I'll admit that when I saw your response I thought you were extrapulating too much out of my comment. But I guess when I typed that comment, I was more or less thinking about the climate of games Sony was producing in regards to their unique-ness.
I both agree and disagree with you. Sony produces games like The Last Guardian(my GOTY after Overwatch last year), and Gravity Rush 2 which I still need to get to. But, I wouldn't say they produce unique games "all the time", unless you're talking about publishing 3rd parties which is obviously a different story.
Uncharted is having a 5th entry for no real reason, God of War is becoming more like the TLOU and instead of doing an amazonian theme goes for a Nordic theme(seriously...Nords are getting so tired at this point), there's another David Cage game, there's another Last of Us, and even when they took a small studio on the vita and let them publish a big budget title on the PS4, they made another zombie game ....
I think Playstation's *brand* really speaks uniqueness but that's because 3rd parties are constantly providing weird and interesting exclusive content, not Sony. I can't really blame Sony directly because it seems like they more or less just let their developers do what they want to personally do. But even Horizon disappointed me with how much it reminded me of Rise of the Tomb Raider, although I still love the unique enemy design.
The narrative hasn't changed for no reason. It's changed for a pretty good reason honestly. Sony used to be the company to jump to a new squeaky clean ship every generation and now you're seeing a continuation of the PS3 with new ips that don't offer much difference except Horizon and TLG. I guess I just feel disappointed because I owned a PS3 for a month, and in that short time I experienced so many amazing games like Uncharted or Killzone. And the PS4 took forever just to offer the same experiences, not even different ones. Although I guess this is all pointless, because we dont 'know if this game will even get attention outside china, or if it will even be a big game.

what!!!playstation always has most diverse games whether its first party or thid party.from cartoony games like knack crash rachet lbp teraway evgolf to realistic games tlou uc gow, to wierd niche games like last guardian,gr,freedom wars.can u say the same for microsoft and nintendo.on the top of that they get more third party games than ms and nintendo combined.playstion console always appeal to every type of gamer..but there are a lort of improvement to be made like making more family friendly kiddy games,online shooters and some gaas type of games.they should follow nintendo and make some small budget online shooter like splatoon or even an online ratchet and clank shooter.

I'm talking about their first party big games. Ratchet and Clank, Crash, and Knack are a step in the right direction but they're practically legacy fanservice, their not very creative and aren't a sign of PS's general exclusive line up. Gravity Rush and Last Guardian I already said. I think the problem with Playstation is that so much of their unique titles were exclusive to Vita and some are coming over as sequels(which aren't unique really) or aren't coming over at all. When it comes to creativity Sony really relies on Japan Studio and not their biggest franchises, which I think is a wrong way of thinking.
Their diversity is incredible but their heavy hitters are becoming pretty one note at this point. I don't hate PS, frankily I criticize them more than other companies becuase they can do better. They still have the best exclusive line up overall but it's not very creative i'd say.
