Herman Hulst: More cross-gen games could come (SP Sony games still most profitable)
- Thread starter Son of Sparda
- Start date
- News
MLB The Show, Pixelopus' game assuming it's not cutting edge graphics. Also, some 3rd party games and any indies they may be involved with.
I'd imagine nearly all their live service stuff will be cross-gen. Their singleplayer stuff less so. Spidey 2, Wolverine are leaving cross-gen behind and those are arguably their two biggest IP. If those won't be cross-gen I can't imagine much else will.
I'd rather they make a native PS5 game and down the line they dumb it down to PS4 if they seem it's worth it. But yeah it's best if they don't pair down the PS5 Sku bc of PS4.
Makes sense since they'll probably also end up on PC and you want to snatch up the mid-low end market.
If single-player games are the most profitable then why aren't they making more of them? It seems like a right decision to expand on GaaS and Mobile titles but no indicaiton of increasing their portfolio of single-player games appears like they're being negligent.
Words don't necessarily mean action, but I think this is one of the few times I've ever seen an executive come across as understanding what crunch culture entails.
I'm very cautiously opportunistic about the profitable he stated on the interview since they haven't made anything IPs games for the past two years since the PS5 has launched, just a very few exclusive ones.
But we will shall see if he keeps his commitment on SP or not.

You are on a trolling spree on PS threads, and in all of them you answer within 1-2 minutes, hence not even reading the articles. Touch some grass.
Hermen said this specifically to ruin your day
Not because it makes total sense to continue to sell MLB, smaller titles and some GaaS products on PS4
Yeah and he actually spoke about that in the French interview that just went live. So day and date on PC + cross-gen will give them a better chance of building bigger communities.
if cross gen means we still have thinly disguised loading sections in ps5 games this is a bummer
They are also increasing their single-player portfolio, they have like 15+ SP titles in development (my list says 23)
TLOU: Part 1 was actually done with zero crunch, hopefully that continues
a quick glance at the internal studios and you will see that the amount of rumored SP games is matching or even exceeding the numbers from last gen.
Cross-gen will probably be for some live-service games and MLB, guessing Factions will be live-service, and maybe Helldivers 2
With Spider-Man 2 + Wolverine being PS5 only, I don't see any other single-player games being cross-gen, I think that ends with Ragnarok

Yeah but it's not like they've announced a slate of PC, GaaS and Mobile games but they've been talking about substantially increasing their investment in those areas. But for the titles that made PlayStation Studios popular in the first place, namely the single-player games, so far they've indicated that they will just maintain the course and not increase their number of projects.
So far it seems like it will match the previous generation when they should be increasing in genres where PlayStation Studios offerings have been weak and nonexistent, especially as acquisitons are happening as well so they can't rely on third parties for everything.
Honestly, all things considered that in this generation it really makes sense to leave the door open for cross gen for a good while.
The tech between the systems in terms of base architecture and APIs and stuff is basically the same/similar and while there's a good power gap, it's also not as drastic as previous generations.
Keep things available to a much wider userbase

I get why they dropped PS3 so hard, but honestly if you look at the difference between SIE games PS3/4 crossgen vs PS4/5 cross gen its pretty stark. LBP3 and MLB was it.
Bruh this is getting annoying, cross gen in 2022 was already pushing it, let the PS4 rest at once it had it's time already
I have hope that TLOU Pt1 was preparing people for exclusive Factions 2, I can't imagine it will be easy to reach the level design and visual goals established by Pt2 in a multiplayer setting on PS4 at a scale beyond Factions 1
