But sony's most acclaimed game of the generation is Astrobot which is pretty low budget compared to all the usual big budget blockbusters sony has been making. It's not like Nintendo has less critically acclaimed games either. Nintendo are making more games, equally or even more acclaimed games and games in a wider variety of genres as Sony. Budget does not equal quality in any way. Some of the absolute best games of the generation have been lower budget indie games or mid budget games. Expedition 33 had a budget of roughly 10 million, hollow knight, hades 2 and many other phenomenal games have low budgets. Spider man 2 had a massive budget, but was in many ways a step down from the first game. The problem a lot of massive budget games have is that they can end up feeling soulless, which is something that has hit sony hard in recent years. The games often feel so safe and lack any real charm or distinguishing features, they are good in all the technical ways, to get good reviews, but tend to feel made by committee. It's why I think there lower budget games like Astro and helldivers 2 are a lot more interesting. |
I disagree, again. On a personal level, I believe Sony's games are, in general, blockbusters of higher quality.
Objectively, I could point to the award tracking for the most acclaimed games of recent times:
Sure, you can dismiss the value of lists and say that Sony games "lack soul." But that is your personal opinion, based on your preferences.
During the PS4 era, Sony was superior and dominated by a wide margin. Today, Sony is weaker, but still equal, perhaps better, than Nintendo—IMHO.
