What is Sony seeing that gives them this much confidence in ANOTHER shooter after Marathon's obvious flop

>Sony's new extraction shooter to compete with their other extraction shooter to compete with their other live service shooter (that would have all been competing with Concord had that shooter also succeed)
Sony took all that money for cinematic sad dad games and turned it into this. A literal money furnace.

There's that shade of purple they fucking love so much for some reason.

It's insane that Jim Ryan was (rightfully) ousted from Playstation while Hermen Hulst was only "demoted" right back into basically the same position he had that allowed him to directly greenlight most of these flops in the first fucking place.

Microsoft buying Activision and with it Call of Duty REALLY fucked them up. Theyve been trying to find an alternative since. They tried with BF6 but it seems like it was only short term gains for them.

Why do they do it?

For some reason the games industry falls hard as fuck for stylistic memes, every time. I think it's because the average designer involved in video games is kind of a talentless hack and doesn't have a mind's eye of his own, so he just goes along with what everyone else is doing.
Nothing new though, remember brown and bloom? Just one example of many

At this point it’s likely too late to simply cancel it and walk away empty handed. They want it out the door, slap it on life support and let it make whatever it will before they pull the plug a year or two down the road.

Damn it, while I wasn't looking they co-opted a cool colorscheme.

Bungie lost a lot of good will with how they handled Destiny 2, sunsetting content removing parts of the game you paid for to occasionally come back and be accessible again was such a gaffe.
Ironically all they needed to do was another Destiny and not fuck it up to bring back those disenfranchised but they instead cancelled the third part of a 10 year trilogy and came out of nowhere with Marathon. What a sorry state of affairs.

If blue is a boy's color, and pink is a girl's color, then that shade of purple is what you get if you merge blue and pink. The color of androgynous trannyslop

Destiny 3 would have sold like hotcakes. All the dads who were "finished" with the franchise would no doubt come crawling back like they always do
Truth is that they can't really get their fix anywhere else. Marathon is a diamond dozen

>Purple is usualy used for alien things or signs of corruption.
You are wise and identified the deeper meaning.
I'm thinking back to Dragon Age: Origins. Starcraft Zerg. The zones in WoW with fungal corruption.

Someone needs to compile a list of games that feature the color purple (in marketing, in main gameplay, doesn't matter) and regularly update it when a new one drops so that I know which games to avoid like the fucking plague.

Occupy Wallstreet. All media was revised to become an instrument of division. You can look into Larry Fink's talks about "forcing behaviors" for a public admission of it.

What >>737147646 said isn't far-fetched but there's another insidious reason. Purple is MEANT TO BE the color of regality/royalty. By using purple for their DEI slop they're trying to make you associate royalty with niggers and trannies.

My theory is that its a color that makes the game feel less grounded in reality and then you cram it full of wacky cosmetics because it compliments the artstyle. After all AAA multiplayer games these days are just vehicles to ship a ingame store these days

some redditor here was arguing that as long as it not exactly those 3 colors it's not channeling an agenda and it doesn't mean anything. . . they're as pathetic as they sound.

The latest Metroid would fit in perfectly there.
>>737143582
They used the same purple/lavender theme for the latest Metroid cover. . . a stark contrast to the past game covers.
A game who's lead writer Megain Fausti claimed Samus is trans. Not a coincidence with the color scheme appearing.

Maybe this one will be single player focused? Maybe they've finally learned that they're allowed to make normal video games that you can just buy and play without it having to be a love service?
... SIgh.

they'll keep doing it til it sticks. they can fail as many times as they want and still make a profit because of normalfags buying every fifa and nba game plus microtransactions to get their favorite nigger
