Hello everyone! Sorry for not uploading in so long, had a lot of personal issues, and as I mentioned in the video I have an awesome video in the works!!!! Hopefully you guys enjoy this inbetween video in the meantime. Will be more consistent going forward :)

It is not only Ubisoft and Sony issue, it is seen in many big budget titles.
Ubisoft was trying to see what sells best and in the process crated a formula/template (old Ubisoft had more experiments smaller games, big games, more genres). They then release games based on a template with small modifications depending on game franchise and people got tired of it.
Sony did the same 3rd person action game, or action cinematic game. Closed studios less room for experimentation.

This all comes down to business decisions if one spends a ton of money they want to make it a safe bet and look what worked in the past and this is how a template/formula is created (sure this is huge simplification).

The same is true for many other companies, the restructuring at MSFT is to focus on what brings money and cut what does not.
I liked The Keeper, but this should be a game with an indie budget sold brand new for like 20$. I guess it was not.
A better example Nijna Theory they showed how it is done with first Hellblade - a game at 30$ (half price of so called AAA release) budget 10M GBP, ROI set for 6 months, achieved in 3. Good plan budget under control. But the second game seems like MSFT hands off approach resulted in game which was not as good as the first one with longer dev cycle and as a result way much higher budget. This is not sustainable. The creativity comes from restrains (like budget) not from “do something good, here is the money” as sooner or later money runs out and you need to deliver the product. In all software development (but especially in gaming) there are a ton of ideas, POCs, concepts sometimes even an implementation of a feature that is later removed. But if there are constrains the decision making should limit time spent on things that will be throw away.

Spider-Man 2 and dev interviews are good example here and I do not get how this game could possibly be 3 times more expensive as the first one with a lot of assets reused.

It made me sad replaying horizon forbidden west and realizing “Are you excited for hunters gathering?” Forbidden west is actually goated Aloy only has a weird face in a few cut scenes where the face movement looked weird.

Since the title of The Video is "Sony is the next Ubisoft", isn't SONY PlayStation supposed to be the Japanese Video Game Company like NINTENDO?

For the "where the money go?" part, one thing worth to mention is that, Spiderman2 and GoW Ragnarok are also recycling lot of content and assets from their previous entries, even they shouldn't cost nearly as much as new games entirely.

Nintendo didnt tell square to go away they refused to switch to discs and squares ff7 couldn't fit on a cartridge they didn't have a choice

1:46 if you like star field you totally need to try no man's sky if you never try it yet,it's like star field but a million times better even tho there's no actual dialogue the story can get really engaging

I can't agree with this analysis.
I agree that Sony is in a bad situation but it's not because of them recycleing their formula to much like Ubisoft
There's barely been any new Sony games compared to last generation. Because instead of making single player games they've sunk most of their money into flopping life services like Concord or Marathon.
I actually enjoy those games and was looking forward to Wolverine since I was hoping to finally get one of those games again. At least until I saw footage of the gameplay and noped out.
Their decision to kill physical isn't helping much either since many of the people that enjoy these cinematic single player games are also the people who prefer buying physical.

One more thing.
To me at least it seems that with new approach the first game is good but the sequel suffers.
While I didn’t like gow 2018 that much (preferred classics) it was ok/good but gow:r I push myself to finish
Same with spider man, same with horizon (I started forbidden west 3 times and dipped it).
As for ghost of…. I didn’t even got the second one.

Square/FF Was a flagship for Playstation*

Square aknowledged that console exclusivity is not working the way they want to.

Therefore FF7 revelation... the grand finale of a Iconic game for PS will now be available to all plataforms. There are reasons.....

PS is losing important things bit by bit

At around 6:00 the difference between what Sony did vs UBI. UBI already had a lot of mtx (time savers, XP boost packs, and others), Sony did not. UBI to justify the mtx in the game made it purposefully a grind to incentivize player to pay more, on top of this multiple editions from base to ultimate.
What Sony did right was it still felt like game respects your time. In zero Dawn you have like 5 hunting grounds and 6 tall necks (in UBI game you might have 2 dozens of these and what is more you will be force do this side content just to level and progress in main story).

The issue is that even if you have a better formula it is still a formula and a template produce too much from it and it might feel the same and customers might get Sony game fatigue.

This is why i didn't care about sony leaving steam. What did we actually lose? Ubisoft games with better writing? Ratchet and clank will be missed though.

IGN gave Crimson Desert a 6/10 😂

Sometimes I feel ashamed for owning a ps5.

That thumbnail is really clean ngl bro

Nah, Volverine (and other similar sloptitles) is a AAAAAA game (as in scream)
