Just personally, I also liked the PS3 but the PS4 doesn't really appeal to me that much, and I think it's cos the main games I really liked on PS3 were Uncharted 1-3, Resistance 1-3, and Killzone 3.

PS4 doesn't have any Resistance games, and Killzone Shadowfall was just awful, so that leaves Uncharted, and PS4 only has one of those versus 3 on PS3.

What has been your favourite games on PS4 other then Uncharted?

Yeah, that's completely fair, sometimes things dont hit the mark but would you put this down to a specific direction from Sony? I mean other than games taking longer to produce. 2/3 of those franchises didn't exist on PS2 (3/3 for most people) but the studios were given freedom to create them on PS3. On PS4 they moved to some new things again (Horizon, Spiderman) and in large we've seen a lot of new IPs published from them. More then anything sonys first parties are defined by contemporary experiences which are ever evolving. Looking at this year alone for example with Dreams, Ghost of Tsushima. Last year Days Gone & Death Stranding. They hit familiar beats with their biggest franchises but they also have a lot of experimentation in a generation. Some of it falls flat like The Order, but I think the approach was the same with PS3 and it will be the same with PS5. 

Horizon does look pretty cool and if I had a PS4 I'd definitely pick it up, but stuff like Spiderman, Dreams, Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding just aren't my cup of tea.
