TGS 2015: Good Grief! Sony Has More PS4 Exclusives to Show

If I hadn't already jumped ship late last gen to PS then I certainly would be now.

Sony are on fire!

Dang. I don't understand what you're talking about with the slow start though, the PS4 was on fire the moment it was announced pretty much. Are you talking about with the exclusives?

2016 4 the players

For a moment, I thought Sony announced a Simpsons exclusive game...

PS4 already has a great library of games. But I was late to get my PS3, so I'm still having a great time with it. There are lots of games I haven't played yet that deserves a playthrough. Also, I'm from Brazil - where PS4 and its games are quite expensive. I guess I'll get it in (on/at? I never know) Christmas/2016.

@get2sammyb 2014 was slow in general, none of the competition had anything more to ahow than sony.

Rounding up sonys studios we have;

Quantic Dream
Sucker Punch
God of War (SSM)
Sony Bend
Polyphony Digital
Thatgamecompany (not exclusive but strong ties to ps)
Deep Down re-reveal
And more that i can't remember i would imagine...

Nyeee... Fanboys will keep XB1 alive somehow. But they are gonna complain about all the games they aren't getting, duh. Unless they are really dum', they SHOULD be jealous. Tho they could get both of them, and even a Wii U/NX and they would be able to play everything. jk I get that it would be expensive. No unfortunately having a PC wont solve nuthin', many games are still console exclusive. And that's how things will stay, for now.

@Riririn The grass is always greener. To be fair though, XB1 has some top exclusive's too.

The past few months has seen too many games. Normally I would pick up a game every few weeks but recently we've been getting games releasing almost weekly. I've promised myself that im only going to purchase two more games this year. Fallout 4 & SOMA.

In terms of sales, PS4 is definitely dominating.

But in terms of software, I'd say its no better or worse than the others, IMO. It all depends on your personal tastes. With that said, I can't wait for Last Guardian, Rime, Shenmue 3 and WiLD.

@Kage_88
I honestly don't get all the excitement either and the arrogance Sony and PS4-only players are showing is somewhat misplaced. In the end it all boils down to preferences and most of the big games we've seen so far are multiplatform, but Sony with all its studios hasn't brought anything to get really excited about so far. By far their biggest hit, at least in terms of critical succes, was Bloodborne, a game I adore, but that game wasn't even made by a first party studio.

"Stop, it's already dead!"??? Well, sales wise PS4 is chrushing the competition, but you can't honestly say that PS4s exclusives are dominating the console landscape now can you? We're talking GT7 as if it's already here, but in the meanwhile Xbox owners are playing their second (3rd if you count F5) huge and critically acclaimed triple A racing title.

Sure, it's all part of Sony's strategy and they seem to be doing fine, but the arrogance that's on display can only be traced back to sales. We were all excited this E3, but in the end of the day if was just Horizon that's gave us reason to be excited in the short term. Xbox is clearly taking 2014, where 2013 belonged to the Wii U and I hope PS's showing will be better in 2016. But writing of Xbox just yet really shows some blind fanboyism; will they ever catch up sales wise? No, never. But I wish Sony would make such a push for its consumers as MS has been doing; their games, services and UI are all part of a strategy where the consumer is the center once again. I haven't felt an appreciated PS customer for years now, so there's still lots of work to do for Sony.

I've said this before, but I think an Xbox One would really be a solid investment for PushSquare; I know this is a PS (fan)site which is great for all my PS news, but being able to put things in perspective, like the people from Nintendo Life and Pure Xbox always seem to do, would really up your game.

2014: Slow, barely any exclusives
2015: Lots of announcements, some exclusives, but still slow
2016: Too many exclusives

@WARDIE You arena right Xbox Hasselt a few nice exclusives. But i still don't have the money to buy one and to be honest i don't want put time in another console anyway.

@Boerewors Let's be honest Xbox started doing something after they tried to screw everyone over they had to because it blew up in their faces. You are talking about Playstation as if they are the big bad wolf PS3 where their bad console years which they managed to put out in a win.

