Worried About the Number of PS4 Exclusives? There Are 14 Studios Working on Some

I'm not worried about the exclusives, Sony's exclusives have always appealed to me more than Microsoft's. If they feel the need to delay them, then I feel that there is a valid reason and people should chill. Admittedly it's not ideal considering they were almost promised, but there are plenty of games aimed at multi-platform (BF4, Assassin's Creed IV) which will hold us until the exclusives arrive.

Long term, the outlook should be good. I'd like a fairly immediate payoff as well though. I will say the first year, regardless of how little I now expect from Watch_Dogs and Drive Club, still is better than PS3's and slightly better than PS2's. But that's also not saying much as neither of those consoles had tremedous first years. Hopefully none of the big multiplats get cancelled though. Outside of inFamous and The Order the most interesting games will be ones like Thief, Destiny, Diablo 3. I will say, an official announcement of MLB 14 The Show and anything new from Naughty Dog would go a long way towards making 2014 seem a lot better.

I need journey on ps4 plzzzzz

Well really hope someday in 2014 got announced

@Gamer83 you expect little from watch dogs and drive club, because they got delayed....once???What do GTA V, Bioshock Infinite, and the last of us have in common? They are the best games of the year, and they have all been delayed, more than once..

@Shellybird27

The other thing those games have in common is they come from studios with a rich history of superb games. Evolution and especially Ubisoft do not deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Rockstar North, Irrational and Naughty Dog. Now aside from being produced by top notch studios, GTA V, The Last of Us and Bioshock never got crappier and crappier each time out like Watch_Dogs has either. Every showing since its unveil, hype has dropped a bit for that game especially over this past summer. I had a feeling it wouldn't make launch and because of how bad it's shaping up, I actually hope Ubisoft uses the delay to actually fix what is wrong. Unfortunately, this is a company that has also shown it doesn't care much about quality as its rushed complete trash like Red Steel 1 and ZombiU out the door for launches in the past. Simply put, if not for GTA V and its own Assassin's Creed IV, Ubi would be releasing Watch_Dogs and it would disappoint, just like it will disappoint if it releases this spring. Now, if Ubi takes the massive losses, completely scraps the current sh*tty build and starts Watch_Dogs over strictly built around PS4, X1 and PC, I will applaud the effort and the game will be right back on my most anticipated list because I do love the idea behind it. However, if all we're getting is the current trash that was delayed for marketing purposes, count me out. It's up to Ubi, if the W_D team has any pride and their words carry any weight in the company maybe the game gets pushed into 2015 which wouldn't be a bad thing.

As for Drive Club, Evolution has had over two years to get a racer ready for launch and failed spectacularly. After seeing what Guerilla has done with a much more involved game in Killzone: Shadow Fall while still working on other games at the same time, it only makes Evolution look more pathetic. And on top of that, Drive Club has only been delayed a few months, hardly enough time to work miracles. It's also more for marketing than anything else. Sony doesn't want the game to get buried by Gran Turismo 6.

The issue has never really been the number of exclusive titles Sony has and especially not the expectation of exclusives in the future. The issue being debated around the traps is launch exclusives, where Sony was a bit thin compared to MS and then Drive Club got delayed.

At this point, I really don't think that it will matter too much. A few people may delay getting a PS4 for a while (including me), but most people have already made up their minds.

It may have changed a little but last time I checked, the PS4 had 26 exclusives (4 launch) announced, and XBO had 13 (7 launch). But what is amazing is the number of Console exclusives annouced. PS4 52 (11 launch) and XBO 6 (2 launch). So it is console exclusives where XBO is being slaughtered on the games front.

It is why I think that that PS4 will make a small dent in the PC market, because many games that were traditionally PC only (esp MMOs) are making their way onto the PS4. I believe some gamers will be enticed across, rather than upgrading their PC.

Sony destroys Microsoft on the games front. Some people seem to think it's a battle of quantity vs quality but if you look a little deeper the games battle is really lopsided in Sony's favor. Just KillZone alone is more exciting than anything Microsoft has up their sleeve or is capable of producing. Some people point to Halo but Halo is old, that's like Hulk Hogan saying he's coming back to wrestling. When Sony says they have exclusives they really mean exclusive. Not timed exclusives or exclusive content, I'm talking about full games you can only experience on PS4 and no where else. Even Titan Fall which in my opinion is the most interesting and original game announced for Xbox One is also available on PC, not to mention will be on PS4 at some point in the future. Then theirs the indie games which gets heavily underestimated in the industry. One indie game by itself really isn't big news but they add up. As it is Sony has a strong lineup of cheaper, great indie titles so there will always be something to play. Then there are the big name titles from Sony that have yet to be mentioned....Like i said it's really lopsided in Sony's favor.

Sony's launch lineup may be looking a little weak but I'm not concerned as we know they have an amazing team of developers toiling away on exclusives.

This is one of the reasons why I sold my 360 recently to buy a PS3 and catch up on all the amazing Sony exclusives I missed which far outweigh Xbox's. No doubt PS4 will have the same advantage over Xbone in the future...

I have been with Xbox for over ten years but in recent times it became painful not being able to play all the amazing games that were PS3 only. Games like Uncharted, Journey and TLOU appeal to me much more than Gears and Halo. In fact I never saw what the fuss was about with Halo at all but that's another story!

I don't regret this at all (except I still think 360 controller is superior) and I will happily buy a PS4 next gen over an Xbone.

Well done Sony to catering for gamers. I'm glad I'm along for the ride.

PS. Also got a Vita recently too!

@Dodoo Welcome to playstation ! The controller was one of reasons i never got into xbox... F8cking batteries

@Dodoo Yes. Welcome.

@Ginkgo @Sanquine - Thanks guys. Nice to be in a friendly place

Xbox the original was supposedly better than ps2. 360 was barely distinguishable from ps3, so it was brand loyalty. Now that One is scientifically weaker and pricier, their exclusives are all that can save them. I hope it's really amazing to have trigger rumblers, or else I see ps4 winning this gen. 2020 is far off enough to give them time to think of a better name, too.

@charlesnarles I heard that the DS4's rumblers have been turned so well that they can simulate individual weight or even the sensation of water, thats 1 of 5 new inovations that the DS4 has ove the X1's 1 new noticable controller innovation! =D
