Okay, anyone genuinely trying to say that "Sony focuses on 3rd person single-player action-adventure" as a negative is NOT a voice deserving to be heard. "Action-Adventure" is the most wide definition of ALL the genres in gaming by a wide, WIDE margin, third person is a perspective, not a gameplay style, and while 'singleplayer' means it's very story-focused, that's really not restrictive at all. Third-person Single-player action-adventure games encompass something like 75% of all mainstream games. That is the opposite of 'racing' or 'shooter' as niches. Ratchet & Clank is NOTHING like The Last of Us. Bloodborne is NOTHING like inFamous or Spider-Man. The only thing linking Ghost of Tsushima with Horizon: Zero Dawn is the open world. Halo is closer to Gears of War than any of Sony's 'third-person action-adventure single-player' games are to each other. Gritty, Futuristic sci fi shooters with grizzled men as their protagonist fighting aliens is a very specific genre. Really, the only thing that separates them is their first vs third person perspective and story details. Hell, the two closest in Sony's lineup are Uncharted and The Last of us because they're both by the same developer and both are sci-fi and remarkably high quality. One's an adventure in he vein of Tomb Raider or Indiana Jones and the other more a stealth horror, they're just considered so alike because the writing and presentation quality are both among the best in the genre. The mental gymnastics on this post. Jesus. |
Yeah, I never got this logic, it just seems like a way to downplay.
Why can't we group Red Dead Redemption 2, BoTW, Mario: Odyssey, Assassins Creed, Monster Hunter World, Uncharted, Watch Dogs, Batman: Arkham City, Witcher 3, RE2 Remake, Sekiro, etc as third person action adventure, since they all share the same camera angle? I guess its because some of them have online, some of them take place in a city, while others take place in a village lol?