@Flaming_Kaiser
You're reading too much into it, k don't think Sony is the big bad wolf, at least not bigger nor badder than MS. But from a (game) journalistic point of view it's absolute nonsense to dismiss Sony's competitors on any other aspect but sales. Like I said, the arrogance on display isn't backed up by anything else than sales alone and although I'm all about celebrating gaming as a whole, some of the PushSquare's editorial pieces tend to color the world a bit too blue imo.

The complete neglect for the excellent things happening over on the other side are not just celebrating Playstation, they've also proven a license not to give an ef for Sony. And indeed, MS has been running the extra mile because they screwed us over, but why is that necessary? Why can't I just ask more from Playstation than Bloodborne and their backing of major third party titles? Why aren't I allowed to ask for Sony's answer to Xbox's BC plans? Why should sales figures make me happy, knowing that Xbox is getting Forza, Halo and Tomb Raider this fall?

Sure, everyone will tell me how those games suck, how BC is for losers and how Xbox is technically inferior, but I'm not saying people should jump ship, I'm saying people should stick around but expect more! And I expect from journalists to take a critical stance, even if they're a fansite. But when the editorial staff in one week manages to put out so many cringeworthy articles waving the victory flag because of a very tedious TGS pre- show, I sincerely doubt that's the road to take. Sony could be doing a lot better than they are now and I think it's more than fair to ask em to show some effort.

@Boerewors to be honest bc is nice i would love to play a few old PS3 rpg's. I like it that Sony tries a lot of stuff bluray someone no more switching gamediscs. I hope the VR will workshop gratis but we will see that in the future. But i loved the TGS show so many graat new games. Playstation is where i like to be at the moment and no company should slack at any time. To put it kind hard they need keep the momentum and destroy Xbox with great titels and keep working on PSN.

@Flaming_Kaiser
That's what I'm thinking! Sure, MS has got arguably the better fall line-up for the west, but if Sony announces a price drop in every continent, PS1/2/3 games you own to be available for free in PSnow and follow that up with some tweaks to the UI and Xbox is dead. Why not give em the knockout blow?

If history learned me anything is that we as consumers should never put too much faith in a company, so I rather see people criticizing the many things Sony can improve on instead of following them like blind sheep.

@WARDIE I'm sure there's great games on the XB1, if you're into that sorta stuff. But there are no JRPGs. Booo! And that's entirely their own fault for not managing to sell the console in Asia and Japan especially. Really sad if you think about it. That's a lot of lost sales. That's just ONE of the reasons PS4 have sold twice as much. Or is it even more than that? Dunno.

It's why I love playstation. The sheer variety of games is amazing. I'm not some blind fanboy though, I can see Microsft and even Nintendo have nice exclusives. However Microsoft doesn't appeal to me with their exclusives. Same with Nintendo.

I might love PlayStation just as much as Nintendo, it's ALWAYS been about the games for me. But some people may not even play different types of game genres, for them XB1 might be just enough, especially if they are Halo nuts and such. ( YES I know they have more than Halo but Halo is still what Zelda is to Nintendo, something most owners of those consoles would want and love )

But for me, I don't even care that much about online play. Especially not if I'm forced to work in a team talking to real life people. Ick! I don't really like shooters either. Toooo many chiiiiildreeen! But if YOU'RE into that, the Xboxes might have always had the best experience. According to what I've heard. The only games where I've thought online was completely necessary is Pokémon and the recent Mario Maker. Playing other peoples levels that they've made is really fun! And without online, I couldn't complete the Pokédex or battle anyone, so that's totally cool.

The ego! THE EGO! It's like Gallifreyan society.

Anyway, all good things come to end. Just like every other company has done and will do again, Sony will trip and fall. And with their recent success...it'll be down 14 flights of stairs and under a moving 16 wheeler if they aren't careful.

And to writing off the other consoles as dead? Fair enough, they are to you. But to others they have been worthwhile buys with their own merits for each person's individual needs and like it or not the PS4 will never possibly cater to every gamer out there.

And being honest here...Uncharted 4 and Horizon are good exclusives for the PS4. No mention of a certain Lombax I notice...

And...important question here. The article says PS4 exclusives. Is that the normal PS4 exclusives and PC, PS4 exclusive DLC, or actual PS4 exclusives?

@Boerewors I'm kind of with you here. There is being humble and then there is....I don't know. Almost proverbially slapping everyone with your unmentionables and saying they made a wrong purchase.

