Yea, that a great point.
They're sitting on several popular dormant IPs that they ought to start reviving.
With the age of 3rd-party exclusives coming to an end, 1st-party efforts will be critical in differentiating Sony's console from the others.

What's the Nier debacle?

I hope you're not expecting more then HD remasters.
Sony calling it a PS4 exclusive on stage, despite PC version already being announced, and the subsequent radio-silence from SE about the PC version.
I expect some attempts at reviving old IPs if the remasters are successful.

Square Enix won't advertise or say anything about the PC version of the game. Recently they put up a video on their press site announcing the release date for the PC version as being on March 10 alongside the PS4 release date of March 7. A couple news sites uploaded this. Soon after SE took down that video from their press news site and uploaded a new one only showing the PS4 release date, however the encoding times show that the version showing both dates was made AFTER the version showing only the PS4 version, which means that it likely wasn't an accident that it was made. However, SE hasn't commented on this and won't say a word about it, only advertising the PS4 version.
Because of this, people theorize that Sony paid SE to only advertise the PS4 version. Also as the other person said, Sony called the game an exclusive during a stream they hosted after the PC version was announced.

Now THAT would sting. Sony couldn't get Crash for PSAS, but Nintendo gets him for Smash.
Not sure what is happening with this game, was never announced as an exclusive though.
But didn't the developer tweet that it.was exclusive earlier today?
Also not sure why Sony Ireland would have the low down on this game, so certainly would not ne paying much attention to that source either way.

Back then activision and sony weren't partners at all, if psabr would have released today he would be in. Sony and ND used crash without ever mentioning activision in uc4 .
Barely a debacle, just se rectify a mistake it made due to marketing agreement.
Sony Ireland tweeted it was exclusive yesterday, deleted the tweet, and now clarified.
is this actually surprising?
we have final fantasy, tekken, street fighter, mega man and tons of other games already available on other systems than the original. crash was already on gc and xbox, i dont see a problem crashs original trilogy hitting other systems.
my problem is more that of the quality and the playability will be the same.
its hard for me to justify that.

Still don't get how Sony could get around the Crash in UC4 thing without mentioning Acti, as Acti owns the OG Crash games.

It was Sony Ireland not the developer who earlier tweeted it was exclusive
They then deleted that tweet
Now they put up the new tweet saying first on ps4

Hopefully the exclusivity is short so Actvision can gage overall interest and decide the future of the Crash franchise.
Cloud was bad enough.

For $40 you would be crazy not to. Barring some insane catastrophe.

The made up conspiracy that somehow Sony paid SE to not talk about the PC version of Nier (and before it was revealed it was indeed coming at the same time, they paid for an inexisting delay, obviously).
To be fair, Acti is perhaps the biggest third-party publisher in the industry, financially speaking, and has historically ignored the idea of arbitrary perpetual exclusivity. There isn't a realistic offer Sony could have made that would have compelled Acti to give up control over its own product.
I hope so. Im probably gonna sell my PS4 but I want this.
Honestly the fact that Smash had Snake but Playstation All-star got Raiden and only because they wanted to promote Metal Gear Rising, is pretty bad.
Smash getting Cloud was just them trolling, as unlike Snake he's more connected to the Playstation.
Honestly though Sony didn't even try with Playstation All-star and it shows.

It's more likely to be on the Wii then it is the Vita.
All-Stars happened about two or three years too soon. Although waiting for the success of the PS4 would have put them in direct competition with Smash 4. That would have been entertaining.
only when is a Sony exclusive , people are hypocrite

Crash hasn't been a "Sony thing" for over a decade. People really need to let go of this line of thinking. Doesn't matter if the original trilogy was, the series had a very long life outside of that ecosystem. The only way it was staying exclusive is if Sony either funded it (good) or if they paid for the exclusivity (bad).
The property has been associated with multiple platforms for YEARS, and this weird idea that remasters of games have to be exclusive if the originals were exclusive is ignorant and bad.
Also, I JUST considered the idea of Crash being in Smash. You know what to do, Sakurai.
This recent 3rd party marketing exclusive stuff is silly, but Sony is on a roll right now imo. An avalance of exclusive or console exclusive games all year. What they are doing is annoying (PC gamers mostly) but its working.

Fucking sweeeeet, will buy on Nintendo Switch. It is a perfect console for it.

Even if it doesn't, that's another less game to add to the PS4 library, especially as they'll most likely be a Switch version, hopefully.

Your list is odd. Many of the games you mentioned were never playstation 4 exclusive to begin with and you even include MP titles from "last" generation. And having these titles multiplatform dosen't mean they are not apart of playstation library that means that they are in addition to all of the actual announced exclusives.
This entire thread is very odd. Many didn't realize that Sony didn't own crash ip?
Is this a parody post or a reference to something? Cause only 4 or 5 of those 28(?) listed games were revealed as/believed to be PS4 exclusives for a certain amount of time. And if you're saying they belong to franchises traditionally were exclusive to PS, I don't see anything there that already hadn't shown up on other platforms last gen. so...
Yeah, it's gotta be a reference to some other post, because otherwise, yikes.

The reason I listed some last gen games is because I have yet to play them & that they're all on PS4 & PC now. Basically trying to catch up. Plus I didn't say that all of them were PS4 exclusive; Read the edit.
What I'm saying, is that there may be no reason to buy it on PS4 now that it may be coming onto other platforms such as Switch & PC.

Sometimes I feel that people forgot that FFVII launched on PC as well in that generation.

But what if he's right... lol
Smash Bros isn't a PC fighter
the pc was an afterthought, as far as FFVII was concerned. it was developed by square purely to see if they could milk anymore sales out of the title. remember, the only other two platforms this game could be released on was the saturn & the n64, and those were def no go's.
this port only came into fruition after FFVII already shot its load on the psx ecosystem.
i'm not sure if you were around in those days, but FFVII wasn't just the posterchild of the Playstation 'juggernaught', it was the symbol that represented the breakdown of relations between nintendo & squaresoft.
in short, this game fundamentally highlighted nintendo's biggest hubris in that generation.
FFVII & playstation are so closely linked to each other, that of course it would be shocking to see that cloud was in smash, and further to that point, that he couldn't even be secured for a sony brawler that celebrated mascots linked to the playstation market.
personally, i really don't care. i owned a playstation that gen too, and i absolutely loved it, but I can see why this sort of 'thing' may seem like a big deal to many -especially as far as "video game politics" are concerned.
Your entire statement is sad, but as for your Gears comparison specifically it was not really an option for it to be exclusive (the first game was ported to Windows Vista) as Microsoft was the franchises publisher. So that guaranteed it's exclusivity until Microsoft purchased the IP from Epic Games.
If your going to make a comparison, make sure you know what your even talking about first.
Jesus fucking Christ how can you post something like that and not think that you may have gone completely batshit insane in your reasoning
Don't let anyone put you down, you are a hero and I like you. Stay strong!

I don't know why people want that game to be exclusive. It's not utilizing the power of the PS4 and it's not even a system seller by any means. Let other platform owners enjoy it!
You said it before editing it, hence the responses.

Even with the edit, your comment is bizarre. Why even go to the trouble of listing a load of third party releases and make a point of them not being exclusive ?
