Is Sony Doing Enough With PS5 Exclusives

Skewed and Reviewed have posted an Opinion Piece which asks if Sony is doing enough in terms of AAA exclusives for the PS5 compared to what gamers were given with the prior systems.

Lifexline1394d ago

We’ll it seems both systems are a little light in exclusives at the moment. But both have promising exclusives coming just patience. Most likely has to do with COVID affecting development.

Garethvk1394d ago

That is the hope and a good reason.

DaCajun1393d ago

These current fanboys on N4G are just as bad as when this site ran rampant with the Xbot fanboys back when this site was new. So sickening that we can't just get News 4 Gamers and enjoy gaming together, instead of these ignorant unsportsmanlike rivalries over companies that only care about your money.

I also like when mostly adults or at least what society classifies as adult on here, call each other kids or some derogatory remark. But in reality most children act more mature than the "adults" making those immature comments. That's not saying much either.

We're gamers can we just please stop with the ignorant bigoted hatred and just enjoy gaming where ever and however we would like to enjoy it.

Covid explains the perceived delays for Sony, but that is a pretty disingenuous excuse for MS given that they have done the bare minimum for over 10 years. I say perceived delays in respect of Sony because personally, I have been more than happy with their output so far considering the complications covid brought in respect of development.

Garethvk1393d ago

I think that is a fair argument. I am just curious what is coming and when will it be announced.

shinoff21831393d ago

Also america was alot more lax when it came to covid restrictions most of the time

dcbronco1393d ago (Edited 1393d ago )

Really. So Microsoft was immune from covid? They have a ton of studios who were all exempt from covid because Bill Gates has the antidote? That's typical irrational N4G logic. Smdh.

@SGarethvk & Shinoff2183

Redmond is in a country that still allows businesses to demand mask even though even Fauci admits they have little effect. They were still heavily limited in July of last year. Japan was one of the least restrictive places on earth. To claim Sony has a covid excuse but not Microsoft means your fanboy is showing or your lack of knowledge.

shinoff21831392d ago

@dcbronco

Im not saying they were immune to it. Read what you want but i am saying is most of ms devs are american and with americas more lax covid restrictions they should have more to show

Don't project xbox problems on PlayStation.

Sony first party released, GT7, Horizon Forbidden West, MLB The Show 22, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, plus The Last of Us Remake and God of War are coming.

They also had Stray, Sifu, Ghostwire Tokyo and Babylons Fall among others release as console exclusive.

P.S. Excellent clickbait.

Crows901393d ago

And demons souls, returnal, ratchet and clank, astrobot

Sitdown1393d ago

Did you miss the part where it says AAA exclusives? And then in comparison to their previous systems.

dumahim1393d ago

Most of those are not PS5 exclusive.

itsmebryan1393d ago

Sony is doing what they need by bringing their games to PC. It opens their games to a larger market the last will in turn give them more money to make more games. It's a win win for them and everyone else.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, this is an objectively true statement. It's also the reason exclusives are also coming to PS4, the COVID chip shortage has kept the PS5 user base in the low numbers, so PS5-only Sony exclusives would suffer in sales.

It's early in the generation I think Sony has done more than others have in past and present but until we get games only made for current generation consoles I don't think much has changed

I understand that last generation has been dragged further due to market post pandemic condition

They still have amazing games coming and so much hasn't even been announced yet. And another thing are the acquisitions. Around gamescom we should hear something about arc system works or square enix

Garethvk1394d ago

I would hope thwt after Gamescom and Pax Sony will do a major State of Play and hopefully reveal a PSVR 2 launch and new games.

Seraphim1393d ago

idk, part of me sees this shift in PS as whole the past half decade or more. Where they're no longer interesting in taking as much risk, where they focus on trying to be in the hot market as opposed to truly being creative; to some degree. I highly doubt we'll see games like Gravity Rush, PaRappa, Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, etc in the future. At the same time they do have an arsenal of teams, talent and IPs at their disposal along with hopefully some new IPs; not licensed. So at the end of the day they will have exclusives and great games throughout the course of the PS5s life cycle. At the same time because all these games so similar, personally, I'm feeling a bit fatigued by it all. It really is 3rd person over the shoulder for almost everything coming out PS. Thing is, if it's one thing that has kept me a PS gamer it's their ability to create great games and IPs I love and that is not going change; at least not this generation.

