I didn't see any mention of a demo in there. Games need demos...especially new IPs.
Interesting choice of words
"We are not a big corporation. Our business relies on selling games, and we didn't sell enough games. And that forced me to make that decision, which, it was really unfortunate."
Seems to indicate if they were a big corp, they would be able to cut costs and absorb the losses.
He didn't have to mention that they are not a big corporation as it implies if they were, then maybe things would be different.
True, but even big companies like square, EA or Ubisoft have done or will do similar things, no? Could they have avoided it if they had done a game preview for a few years?
The issue isn't big or small. The issue is this was their first game and it flopped. End of.
EA closed Visceral Games.
Sony closed the Motorstorm devs studio.
Square Enix sold studios.
Activision closed down Neversoft.
Just a few of many, many examples of how big corp or little upstart has little bearing on the conversation.
Most studios, like Dice, for example have a slew of hits, Battlefield, Burnout, NFS, that give them more room when a failure occurs.
Finished. Great game. Enjoyed thoroughly. I'd have it in my top 3 for 2023.
By no means bad just not great.
Side note it has a piece of music that plays throughout the game which is great.

The gameplay trailer at Sony's showcase just before it's release killed my interest as they managed to make it look dull.
It's cheap now though and worth that price.

Didn't this game launch right in the middle of a bunch of big launches last year? Honestly I don't even know a thing about this game, it just got lost in the shuffle.
Yeah, it did. I saw it on trial and saw a couple of decent reviews. During the trial period, I liked the game a lot and enough to buy it.
Tried it on PS+ premium and liked it enough to buy it since it was 55% off. I know I say this a lot but I think it would have been better in 3rd person lol.
Its not a terrible game. Its actually pretty fun once you get into it. But I think it came out at a bad time and was not critically lauded.
Again, it didn't look good. If you actually look a lot of the people who say it wasn't bad are people who either tried it via a demo (where is this), the PS+ Premium trial or bought it at a large discount.
Marketing killed this game.
