Those are games that +thousands of fans been begging for, for nearly a decade. Sony delivered, and captured the gamers spirits.

But FF7 doesn't belong to them....no more then Tomb Raider belongs to XBox fans. Still find it difficult to believe that Sony saying The Last Guardian still exists counts as a megaton.

But hey, if that's what you guys want, then more power to ya. But in all that glamour, they kinda left the rest of this year in the hands of third parties, while MS has a stacked lineup and is bringing backwards compatibility.

Guess what I'm trying to say is that MS used to be criticized for leaving some years barren only to focus on the next one, as well as relying on third parties. MS is announcing 2016+ things, but also giving us things in the near future. Sony is banking on the idea of what the future will bring, while taking it easy now just because they are the market leader. Just my persepctive, but ok I see your points.

I think thats quite a sweeping statement. I mean they showed The Last Guardian, which they've been working on and off since 2011, which most companies would have binned by now. Horizon, an open world RPG which has obviously had a lot of time/effort and money put into it. MM making some weird *ss stuff, more than 2 years, which lets be honest isnt something I would have bankrolled. Then you have UC4 which looks like it pushes 3rd person shooters to the next level and has been in development for a while. Have God of War remaster, Uncharted collection this year, as well as Until Dawn. They have a multitude of other studios making stuff which are not ready yet.

So I dont think you can say they taking it easy, Game development is hard, it's not like they are sitting on their hands counting the cash.

Well it is no secret that Sony 1st party studios far outnumber MS's, to see Sony leaving 2015 in the hands of mostly remakes and 3rd parties, while moving their big guns to 2016, while MS is actually making sure every year has a fair number of big titles, is a big shift from last gen.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
