Sounds more like you just want some old IP's back than you do diversity. This year we should be getting:

A Norse action game (GOW)
A cyberpunk adventure game (Detroit)
An open world superhero game (Spiderman)
An action/adventure/puzzle remake (SotC)
An unprecedented game and content creator (Dreams)
An advanced swarm zombie/survival shooter (Days Gone)
A zany Japanese crime brawler (Yakuza 6)
A Ghibli style JRPG (Ni No Kuni 2)
And possibly even a spacetime stealth action mindfuck (Death Stranding)

Apart from maybe wanting more stylized visuals or say a classic platformer, it doesn't get much more diverse.

That's not a lot of diversity.

Ni no kuni 2 isn't even exclusive. 3rd Person action adventure isn't even diverse anymore which are what you mentioned.

I give you Dreams.

Shadow of the Colossus? a Remake? Oh please that's not diverse enough.

Let me rephrase it to for everyone. I want more games(not exclusively JRPGs) than what Sony currently offers. Simpler, smaller and double Abudget. Something to keep people entertained while you wait for the bigger games.

If Sony could waste hundreds of millions  of dollars on a flop like Blade Runner the film... I am confused why they can't do the same it for Playstation when it's their most profitable business.

Sorry man, it doesn’t seem like you can be reasoned with.

A $399 gaming peripheral? STFU too. ;P

In what time hole are you seeming to be trapped?!

This is the worst Legend of dragoon/wild arms begging thread i've seen.

The PS4 has the most exclusives of any platform. It's not even comparable. The Switch gets one (exclusive?) per month.

Well to be fair, Switch is only 10 months old. Most 1st years of consoles don't even get exclusives unless they're ports(Remember 1st year PS4 and Xbone Games?)... I think things will change soon here. But I digress,

PS4 is more diverse overall, that's been its moniker since the PS1. I think the OP meant to criticize Sony's 1st party (which still really isn't as valid but understandable) for their negligence towards JPRGs. But this isn't the 90's anymore. JRPGS aren't the powerhouse they used to be. But even with that being said PS4 is still getting/has a TON of them. Persona 5, Nier, Tales, Ni No Kuni, Dragon Quest XI, Kingdom Hearts 3, Final Fantasy VII...I kind of fail to see the argument here. It's getting more JRPG support that the Switch (as of now). 

That's what I'm saying.(First party exclusives)

Playstation used to be known as a place for niche games and now Nintendo Switch is becoming that console at the pace they are going with. Sony used to provide something different that third party developers don't and I don't see that anymore.

If Sony goes on with that kind of business... I'm going to be tempted to buy a switch. Sony does not understand the situation they are in. PS4 lacks identity. PS3 atleast got something going on with it. Free online+Stylized Game+New IPs but PS4? It's currently defined by third party games and I don't like that. I might  just buy a PC or Switch. Steam provides something that Sony don't. Nintendo is now more open to devs and while Switch will be more successful and compelling than PS4 as time goes by. Anyone should admit it. Nintendo invented an amazing console and Sony should be threatened by it if they keep on sticking with their conservative approach on software development. Switch has the identity that PS4 doesn't have. You can personally tell if it's a switch game or not. PS4? You cab hardly tell because you will find that experience in another platform like PC, Xbox and switch in the future.

If someone asks why I'm using an alt account, CGI and Truckusaurus got me a temp approval until I get my iconic and notorious "kurasakiichimaru" account back. :p

Eh whatever. Don't call me if Sony is back peddling to niche gamers too late when Switch dominates and extinguishes the need for PS4. Graphics are not everything.

One hell of an awkward thread.

Can the mods check to see if the OP was hacked?

Just because you do not agree with my opinion doesn't mean I'm hacked. People changed as I changed. Just like generations in gaming. Y'know. :)

Now do you agree or disagree that Sony is becoming less diverse with their exclusive output than before in previous generation. That is the question.

Why would they do it? Sony are just resting on their laurels just waiting for third parties to develop their games for them. Sucks but it is true. Sony is just too economical cause they are the market leader. :(

What you want is to Sony to bring back old IPs, or rather actually have first party RPGs under their belt(which I agree completely) rather than diversity, because Sony got that in spades.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
