@PuppetMaster Regardless, silence five years into a generation is very disappointing.

I was talking to my buddy the other day and it’s weird that we are 5 years into the PS5 generation and in regard to first party studios we are still mostly in the dark as to what they are working on. It’s a very disappointing experience.

Back in the day, we would’ve already had a show filled with previews of what’s coming.

Bend-???
Santa Monica-???
Bluepoint-???
Guerilla-???
Media Molecule-???
The other newer studios-???

I’m not stupid, I’m very aware of what most the studios are probably working on. I’m just saying we are five years into the system and it’s mostly silence when traditionally we would’ve had a handful of previews, trailers and reveals by now.

Granted, that stupid GASS push has definitely contributed to this.

@Wizpig17 the crazy thing is that I have not owned an Xbox since the Xbox 360 but I bought a series X 3 years ago due to I wanted to catch up on exclusives. I also have a friend that has never owned an Xbox and he bought one three years ago along with me for the games he has never played, the exclusives and for game pass, but with the changes that they’ve made with putting games on PlayStation we’re not buying whatever Xbox comes next. So they’ve definitely contributed to the loss of console sales in the future with the two of us.

Considering the direction they’re going Sony and Microsoft just go ahead and release a console together next generation.

I prefer exclusives because based off of 30 years of history, I think some of the best games have been exclusive. They had to be great to push the sales of systems and we’ve already experienced that a lot of games overall don’t take the risks that they used, but it is what it is.

Considering the direction Sony and Microsoft for going, they may as well just team up and make one console going forward.

I prefer exclusives because it seems like traditionally those have been some of the best games because they had to be to help push sales of the console, but it is what it is.

This is the first time in a while since they’ve put a game up that I’m interested in.

I’ve came close to buying King of fighters numerous times and now it’ll be nice just to have it.

Im a fan of VR. I owned the PSVR and Oculus from a few years back, but they released the PSVR2 to quickly.

I had a strong feeling because of this it was gonna fail, and they were basically going to abandon it, which is mostly been the case.

They should’ve skipped the entirety of the PS five generation for VR and brought it back a couple years into the PS6 generation.

It’s not that difficult.

There were many of us that played the Uncharted multiplayers along with Factions.

If they would have kept adding in new levels to experience along with new cosmetics and emotes to purchase, possibly mixed into a battle pass, they would have insured a steady flow of income.

Multiplayer doesn’t have to be a huge living world and story experience. There are those of us that appreciate an expanded traditional experience.

This would have worked with a game like Motorstorm as well.

It will likely be another 4+ years before they release what is next and i’m pretty sure days gone released in 2019.

That’s a long time to go without a new game. That’s horrible.

Regardless, it was better than that State of Play.

I thought it was mediocre at best.

I saw a poll on Twitter that had over 50000 votes with over half rating it either a C or worse.

For those of you that may not be familiar with that system, it ranks A, B, C, D, F with A being the best.

This highly positive article is shocking to me, but I’m not bashing those that enjoyed it.

@SuntannedDuck2 Even if they were not from Sony studios, I would have liked to seen games that gave me vibes similar to: Motorstorm Pacific Rift, LBP, Resistance, Puppeteer, Little Nightmares, Reanimal, South of Midnight, Infamous, Bioshock, Sifu, Limbo.

The vast majority of what was shown did nothing for me. Games like No More Heroes and Journey don’t do it for me.

You guys are insane. People have complained for years, but this was easily the worst show in recent history.

That show was garbage. I’m glad I didn’t watch it live.

Will they unlock all the content?

Freaking sucks losing it because I’ve been cashing in on the five dollar rewards for a while.

Speaking only for myself, PlayStation sucks at building hype now.

They are nothing like they used to be.

If they don’t do a show, it will be disappointing, but I already expect to be disappointed again.

MK1 has added far more content, and much of it free, than Street Fighter has at this point.

Many of today’s gamers are just weird.

I’ve played my fair share of MK1 and would be happy to spend more time with it, but I’m also happy if it’s time to move on.

I don’t think I’ve ever read a report where they were happy with their sales numbers.

It was a nice trailer and looks promising but my hype is very low as the game is way to far out to care about.

I’m really shocked that any of these people that have any status to their name would actually interact with people online without a persona.

Hell, I’m a nobody and I use a persona.

Naughty dog hasn’t released one new game this entire generation.

Sony can kiss my ass with TLoU.

Regardless of the greater question if it was right or wrong, I would choose the life of my child over all of you.

@somnambulance I agree, in all my years of gaming I have never been less hyped for the industry than what I am right now.

