The most hilarious part of this is that Sony had so much goddamn faith in this turd that they got it included in the Secret Level anthology show that’s coming to Amazon Prime Video. It’s going to be the most hilariously awkward thing if that episode airs while the game is dead.
And the saddest thing is, there’s tons of IP’s in Sony’s catalog that people would have actually have been excited to see adapted. But no, Sony’s hubris fucked it up.
Most rational option at this point, throw another 20 million on it and revamp the systems and marketing.
Although the actual smart reaction would be stop putting all $200 million eggs in one basket and once a new IP takes off from your multiple smaller projects (bets), THEN make a sequel that costs more.
