A Sony Stan ponders "where the games at"

11 pages of excuses, deflections, and attacks just for admitting the obvious

So we all know Sony's reluctance/inability to buy exclusivity for games from third parties (read: Titanfall). It was nearly the PS3's achilles heel, and the practice (or lack of) seems to be carrying over into the PS4. For years it's been obvious that Sony relies on its own stable of first-party studios to deliver the "exclusive goods" where it can't get them from third party developers.

Yet, is this vaulted "Savior First-Party" support going to materialize anytime soon? We have one first party game that's been delayed twice, one that has never had a date or release window associated with it, leaving one lone first-party game seeing release prior to E3.

Between the three we've probably had ten to twenty new screenshots released in months with a seemingly total blackout on anything happening internally with Sony's developers. We're two months from Second Son's release and haven't seen any substantial media for a good long while, and certainly nothing outside the same area of the city they've shown over and over. This is the reveal schedule for a game six months out, not two, and I can only assume there's nothing polished enough to show yet . . . two months out.

Is Sony really going to sit around until E3 to 1) release information on announced games that don't yet have release dates, 2) reveal new development. Are they really going to let the first half of the year go by and let the library languish, perpetuating the feeling that "Hey, this machine we billed as a GAME MACHINE FIRST AND FOREMOST really has nothing coming from us until October at the earliest, but hey, at least our Netflix app actually works properly"?

If Sony intends to not pay money for third party exclusivity than they don't have the luxury to sit back and arrogantly play an elongated game of radio silence with their studios and what's coming from them. Launch goodwill can and will turn sour very quickly, and if the radio silence continues up until E3, and their showing at E3 is lackluster? Hohoho, I can't wait to see the gaming press pounce and put them in their place.

You stans are in for a rude awakening this gen. Sony doesnt have the cash to invest in a bunch of huge exclusive games, which is why they are concentrating so much on indies. Sony lost its market share dominance a long time ago, so they won't be getting any 3rd party exclusives. I hope y'all like iphone games

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

My barber was lining me up and was like, the PS4 needs some games. I have don't those issues. I have both but have been gaming on the XB1

nobody wants to even entertain what he said

IMO the whole situation just points to both consoles being rushed. Watchdogs and DriveClub delayed. lackluster launch titles (Ryse, Knack, etc). indie game padding. BF4 shenanigans. missing features. Infamous push back and blackout. Planet Side 2? various games with a fairly wide window for release...

but what does it matter when your system is selling like crazy...

So when NeoGAF doesn't agree with your agenda it's "who cares about NeoGAF?" or "f*ck NeoGAF, they blah blah blah..". But y'all quick as f*ck to quote something from NeoGAF as gospel as if you received it from God himself when it goes with your agenda.

mufukkaz act like they've never bought consoles around launch before.

Ain't no quoting as "god himself....."

Just laughing at how buthurt Sony stans act all over the net. Y'all do the same thing here criticism of anything Sony is invalid and everything Sony does is perfect.

Now we got Sony Stan infighting between the ones that actualy want Sony to deliver, and those that only care about wining some imaginary war with Xbox.

Oh yeah and

We have and every single one has been better than the ps3/4 launches. Only Sony stans are used to having no games to play at launch

 

[Cladyclad]

But don't sony have a higher attach rate when it comes to buying games than X1?

that's kind of the thing. some people think admitting anything is wrong is like admitting defeat in the 'console wars'. I think dude's (OP on neogaf) post was kind of hyperbolic (like most internet rage), but all of the canned "it's only been 2 months" responses were pretty dismissive as well

does that have to do with this thread?
