Fair enough you sound a very busy man as it is.

@Ken_Kaniff
You could always get a series s as a second console with GP.

@Ken_Kaniff
Series x is ok at the minute. I have game pass and lords of the fallen has just landed so trying that and Jedi survivor.
Will come in handy for Avowed and Indy this year and will play the COD campaign. First one in years.

@GymratAmarillo
I liked spending money on things then moaning about it. 🤣

@Ken_Kaniff
I feel your pain as been with Sony since ps1 as well as the other consoles.
So far my worst PS generation thus far.
PS5 last year was my least played console out of all three and it’s heading that way again in 2024.

@Ilyn
Hope you are right, as I have all 3 consoles and Mr PS5 isn’t looking the most played again for a second year running.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner
Taking out multi platform games and online only games.
For me it was just Astro bots 🤖
So that’s since HFW DLC and then spider man 2 for me nothing from Sony Studios AAA.
So 2023 was quiet for me and 2024 even more so from Sony Studios big AAA campaign games.

@Ilyn
I would have thought they would have something ready for 12 months time. So that takes us into May ish 2025 before we get anything from Sony Studios AAA. If we go by what you say.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner
They showed 5 games that are Xbox games as well, same release date.
They could have given a couple of little teasers for say the new ND game or Ghost of T 2.

Sony used to whip me into and unbelievably excited frenzy in the PS4 days with their big studio AAA games. Now I’m like a limp lettuce leaf 🥬 🤣

@OneWingedAngel
Cruise control, if they get anymore calm and chilled they will all be moving backwards.

I think it is so much more about the money more than ever, I know they are all a business etc.
But I think nowadays every single penny is counted and analysis is undertaken prior to anything getting started.

I was one of those that helped build the brand all the way back to the PS1 days.
I think the best for me so far was the PS3 once it got going to PS4 of course.
Being brought up on some totally amazing Sony studio AAA campaign games.

Even this PS5 generation has been a lot of cross generation as well and some remasters.

Seems my Sony glory days have passed for now, but hopefully they will be back one day.

I come on here and say give me the xbox360 days.
Now I’m saying give me the PS4 days instead of PS5.
It’s amazing how the consoles themselves are way more expensive. Same time line PS4 and Xbox one around £290 about now.
Games cheaper even digitally and lots more big AAA games around.
So it’s good old pay more get less syndrome.

Oh well I think I can safely say after watching that.
Unless Sony have something else for this year and maybe Nintendo my year 2024 is now set.

Depending on MS delivering.
Star Wars outlaws
Assassin creed
Avowed on GP
Indy on GP
COD on GP

Well me thinks we won’t see the PS5 Pro in 2024 if it does exist.
No new big Sony studio AAA game to show it off with.
Maybe 2025 who knows with these companies.
I thought last years wasn’t good for my Sony Studio campaign AAA games but this year must be so far unless we get a major surprise my lowest ever PlayStation year I can remember.

@GamingFan4Lyf
I don’t think we will know the real reason, some used to say because of the ABK deal going through.
Though god knows what the excuse was before that started.
I just think they don’t want to and that is that.

Will be interesting to see if they advertise COD for Xbox and console bundles etc and main stream tv advertising like Sony used to do with COD, making the game almost look like a PlayStation exclusive.
If we see none of this for COD this year then Xbox advertising and PR is sort of lost in space.

Sony sure knows how to PR and with football.
Also the same weekend console prices etc have their prices dropped.

They make marketing and advertising seem so simple and common sense, especially as Xbox seem not to have a clue.
Nintendo are ok at it as well.

Yep, Spider-Man, Hogwarts or Star Wars, you are normally onto a winner there.
That or a top Nintendo franchise.

