Unprecedented? Please look forward to it? Déjà vu anyone?
Though to be serious, it does seem like first party have received their wake up call. Emphasis on the seem, there are some studios that have been in hiding for far too long. At least two (different) games will be delayed.
@TurmoilingPoint
Same situation, but instead it's nothing but Nintendo games (very limited in genre), various JRPGs & a sea of shovelware. If Pokemon were still good, it wouldn't be gathering dust.
PS4? Games are what sell me on a console, not sales (they may be related but not with my purchasing decision). It is not my fault that both handhelds are very limited in their games lineup.
So long as they can see it, it's not a problem. It they didn't I'd palm it off as PR blindness. For the moment, it's 2016 >>> 2015 >> 2014 (they latter years might be clashed).
@rjejr The pretend exclusive strikes again! Good luck on your PS4 purchase in 20XX...
You might need to pass this wish on within the family.
Final Fantasy VII, R&C, Uncharted 4 & Ni No Kuni 2. That's it, that's all that was worth staying for. Worse than Paris Game Show. So much VR & Indies. How can you end a show like that?
E3 >>>> TGS >>> PGS > PSX. I did say third party would take precedence.
You can't deny they showed off new stuff. You can't deny that the first half hour was approved. You can't deny that your emotions wasn't fulfilled. You can't deny that Dreams was apparently scary. You also can't deny that the influence The Last Of Us multiplayer had on the making of its successor The Last of Us - Uncharted Multiplayer.
It wasn't bad nor was it terribly good, it was just rock solid.
@stevie85 The point? That's precisely what this story is about, I've never heard the tag line "A Hideo Kojima Game" uttered so much in this series' history, and to be honest it's getting annoying (and shows people know who MGS5 is by). Kojima did a lot, I don't deny that.
But he (and the staff) is still getting credit where credit is due. Konami and Kojima are going on different paths. Nothing can be done about the Bad Blood, it happened, they've accepted their destiny.

Oh good, I'm not the only one thinks that...
You lot act as if his name has been scrubbed off the credits (including post mission/end credits), only then this wouldn't seem so pathetic. You also act as if Portable Ops & the Ac!d series doesn't exist. His name was just taken off the box and promotional materials, that's it.
@rjejr I read it, laugh it off and then delete it...
"post about how surprised I am it's sold so well w/o any exclusive games besides Bloodborne" Fixed that for you, it's the only exclusive worth mentioning (unless you include PS Exclusives). I'm mostly over it.

If only I had your willpower, I'd already caved and bought one last week.
Re: A Very Happy Fourth Birthday to Our Fave Handheld, PS Vita
@TurmoilingPoint
Not having an interest in a sea of JRPGs, Indies and a handful of western ports equals nothing worth celebrating about. To me.
Re: A Very Happy Fourth Birthday to Our Fave Handheld, PS Vita
A shame there's nothing worth celebrating about...
@Jayvir
Sales confirm nothing and both handhelds are the worst in their line of generations.

I suppose "meh" is as close as I'm going to get to rock solid.
Re: Reaction: Poorly Paced Paris Presser Paves Way for PS4's Impressive 2016
It was a rock solid show... At a point.

Get rid of all touch based gameplay, that one sequence haunts me.
