Gravity Rush 2 next year will make it the best year this gen.
Plz no delay
Why would MS say soemthing like this? Their lineup killed it this year.
When referring to first party titles most have of course have in mind games made by Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft for their own plattforms. But of course, how do you define a game like Smash Bros, which was mostly developed outside Nintendo or Bloodborne, developed by From and Sony? Shit is muddy. I for example would not count Street Fighter 5 or Bayonetta 2 as first parties, but they are exclusives to varying degrees and wouldn't be possible without the plattform holders.
We probably need more labels for all of these inbetween cases.
-Kingdom Hearts 2.8 HD
is that a real name for a game

Yes?
Not sure if serious or just woefully ignorant of how much better MS' lineup was this year.

Fixed.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but most of their games underperformed right?
Ori came out in March, Rare Replay came out in August, that's as many good exclusives as the PS4 got all year. If you want to be dismissive of things like Halo, Gears, Forza, and Tomb Raider (Not really exclusive, but a year is a looong time to wait) you might as well be dismissive of every Nintendo game in an old franchise as well, or shit Bloodborne for that matter, Uncharted 4, everything. Reality is they were all stellar games an they all came out this year ON TOP of all the multiplat shit that everyone got. So, yes, it was a very good year.Not ignorant at all, it was a decent lineup, I just don't think it came close to "killing it," not when it consisted of the same old franchises they've relied on for forever and especially not when the first 8 months of the year were barren wastelands.
It was a very weak year for Sony's first party. Did they have anything besides The Order 1866 and Until Dawn? Bloodborne was a third party exclusive
Until Dawn and Bloodborne were all I needed this year.
BB's technically not "first party", but in terms of exclusives at least.

Not sure what sales have to do with the quality/quantity of the titles, since that's what this thread is about.

The PS4's line-up next year is astonishing. And then the harsh reality sets in as you realise a bunch of those games are going to be delayed to 2017. Gravity Rush 2, Horizon, maybe even The Last Guardian - it'll be a delayathon.
Have you played it before? No? Then it's new. Development troubles have nothing to do with it.Is he seriously calling The Last Guardian "new" at this point?
And no Horizon 2016 drop?
I think TLG is like the safe bet about being delayed.
Horizon will come out, the devs got a good record, don't remember any of their games being delayed, at least not the recent ones.

He was right. The only great Playstation exclusive I've played in the past five years or so has been Until Dawn, which I adore so hard you'd think it was some sort of puppy.
Street Fighter and No Man's Sky are not exclusives.
He's right, still enough the beat the competition @ same price level. Next year PlayStation will be a beast.
I dunno, I think it's fairly clear, especially in the case of Smash Bros and Bloodborne. They're funded, published and owned by their respective platform holders, so while they may have been developed externally, they're still first party games. It's not like those kind of deals are new, they've been around for forever. If Smash Bros and Bloodborne aren't first party games then Earthbound, Pokemon, PaRappa the Rapper and a shitload of other games aren't either.
Whereas games like Street Fighter V, Bayonetta 2, Dead Rising 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, etc. were only partially funded by first parties and/or are still owned by third parties, so they're third party exclusives.
I don't think we need any more labels, people try to make these things far more complicated than they are.
Whoa! I need to watch some videos of this.Gravity Rush 2 next year will make it the best year this gen.
Plz no delay
And Team Ico got a good record of not releasing a game for 10 years, what is another year to them?Naughty Dog had a good record of not delaying their games too, until TLoU and Uncharted 4.
Definitely the weakest first-party out of the big three this year.
last... 5 years?
hahahahahahahaha dear me... did you not play last of us or bloodborne?
If he did then he obviously didn't like them. What's the problem? I didn't like TLoU at all. It happens.
I think the term "second party exclusive" is very imporntant here. It's an important because it seperates the game from Sony produced first party titles. Another bloodborne could not possibly be made properly without From and Miyazaki. Unless you think Sony could produce a decent Bloodborn 2 by themselves.

But these games are exclusives. Isn't that matter?

We didn't see anything from this game since E3, and even than it felt like the old trailer demo, nothing too concrete, Horizon had a nice juicy reveal and lots of details (+another demo) afterwards , that's already much more of what we've seen from TLG.
Compared to other consoles ( included WiiU ) the catalog for christmas was a shame, not a single AAA exclusive, just a remastered and expansion...if this is what can offers the most popular console right now, then Im done.
Well at least next year it will be the greatest line up in history.
It was hardly great last year either >_>
Didn't they say this for 2014 too :l?
I get it takes a long while to make video games and rushing them is NEVER a good idea. But still, they could of did a bit more these past two years.
Considering Santa Monica's game was likely a 2015 title before it was canned and Uncharted 4 was originally coming out this year, they had a big game plain for 2015, it was just that plans fell flat (Uncharted 4 needing more time) or projects completely being thrown out the window (Santa Monica's new IP dying...RIP ).
2016 will be an amazing year for PS, as a lot is coming out.
