@Godot25 Yea Its crazy. Theirs no way Sony can stay at the top forever with that kind of output from MS. Hell I haven't had an Xbox since the 360 and im even starting to pique over the fence, lol.
Yea and there co-developing and an Xbox game. Man MS isn't playing around anyone. They have so much in development it's almost overwhelming. Sonys output is almost laughable now in comparison.
I mean...thats a nice gesture and certainly helps this to not be a never play, but the style of game it is just isn't for me. Maybe I'll try it out one day when I can get it for a deep discount. Plus it depends on how grindy the platinum is of course, lol.
@MrMagic Oh so you're one of them...I see. Well let me catch you up real quick. Not that you'll care because it seems you're happy with whatever you get, but we are going into year 4 of the PS5 gen and over half of Sonys studios haven't even released one game. I dont know about you, but I don't buy one console to just play games I could play anywhere else eventually. So yes me personally I'm not happy with Sonys output atm, but to each his own. 🤷♂️
@MrMagic Release dates for what.....Concord???? Because that's the only first party game I see. Do not mention Stellar Blade/Rise of the Ronin or any other 3RD PARTY game Sony pays to mask as a timed first party game. I am talking 1st party ONLY.
How much you wanna bet its just 15 games that are already announced, and if there is something new don't expect to hear anything new from Sonys first parties.
Good to know. Because some of these fighting games trophy requirements are ridiculous. I like playing them for nostalgic reasons, but don't want to be made to be a master class at the game for a platinum.
There needs to be one (and I mean I good one) because Xbox is already doing a Developer Direct next week and it looks like it's going to be showing alot of interesting stuff. I swear MS is really firing on all cylinders rn with the game announcements.
You can see Microsoft slowly shifting more into a publisher and less worried about the console race. I think its cool. I'd love to play some Halo or Gears of War on PS5.
@naruball I'm not saying the few games they've put out are trash, but the amount is. 2023 for example had one first party game release and this year looks even worse.
Yea I purchased Bill & Ted before it was delisted and didn't receive anything. I opened a ticket with customer service and the way the rep was talking it sounded like it's a wide spread thing.
@nomither6 lol yea but that 50 million is from them riding off the good will from the PS4. Between now and 2027 or whenever the PS6 comes out I have a feeling MS will start to sway to market there way. Like I said in my OP it's this is the first time in 10 years I'm starting to look over the fence.
@zhoont I wouldn't hold my breath. You won't see that version of Sony again till the pendulum starts to swing back in Microsofts direction. Which I do predict will happen by the end of this generation with the amount of exclusives MS will have compared to Sony.
@Porco I agree, and I guess Sony will just have to learn there lesson the hard way. I believe this is just the beginning. Imo Fairgames and Concord will probably both fail as well. Sony will definitely lose alot of ground to MS over the next five years. They will have droves of exclusives while the Sony faithful probably get maybe one single player game a year. What Sony has put out up till last year was the tail end of Shawn Laydens time. This year was a joke with just Spiderman coming from Sonys first party studios and I fear it will be worse in the coming years. Like you said the effect Ryan had on Sony will be seen over the next few years.

God I want to see Embracer fall. I'll never and I repeat ever buy anything published by them again.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?
Franchise is way too over saturated for me to ever feel like jumping in.
Re: The Day Before Dev Resurfaces, Blames Failure on 'Gold Rush' of Negative Takes
Doesn't change the fact that the game was sh#t
Re: Tekken 8's Trophy List Provides a Pretty Easy Platinum
Good to know. Because some of these fighting games trophy requirements are ridiculous. I like playing them for nostalgic reasons, but don't want to be made to be a master class at the game for a platinum.
Re: RPG Dev Piranha Bytes Struggling to Find a Publisher for Next Game
I'm not surprised. Their games are a dated looking buggy mess. I wouldn't want to publish anything from them.
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Removes New Game +, Puts It Behind a DLC Paywall
Yet this fan base will glady open there wallets to support this franchise. So why wouldn't Sega do it.
Re: Of Course Full Price Remake Persona 3 Reload Has a Full Spread of Day One DLC
They do this because they know the sheep will gladly open their wallets for this content that should already be in the game.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered?
Nope! I would never pay for a remaster of a game that came out three years ago.
Re: PS Plus Extra Loses Another 10 PS4 Games Next Month

