Sony's been way too focused on making everything so mature lately. Naughty Dog made excellent games for everyone, and now they're making another M-rated explode-o-fest. Granted, a damn fine one, but one in a sea of many. Same with Sucker Punch. Sly Cooper was Nintendo-like in its charm and focus, but in no way lacking in the gameplay department, and instead they throw it away for a mature sandbox game.

 

Sony Japan's original creations this generation have been most excellent, but their other divisions seem way too focused on making flashy mature games.

I read this entire post, and I only have to ask: Why is this a bad thing?

It shouldn't really matter too much if the game is rated Mature so long as it's a great game. And Sony still releases games for everyone (in genres like platformers), so I don't see the big deal.

I don't like mature games that much. Especially when they are developed in lieu of games with a more fantastical style.

 

Granted, i hated the direction they took Jak and Daxter after doing that excellent original game, more angst and less style. They "Shadow the Hedgehog-ized" Jak before Sonic Team even bothered to do what they did.

 

HappySquirrel's point coincides with my own. A lot of Sony's games this time around are excellent for their genre, but operate very much inside the box.
