We are in the equivalent year of 2017. What are you talking about?
They were only releasing 2-3 actual first party games from their studios a year for the system. The Vita dying helped because it forced them to port those games to PS4. Mixed in all of that were published titles, remasters, and remakes.
 
It really doesn't matter; the few people here trying to be more positive about it. The consensus is that it was an awful show.

this is not only bad for the play station brand (in terms of PR) but bad for the games showcased.

There is one difference look what games were ps3 exclusive in 2013. Imagine those games being ceossgen with ps4 than suddenly the ps4 gets alot stronger 1p wise ;).

I noticed this too. Even took screenshots to make a post. Can't believe they got this DEI hire representing PS to the public.

This is the COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER.

FUCK MY LIFE.

I'm glad I'm not a huge Sony fanboy anymore, but I do wish them well. This ain't it, chief.

They both seem competent.

Should they have worn bikinis? Is that the issue?

Awful fucking show. Honestly ready to give up on Playstation myself. Stick with Switch/Switch 2 and PC. Just cannot believe how far Sont have fallen from the late PS3 days. Console gaming is in a real poor state if Xbox and playstation are the best they have got.

Awkward, timid, fidgety... both instill absolutely zero confidence in the brand.
What?

I will be honest, I don't remember them, but can you explain that part? There's nothing wrong with being timid/fidgety btw, not everyone is good at being in front of a camera. I know I wouldn't be and I am a fairly attractive 6 foot tall guy. *flexes*

The PS4 era was shitted on during its first 4 years due to a lack of 1st party games. The games that ignited the generation didn’t release until after that.
Thats utterly wrong.

you had

Knack
Drive club
Bloodborn
Uncharted 4
Infamous second sun
Until dawn
Nioh
The order

Plus more.
And then at the 4 year mark you had
God of war
Spiderman
Horizon
Last guardian and many more

8 games in 4 years is an average of 2 First Party games a year. How am I wrong? If we’re not counting Rise of the Ronin, Stellar Blade, and other games this gen as NOT being first party, we should do the same for PS4. Until Dawn and Nioh aren’t from first party studios. That drops the average.

Doesnt matter how you try to spin it.

This gen is by faaaaar the worst.

Remember that at least we got many new ip's in the ps4 era.
And what was this shows content? Days gone remaster? That was a brand new ip on ps4?

its soo fucking bad that lately all i play is psvr 2 .

You just skipped right over Housemarque’s game? That’s an actual first party studio title. Intergalactic? That’s a first party studio title too, and another new IP. Concord was a new IP as well, but it ultimately bombed.

I’m just tired of the revisionist history when it comes to that gen. The system launched with Killzone and Knack. The CEO apologized two years later because it was such a terrible lineup. The following year was Driveclub (busted launch), The Show, and Infamous Second Son. LittleBigPlanet 3 was also released, but Sumo did that entry, not Media Molecule. Dreams was their only contribution that gen.

"When Xbox holds an event, almost every game is either something they're publishing or that at least has a Game Pass deal."

Yeah because Microsoft SPENT $85 BILLION DOLLARS BUYING 2 OF THE BIGGEST 3P PUBLISHERS IN THE INDUSTRY, YOU IDIOT!! It's easy as pie to fill up a show with your own stuff when you bought entire publishers with pipelines already established, or paying out pennies to small indies for a Game Pass deal.

People are really digging into the depths of the rot to try slamming this SOP. Like damn, yes I get it they screwed over some studios because of the GAAS stuff. Are you gonna keep mentioning that every event like a broken record? Are you going to pretend there won't be other SOPs (or maybe even a Showcase) in the other ten months of the year?

And yeah I'm going kinda hard on this dude, but they're also one of "those" types, you know the ones. Going rah-rah and pushing every pro-Xbox talking point when a certain big acquisition was happening a year or two ago...the one that let Microsoft slap their name on otherwise 3P games to now say they're publishing them instead. Remember that deal? Remember the similar one with the dudes who make Elder Scrolls? I 'member.

Yeah, the comments are absolutely toxic honestly.

There was none of this when MS hosted their direct with a total of like 4 games. People reacted favorably and with far less of the shit posting hot takes despite there not being any massive IP

Wildly higher expectations for a February state of play? Double standards?

I just want to understand what i bought the pro for.

The games are now pushed for release to 2026 and beyond.

You are lucky if you get ghost of yotei this year.

Intergalactic is 2026
Last of us part 3 probably ps6 release ar this point.


Its very easy to unload on sony right now.
The pro is a waste. Pssr is trash. Third parties barely make use of the extra power.

You had astrobot but you already had it packed with the ps5 release so though great game it was more or less just an huge dlc.

But i admit psvr2 is saving my pro for now.
And i do advise everyone to get one.
Resi 4 is just a must play.

I would have given this show a 1000 out of 10 would they have showed astros rescue mission for psvr2

In my opinion MS/Sony released the hardware too early, all those difficulties of a pandemic, the devs could have been given at least another year to work on their long term projects.

Almost like many people are not happy with their first party output as of late

It’s not all a massive conspiracy though some just want to shit on the other brands they dont like.
 
There were 2 games that tickled pink.

Hell is us
Mindseye

But when do these release?

The rest was ok but not for me.

I also feel every dev is now jumping on the stellar blade wagon which we saw in this presentation.

The best looking game visually was Tides. Looks stunning on Pro

Juat reminds me of stellar blade. It looked good though.

For me it was those 2 i listed but mostly hell is us.

I am just bummed that all these come late late this year or next year.

Its ok. Tomb raider is out friday. That will keep me busy for a couple months

I gave SoP 6/10. Didn't see enough exclusive titles to make me want a PS5 and with many coming to PC why even bother.

Why do the PC stans keep repeating this nonsense? Nothing is going to convince you to get a PS5. Clearly you're going to prefer playing on your PCs, these titles will eventually come to PC, so why is it somehow some negative against the PS5 because it's not your preferred place to play all these games?

Sony released so many games on ps3 in 2013. You have to count out all the cross generation games on ps4 and ps5 as well which makes the ps5 exclusives list super tiny.

Reverse groomer.
Resign, and let new blood make video games.
Make yourself part of the new blood then.

I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying but I think you would be a much happier person if you channeled that frustration and resentment into actually making the revolutionary idea of a video game you want. Sheesh it's almost always complaining from you man

2013 was when the PS4 was released, 7 years after the release of the PS3. What are you trying to tell me?!

by who? the small echochamber of twitter and forum users?

It was a great show, new games never before seen, new first party announcement, all the games looked good or great.

If we only count AAA PS5 exclusives, the first four years were quite underwhelming. There were a lot of cross-gen games, which in the past wouldn't have been released on a new console at all. For example, God of War 2 came out two years after the PS3 launched. Additionally, all those notable 2013 games were exclusive to the PS3, highlighting the difference in how the industry approached new console releases back then.


So yes sonys output were alot better in 2013 to 2017 like srsly.