Re: Big List of Tomb Raider Remastered PS5, PS4 Upgrades Revealed

Re: Foamstars Releases 6th February as a PS Plus Essential Game
Pass...I still won't even add this to my library, lol. They knew this game would fail if they didn't do this.
Re: Suicide Squad Teases Major Post-Launch Support, 'Hundreds' of Build Combinations
@Pixipantalon Tell me you've never played a live service game without telling me you've never played a live service game, lol.
Re: Suicide Squad Teases Major Post-Launch Support, 'Hundreds' of Build Combinations
No one gives a crap about your different builds. The game will fail and they'll probably not learn there lesson till they're shutdown.
Re: Rocksteady Lifts Suicide Squad Alpha NDA in Apparent Bid to Counter Damning Previews
Put this sad live service trash out of its misery.
Re: PS1's Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare Is Almost Certainly Haunting PS Plus Premium
Man I wish these 3rd party classics were getting trophies.
Re: Roblox Now Has a Handful of PS4 Trophies to Unlock
Bought time they added them.
Re: Sounds Like Sony's Next State of Play Livestream Isn't Far Away
There needs to be one (and I mean I good one) because Xbox is already doing a Developer Direct next week and it looks like it's going to be showing alot of interesting stuff. I swear MS is really firing on all cylinders rn with the game announcements.
Re: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Previews Are Far from Positive
The game is going to fail and will probably see it on Plus within the first year. Nobody wants these type of games anymore.
Re: Rumour: Sea of Thieves Might Be One More Xbox Game Coming to PS5
You can see Microsoft slowly shifting more into a publisher and less worried about the console race. I think its cool. I'd love to play some Halo or Gears of War on PS5.

Re: Podcast Chit-Chat Prompts Fresh Xbox First-Party on PS5, PS4 Rumours
@TrickyDicky99 You nailed it. The first party output the last two years has been trash, and the pivot to GaaS will make the years to come even worse.
Re: 30 PS5, PS4 Indie Games to Watch Out for in 2024
Best kind of articles this site puts out. Good break from the flood of Japanese game coverage we always get.
Re: Deals: PlayStation Direct Slashes Prices of Games and Accessories in January Sale (UK)
Pretty stupid this is just in the UK.
Re: PS Stars Teething Troubles Prevent Holiday Spenders from Earning PS5, PS4 Loyalty Points
@Hundred_Hand_Slap Win and we're in. Crazy we're in the same situation we were in last year.

Re: PS Stars Teething Troubles Prevent Holiday Spenders from Earning PS5, PS4 Loyalty Points
Yea I purchased Bill & Ted before it was delisted and didn't receive anything. I opened a ticket with customer service and the way the rep was talking it sounded like it's a wide spread thing.
Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Marvel's Spider-Man 2
Who would've guessed it. A Playstation game getting GOTY on a Playstation website. 🤯🙄
Re: Bill & Ted's Excellent Retro Collection Will Be Removed from PS5, PS4 Very Soon
Thanks for this article. I actually wanted to pick this up.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for January 2024 Announced
Fantastic month! All three choices are great.
Re: Talking Point: Is Bungie Really the Right Developer to Aid Sony's Live-Service Push?
@nomither6 lol yea but that 50 million is from them riding off the good will from the PS4. Between now and 2027 or whenever the PS6 comes out I have a feeling MS will start to sway to market there way. Like I said in my OP it's this is the first time in 10 years I'm starting to look over the fence.
Re: Talking Point: Is Bungie Really the Right Developer to Aid Sony's Live-Service Push?
@nomither6 I couldn't have said it better myself. PS5 is definitely the worst generation so far, and looking ahead it seems it will only get worse.
Re: New Chinese Rules Could Change Some of PS5, PS4's Biggest Games
Good. There should be more of this.
Re: Future Looking Bright for Fallout 76 and Its Legions of Players
I dont care what add ons they do. This game felt repetitive and stale after awhile. Pretty much par for the course with a live service game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 507
F.E.A.R. 3 and Gotham Knights.
Re: PS Studios and Many More Spread Some Yuletide Cheer with Festive Cards
I think Bend Studio's is my favorite.

Re: The Last of Us Multiplayer Project Is Officially Cancelled
It's music to my ears. The more of these live service games that die the better. Single player through and through!
Re: Disney Doesn't Think It Was 'Overly Exclusionary' to Cut Planned PS5 Version of Indiana Jones
They'll have regrets when they see how few amount of copies they sell.
