I remember 2016-2020 as being very strong when it came to first-party releases, though the output admittedly doesn’t appear too dissimilar to the PS5: every year has seen a major first-party release accompanied by a major second-party release. The first-party hasn’t really hit my taste, each game feeling a little too similar to predecessors. And 2025 has felt unusually quiet: From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t even sound like a Sony presentation is in the works for May. I’m not very optimistic, though I do have faith Sony will turn things around by the time PS6 comes out. Astro’s the only first-party that’s really excited me this gen; during PS4, every game on that list you provide had me ecstatic. |
The list you cited only has two new IP's though lol.
I'm just curious why we are knocking Sony's sequels for being too similar but not other platform holders? This applies to Microsoft, Nintendo, EA, Capcom, Warner Brothers, Take Two, Square Enix, etc as well. The majority of sequels are just refinements of the original.
