Sony : Paris Games Week press conference dated

Let's come back and give this a partial answer after Tuesday and a full answer after PSX. I'm just guessing here, but I think it's because they have games to show.

There will always be people saying there is nothing to play. So, no games saga continues.

That game must have been a total fuck up. Order 1886 released as did 3 Uncharted games so it's not like Sony have high standards in terms of output but blimey, Stig really shit the bed with that game.

What a piece of shit post.
"Hey guys, I don't like a thing and, even though you aren't talking about that thing, here's my opinion on why I think that thing is undeserving of massive critical and commercial success. Oh, all those fans? Yeah, they're all wrong too."

The fuck outta here.

Sounds about right...

Sony has really disappointed me this year, I feel like I have nothing to play this fall unless I get an Xbone since I don't give a shit about the annualized cookie cutter Assassins Creed's and Call of Duty's.

Here's hoping 2016 kills it.


Different parts of the year will be like that for every console. I doubt Xbox one owners had anything exclusive to play for the first 9 months of the year while Sony had probably one of the greatest games of all time in Bloodborne. Until Dawn ( I have not played it ) was also apparently good. If Order did not turn out to be a turd then it could been a decent year.

I know why people like the games, I like them myself. But if it is going to have a pretty strong focus on story, Kratos can't be as unlikable as he is. It brings down the rest of the the game with such a boring character I and many others don't care about.
And what about the rest of us that really LOVE Kratos?

You're allowed to love him although I would like to hear why. I just disagree. The only thing I would say I like about him is his cool visual design.
It's fine to like one dimensional characters, I don't need a character to be complex to like them.
I love his visual design and I think he's just cool and epic, and I love him on his vengeful 'no fucks ' rampage. I don't really need anything else.

The xbone had nearly no first party releases for most of the year until now.
And if we take third partties into account the ps4 has even more games especial for JRPG. Of course those games could not appeal to you.

It's hilarious since the "many others" (lol, wut) that don't care about him are in the minority.

Kratos has always had an obsessive fan base. Everything from his design, to the Blades of Chaos, his tragic story altogether. It's always been interesting to me that I don't know how to feel about him, to feel bad or feel like he's taken shit too far. It's really the reason I love him as a character. The only thing I don't like about recent Kratos is his dialogue. I do wish they'd write better things for him to say, like in God of War 1 and 2. But that's about it. I love him.

A new God of War from Cory is one of the greatest things that could happen to gaming right now. God of War 2 is one of the best sequels, and one of the best games, ever made.

The xbone had nearly no first party releases for most of the year until now.
Shhhh, people like to pretend this isn't true.

Why is everything always turned into MS vs. Sony?

Can't you be disappointed in PlayStation first party development in 2015 regardless how other platforms are handling their first party development?

That's fine for you to like him, and I don't mind one dimensional characters in concept either. Just in a game with a decent story focus I'd like there to be more depth. The bigger problem is that he's written badly IMO and that one dimension about him is really unlikable. Again that's just my personal feelings you can have whatever opinion you what.

The "many others" is in reference to the many people I have seen on GAF, social media, and other gaming sites that say they really don't want the next God of War to have Kratos. I know I'm not in the majority with all the God of War fans that exist, but I'm not pulling the opinion out of my ass.
 
Yeah, the low standards of the Uncharted series. The critical and commercial success whose influence is still felt across the AAA industry.

88, 96, 92.

Yeah, why do Sony keep making those trash games...

What a piece of shit post.

lmao he went in

Hahahah oh god I can't stop laughing hahaha.

All three Uncharted games were fucking terrible, there is no getting around it. The gameplay for all three games was not good at all, it's the one series where I played all three because there was so much hype behind them. But TLOU showed this studio still has the ability to release quality like they did in the PS1 days, I am incredibly excited for UC4 due to that.

Yep, it's been a totally shit year for me gaming wise. The last game I played was a couple hours of Batman in June, not touched a game since. 2016 is going to be great for me though, there is little chance Horizon and UC4 will be pushed into 2017 which has me very excited. PD, Sucker Punch and MM (by FAR my three most fav studios in gaming) will hopefully be releasing their next games soon enough so it's just a case of waiting. Mirrors Edge is my most anticipated 3rd party but this year, it's Star Wars filth for special kinds of people and Black Ops 3 which looks decent enough.

Sony have taken a lot longer than I could have ever expected for their first parties to release even one game at this point. I find it pretty incredible that Kaz Yamauchi, clinging onto any kind of relevancy, has yet to announced GT. I got the fucking console for GT7 yet two years after the console released I still know nothing about it.

Yeah, but you make it sound like you're actually the arbiter of quality.

And obviously that is not the case, nor are you representative of the console market. Nor are you sane in your brain.

I guess I'm kinda excited about the Bloodborne DLC, but I doubt that will hold me off for very long. I really don't like Call of Duty or Fallout, and after Unity I swore off the Assassin's Creed series. *shrug

Gonna pick up an Xbox tomorrow I think for Tomb Raider and Halo 5.
 
Someone got a console for a game that wasn't even announced at that point? And the sequel to a game that came out the December after the console launched (GT6)?

Lmao. Sounds like a personal problem.

