Ok, so I've been holding this back and have been trying to stay positive on the whole matter, because I know that at least for me there's still a good amount of games coming this year that I'm very interested in and I won't have that much time to game until October anyway, but I feel that this just has to be said:

Sony has to get their first party and the games they publish in order.

So what is the reason for this thread some might ask, well the reason is this:

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ratchet-clank-movie-cast-is-surprisingly-good/1100-6427302/

The movie is delayed to 2016, but is going to be shown in Cannes soon so the movie is more or less done, I mean there might be other reasons for this, but I feel that the most likely explanation is that the game, which we've seen nothing of, is not going to be ready for this year, this might turn out not to be the case but that's the assumption I'm operating under at the moment.

But that's not the only thing, of course there's the famous UC4 delay or the Driveclub situation, but there's other things as well. Until Dawn for example is supposed to be summer game, but the placeholder date for the game on the PS store (which usually indicates the planned release quarter) is 31st of December, did that game fall behind in development or is it being pushed back to fill a lackluster line up? Either way I'm pretty sure that the game won't make its announced summer release.

I would not be surprised if Rime and/or No Man's Sky didn't make it in 2015 either. The one shining light in that whole mess is of course Bloodborne, which was not only almost perfectly on time, it was also a masterpiece.

I'm not making this thread out of a position of someone that thinks that this going to cost Sony its lead, or that other publishers are much better at this stuff this gen, but as a fan of the PS4 and as someone that, while not in all of them, still is very interested in a lot of Sonys first party games, you guys know that.

And yes it may all happen that E3 rolls around and that Sony magically whips out another great 2015 exclusive out of its hat, instead of just a bunch of "look at this third party game, you can get this pointless DLC first on Playstation" or maybe all those things I'm assuming above turn out false and maybe they will actually manage to keep their releases on schedule for 2016 games and not have half of their games be delayed (looking at you Horizon), but for now I am pissed at what Sony is making out of this market leader position and how they seemingly planned the first 2 years of their consoles life excruciatingly poorly.

tldr.: Sony get your f'n WWS in order.

Rant over.

You are making a lot of assumptions.  

When did they buy Insomniac? And can we expect a Sunset Overdrive Complete Edition on PS4?

I do agree that it has been a slow start for Sony's first party though, not in terms of quality, as what i have played I have enjoyed, but certainly in terms of quantity. Luckily their main competitor has been just as bad and they got everything else right.

Its not just Sony, all three seem to struggle with release dates these days. Third parties as well.

I was going to mention that too.  Rachet and Clank and No Man's Sky aren't developed by Sony First Party Studios.  

They can skip E3 and still be fine...

It seems that at the moment everyone is having trouble with release dates... Probably due to them announcing games too early in development cycle...

Guys, in the OP I said that I'm including the games that Sony is going to publish in this as well. And I mentioned No Man's Sky because this is a pretty big deal for Sony too.

Anyway I'm off now and tomorrow is Father's Day so I'm probably not going to be able to respond either, stay beautiful until then.

I can agree with the general sentiment of your post due to Sony Santa Monica's spate of lackluster / underwhelming titles combined with the recent high profile cancellation and the way they mishandled it. Also, several other of their first party studios have been struggling as of late (looking at you Polyphony Digital). Then there are the obvious screw ups with the Order and Driveclub as well as the Uncharted 4 postponement. However, many of your points are invalid because, as several other posters have already pointed out, Ratchet & Clank, Rime and No Man's Sky are not first party games for Sony.

Edit: I think it is unfair to criticize Sony for the failure of any second party partnership becuase they do not exactly have total control over these developers. Despite the erratic nature their relationship with second parties I think they should focus more of their resources on them because frankly, their first party teams have been less than stellar these days. I'm hardly dismissing their recent successes such as The Last of Us; it's just that they have handled Gran Turismo, God of War, LittleBigPlanet and countless other franchises so poorly it makes me question every decision they make.

Agree, other than Bloodborne and Infamous not much else I would want to play on PS4 right now. Hopefully GG, SSM, MM, and maybe even Sucker Punch can show their games at E3. ( I know Sucker Punch might be a little soon to show anything)
