It literally took 3 gens for Sony to get this big recognition from the public. In 2013, Sony had a stellar year with TLoU, God of War Ascension, GT6, Puppeteer, Beyond Two Souls, Killzone Shadow Fall, Rain.
Since 2015, Sony WWS is on a roll with Goty and Gotys contenders every single year. From Bloodborne (2015) to Uncharted 4 (2016), then Horizon (2017). GoW and Spider made 2018. This year TLoU 2 will probably be the bigger one from them. 2020 and beyond are also in the pocket with their next games. This isn't an uninspired formula, this is just something MS dreams to achieve with all their acquisitions. Maybe one of them will bring a game as good as a Sony Worldwide Studio production.
This reputation grows with results not with empty promises. That's what Xbox fans don't understand. No uninspired formulas would take them this far and bad games are just bad games in the end. That's why MS suffered so much.

>Proceeds to list 6 games, one which is unreleased and two of which are third party, and all of which share the same third person uninspired formulaic "Sony" ethos people are talking about
What is Sony's next game? Third person narrative driven, what is their game after that? Third person narrative driven, and after that? Third person narrative driven... Quality games sure, but y'all need to accept when people call a spade; a spade. If Ford started only manufacturing different varieties of the Mustang they would still be an auto-manufacture, but at the end of the day they're only making Mustang's.
Microsoft needs quality, Sony needs variety, nothing is perfect.And that's all we need in the end.
That's what MS so desperately needs. Quality games.
So an attack helicopter sim?I want a studio fully staffed by minority raced women, making games about climate change and fat shaming.
Could they somehow make BioWare be one of the studios they purchase?
Yeah, it's been a while. They've gotten by on their name for a long time now imo.Does anyone even care about Bioware anymore? What was the last great game they made, Mass Effect 2 a decade ago?
Microsoft needs quality, Sony needs variety, nothing is perfect.
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sales ratio has largely remained the same since launch over the course of the last 5 1/2 years regardless of the game climate.You explained why people are buying ps4 and not xbox. lol

No it's not, it's always tetered around a 2:1 to 2.2:1 ratio, that hasn't changed regardless of Sony or Microsoft's output.this is false.

Come on... you are being purposefully ignorant.What a joke, money doesn't solve all issues and if they can't make a partnership with Platinum work and constantly have issues with game development , then it is a corporate culture problem.
There hasn't been 1 decent game produced by Xbox this gen outside Cuphead, Ori and Forza. There is no track record and they don't have Epic and Bungie to lean on anymore. Just a bunch of discount studios. I'll beieve them when I see something noteworthy.
The context was in my post, they've retained a 2:1 to 2.2:1 sales ratio throughout the course of the 5 1/2 years of this generation. Even when Sony had pretty weak offerings for games in the beginning of the generation and Microsoft arguably had better ones nothing shifted, when Sony started getting an onslaught of games in 2017 nothing shifted, it was business as usual on both sides and still is.this is as much BS as percentages. without context it is useless data.
But we know after each year the gap only grew and now it is more than 50 million units. they launched at the same time. this is why MS started to hide the numbers and you know it.
Template? There is no cookie cutter or asset flipping device at any Sony studio.Sony's game template has become extremely uninspired and same'ish, and while they sell great it's nonetheless uninspired. Sony has excellent quality games but the formula is and has been wearing thin. Microsoft may be outputting what some consider mediocre games but their template is all over the map and much more like gaming from the past in terms of risk taking. The best way I can describe some of their games are the old and now absent AA market. You know the Midway's, Acclaim's, Crave Entertainment's, Iguana Entertainment's etc, that's the vibe I derive from Microsoft's stable.
Sorry if I came off too harsh, I do think xbox are making an effort and moving in the right direction. I'm interested to see what they make in the next few years and I'd much prefer Xbox succeed than Google.Come on... you are being purposefully ignorant.

