Remasters aren't bad, but having the one major summer first-party game be one is.

I'm talking about a season, not the entire year. I found fall, winter, and spring to be perfectly acceptable in content, just not this summer.

And yeah, I'm gonna speak out if I'm not seeing the type of games I play on my console. Why not? Isn't that how companies gauge the market?

And just because a console is dominating doesn't mean that it has the best software. Even as a PS4 owner, I can say that up to this point Nintendo has easily outpaced Sony in terms of first-party games, even if you only take into account the first year of both consoles. If you believe that the PS4 is perfect in terms of library, power to you. You have no right to judge what kind of games I like. Not the entire fanbase is appeased by a year-old remaster.

That's great, still don't care.  Don't buy it in the first 12 months if you can't handle the dry spells.  You can say whatever you like...and yet, I still don't care. :)  More people appear to be appeased than not, so...that's all I really care about.

Alright, it's fine that you don't care, but in that case mind your own business instead of telling me when I should buy my consoles. I've never had this bad of a summer with a new console, and I've bought plenty of consoles release-day.

I think you should learn to wait for games to come. AAA games aren't made in a month or even a year or two, so you can't just expect them to come out regularly.

Besides, unlike Nintendo consoles, PlayStation consoles are about both first-party and third-party games, not just first-party games, and you should look at it that way. That is the kind of ecosystem of a PS console.

But if ALL what you want is Sony first-party games, you will have to wait only till October, when they will slowly start streamrolling in. Just look at it:

1) DriveClub (October)

2) LBP 3 (November)

3) The Order: 1886 (February)

Of course that's only the ones announced. We have yet to see all that they have in store for us.

Except Sony had years before the PS4 was released to do planning and development. Even in previous gens the summer spell wasn't quite so bad that the only major first-party game was a remaster.

And, once again, I know there are more games on the way. I'm referring to the 4 months of June-September that Sony seemed to have ignored for the most part.
