What new IPs are those 15 other studios are working on? We are three years into this gen and Returnal is the only new AAA IP they've released this gen with Wolverine set to become the 2nd one in 2024. 4 years into the gen. What else are they cooking?
Ok...all you are arguing is that they've yet to announce those titles yet, that doesn't mean they have no new IPs, it merely means they are more careful with how they announce games....
They have a strong history of supporting new IP MORE then most publishers to really be crying over this shit and some of the IP people are crying over are literally different IP from what those teams did prior, so us getting 3 Horizon's makes sense, 3 Last Of Us makes sense cause we got more then 3 Killzone and more then 3 Uncharteds.
ND is working on TLOU3.
GG is working on Horizon 3.
Sucker Punch is working on Ghost of Tsushima 2.
Kojima is working on Death Stranding 2.
Insomniac is working on Spiderman 2.
Yet The Last Of Us is a different IP then Uncharted, the other half of ND is working on a new IP
Horizon is different then Killzone
Ghost Of Tsushima is different then Imfamous
Death Stranding is different then MGS
Spiderman is different then Ratchet, Wolverine is literally a new game they are making too
Your argument merely the NEW FUCKING IP they made before is getting sequels, why would they not? That is a normal thing at this publisher to reward successful new IP with sequels, that doesn't mean those teams won't move on as clearly they had different IP prior to this and yet still made new IP.
So its likely Sony wants those games to end or get to a 3rd or 4th game before those teams move on, but that isn't unusual or some sign that they don't support new IP or something.
Why are we defending ND making TLOU3? especially after they didnt release a new IP the entire gen last gen?
Why would they not make a 3rd game of one of the most successful PS titles of all time? the fuck? Slimy stop man, the other half of that team is making a new IP already, you'll just bitch about that game too when its revealed lol
We got Uncharted 4, Lost Legacy and The Last Of Us 2 last gen
During PS3 we got Uncharted 1,2,3 and The Last Of Us 1....clearly development times have changed and it takes longer to put games out and its more expensive, that is your answer to why you didn't get a fucking new IP last gen man, stop trying to force this fake narrative as if NEW IP is some thing Sony is scared of as if that is why we didn't get one by them this gen, they are not skipping Uncharted 4, they are not ignoring The Last Of Us 2, they don't have the time to put that new IP out during the PS4 gen and it makes sense to save it for PS5 based on timing.
Thats it.
I don't even think I needed to really tell you that majority of game developer are not putting out this massive volume of titles compared to several gens ago.
