It's what they promised. And I think they started with the games before the launch of the PS4.

They did promise exclusives but mostly indies, I don't know about AAA

I think this is part of the perception problem.  Sony hasn't lied.  They promised a lot of exclusives - it is the gaming public that has made the leap to these being predominantly great, high-profile tent-pole releases.  

All of this is true. They've been releasing so many games but people overlook them, expecting some to be done by studios like ND.

Really, big games by big studios take a lot of time. "no gaems" PS4 has games, just not AAA games.

Well, when they brag about 20 first year exclusives, you tend to expect 20 exclusives. I'm sure they're counting indies, but still. Releases, that can't be found on a ps360, are slim Pickens.



Sometimes I don't understand people. It's like they expect each and every console at launch to deliver the best games(and a lot of them) of the generation. They will just "hold" a few new titles from previous games and new IPs and not release them on their old systems, and the third parties will release most of the games for the old and new systems. This is how it always works.

It will take a few years before we can see a good library of games for each system out there. But should I even need to say this?

If you want AAA-titles, and a big bunch of them, every year, then you will have to play on PC or buy several consoles. Preferably PC and all consoles.

Go dudebro on xone if you're unhappy with PS4s genre variety and play Titanfall for all of 2 weeks before it's get boring, then play the worse version of BF4 an COD for the rest of the year until Halo comes out.


Or, you can play some Dead Rising 3 to satisfy your sandbox need, then switch to Killer Instinct to have good, primal fun with your friends!

 

Alternatively, you can go dudebro on Ps4 and play Killzone Shadow Fall for all of 2 weeks before it's get boring, then play the better version of BF4 and COD for the rest of the year until Haze 2 comes out.

 

Perspective is King, my friend ;)

Exactly.

That said, that really isn't worth the price of admission for anyone that doesn't have a tonne of excess cash.

Depends. Indies are usually shorter than your average game but if it has good replay value and great gameplay then I shouldn't see many people having problems with it. Though I haven't seen many indies that meet that criteria except Resogun, but that really isn't enough.



Even if Sony has 24 studios working on PS4 games those games take time to make. At 18 months to 2 years(which is being kind as many of their studios are known to take longer) I can't see them getting out more than 3-6 AAA 1st party developed games a year. The lower end of that is what Vita got. PS4 games take longer to make than Vita games. Thank god we at least know PS4 will be getting their major developers like ND on board unlike Vita.

Not to be a prick but people did threads like this with the WiiU and every other consoles before the ps4/x1 so I approve of threads like this

But yea, the reasoning is also the same... It has not been out for very long

To be fair, Nintendo has dropped the ball on coming out with 1st party exclusives in a timely fashion.  Even Nintendo fans have been complaing about this, so you know it's true. 

But they basically cobbled together a Mario game in time for launch, just cause they know that's their biggest seller.  Then the next significant release after that was Pikmin 3 nearly 8 months later.   They released a few more games that year, but mostly games that worked on the Wii, but had little affect on Wii U sales (like Sports, Party, and Fit.)  The only other significant games for core gamers that year was a remake of Wind Waker and SM3DW, which came out 4 months after Pikmin.  Then it took about 3 months (an improvement) til Donkey Kong was released, and it just missed the holiday season.  Now, the ones gamers REALLY want (Zelda and X), were delayed to this year or 2015, which is 2-3 years after launch.  It's been about a year and a half and there is hardly any word on the Zelda they demoed at E3. 

To compare this to Sony, It would basically be like if Sony launched with GT6.5 and a port of PS Home.  Then in July of 2014, they finally got around to launching Knack.  Then, they launched 2-3 Move games over the coming months, while just having the TLOU remake launching in Sept and Killzone in November.   And Infamous, Drive Club, and The Order, which are really the only games they are currently working on, are delayed til 2015 to 2016.  Then, on top of that, you have the lack of 3rd party support to fill in any gaps that Sony may have for games they themselves are releasing.

As you can see, the situations are completely different, and Nintendo fans and others have the right to criticize Nintendo for their poor handling of their 1st parties.  Sony, on the other hand, have released 3 major titles in 5 months from launch (many more titles if you count downloadable).  They already have 3 announced and coming out this year, Drive Club, The Order, and MLB (only pro baseball game in town.)  And again, more if you include downloadable titles.  Of course, we also know that at E3, they will probably have 3-4 (maybe more) new games to announce for release in late 2014 and beyond.  On top of that, you DO have the 3rd pary support that fills in the gaps that Sony leaves.  Which is why articles like this just come off as entitled whinning.

I should clarify that it is the cost of the console, not the cost of the indie games themselves, that I am taking issue with.

I have purchased Resogun but not had a chance to play it yet - I will have too though because by most accounts it is currently the PS4's best game!

Oh. I'm dumb.

Play it ASAP. It's a very good game.