Edit: Also, some real advice. People should look to expanding their gaming horizons a bit. I'm on the flip side. I have too many games to play on my PS4 right now.

You're allowed to have an opinion, but don't go around preaching it as fact. Especially when you know how controversial the statement is.

Yeah I've seen some posts here and there calling for a reboot with a different character but it's really not as popular an opinion as it sounds, even on gaming forums, which are all vocal minorities, and especially on the GOW boards I haven't seen any fans calling for a new protagonist. I'm not against it. But I do see why the fans love the shit out of him as well.

After 3's cliffhanger-ish ending, I want to interpret it as
Yes, he's finally out of his misery, and finally got to jump off.
. It would be good closure for him. But they left it somewhat open if that's not the case, especially since it was a post-credits scene, meant to make us think, "where is he?"

Would it be more interesting to see a new character with a new story? Probably.

What games are you playing now on PS4 just for curiosity sake? Maybe you could give me some ideas.

I beat MGSV, Batman AK, Destiny TK and played a ton of Rocket League. I still have the Witcher 3 to beat, but I don't think I'm ever going to get around to it to be perfectly honest since I didn't really like it.

Until Dawn and Tearaway Unfolded, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and/or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter if you like "walking simulators". Judging by the impressions in the OT, AC Syndicate seems to actually be fun again, even coming from people who hated Unity.

Even forgetting about Kratos as a character. I don't know where they could take the franchise anyway. Kratos's story is
possibly done
, and we have fought the gods multiple times. The core concept of the series is great, it just needs a Jumpstart like a new setting and possibly a new character, especially after the middling response to Ascension.

It's a mixture of current and slightly older titles. I'm juggling Until Dawn, Tearaway, FFX/X-2, Disgaea 5, Dragon Quest Heroes and Uncharted Collection right now.

I usually couple this with TLOU multiplayer and Ultra Street Fighter 4 online for the competitive kinda needs.

I don't really like remasters in general, I have no interest in going back and playing Uncharted, Tearaway or FFX for the umpteenth time. Not to discredit any of these games though, they are all fantastic - I've just played them and have great memories of them already.

I'm not big on anime styled JRPG's nor QTE styled story based games so I don't think I'd like Disgaea or Until Dawn very much.

It's all good though, thanks for the ideas.

It's quite obviously my opinion, I'm not going to keep writing IMO because some people aren't bright enough to comprehend that. The only area I could state as fact would be how to keep those choppers in your mouth in good shape but that's about it. :p

It was not exactly a leap of faith to say GT7 would be announced from PD, but I am very surprised they have not said fuck all yet. Yamauchi too busy living the good life than doing work it seems. The games this year have been rubbish through and through, your avatar reminded me of the most overrated piece of shit to come out in 2015. The combat, holy shit I didn't think it could actually be that bad. I mean it's a fucking game, the clue is in the name, get the fucking gameplay to a half decent level.

I guess I'm kinda excited about the Bloodborne DLC, but I doubt that will hold me off for very long. I really don't like Call of Duty or Fallout, and after Unity I swore off the Assassin's Creed series. *shrug

Gonna pick up an Xbox tomorrow I think for Tomb Raider and Halo 5.

Fallout 4 looks like the same old shit and should be in playable form by this time next year for the people into those games. Black Ops MP could be fun but yeah, Halo 5 looks lovely and if I was into the franchise, it would be the reason for getting an XB1. Assassins Creed peaked at 2 but damn when this franchise was good it was very good. I completely forgot that next year we will also be able to finally play The Witness, the first half of 2016 alone is going to be far and away better than the whole of 2015 IN MY OPINION.

They've released games all year, without regard to the holiday crunch period. Xbone wishes they had the same schedule.

It's not a competition to me, I don't really care what Xbox released in what quarter here or there. I'm primarily concerned with the present and what I will be playing and enjoying for the next three months.

You're the one that mentioned it. And you shoot down all sorts of great games, so it's not a matter of SONY disappointing anyone really. You just don't care for the games. It's not like they haven't put the effort in all year long.

Kratos story is not done until they let him redeem himself. Let him save humanity, let him become a true hero and end the saga with a memorable game.

As a great fan of the series, that's what i want.

New setting/cs/protagonist/story etc. = new ip.

How is it not a matter of Sony disappointing me? They did, I didn't like their lineup this entire year outside of Bloodborne.

You seem to continue to miss the point, it's about disappointing me personally. Go read my first post. I said "Sony has really disappointed me this year, I feel like I have nothing to play this fall unless I get an Xbone since I don't give a shit about the annualized cookie cutter Assassins Creed's and Call of Duty's."

If you enjoy the lineup, all the more power to you.

How is the opinion of a couple of marginal players about random games released this year related to the upcoming PGW press conference ? And for that matter, what's up with all those talk about Kratos, the next one won't ever be announced at this event !

Given how racers have been selling this gen, PD needs to take their time and do this right. The genre needs a new injection of life

Bloodborne (still awesome to play and the DLC is around the corner), Talos Principle (best puzzle game in years), Transformers Devastation (excellent combat).

Oh no shit Talos Principle came out on consoles? I remember seeing the Giant Bomb quick look for the PC version and it looked really interesting.
