Side Quest, Episode 94 | PlayStation GaaS Initiative: A Logical Idea, Horribly Executed
Added 2025-02-02 17:00:16 +0000 UTCSony couldn't help but notice it was making billions of dollars a year on others' games-as-a-service, and wondered: What if we pursued this more aggressively ourselves? That makes perfect sense. But how the company went around this pursuit? Well...

2025-02-05 15:26:30 +0000 UTCThe basics still go crazy for "100s of hours of gameplay" even though I know they won't ever finish the game or it will be their only game that year. It's stupid

2025-02-04 19:35:39 +0000 UTCDoes anyone know where to find the older side quest episodes? I tried looking for them on Patreon using the side quest tag and they only went up to episode 64. If this is episode 94 then there should be some more somewhere. I also tried the apple podcast app since that's what I use most of the time and didn't find anything there either. Thanks

2025-02-03 21:40:53 +0000 UTCAre you kidding me?! I loved the videos Colin used to do early on the channel, saving in to whatever subject he wanted to discuss. Very articulate as always! Would love more content like this ❤️ Thanks for this video!

2025-02-03 20:22:50 +0000 UTCThis didn't show up on my RSS, found it completely by chance!

2025-02-03 19:48:03 +0000 UTCNot completely different, at least core gameplay wise. Just literally replace the characters with PlayStation owned ip.

2025-02-03 14:16:04 +0000 UTCFantastic job Colin! These video essays are probably a shitload of work but I bet they will attract a bunch of new eyeballs to da brand!

Lee Davies
2025-02-03 10:18:17 +0000 UTCI'm two minutes into this video, and I already know that it's better than any other video on this subject. Colin, you're such a good writer and it's great to see this type of content is back on the menu

2025-02-03 05:43:51 +0000 UTCIs this Patreon exclusive? And if so, for how long? I'd probably share it with some friends but obviously don't want to if not public yet
Jdummann92
2025-02-03 04:19:35 +0000 UTCI know they cancelled Last of Us Factions, and maybe it would look bad to change their minds, but what if they put it out for $20 or something? It feels insane at this stage they let Bungie choose their fate

2025-02-03 03:45:15 +0000 UTCGreat content!
Dave Barr
2025-02-03 03:30:58 +0000 UTCSo the game would’ve been a success if it was completely different? Okay. Hahaha
Context Should Matter
2025-02-03 01:33:24 +0000 UTCSo happy to see a side quest drop!

Anthony Palerino
2025-02-03 00:29:42 +0000 UTCI still think this game would have been a success if they would’ve just used PlayStation first party IP for the characters. No one had any attachment to the bland ass characters they made, and all you’re left with is people saying your game is a cheap rip off of overwatch. Meanwhile, marvel rivals is printing money cuz they did the same thing but used characters that people know and love already. Yeah, sometimes it’s really that simple.

2025-02-02 23:57:36 +0000 UTCWelcome back, Side Quest ❤️
Remington Wilson
2025-02-02 22:59:10 +0000 UTCI also think there is a big problem with bloated and over budget single player development. I know you say Colin that people demand bigger and better games. But how can that be when the trophy data says most people don't even finish them? Why does TLOU 2 cost 220 million to make? Why does it need to be like 25+ hours long? In the same world where Remedy can make Control for 30 million. The math isn't mathing here.

Michael Candelaria
2025-02-02 20:38:02 +0000 UTCI agree, don’t expect this often. I’d feel bad asking for more than 2, per year, considering his workload.

Directional Joy
2025-02-02 20:33:16 +0000 UTCFantastic to see this! Thanks to Colin and the editor, for all the effort. ❤️ 🫡 I know Helldivers 2 was not created as a GaaS title, but it has left me wondering about studio collaborations… I know it may not make sense for lore/setting reasons but I can’t help but imagine Microsoft collaborating on Gears of War (whether it be DLC or, more likely, a timed event, that would expire), as well as Resistance. Hell, let Bungie & MS collab on some Halo content for HD2, which would be cool because it would get closer to the origin of Halo (a 3rd person game for Apple, of all things). 🤷♂️

2025-02-02 20:12:44 +0000 UTCMore people watched this than played Concord. Sony should invest in the podcast over live service. Would make more money
