have they bought a single new studio? NO. Have they gone on a massive hiring spree to grow their studios and allow for more projects at each studio? NO. Have they hired second parties like Obsidian or Insomniac to start work on new exclusive games for them? NO.
So the answer is NO. No, they aren't preparing to win next gen. They will be even more pointless than they are now.
It reminds me of when I was playing MAG ON ps3 there was this guy who me and a few others were kicking his butt, he kept bragging he was a millionare and could "buy and sell us all". Money means nothing. Talent does, and Sony has talent. Microsoft buys names and let's all the talent leave like with rare and lionhead ( pretty sure most of media molecule were originally part of lionhead)
Because it is just there because they are too cheap to invest in NEW games. It's like you buy a car and they don't release an engine for it but here's a rig to hook up a horse from your old carriage if you still got a horse.
Yeah while they play the terrible licensed Spiderman games with thier backwards compatibility Sony fans instead have a NEW and greatly improved one.
Mario + rabbids was an amazing new IP.
If you are using a PS4 or X1 you risk bricking your Switch. If you don't buy 10 switch games a month you risk bricking your Switch. And if you show gameplay on youtube your Switch will be bricked and Miyamoto will come to your house and chuck a brick into your face
I think we will get a online focused shooter announced from Sony this year. Even Nintendo has one with Splatoon and that is all Microsoft has ever been with Halo and Gears. Sony has had many great shooters over the years (Mag, resistance, kill zone, warhawk, socom etc) but all are dead series at the moment and all would probably fail to work in that "esport" twitch stream focused world that shooters now relish in. So I think we will either see something that kinda falls into battle ...
Go to project wonderful and stop using these shady companies. This is not a new problem, you keep saying you'll fix it but never do
worldwide timed exclusives
microsoft has nothing to show. they have a halo game, a fable game, a Forza, crackdown, and that's about it, maybe a gears but then you compare it to Sony.
Sony has tlou2, dreams, Spiderman, days gone, concrete genie, death stranding, ghost of Tsushima, and a host of VR games aready announced.
The switch is still 8th gen. Just like the Atari 2600 and 5200 are the same generation just like the Sega system 1-3 and master system are the same gen.
Supersonic, no look at the pippin or that bandai/canon system.

The difference with Sony closing studios down, they gave freedom and chances. They are a business, not saints so yeah if an investment is bad then eventually it isn't worth keeping open. Mag by zipper wss my favorite game ever but zipper failed 3 times before Sony pulled the plug. Mag failed, Socom 4 failed, and section 8 failed.compare that to lionhead, didnt even release the game
Extreme sport genres and skateboarding games both need a AAA comeback
I think of this as more of an art program like Photoshop than a game. I hope to use it for many things.
I can use it to help me draw comics (I suck at backgrounds and perspective) I can build a scene in here and then get the camera positioned just right, then trace that as backgrounds.
If I get the hang of it I hope to go a step further and use it to make animated short films and post them to youtube. The game is a complete suite in one, I can make the models, animate them,...
they have a meter in this. only played the beta for first lbp (was burned by an issue deleting the recreation of Uncharted I was making in game which I spent over 20 hrs on) but from what I remember you could only have like 3 "worlds" in lbp, and it makes sense that it didn't have a meter but this does. We are actually creating objects not using premade stuff. File sizes would get out of hand without a meter (like 10gb files or more easily)
my fear is the limitations of the amount of content you can put in, I want to use it to make little animations but I know they have a meter and when it fills that is all you get. I could see making each cut its own file and then editing them together externally but not sure how many separate DREAMS you can have on a ps4 account. might have to make multiple accounts so I can work around that. I fear there will be a lot of workarounds to doing something on the level that I want to use it for......
You do realize that that has nothing to do with anything.
For years ubisoft, a family run company has been fighting to keep a major corporation from taking over. This is a win g creators and the little guys who build something through the old fashioned method, hard work.
They are nothing alike. They share a genre, and lbp3 created that genre, and they share a developer. Beyond those two things they are nothing alike.
Dreams is a full music creation suite
Dreams is able to 3d print mock ups for toys or inventions even.
Dreams is in 3d
Dreams doesn't even use polygons so it is a complete revolution in gaming just from a technical standpoint
Watch the streams of that game and see how crazy unique it is
Dream isnt anything like lbp. Dreams let's you build 3d models you can print. It lets you build full games and possibly even sell them on pan store. If you are looking for a new and revolutionary game, nothing matches dreams
make a spiritual twisted metal sequel. That genre has been abandoned for nearly a decade. A WHOLE genre he invented. I'd love a car combat game but with a deep story mode where you could create and customize your own vehicle and use parts of cars you destroyed to build a bigger and badder car.