This site seems borderline bipolar. It's either on top of the world and reminding everyone of that fact, or depressed because Japan. The other two sites seem to have a more realistic approach to their shortcomings with upcoming developments and at least talk friendly and acknowledge the other consoles as a thing that can be enjoyed.

@viciousarcanum quantic dream us a 2nd party company, not first. They are independent, but choose PlayStation as their general home for games.

@Boerewors The arrogance? you were obviously not around during the beginning to middle of the last consoles where the 360 fanbase were more arrogant than what you are seeing now. Don't be naive, it's so unbecoming.

@Bigdoggy
Ah right... "But they did it first!" Makes it totally okay for Sony, PS fans and PS orientated sites to act the same!

@NomNom doesn't matter, they are known to be making a pure playstation exclusive.

@viciousarcanum Fahrenheit was originally pc and Xbox, and they can go to whoever funds their games. We are lucky Sony has an interest in their very unique game style.

I only wish this site would stop complaining about Japan's bestseller lists being different from ours and that the PS4 doesn't sell well in Japan despite often selling the best. Tho most of those complaints comes from users. "Japan is weird, Japan sucks, lol wtf is this, why isn't GTA and Witcher FUURST!?" Good grief lol It's a different region that has a different culture, duh, just duh. There's nothing wrong with that even tho you don't like it.

@NomNom again you're missing the point, i was making a list of games and studios that have exclusive games coming to playstation.

@Boerewors it actually does. Karma is most certainly a pain.

2016 will be a good year for PS fans.

@Kage_88
For what I like, I'd say if I could only have one console right now it'd be Xbox One because it has the best exclusives along with the multiplats I want to play. Sony is definitely doing what it did last gen where the exclusives will come but it's been a slow burn. It benefited from getting better third party support this time around and from Nintendo misreading the market and MS deciding it would be hilarious to publicly shoot itself in the foot. That said, things are definitely looking up for next year. And it's not 'arrogance' on anybody's part. I'm really getting sick of seeing that idiotic term thrown around with no substance to back it up. If it's 'arrogance' to state facts like PS4 is crushing the competition sales wise... I don't how to respond to that, it's a simple f'ing fact. Don't like it, too f'ing bad. I remember during the Wii's days at the top constantly reading about 'Nintendomination' so the hypocritical fanboys, who cross over here from NLife can kindly f the hell off. I've tried ignoring it but the trolling is beyond ridiculous now. I'm getting sick of seeing satisfied PS4 owners being attacked for 'arrogance' when there's Nintendo fans out there who make youtube videos about how nothing matters but Nintendo games. When there's Xbox fanboys making videos about how windows 10, yes windows 10 is going to to make Xbox One more powerful than a $30,000 gaming PC. When there's Xbox fanboys out there who make videos about how they stand at Best Buy or Gamestop and will tell customers spending their hard-earned cash on a PS4 to 'think about what they're doing and not make a purchase based on the media.' I get it, Nintendo is the angelic company and MS is the big bad wolf humbled a bit, everybody loves an underdog (although I can tell you as a New York Yankee and New York Jets fan, it's not the latter I've enjoyed rooting for more). Everybody has their preferences and people on a PS-based website should be able to enjoy their console and be happy about a bright looking future without dumb f**ks coming over here telling them they're arrogant.

And this isn't a fanboy rant either. There's few more critical of Sony than me and I was probably the most hated person on this website at one point last year because of my criticisms. This year has been much better for PS4 though, exclusive or multiplatform, a good game is a good game and PS4 has gotten plenty of them this year including the best versions of some of the year's best games. I'm glad I can see the good and the bad. Something some others here could learn. But when all you want to do is troll I guess that's what you're going to do.

@Bigdoggy
Glad to see I'm not the only one getting sick of the stupidity. I've pointed out time and again areas Sony needs to improve. Companies need to be kept in check and I think PushSquare could do with some more articles that take a critical look at things, but some seem to believe it should be every article and that just because they may not like certain games it means all those games suck. That'd be like me discounting the Elder Scrolls or Fallout games simply because I don't enjoy them. They still bring in 9s and 10s with each entry, they sells millions and the majority seem happy, so being objective, the developers are obviously doing something right.