IOI owns it so yes MS would get it then.
Microsoft needs quality, Sony needs variety, nothing is perfect.
After Days Gone it’ll probably be either Dreams or Concrete Genie actually...
who doesn't? doesn't seem like Sony does anymore. regardless of them wanting to buy studios or not. a very lage number of studios will probably put out games for every console not named a playstation.
microsoft already has more studios than Sony. its 13 to 12 right now. and after this the difference would be huge. objectively if these studios put out good games we can't say that Sony is the best at SP games. because they wouldn't be.
literally every sony game looks like naughty dog game.uncharted the axe man and his son. uncharted, biker zombie gank. uncharted, guy and girl with zombies. uncharted. ancient japan.
congrats sony. you find your own ubisoft template.
this video is the best video ever. its my soul animal.
Because MS is potentially gonna buy em’.
#84Sounds plausible, I was wondering when would MS snag IO.
I love IO so I hope MS will not butcher them if true. But I thought Relic was Segas?

Why is days gone even mentioned in an aaa topic.
I don't know why Xbox fanboys complain..
That's a great comment and all but let me stop you right there, no one gives a fuck about VR.
Seriously but two of these companies are solid gets. The third I see the reasoning for kids market of games for gamepass. They should just buy up Sony, would have a return on investment in around 10 years.
Just because you don't care about VR, that doesn't mean others don't. It doesn't surprise me that you would respond like this based on our previous conversations. You really have a habit of posting ridiculous stuff. lol
It's just my minimal level trolling to see who will bite and we can get a good laugh out of with a few paragraphs worth of a response
Well I have zero interest in Sony's first party output so it seems that everyone does not need this.And that's all we need in the end.
Seeing as MS stopped releasing sales figures for the XB1, what are you basing this off?The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sales ratio has largely remained the same since launch over the course of the last 5 1/2 years regardless of the game climate.
Uh-huh, keep pretending this is true. Also, please list this amazing variety MS has.Microsoft needs quality, Sony needs variety, nothing is perfect.

Game pass just keeps getting better and better. Amazing value with the amount of exclusives coming.
Meh, they haven't exactly purchased any remarkable studios yet and it looks like that isn't really set to change.
They're currently having trouble staying afloat, aren't they? Not exactly a good sign your games are high demand, quality products...
I think Capcom owns the IP. Not entirely sure, but it wouldn’t make much sense for Microsoft to own a game that never made an appearance on any Xbox console or, for that matter, had any entries since like 1999 or 2000.
Lets play this again, shall we?They could use the sony devs to create actual games, not rollercoaster rides. Hype hype, gfx over performance, no or bad MP, half game half cutscenes. They are made to win awards.
VR and PSN games don't count because they're inconvenient to your argument? lol. So you're just going to throw a hissy fit and not even play? Well thanks for trying, you lose anyway.List wars wont gain you anything when more then half of it is VR and meh psn shovelware. The remaining are 3rd person cinematic 30fps movie games, siding to zombies somehow.
In terms of gaming I prefer Sony's platform. Yep. That said, I haven't dedicated my life to liking every anti MS & Nintendo post on the site and ONLY shit post about them. You need to seek help, my misguided friend. This is no life for a human to lead on the internet.Edit: your posts are mainly pro sony.
MS were famous for doing this last gen, lol. Try harder.If a company needs to lock games/content to only their platform, thats not a healthy sign.
That said, I haven't dedicated my life to liking every anti MS & Nintendo post
You crying about Sony's games in a thread about MS buying studios is even more telling. I posted as a response to you, btw. Don't pretend my post exists in a vacuum. Also you trying to flip the fanboy card on me is pretty funny. I present to the court exhibit A: Your post history. Click user name, scroll down to "Latest Activity", click "Show Older Items".You posting list wars about Sony games in a MS that bought studios thread is telling.
How are most of Sony's games third person action movie games made to win awards if they're also "VR/psn free shovelware"?List wars dont prove anything if most of the content is VR/psn free shovelware.
You sure can. It makes you look like a sad, obsessed fanboy, but hey, you're right. You can like what you want. At least you're being honest and admitting your sole purpose on GAF is to like anti Sony posts.The like button is there for a reason, people can voice their opinions, and i can "like" them as i please.
