Same here. It's like all of Sony's studios thought 'if Naughty Dog can do it, so can we', but nah, it doesn't work like that. What you end up getting is Sub-Ubisoft action adventures with nothing new brought to the table. Anyone expecting Days Gone to be anything more than what EA or Ubisoft ship out on an annual basis is to be dissappointed, trust me.

Santa Monica will undoubtedly fail at trying to be as clever as Naughty Dog when it comes to subtext in the characters and stuff like that, in that bracket only Rockstar fly with ND. SM don't have a history with well told stories and good character writing, why should I be excited about this games story? They've fucked with the gameplay and give us Ryse 2, it's insane.

On the other hand Sony's consoles get a whole lot more than their studios stuff, and thank God for that, because the truth of the matter is Sony's studios just aren't that good.

I'm willing to bet by the time this generation is over Sony studios will have the most 90+ rated games on metacritic, and also the most number of new hit IPs. Sony has the best studios in the industry right now by a huge margin.

Nintendo have the best studios in the industry. Watch the two Goty contenders be Zelda and Mario, just the way it's going to be. Horizon might win Goty at Kinda Funny Games or Push Square, but the industry at large will favor Nintendos stuff, because Nintendo have more creative developers, that's truth mayne.

Now when you say Sony's studios, From Software, Insomniac, Atlus don't count. And literally when you take Uncharted 4 out of the picture, none of Sony's studios have a 90+ metacritic game this gen. Nintendo have had 4 since 2012, Sony have had 1 since 2013. There's literally no evidence to support that Sony's studios are the best by any margin, huge or not. At least some exists for Nintendo, hell, Blizzard alone has more 90+ metacritic games released this gen than all of Sony's studios. GoW might do it because muh flagship franchise, The Last Of Us 2 definately will (which will probably be genuinely awesome) but beyond those two, what else? Fucking Days Gone?

Playstation 4 is the best console this gen, but it's not because of Sony's internal studios.