Just to clarify new big AAA single player campaign games for second part of this year 2024 and not remasters of old games etc.
Third party confirmed dates given for:
Star Wars outlaws
Assassins creed

This year with all three major players I’m keeping my expectations low and in check.
I’m a big AAA single player campaign player, so we shall just have to wait and see.
I definitely don’t have any hopes from the big 3 on this and it’s seems third party will be the only ones delivering on AAA single player campaign games this year 2024.

Would be better for all 3 consoles were doing very well for us gamers.
As it makes each of them perform better both for games releasing wise and customer satisfaction.
Would also help with prices as well coming down.
Domination by one is not great.

@Stickleman
Lots forget both are business and out to make the money and please the share holders.
They both in different ways as bad as each other, bless them 🤣

I don’t understand why any PlayStation gamer on this site is bothered or concerned if it is day one on game pass.
Nothing has changed for PlayStation gamers, they just buy it as before. So can Xbox gamers buy the game if they want as well. Or have or join game pass.
No one needs to be worried if it’s good or bad for Microsoft, that’s not of any PlayStations gamers concern.

The only very very very tiny thing for Sony is some like me that have all three consoles and game pass, will probably just play on Game pass and not buy for their PS5, which they may have done.
But that will be very far and few and not really a concern at all.

Why worry about it, just enjoy the game on whatever device and how you wish to play.
Leave the money stuff to the companies.

@DNortonX
You are spot on and well called out.

I can’t ask for anymore than GP day one and a trailer with Mrs Thatcher in 😊

@2here2there
Yes I think it is something like that.
Business is business.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Think you could very well be right there, but only time will tell.
However I’m not sure I want just a Lord Sony PlayStation world.
They can be funny at best of times without them being a superpower god.

Well they might as well get more for producing game that will definitely sell well on PS5, probably be a switch 2 version further down the line.
I own all three consoles so I don’t really mind.
I have game pass so I get it day one with my subscription and I think releasing on other platforms will help game pass keep getting those games day one due to the returns on investment releasing on PS5 and maybe switch 2.

I know Sony make money selling consoles and it’s different for them to keep their exclusives tight to their console base.

One day in future we might see all games all consoles, but I definitely can’t see Nintendo doing it.

@GymratAmarillo
I guess I got a PS5 on the expectations from the PS4 days. And so far the PS5 overall has been lacking those big AAA studio games especially just for PS5 and not cross generation.

Yes just because I paid for it doesn’t mean I can’t complain so far it hasn’t meet with my expectations.

@UltimateOtaku91
I was talking to a mate earlier PS5 and Switch owner, this new generation PS5 and Series x have been my most disappointing so far after nearly 4 years in.
Switch made my 2023 in the end.

@UltimateOtaku91
I tired Stellar blade demo didn’t like.
Tried FF7 rebirth demo didn’t like.
Not into online gaming.
I have PS5 for what I had a PS3 and PS4 for.
The big Sony AAA like GOWR, HFW, GOT, R&clank, uncharted etc.
bit of a bad time for at the moment 🤣

@UltimateOtaku91
I would thought this year made by Asobi who are independent. So they will have a lot of game assets etc from playroom.
I need cheering up on the PS5 front, not really settled on their games so far this year.

Thank god it’s PS5 and hopefully release this year.
Astros play room was great if not short but came with the console.
Would be great to have a 20 hours Astro bot 🤖 platform adventure.

We need something from Sony this year 2024.

@playstation1995
Playing uncharted 4 PS5 enhanced.
Makes you want another even more.
Should have been made and near release by now, but everything seems so slow in development world of late.

@twitchtvpat
Well hopefully so, but so much talk and chat and rumours about from the internet and developers.
They just need to get on and produce.
Feed me those amazing AAA games. 🤣

Yes all lovely and so much talk from lots of developers of late.
How about some dam big AAA campaign games.

Give me Uncharted, the new beginning with Drakes Daughter.

Come on Sony and ND I have a PS5 for a reason like PS3 and PS4 your amazing exclusives.

@NEStalgia
“ It's video games, dude. You're supposed to play them.”
You are spot on and well said.

