2024 will be a monster year for PS5
- Thread starter Box
- Start date
Its a shame to see because they should have these teams working full time on it, not starting full production a year after its announced.
You dont care, but people do care. Im more interested to see whats coming from the Studios owned by PS. The ones they have invested into and will be around, proven.
The others could be gone by the next game they make. Just like Bloodborne and Demons Souls were “1st Party” last 2 gens, FromSoft there not making anything for PS atm.
Like Wolverine lol…
There First party Studios, Playstation Studios and the head ( Hermen ) are badly organised this generation and thats all there is to. We shouldnt be operating at the same or slower speeds of PS4 gen. They made tons of money and havent done well with it
The games should take more time and people to be developed than in the previous gen, always has been in that way. Because games have more detail, are bigger and with more stuff. This generation there's the biggest paradigmm shift since moving from 2D to 3D so the high end teams who make engines will take even longer. They will also change the way they work in terms of design, programming and art.
Hermen and Jim decided not only to acquire, but to highly grow their tteams to the point each studio will be able to work in more games at the same time than before, as Insomniad did, to be able to have in the future more frequent releases even if each game required more development time than before.
I know they take longer. I have worked in game development.
Lets see if Sony has done enough to keep up. They made enough money to expand, Time will tell. Insomniac the only one showing its changes.
Insomniac didn't make any change. Insomniac historically released around a game per year or so because unlike most of the other teams who only had a single big development team inside, Insomniac had 3 or 4 because they had a lot of people in their two offices.
One of the reasons of why Jim Ryan and Hermen have been highly growing the manpower of their other 1st party internal development teams is to allow the work in ore big projects at the same time and not only one, as Insomniac already did.
Jim and Hermen also acquired more development studios to work in even more 1st party games at the same time, and also hired more support studios to give their internal teams even more manpower. Or even handle themselves new tasks they wanted to add (PC ports, mobile games, GaaS/MP games etc).
Barely surviving this year. Once BG3 and SM2 are done hopefully I can take a break from gaming for the rest of the year. Especially the way 2024 is coming in.

I think it's a stupid point. Who cares if games are 1st, 2nd or 3rd party. Even more, who cares if they are exclusive or not.
The important thing is having a lot of great great games to be released, having a healthy lineup for the platform where you play.
As I remember Concord (internal development 1st party team) and TLOU2R were announced for 2024. As so are the (2nd party, but still 1st party) Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin and Helldivers 2 and some China Hero Project stuff. Even if they didn't announce release date, Marathon apparently was planned for 2024 but seems to have been delayed to 2025. There's Wolverine and DS2, which could be 2024 but I think 2025 is more realistic.
Then there are unannounced games which could be released in 2024 too, like the next Team Asobi game, Cory's new IP or one of the games under development at Firesprite. There's the Ballistic Moon game: the company has this name since 2019, but just realized that before 2019 Ballistic Moon was called "Game Mechanics LTD", company that existed since 2014. So maybe they were working on their current Sony published game before 2019 and could be ready for 2024.
And there's a rumored 2nd party game by Sumo, which who knows if it's real and in that case who knows when it would be released. And well, they may also have unannounced 2nd party VR stuff in the works. Plus obviously more PC ports on top of the HFW already announced one.
I thought the same just before entering the thread.good job finding this cuz this is hilarious

People go crazy over this and will do gun duel to the death over who is 2nd or 3rd party and which of their games really count in system exclusive lists.
I think exclusives do matter. First-party or third-party? Not as much.
Ultimately, "lots of good games releasing" may not matter as much if they're not releasing on the console you have.
Yes, I meant that what is important is to have a lot of great games in your console -in this case PS5, the one we were talking about-, independently if they are exclusive or not, 1st party, 2nd party, 3rd party or whatever. Which is going to be the case for PS5, I think that as usual most people won't be able to play all the great games of that year released there that they wanted to play. People just want to have great games to play.
We were talking about the year that PS5 will have regarding games released for it. Not about games going to be released exclusively elsewhere and that PS5 users may supposedly miss. Btw I don't know which 2024 Nintendo or Xbox console exclusive were going to miss the PS5 users, I'd say only maybe Hellblade 2 for a few ones who played and liked the first one if it really gets released in 2024 (I think it won't) and if it ends being good (the first one was ok, and if they rush it too much to have it for 2024 may end getting a yellow MC).
If you happen to not have the console where they are (let's say you have an xbox or playstation and you want to play Zelda + Mario, well you're out of luck and you bought the wrong machine).
