making a single player fps game was a truly awful idea for ps5 and xbox and pc
Are developers done making single player games?
Left and right game studios are laying people off with already about 6000 people out of a job in this year alone
A developer from one of these studios stated they did everything right but almost half their studio was laid off due to poor sales
they stated making Immortals of Aveum was a truly awful idea to spend $125 million for a single player AAA shooter on a new IP
They said they did everything players wanted other wise
I think they’re not entirely wrong that without being a franchise or spiritual successor you’ll need marketing like playstation with stellar blade to build hype
However There’s something to be said about AAA studios bad business planning spending so much on these games then laying people off instead of planning for the long run
If these studios really think it’s either sell a million copies or make a live service game then
ps5, nintendo, and even xbox shows you can make a successful single player triple-a game but I do agree many success comes from franchises or spiritual successor