God knows what it will do to the games that get made.
But all call me old fashioned but I want the best graphics etc and best gameplay like Sony used to make for this generation.
Give me, uncharted, GOW, HFW, last of us, ghost of T, ratchet and clank etc. The list goes on, the reasons I had a PS3, PS4 and a PS5. Don’t change too much Sony.

Just make amazing looking games with amazing spot on gameplay and precise controls.

Don’t waste your time with half the stuff you think we want, just like you did with GAAS.

I’m currently playing whilst writing this Uncharted 4 PS5 enhanced version.
This is why I’m with PS5 get back to basics, that made you great in the first place.

There are a few reasons while you 5 million behind PS4 same time line in Europe.
One is, give us those games and the Sony advertising and PR like you used to.

Let’s hope it brings us some big guns from Sony Studios, especially as they are quiet at the moment.

It’s been many years since their last big release and they are a massive studio.
And not being funny it best not be a Hell Blade 2
All show and absolutely no game play etc.
it always worries when they say about blurring the lines between games and movies.

@UltimateOtaku91
Yes GOT PS5 is a lovely looking game.
I don’t think until Sony gives some new AAA from their studios we will see better looking games.
And as they are quiet until say April 2025 I hoping for something very special.

@DennisReynolds
If I stand still or move slowly in Avatar I would agree.
But even in performance mode, motion blur off, VRR on and using a Sony X95L TV. I find when panning around at a bit more speed the blur is terrible and it turns into a bit of mess.

@DennisReynolds
HFW on PS5 is still overall when you take everything into account the best looking game on the PS5 and on any console.

Well I have a PS5 slim now but I’m always day one anyway.
In the UK I think the PS4 at the same life cycle as the PS5 was about £290 not £480 like the PS5 is.

Also being honest, where are the PS5 only games that take full advantage of the PS5.
By now we should have one amazing Naughty Dog PS5 only big AAA title to amaze us and maybe more from other Sony studios.
They made some wrong choices a few years ago GAAS etc and now they paying for it.

Give gamers a reason to upgrade to PS5 then they might do.

@UltimateOtaku91
It definitely won’t make any difference at all in the UK, Germany and Europe.
The only way Xbox could gain a small amount of ground console sales wise on PS5 is if COD was exclusive to Xbox consoles etc and not on PS5
Then it would be a small amount.

Xbox would have to totally also need to cut the series x price to about £350, COD exclusive to Xbox and advertise very well and do bundles.
Then they might gain a bit more on PS5 console sales.
The poor Xbox console is almost dead in Europe.

In the USA they would stand a far better chance of gaining ground on PS5 sales.

@MrBook
Yes I do get that feeling as well but in the UK I know a few PS5 owners that always get COD, FIFA and the other odd sports title and game.
But they definitely don’t play the games I like.
The big AAA exclusives like last of us 2, GOWR and Uncharted etc.
so I’m not sure really overall.

@GamingFan4Lyf
They were PS4 then moved to PS5 of course.
I just asked about 4 of them for fun, as I saw them together one day.

Xbox lost the FIFA and COD crowd at the PS4 era as Sony very cleverly took the advertising rights of Xbox after the xbox360 era. So lots switched to PS4 because Sony advertised well on TV and with bundles making it look like COD and FIFA were PS4 only. That was pure Sony advertising genius.

@MrBook
I don’t care either way. I just thought I would ask them for fun.
I’m to old to worry about COD and what console nowadays.

Had a chat a work with the younger serious COD PS5 crowd and asked them what would they do if COD was Xbox exclusive.
Their response in a second was. Buy a series X.
Interesting but I don’t think Microsoft want to do or even think about risking that, not that they can because of the deal anyway.

I think that’s the right thing to do, especially has I have GAME PASS and something they have always said. Microsoft Studios all games day one and now ABK is they should do that, the same when they purchased Bethesda etc.