Silence does not get me hyped, but in the last 15 years, it’s what the gamers pushed the industry to change too. I remember seeing a lot of people saying quit showing games early quit showing previews. Quit giving release windows just be quiet about it until the game releases, and the businesses listened.

All this says to me is that you’re not confident in your release date.

I’ve said it before and I guess it’s time to say it again.

The PS5 generation has been a good one, but it’s easily the worst PlayStation generation I’ve ever experienced.

@Treestar Ive never heard of it, but I’ll have to check it out.

Your new mobile ads are ruining this site for me.

They will override the entire page with a page ad or video.

I wanna play it and would like to buy it, but I’ve just got too many games that take forever to beat.

I just finished Avowed this past week and that took right at 50 hours. I’m also in the middle of playing cyberpunk. I also have Final Fantasy 16 and the new dragons age that I got cheap that I haven’t even started yet.

I understand wanting to get your moneys worth for games, but these games are so huge that I just don’t have the time for it.

@rjejr I only get on the Internet by phone anymore and I’m aware of the problem you’re mentioning, but this one is when I’m trying to read an article and I scroll down and one of those embedded ads are there the size of it is changed to wear. It wants to go full screen, and so it’s constantly trying to scroll up and down.

I’ve been using this site for years and never had that type of problem, if those types of ads stay, it will definitely reduce my visits here.

It does nothing for me to hear that a new studio has been created knowing that most games take 5+ years anymore to release and many games get canceled or studio shut down before they ever even release it.

I believe I saw news on here this week about some new PlayStation studio that’s been put together with people from a studio that was shut down in the last year.

@breakneck that’s how I feel about GTA six right now. I have zero hype but I’ll buy it whenever it releases, but I also would not care if it got delayed for two more years. I really don’t care if it got canceled.

Your new full screen ads they make my screen jump around are pissing me off.

I’m not trying to be overly negative, but I got a feeling in this game will die just as quickly as the vast majority that have in the last few years.

There are already too many established IP’s with big fan bases that might check it out, but aren’t willing to leave the content they’ve purchased.

They may prove me wrong though.

That was a good read, but I wasn’t happy with that last statement of there’s still a good ways to go before it releases.

The last new, true new game they released was in 2020 and with us being in 2025 that statement makes it sound like it’s not gonna come out till 2027 or later.

That sucks.

Don’t take this the wrong way, I still enjoy games, and am currently playing Avowed, Split Fiction, Cyberpunk and a handful of multiplayer games, but there have been so many rumors that weren’t true and bad news regarding games over the past few years that I don’t get hyped much anymore.

I’m too busy living in the moment.

It may be better explained by using grand theft auto six. I truly don’t care when it releases. They could delay it for two more years and I still won’t care, but when it does release, I will be there day one.

When it comes to building up my hype, PlayStation has fallen dramatically in comparison to how I felt during the previous generations.

I tried it this morning and discovered saves don’t transfer, so that sucks.

I loved 1, didn’t like 2, and have zero interest in playing as Ellie or Abby again.

@twitchtvpat Well, back then they must’ve been pretty happy with the sales considering they made multiple sequels.

Remaking until Dawn always seemed pretty stupid to me, considering the PS4 version is still available and is in very good shape.

Nice, I just added this to my wish list.

PlayStation has fallen far from the first party output and quality they offered with the PS3 generation.

Uncharted 1-3
TLoU
Resistance 1-3
Infamous 1-2 & Vampire DLC
LBP 1-3
Motorstorm 1-3
GoW 3 & Ascension
Puppeteer
Gran Turismo
Motorstorm 1-3
Ratchet and Clank
Twisted Metal
Killzone 3
Etc

That’s awesome because I haven’t played it yet but it’s definitely on my list to purchase once it’s a good sale.

I could’ve swore that I remember reading articles five years ago from Ryan and Hulst that a big focus of PlayStation’s direction is gonna be GaaS going forward and it sure as hell seem like at that point that studios didn’t really have much of an option. Seems like I remember them bragging they had 12 in the pipeline.

Well, you can’t blame me because I’m one of the few that actually bought those games.

@Almost_Ghostly For most people’s arguments, they only apply that to first party developers.

It’s just common sense, Xbox is going third-party and they have more studios.

I’m tired of hearing about it.

They abandoned it just like they did many other IP’s from the PlayStation 3 generation.

Yes, I’m aware that bloodborne came from the PS4. I’m just stating that there’s been a ton of IP’s that they’ve dropped and ignored.
