Game reviews sort of lost their purpose when review  sites started to use low scores as clickbaits. This  was especially bad at the time of current gen launch.Also the player scores were being manipulated by extreme opinions rather than objective ones. Personally I see no valuee in metascore.

Fortunately nowadays you can watch lots of gameplay in YouTube to make up your mind before purchase. 

LOL thanks ... I was hopping the humor of a random clarification wouldn't be lost on everyone ... haha 

I can understand remasters, but why aren't remakes in that list?

Thats like saying every new superman/spiderman origin story movie doesn't count because its a "remake"

Its simply criminal not putting Ratchet and Clank and SOTC remakes in that list. Its an insult to the amount of work that those devs put into those games.

And then there is the fact that these days its actually harder for games to get and maintain high review scores. Thats just because theer are more reviewers around these days.

You are comparing 7yrs to "almost 5 years", as is I can think of at least 4 to 6 games that will be making a showing before ths gen is out that will most likely make that list. Hell, right off the top of my head, detroit, spiderman, last of us 2, ghosts of tsuwhatever, days gone......etc

Lastly, if you are putting wipeout HD in that list, then omega collection should be there too, caause Hipeout HD was actually a remake too, and omega collection is a remake too.

Honestly your list is just off, you put in games like journey but then leave out games like resogun...... oh..... Uncharted 4 the lost legacy is a standalone game..... so there is that too.

you know whats really crazy? and this one is easy to miss....

take a good look at the PS3 list, now group them into franchises you will find that there are only like 9 games on that list.... lots of sequels within the same generation.

Now look at  the PS4 list, not a single sequel on that list, and the games coming up are also not sequels or at the very least are making their first appearance eg. spiderman, detroit, last of us 2, GoT, dreams, Days gone.

The real take away from this for me is that it takes longer to make these games now.

Nioh only launched on PC months after its PS4 release, and no matter how you cut it Persona 5 is excluisve, count it on both PS3 and 4 if you want but it is. The list is also misisng Until Dawn (oh it has a 79 metascore, who cares the game was a smashing sucess and reviewers never give high scores to these types of games), Nier (ye also on PC, but also release on a later date on that plataform, and still console exclusive), Ratchet and Clank (even calling it a remake is wrong, its an entirely new game, only the story beats are similar to the original), Resogun (as far as I know its not on PC, it is on pS3 and Vitta, only released on those two consoles over one years after the PS4 release), Uncharted the Lost Legacy (wich is a fully fledged game, it has both the quality and the length) and Im pretty sure there are others Im forgetting.

Not to mention we are comparing PS4 halfway its life cycle versus PS3 full life cycle.

Until Dawn is a bigger deal, and was more popular and sold more, than many of the games on the ps3 list. To be honest, I still can’t believe it has a 79 Metacritic. It deserves an 82 minimum. Was such a pleasant surprise for me (and the 2 other people I played it with).

Not counting LPB3 and Persona 5 bc they’re  on ps3 as well is ridiculous. The definitive versions of both games were absolutely the ps4 versions, and the ps3 versions were the afterthought. I’ve never heard a single person discount BotW on Switch bc it’s also on Wii U—nor should they.

Ive always disagreed with the “it’s on PC, so it’s not an exclusive” argument. Sea of Thieves in most people’s eyes is an XBO exclusive. This thread isn’t about how many games ps4 and XBO had that weren’t available on PC. To exclude Nier, Nioh, Resogun, and Nex Machina is being intentionally selective. Then again, that seems to be exactly what you and the OP are doing. 

It seemed you were backing the OP, that’s all. If not, then disregard that comment. 

its on ps3