I'd also really like PS to invest in creating a Japanese studio to focus on epic RPGs. Perhaps even a studio working on PS2 esque action hack n slash games like the original God of War, DMC, Bayonetta, Vanquish, etc. I feel that style of game has just faded from existence.... back to RPGs. Sure we often get some exclusive RPGs but it's long overdue, imo, that PS create a studio who is focused on creating epic JRPGs. Xenoblade is a perfect example of how the right team and great game can help drive sales and outside interest. And the entire series is phenomenal. Sure Nintendo has some other great titles but personally, Xenoblade is one reason I would never part with my Switch and am more than happy with having purchased one. 2 cents.

neutralgamer19921392d ago

Issue is when you have the market all to yourself and not just USA but Europe and rest of the world you don't need to do much different

I just hope they aren't taking this success for granted like they did after PS2. Honestly I don't like this new playstation that wants to get GAAS so they can make even less games but make more money

The days of us having mature conversation are long gone and now any criticism is defended by fanboys

sourOG1394d ago

Enough to what? Be on top? It seems so. Enough to do their studios justice? Nah.

TheEnigma3131394d ago

They aren’t doing enough with the stock. Going on two years and still can’t find the damn console. I have given up. Just waiting on the slim version

Aloymetal1393d ago

Don't give up, you'll find one soon. Good luck!

LoveSpuds1393d ago

If you are in the UK I noticed that Shopto had them in stock quite a few times over the weekend. I feel like they are becoming easier to find here, at least from online retailers.

John_McClane1393d ago (Edited 1393d ago )

I see them on Gamestop occasionally (pro members normally get first shot) and there are a few good restock sources on Twitter.

FPS_D3TH1393d ago

Hardly just a Sony problem

LoveSpuds1393d ago (Edited 1393d ago )

It isn't a Sony problem full stop. From Demons Souls and Miles Morales to Horizon and the upcoming GoW, with the likes of Kena, Ratchet and Clank and Returnal in between, Sony have been turning out really good exclusive since launch.

Sony not releasing new games is just a narrative put out by media with a preference for MS, to mask MS's shortcomings as far as I am concerned.

Silly gameAr1393d ago (Edited 1393d ago )

You know, I've noticed something like that too. Sony pretty much is the only one that has put out true next gen games, but they get a lot of push back from the media.

I think it is some kind of deflection ploy to give MS time to release some first party titles, so games can finally be at the forefront of their articles rather than sub services.

They don't want to be to critical of MS right now, so they talk about how awesome gamepass is, and that's going to be the narrative until they actually start coming out with games. It seems like a stall tactic to me.

And I'm not saying that that is what this article is by any means. The writer could really have played all they were interested in, and their PS5 could be collecting dust as they say, but if sony has an exclusive game problem, what do the other consoles have? Let's not single out one console.

John_McClane1393d ago

Another PlayStation article with Microsoft bashing in it.

Garethvk1393d ago (Edited 1393d ago )

But I think one can honestly say that Souls and Morales are not the be-all and end-all titles that would compel a person to buy the system. I lost interest in both of them very fast and the same with the rest.
Also, where exactly do I bash MS in it?

shinoff21831393d ago

Lovespuds i think your spot on. Ive seen sony get alot of bs hate from the media the last year or so. Probably cause the crossplay bs. Wish people would just remember that ms shot it down first during the ps3 360 era so eh plus its really not a big deal.

To the above link kotaku also did a story on it

shinoff21831393d ago

@garethvk

My question is why was this written about sony rather then ms. Xbox is the one with an exclusive game problem at the moment. What have they had and will have this year forza and halo infinite ?

Aloymetal1393d ago

''Sony not releasing new games is just a narrative put out by media with a preference for MS, to mask MS's shortcomings as far as I am concerned.''
Bingo!

Knushwood Butt1393d ago

Started Demon's Souls about a week ago. My first Souls game and generally speaking I really don't like sword and sorcery stuff. I'm now over 20 hours in and have beaten four bosses. Pretty hooked although it can be frustrating,. I like that situation where you want to find out what's around the next corner, but also want to turn back to bank your souls to upgrade, and end up getting wasted!
