Games taking longer to be made doesn't apply only to Sony or GaaS, applies to all companies and to all big games. It hapens every generation, because games get bigger, more detailed and with more features and content, and new technologies and techniques that appear and need to be researched learnt, prototyped and implemented. All these things means more work needed to be done.
They should adjust and prepare themselves properly then. They have the money.

Fromsoft has released Sekiro, Elden Ring and Armoured Core since 2019. 3 games in 4ish years. And amazing games at that.
Insomniac has released Spiderman, Spiderman MM, Ratchet and Spiderman 2 since 2018 plus some others.

They have to do better. Otherwise by PS6 Its 1 game from each studio each gen. Not good enough, they must do better. They are the leading video game platform and probably the best in the industry, worth billions.

Bloodborne is pre-2016 as well
Bloodborne, Until Dawn, Driveclub, Infamous Second Son, The Last Guardian, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted 4, all these games had been released.

Spider-man, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, The Last of Us Part 2, Death Stranding, Gravity Rush 2 and Detroit had all been announced at this point last gen as well. Ghost of Tsushima was pretty much their last big announcement for that gen in 2017 (equivalent to 2024 for this gen) before changing the focus to the PS5.

PS5 had a strong first 3 years, but a lot of the big games were crossgen (the PS4 missed on a lot of late PS3 games). Something is off, the cope that Sony now announces and releases game in a shorter windows does not justify the current situation anymore.

To me it does look like Sony thinks that the likes of Fairgame$ and Concord are substitutes for the output that we used to get and I remember that became pretty clear in their press release for when they announced those games, they were really proud lmao.

We did t really start getting a blow out of games on ps4 until 2017 also
Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, were all before 2017. We also knew games like God of War and TLOU2 were coming, along with Horizon before 2017. They were alot more vocal on whats coming.
Plus they should be doing better than last gen, more games. Not less and less news from PS studios. We had record breaking sales last gen

We are pretty much mid gen already and they are nowhere to be seen. PS5 release in 2020, we are 2024 and the next one should be out in 2027 or 2028 at the latest.
2027, they normally release a next gen every 7 years

Uncharted 4, God of War, Days Gone, Horizon, Death Stranding, Spider-man all had great showings and good marketing leading up to their releases, the "greatness awaits" didn't feel hollow at the time.

Now we get years of silence and Sony hyping PC ports and GaaS games on their events.

Playstation 1 released 3rd December 1994
Playstation 2 released 4th March 2000
Playstation 3 released 11th November 2006
Playstation 4 released 15th November 2013
Playstation 5 released 12th November 2020

While the cycle has been 7 years between the past 2 generations, prior to this it was always less than 7, and less than 6 for the PS2. The PS4 had the Pro mid cycle, and the PS5 will likely also have a Pro mid cycle.

Yeah they skipped E3 for like 2 years too after that.

I was expected Sucker Punch to be making a Sly game plus GOT2. ND to have multiple games. Bends new game should be out. “That space game“ Cory Balrog should of been working on something since 2018 with his own team. The new studio making Uncharted 5 or Uncharted 1 remake. Bluepoint Tweets mentioned there working on multiple stuff…. MGS1 Remake…

Meh. If later on in this years show we dont hear about games from these guys and stuff from MediaMolecule its 100% bad management. Not enough resources have been given to the rest of the teams.

They all should be doing an Insomniac plus multiplayer games

Even more reasons not to take longer than 7 years

I'll reserve final judgement for thursday, but if there's no First Party games announced or showed other than GaaS or publishing deals (Death Stranding, Stellar Blade, Ronin, etc) then I will feel validated when I said that Jimmy and Hermie fucked their pipeline for the whole generation.

I think 7 years is the sweet spot, but they need to move their ass.

If they actually have no Uncharted game being worked on in an advanced stage I'm done with having any hope. They should've come up with a solution around 2016 for the next game in the IP without ND.

It better be coming out soon as well, because if they had nothing for $300m we could be looking at a Crystal Dynamic/Eidos-Montréal developed Uncharted + Tomb Raider crossover. How could that no have been worth it?

I would want her as an antagonist early on (like someone competing for the same treasure).

I would also want Nathan Drake being dragged into it again.

Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, were all before 2017
Bloodborne, Until Dawn, Driveclub, Infamous Second Son, The Last Guardian, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted 4, all

Have we not had spider-man 2, ragnarok, Demon’s Souls, Rift Apart, Returnal, GT7/VR, Horizon, etc. also?

Like i said the back Half of the ps4 was the strongest most noteworthy games and that avalanche started in 2017. Everything up to that point outside of Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 weren’t really that noteworthy

First half of the PS5 generation blows the first half of the PS4 generation out the water.

Last half of PS3 was also strongest half and allowed them to right the ship.

It's very disingenuous to be counting cross gens games to pad the PS5 list against the early years of the PS4. As those games are still on PS4 too... Which means you don't need a PS5 to play them

When it comes to in -house console exclusives tit for tat... The PS4 is still the winner launched aligned.

Fromsoft and Insomniac don't do any magic or "do it better" and don't release games faster than the rest of the teams. They take the same development times than any other AAA studio.

The difference is that Insomniac and FromSoft have enough people to work in 3-4 games at the same time, while other studios only have a single project at the same time.

In addition to make several acquisition including support teams, during the Hermen and Jim Ryan era they have been growing the headcount of all their studios to allow them work in more games at the same time.

ND, SSM, Insomniac, Guerrilla, Polyphony or their Japanese XDEV team (previously known as the 2nd party publishing Japan Studio XDEV team) are confirmed to be working on more projects than they ever had at the same time.

More than a year after the PS5 release around 70% of their userbase was still in PS4, PS5 was supply constrained and these games had been under development for many years without having the PS5 hardware, next gen engines or even knowing its tech specs.

So it would have been retarded from a business point to make these games PS5 only and wouldn't have been better in anything, would have been essentially the same games. To release them in both consoles was the right decision.

Even games still to be published like Helldivers 2 and Rise of the Ronin were under development during 3-4 years before knowing the PS5 specs.
