Now that Sony has 350 developers, will 989 be replaced by someone else.........

I don\'t like the Syphon Filter series either, so pretty much I detest 989. Sony needs to replace them fast.
As for 100 first party developers? That seems quite a bit high.

Syphon Filter was a really cool game IMO.

I don\'t think Sony has 100 1st party developers though. I wouldn\'t have heard of the 90 or so, in that case.

I always thought that 989 was a good PS1 developer.  Siphon Filter 1 and 2 rocked, Gameday (until last year) was always fresh and innovative and Jet Moto always brought a smile to my face.  Here\'s where things get ugly though...

In my opinion any company\'s 1st party titles SHOULD BE absolutely stellar work for their consoles.  After all, if your own company cannot make a good looking/playing game for their own system what does that say to the rest of the gaming community.  Gameday for the PS2 SHOULD HAVE totally blown Madden out of the water or it should have never been released.  Now we have Gamebreaker and Final Four coming out.  Two more pieces of **** from 989.  Hey, if they are not capable of handling the PS2 and making true showcase titles they should stick to the PS1 or Sony should sell them off and get in a developer that can make their new console look like the powerhouse they say it is.

I am really starting to believe that Sony is not taking the PS2 or this round of console wars as seriously as it took their initial entry into the market over 6 years ago.  They better get on the ball or they are going to get their asses kicked by Nintendo, M$ and Sega.  They almost appear to be asleep at the wheel.  

Anyway, enough of my ranting.  Bottom line: 989 - deliver some HIGH quality titles or pack your sorry asses up and get the hell out of console game developing.
