The Sorry State of Microsoft's First Party

A 30 person team that did digital only games goes indie and everyone loses their minds. Meanwhile Sony Online entertainment exodus of 1500 employees and the gutting of Suckerpunch and Evolution is glossed over.

All we know is MS has Forza and Halo this holiday and Sony has nothing...for yet another year.

When did Infamous: Second Son cease to exist? Oh and MLB The Show, for those who like it? What quality new titles have MS' first party studios made up to now on X1 aside from Forza 5 & 6? I can't think of any.

According to TC, Suckerpunch and Sony San Diego are Infamous/MLB slaves. Neither is a new IP and Sony doen't own the latter. Despite the fact people may enjoy them, they don't count. In fact we can also discount Uncharted/TLoU, Killzone : SF, any god of war or Gran Turismo that may be announced, the last guardian (it's Ico 3) Gravity Rush 2 since they aren't new IP. Anything built for a VR headset like SCE Cambridge or SCE Londons game or Northwest Studios gam also doesn't count.

Since it's first party only we can't count games developed by non-owned entities, so The Order, Bloodborne, Until Dawn don't count.

So.

Sonys output thus far is

Driveclub - Killed the Studio

Knack

That's it.

Maybe looking ahead, you have a whopping 3 more in Dreams, Horizon and SCE Bends game, but little else.

Sorry, TC's rules.

 

 

 

 

Nobody cares if you have 1st parties if your winning.
