[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 8506845, member: 32303"] Are you sure? When learning about project design I was told always always always have a specification... and they were right. The one time, of many occasions I forwent this wisdom, that it did not come back to bite me in the arse was when I was doing work for reasonable people (something of a rarity in some of my circles). Part of that is a timeframe/schedule of works. They then either failed to do a proper estimate, failed to work at the required/stated rate or encountered some unexpected troubles (and failed to allow some flexibility to fix it). Given the nature of their development this last few years I am not inclined to believe the latter is too troubling. I will have to look at how many of their games came in over budget but if that is the case then the execs were still prepared to stump up some more cash as well. Similarly they are the ones that made the games that did not sell. It could be that some moron marketing department decided that the kids were into [this] and did them in that way, or it could have been directed from on high by the execs (rare as I imagine it is more of a pitch and sequel type affair). Similarly given that we have had fantastic games come out of rather dysfunctional environments, seemingly for far lower budgets (how many a late PS2/early 360 era dev would have loved to have even half of what a potentially flagship title would get today?) and far more restricted hardware then. It could be that there is a single location to lay blame but from where I sit there looks to be lots to go around everywhere. If I am going to absolve the low level workers of anything then I am going to need something more. Have you seen Pantheon? I have never been one for MMOs (much much prefer local co-op here) but that actually has me excited for something for the first time in a very long time. [/QUOTE]

only ps5 updated to latest firmware can go on psn, jailbroken ones just don't use psn or they risk getting flagged or banned, altho spouting profanity in online play alredy does that
