Longer dev cycles or being distracted by forced multiplayer projects?
ND would have likely had a 2024 project ready if Factions 2 didnt balloon from a game mode to an actual game.
Exactly they have put out three games in less than three years. I think its safe to assume that the studio is at max capacity especially seeing that there is no release date for wolverine.
No matter what you say RE4 is stretch to list in a conversation for new AAA exclusives.
And certainly didn’t mind crowding the original FF7R release with two of the greatest games of the PS4 generation in 2020. (GOT & TLOU2)
And listen I’m not a ...
I obviously mean wholly developed Playstation Studios titles.
You really think wolverine is coming next year with Spiderman 2 this year? From the same studio?
KOTOR is third party and has no release date
FF72 third party, not from PS Studios
Resident Evil 4 is out already
@Flawless
Tell me one other year when Sony didn’t have exclusives announced 12-18 months in advance?
Just one year please.
What I’m saying is based on historical evidence. You are saying based on delusion and suppositions.
There absolutely no evidence to support 2024 SP AAA first party releases.
Or how about they don’t have games for 2024. How bout that obvious conclusion instead of jumping through all the mental hoops.
Maybe they should have been working on a single player game since 2020. It would be ready to show by 2023.
You still haven’t given a first party 2024 exclusive game for Playstation.
I don’t care about Xbox and the childish wars and comparisons.
Sony is slowly failing against their playstation 4 standard and it is finally starting to show.
I’ve been saying this from 2021. Sony is the best gaming company by far but they...
Sony is on the wrong track and its time for Sony fans to start admitting it. How are we going into 2024 with no SP first party games set for next year?
This live service focus is going to make Sony go the way of EA, Activision, Ubisoft and Microsoft.
Releasing stupid multiplayer games no-one cares for.
So then why was wolverine shown?
Well tell me whats the big exclusives for 2024?
Why haven’t they been shown yet? Is a 1 year marketing cycle too short?
If yes then why was Wolverine shown?
Where is Bend, Asobi, ND, Sucker Punch what are they doing?
Why is Guerilla and ND working on live service multiplayer games no one asked for? Is that due to creative inspiration or desperate Gaas money grabbing?
The Sony first party line up is...
You see the problem with this line if think is, many people do not like the direction that Sony is heading.
In the game industry it take years to correct course.
The scary thing about this is that wolverine was given a cgi trailer while insomniac was fresh off of Ratchet AND Miles and had Spiderman 2 on the way.
If Wolverine can be announced the where is Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Bluepoint, Bend.
2023-2025 isn’t an unreasonable marketing cycle.
Agreed with need to push against this.
I hate this Jim Ryan guy.
I was repeatedly telling everyone earlier this gen.
This live service push for Sony is not looking good.
Here we are in 2023 after their big state of play with with only one major single player first party exclusive..
If you’re a Sony fan we need to push back. This live service push is driven by greed not by wanting to make good games.
Why is everything negative makes you an xbox fanboy.
It was a poor showcase.
What games are we getting for 2024?
I just took an hour during work to sneak and watch this and wow.
What does Sony have for 2023?
What is Bend, Bluepoint, sucker punch & naughty dog doing?
Also it limits the story.
What if something happens to miles during the story, what happens to coop then?
As it should be.
Someone leaves after making a series of good games. Probably going on to work on something else in life. Good luck.
Someone leaves after making crappy games. Probably got fired or told to move along. Also signs of instability.
Makes sense to me.
@Jack
These guys are stuck in the past. I dont think they understand where AI is today.
For reference, I asked ChatGPT to write a game story for me. I told it pretend like the directors of TLOU, MGS, George RR Martin & Nolan were making a game. Here it is below. (Please imagine this technology in 10 years.
Title: Shattered Echoes
Game Type: Single-player, Third-person Action-Adventure with RPG elements, and strong emphasis on narrative, decision-making and time manipulation mechanics.
The Story:

The problem with this is that it takes years to give them a chance.
4+ years with MP games
(Flunk & Layoffs)
4+ years where they try again with a sequel or another MP IP
Then here you are a decade later a shadow of your former selves with no talent to make a genre defining SP game again.
No company goes GAAS and comes back in tact.
