I expect many things from Sony. One of them is Killzone to be announced at E3 to launch this year. Killzone has been releasing every two years since Killzone 2 arrived. Sure Horizon will also be announced. RPGs take awhile to develop. More so than an FPS you would imagine. So I wouldn't expect that game to release until 2016 at the earliest. Sony has some confidence behind them now I believe. I am betting they throw Killzone directly at Halo 5's release. How it ends noone knows just yet.

A new resistance is also a possibility, but I expect if that is so they stretch it out for another year.

There are also other titles in the works that we know little to nothing about. E3 and on forward should tell us. I expect plenty of teasers to drop in April and May before E3 in June.

@Reality

Did you ever think that the disagrees were from people that, ya know, disagreed, with Septic saying there's now "a big gaping hole in Sony's 'arsenal'". Maybe people don't find that to be the case and there are plenty of games to keep them busy.

Name calling also isn't necessary.

OT:

This again?? *Sigh*
It's getting a bit boring at this point. Find something else to write about (I read an article earlier about representation in games, that was a good read, write something like that). Also not surprised one bit to find Pozzle to be the submitter, the guy loves negative Sony news.

Anyway, I was really looking forward to UC4 but it got delayed, damn, oh well, I'll play something else, God knows the backlog is big enough. And then all the other awesome games to come out this year. I won't write a list, it's been done to death and if you people don't get it yet, then you never will.

@ninsigma, fair enough about my negative comment. I just think people should reply why they disagree if the comment is obviously logical.

Edit: Also, I agree with the possibility of people not agreeing with the symbolism he described. Good point.

True, besides Sony isn't one who placed all bets into 1 IP.

Just look into Sony's history, each gen has different masterpiece. Hell, Nate only become some sort of generation's representative since what.. after UC 2? that's only since about half of last gen lifecycle..

If we're talking about long-running mascot, actually Snake would fit better to be compared to Nintendo's Mario or Xbox's Master Chief.

it amazes me how much better Tomb Raider is now that it's exclusive.

The same rehashed "killer apps" they've been releasing for almost 15 years. PS4 would still destroy that Xbox with or without any big games.

You realize any game that is already out is still on store shelves in the fall right?

Ratchet & Clank will probably be a pretty huge deal in the Fall, assuming it's not released in the Summer or earlier.
Tearaway on the vita was pretty awesome from what I've read about it, the PS4 game will likely be awesome too.

There's plenty of other exclusives for the year (16 to be exact), hardly a small deal and there's still months to announce new games.

I laugh at the fact that people call themselves gamers, yet they don't pay attention to the tonnes of games announced for PS4 at the conferences last year.
This year is already packed with a tonne of stuff!

The PS4 has The Order 1886, Bloodborne, MLB, Ratchet and Clank, Tearaway and Until Dawn. It also has more variety and lots of 3rd party exclusives to also fill any gaps.

Amplitude
Disgaea 5
Omega Quintet
Godzilla
J Stars
Jojo
One Piece 3
Toukidan
Yakuza
FF X
FF XIV expansion
Dragonquest Heroes
Persona 5
Godeater 2 Rage Burst
SF Ultra
Hyperneptunia
Fairy Fencer Dark Force
Tropico 5
Guilty Gear Xrd

3rd party games also sell more than exclusives do. Just look how badly Forza Horizon 2 and SSO sold. Sony already has their own flagship games in MLB, Ratchet and Tearaway.

@InTheLab TR is just a timed exclusive. Not only that, but it's coming to 360 as well so if it's that important you play right away and have a 360, play it on that.

If you require "Big flagship titles" constantly, you bought the wrong platform. Sony has plenty of exclusives titles, but they have always had a very diverse and sometimes niche lineup. Exclusives this year:
The Tomorrow Children
Rime
Until Down
Ratchet and Clank
Wild
Tearaway Unfolded
Fat Princess Adventures
Alienation
Everybody's gone to the Rapture

So, if none of those appeal to you, or you just have to have all your exclusives be huge budget AAA titles, you bought the wrong platform. See if you can trade your PS4 in for an X1.

sony does not need to have 2 big games a year out like MS does, (if they are lucky) they do it all year.

also tomb raider is multi plat infact it will no doubt be better when it goes to ps4.

Well.. since we're talking about reality, there's also the reality it only affect US and UK, where sales are neck-to-neck.

Let's face it, exclusive games don't really matter, tradition and where your friends play are the ones that matter the most.

No exclusives in any console can justify having to isolate yourself from console many of your friends are playing on. Not Uncharted, not Mario, not Halo. We can live not playing one of these, it's just like picking between Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur.

Talking and sharing about games is the most important factor in choosing which console. In this, PS dominate the rest of the world.

No one to talk about the game with is a huge turn-off for most consumer, great game or not.

============================= ============

Well, that's all about reality, now let's go back to argue about which console have better exclusive between us minorities who come to game forums.

@InTheLab: I remember when you used to have reasonable comments. That is: comments that contained reason.

No console will ever have a library that's perfect for any one gamer. Who gives a shit if nothing else coming out this year catches YOUR eye? You're one of 20 million people, not even a drop in the bucket. The same goes for me, but then I'm not trying to discredit any console's library in its entirety because it lacks what I, personally, want.

Tomb Raider is NOT a flagship title. It's fairly large, but it's multiplatform AND multigenerational. And while you talk about losing in the fall, do you SERIOUSLY think Tomb Raider will be capable of catapulting the XB1 to a worldwide sales lead, even for the holidays alone? Well, maybe, if you only consider here in the US. But then, how did that work out for the XB1 last holiday?

Has the PS4 struggled? Or has that become the narrative? People are still calling DriveClub a broken mess... the same people that praised MCC from the start, despite its problems. If you're looking for the same number of exclusives that you're used to on the PS3, you must be relatively new to gaming. These are the first years, and they're never stacked. What IS present is pretty good, and quite varied.

And what does the XB1 have that's SO much better? The same things as last year that didn't help it at all? Why do you think things will change? Why are you ignoring so much of the year for the sake of your argument?

Last 9 months? The PS4 has- as it did last year- games for the majority of the year, and as always, there will be games announced throughout the year that will come out before year's end.

I swear it's like you've forgotten everything that's happened every year EVER. There is literally NOTHING that indicates that this will harm PlayStation, let alone that it'll benefit the XB1.

Metal Gear won't be a huge system-seller (for PS4 specifically) this time around. It's also releasing on X1 and PC.

I can see it selling relatively better on PS4, but that's about it

Uhhh MGS will sell way better on PS4 just like Ground Zeroes did.

@SoapShoes: MGSV will sell better on PS4, and perform better on the PS4. Ground Zeroes showed the difference, so just wait till people see the open world setting.
