And what well polished and technically accomplished games has MS released for the one ?
They bought a couple, but I don't see any from them either.
Truth is, it takes time

Yeah, same here. I'm very happy with having the PS4 now for multiplats.
I'm sorry to burst this bubble of optimism, but this is a brand new generation with machines less than a year old. There are multiple layers to the 2015 delays happening in the industry.
1. Developers have had less than a year with complete, working, 100% retail units to program on. New hardware poses new challenges, no matter how simple it is to work on. Sony's first party was knee deep in esoteric, eccentric, multi-spe programming last generation. Now is the time to optimize, learn, and try new things. This takes time.
2. This is a new generation of games and hence a new layer of complexity. New engines, models, AI routines, and design is being played with. There is a ceiling of the unknown.
3. Sony's output last year for PS3 was remarkable. They hit it out the park, but it also hindered their PS4 output as studios who would have shifted completely to PS4 stuck on PS3 and are now shifting forward. Typically Sony first party titles don't launch in the first year.
4. No one wants to release a half baked product. Coming out early, unfinished, and janky will destroy a brand. Just ask Killzone Shadow Fall. It's better to be late, than to be on time and smell like shit.
So Sony refuses to money hat any exclusives, so when their first parties fall flat on their faces their platform is left with zero exclusives during the crucial holiday season.
Looks like XB1 is going to be closing the sales gap in NA this fall. They deserve it for thinking ahead.

No. March will be stacked. It always is with all the 3rd party delays.
And next year there will be a decent chunk of 2015 games released early 2016

All seemed to underperform or just sort of come and go with a whisper.
I can't wait til Beast Souls is announced for 2015 and eventually comes out 201

Please just don't buy the game. I don't want them changing this. I'll buy two copies so you don't have to buy one kthnx.
I don't think there's a real reason to fear the Witcher...at least compared to everything else that releases in October/November. Most of those games are 2-3x bigger (or more) than Witcher.

For their new IPs I agree. Holiday for any company is a tough time for a new IP. Established Sony brands could do well in the holidays though. Like Uncharted. I think The Last Guardian would do well also because of how much of a story and joke that game has become. It has a lot of mindshare and would be an easy impulse buy in the holiday season.
That's my half hearted plea for TLG to come this year.
Ideally we will get a detailed PR release on the matter from Sony/R@D. They have been rather good with being relatively open about their game development this gen.
It's a bummer really. But I can't imagine sony not having at least one more game for the holidays. My money is on The Last Guardian.
They should be able to have a great E3 this year...tho I wouldn't put it past them to fk it up

I'm saying l want next gen content not a cross platform port with slight enhancements. Given l bought a next gen console it's not an unreasonable request!

Their games released in the first half of the year historically do pretty well.

There were no preceding rumours of many of the games announced at the 2013 PS4 unveiling event, and the rest of the last year's exhibitions. They were tight-lipped back then as well. Yet people now assume, that it's impossible for them to have games no-one knows about.

they sure didn't make it clear at last years conference but it's all apart of the strategy.
Well they have Driveclub. But this is typical Sony, always delays. Insomniac and Naughty Dog were their only timely output.
But, really, better delayed than a broken game.

What does Bone have over PS4 this fall?
I add Singstar if only for Europe.

Sounds like you should have waited. First console release for you?
Parts of it. I liked the game overall but it definitely could have been a lot better.

Or like Respawn's new game being exclusive to Sony.
Or like Sony Santa Monica being in trouble.
Or like Far Cry 4 being set in the Himalayas.
Or like Project Beast's very existence.
You're highlighting the exception as the standard.

PS3 was my first console.
That wasn't the discussion though. The original poster's assertion was that Sony's studios are struggling to produce content. That they have actually managed to do slightly more further highlights my point. Yeah, exclusives are important, but it's not as if these studios are suddenly incapable of making games. It's a new generation and the novelty of the hardware combined with developing original IP means that you have to wait a little while sometimes.

So what 3rd party games besides the witcher do you think will get delayed? It happens every year, I wonder which ones aren't there this time
Probably not anything from EA. They've proven they'll release broken games instead of doing a delay.

Neh, I'm still buying it, it just annoys me when black bars fill up one third of the screen. It almost drove me insane with Dragon's Dogma.

I'm actually hoping it gets delayed because man I have one of those feelings that it's not complete or missing something crucial to the genre.
Second half of the campaign fell apart like Lindsey Lohan after Mean Girls ;_;.
That's what they said about Titanfall.
OT: The Order being delayed shouldn't affect Sony too much, they'll have the superior multi-platform games to carry them, although having one 1st party game in Driveclub (which was delayed from 2013 itself) for 2014 is very unusual.

Why delay this game in the year of Metal gear solid 5, now metal gear solid phantom pain isnt going to win GAF GOTY 2015 and kojima will be sad, just because this sony game is delayed.
If true it's good news for RAD and The Order, bad news for Sony. That'll be two holiday seasons in a row where they lean heavily on multiplatform games to carry their new console barring any major E3 surprises and another high profile first party delay. Not exactly what I was expecting as an early adopter considering their studio output late last gen. Wouldn't blame folks for holding off a while until picking one up if they already have means to play the multiplat stuff.
utter nonsense. In this industry the false/inaccurate rumors/leaks far far outweigh the accurate ones.
Ditto.

I doubt many E3 games will come out this year aside from indies (which will be great). It's not how AAA marketing generally works. It's a goodish list though.
