasting valuable time on it..
Can’t wait til we’re out of the Jim Ryan era completely, so we don’t have to hear about these dumb ventures he pushed for anymore
Jimbo is gone, hopefully Hulst will follow too. What a disaster
Cancel it now. Save us all the trouble.
Don’t fall to the sunk cost fallacy, let’s just get back to making good games
Anybody else see an optical illusion from that image?
Yeah dog that’s just how games come together.
If this releases, it will be a fire game
Sony first party never misses
Won’t be surprised if it gets canned tho
I hope they’re aware of the sunk cost fallacy.
A live service Twisted Metal game made sense to me, I don’t know why they cancelled it over this game especially since Twisted Metal already has a fanbase.
I could’ve told you this 3 years ago Sony.
Cancel these live service shooter games
resurrect a the Spider-Man online game instead
Print money
Can someone explain to me what that fucking title is even meant to mean? It doesn’t roll off the tongue, it doesn’t sound cool, and being stylized like FairGame$ is lame as hell.
Also it’s already the name of an adults only unground fair in London?
Me @ Sony

We haven’t seen any gameplay of it so won’t really judge it completely just yet but man that initial trailer did not do it for me. I’m curious to see how it will actually look like, but I do have very low expectations.
DOA
Hopefully they learn that us ps players don’t want their live service trash
So after Jade Raymond left the studio, the new leads somehow convinced Sony to let them continue on. I assumed they actually found a way to make this project exciting since Haven didn’t outright dissolve after Jade was gone. But it looks like they were just a bunch of silvertongues and actually couldn’t turn this project around.
Fuck me what a disaster this will be, another studio will be closed as they produced nothing bar a boring live service game… just make single player games!
you have to wonder what value sony stills sees in this project/studio. bluepoint at least was a proven developer yet not even that rightfully earned goodwill was enough to save them in the end.
Beta testing this junk for release yet factions 2 gets axed. Truly braindead
Cancel it, close them, move on and give up this live service rubbish.
> Pre-Alpha
The number of people who rushed to comment / shit on Fairgarmes *without* understanding what “pre-alpha” means in the timeline of a game’s development. Shocking! /s
“the gamemode played was called ‘Cargo Heist’, which is essentially an extraction-based experience where you load into a map, loot, break vaults, and then extract” – 🥱
No one fucking wants this shit. Stop. Continue to develop single player games
They killed Bluepoint, but let this studio live.
Why?
Hulst must be the worst PS boss so far. Still don’t get why he still has a job.
I will never understand why Sony didn’t try to make a single-player live-service in a similar vein as Genshin Impact. Single-player, 3rd person action, emphasis on story elements…
But instead, they all tried to make multiplayer games, and most of them failed.
cancel this shit before it drops
Yeah no shit, you can tell from their trailers that it’s pretty boring.
I’m so glad each day and each flop that these asshats at Sony canceled Factions 2 over this slop.
Another one bites the dust
