Yoshida promised 12 new ip and 20 first party games to be released in the first year, we are coming up on the 2 year in and they still won't even be half way there.

People keep praising sony first party, yet really people only talk about ND, the other studios have been meh at best.

The quote was never about retail titles or PS4 exclusives, just the number of games they had planned for year 1 of PS4:

Killzone Shadow Fall
Knack (New IP)
DC Universe Online
Doki-Doki Universe (New IP)
Escape Plan (New IP)
Resogun (New IP)
Sound Shapes (New IP)
The Playroom (New IP)
DriveClub (New IP)
InFamous Second Son
LBP3
MLB14: The Show
The Last of Us Remastered
CounterSpy (New IP)
Entwined (New IP)
Hohokum (New IP)
Singstar
inFamous First Light

It's obvious that some things were pushed back and missed the deadline, but it's not that bad to only have one major game pushed outside the window.

Sounds like a reach, doki doki, the playroom, hohokum, entwined, sound shapes....That fact that you mentioned those games is very telling, I had to google nearly half of the list because I have never heard of them.

Everything that guy said is complete garbage but he got right one thing, there is one sentence there that is 100% true.


pls god, just dont let it be this sentence............

 

""Splatoon could sell up to 6m copies. That's certainly a huge number on a console that will most likely fail to sell 20m units in its lifetime, but Nintendo has some of the most devoted and blind fans I have ever seen."



9/10

I've been here long enough to recognize this kind of threads. Still, very good IP and... well, it's fun to see who reads the OP and who doesn't.

All I did was copy/paste from the Wiki article of Sony published titles on PS4 during 2013 and 2014. Didn't need to do much work.

This is legitimately the most amusing thing I've read in a while.  Good job, Sir.

Just gonna leave the nice contradiction here:

Sony has gotten reliant on sequels to a few key franchises over the last few years. What people have criticized Microsoft for, Sony has become. Third party multiplatform games are embellished by a couple of noteworthy first party titles every year. 

Skullwaker said:

Looking forward, gamers can expect great things from Microsoft. This year the usual third party games will be joined by Halo 5 and Forza 6, plus potentially some Gears of War in one form or another. As a gamer, there is no better time to jump in. This is the best lineup in the history of Xbox. While Sony has given gamers empty promises, actual greatness awaits on the Xbox One."

tl;dr - Sony rely on third party games and sequels to existing franchises which is doing gamers a disservice; Microsoft are releasing third party games and sequels to existing franchises on Xbox and it's the best lineup in the history of the brand.

The best trolls at least bring some kind of coherent argument, which is sadly lacking here.  Still, it's pretty funny.

I guess he's trolling MS in that case. The worst that Sony can do is the best MS can hope to achieve...

Hopefully Sony pull out a bunch of surprises at this E3 so they can match MS with something like an Uncharted trilogy collection, if they don't and just go' hey gaiz we gotz da cod!2!1111' then it won't go down well with the core fanbase. Lets also remember that Bloodborne is the best exclusive so far of the new gen for all the sony haters out there who say they have nothing.

Last year I really thought Sony could of cut their conference down by 30 minutes by having less self congratulatory wank and more games, the games they did show like Bloodborne, Uncharted 4 and the surprise announcement of Grim Fandango were excellent stuff. I was bored by the filler of the conference, the games were fine. While we're on the topic of filler Sony need to spend more time on the genuinely unique stuff that seperates them out from the Xbox guys at E3, and for gods sake keep Shawn Layden off the stage. Cattle prod him, chain him down in his office, surgically remove his voice box, anything, just don't let him speak. He was absolutely abominable last year.

The reason I bring up E3 is simply because this could be the turning point for MS if they get it right. Sony need to bring their A game. Nintendo are my personal favourite but this gen they're long since finished.



Is it bad that I put more stock into mr. Kramer here than most other analysts?



*NTH (Now that's hardcore) is a fictive market research firm that collects its data primarily from internet message boards. - LOL



Thanks jlmurph!

Second Son wasn't Meh at best far from it. Second son was a great game and I really enjoyed it. Blood born even though I haven't played it did amazing. MS has yet to realease anything on that level yet.



I use that Hentai argument frequently at work and it always convinces everyone that I am qualified for everything!

You guys need to start using that argument as well. Great stuff.
