Megaton if true

Overstating things a bit no?

Megaton is an existing popular multiplat franchise going exclusive, or an existing popular exclusive franchise going multiplat, at the begoinning of a new generation.

This is a new IP from a new developer, with some guys who have a good reputation for multiplayer FPS.

It is for sure a very good grab by MS. What surprises me though is not that they got PS4 shut out, but that they've shut out the PC too (right?).

For me, one less FPS franchise on Playstation is good news.

I actually hope the next generation is the generation of something other than FPS.

Please not JPRGs...  And why is one less FPS franchise good? I thought Playstation was always strong because of variety...

Well yeah, but there's zero danger of that happening. I like JRPGs more than FPS (FP anything actually...looking at you Elder Scrolls), but it's not exactly a favourite genre. Technically 2 of my favourite games of the current generation are JRPGs, though Demon's Souls is about as J as Dragon Age Origins. And Valkyria Chronicles is more turn based strategy than JRPG.

Playstation can be strong on variety without this franchise. It'll have Killzone as an exclusive for the hardcore FPS fan, annual Battlefield and CoD for the softcocks, and whatever Bungie has in mind for nextgen. Plus loads of other generic FPS that a whole bunch of studios are going to push out in the hopes of catching some of the CoD fever. Sony has to feed the FPS beast but there's more than enough to go around just with current generation carry overs. A shame for Sony Resistance turned from a flagship into a flop.
