You forget CDPR, and Rockstar.
CDPR isn't a big publisher and I would be very surprised if the next GTA has an offline mode.

Sony is smart, because they realize third parties will bring GaaS titles to their platform and their first party studios can focus on other things.
And MM still making profits without releasing a gameYeah I'm sure Polyphony is about to be shut down after creating Sony's biggest franchise.
I want to see if Everybody Loves Golf turns out well for them.

Being interviewed seems really fucking annoying.
The IP's been around for years, it obviously does well enough.
Sony for that great story games.
Nintendo for that pure gameplay
PC for anything else
SCE.
Huh.
I feel the same. The homogenization of Sony's big releases to fit the Naughty Dog template hasn't been my favorite development, but I can't fault these studios for sticking to their internal strengths and delivering what the people want since they sell. The sensitivity from Sony fans when you point it out is amusing, though.
They're just buzzwords that the industry has leaned on time and time again. You heard pretty much the same from Bioware PR for the past decade or so.
You'd love books more.
I meant more in terms of monetization beyond just initial sale of the game. Seems like the type of game ripe for it.
nah..Xbox for everything Else.. especially for All online games. nothing Beats Xbox Live.
It's interesting to know what is the core of Sony's first party publishing effort. However, I think the journalist is making some strange assumption of Service-base games.
First of all, what does sevice-base games even mean? Are these games inherently against stories, characters and emotions? I think the line between story-base and service-base games is not so cut and dry as the article implied.
Mobile game coming out soon too. More monetizing to be had there to keep the name alive as wellI meant more in terms of monetization beyond just initial sale of the game. Seems like the type of game ripe for it.
Id love a new mag but they've tried with these games so many times they never stuck like there single playersCant argue that. They've managed to create a diverse and strong bunch of characters in Kratos, Aloy, Nathan, Joel/Ellie, and Ratchet/Sackboy to lesser degrees.
But I hope they give us those multiplayer games like PU's Battleground. Games like that are what they need too.
They need to get a team on SOCOM too, because Rainbow 6 is proof they can make it there.

Online play on both platforms is largely the same experience now. Xbl doesn't have the same advantages it had last generation.
I think Sony should stick to that niche, nothing else works for them, so yes they should play to their strengths...
It's okay to focus on your strengths, but I don't like how their games are all starting to look like the same game.
If you show someone a Days Gone footage you could easily pass it as The Last of Us spin off, a prequel to Horizon, a Uncharted going back to the supernatural DLC, and even GoW is being brought towards that (though in the specific case of GoW it was a very positive change thus far).
But I guess it works for them, helps sets the Ps4 apart, and the fans seems to like it, so I can't fault them for doubling down on that.
lol No. psn maintenance says Hi.

Maintenance due to ddos attacks? Sure they could improve on that front. I think they've held up alright the last couple of holiday rushes.lol No. psn maintenance says Hi.
Sony are releasing quite a lot of first-party stuff along these lines right now (single-player, story-driven, cinematic), and it's great! But honestly, I always thought the main draw of the PlayStation brand was the wide variety of genres and experiences in the available library of games.
Hopefully do a better job at wanting to preserve them.
I don't agree that the PlayStation's DNA is in story-driven, cinematic experiences. That's just Naughty Dog's DNA, and that only started with the PS3. The PS1 and PS2 did quite well with just giving us great videogames of all kinds.

Service games are games with long post-launch support, DLC, free content, multiplayer usually.
Less emphasis on single player for those games. Destiny, Rainbow 6, Overwatch are all service based games.

We don't have Wipeout anymore and who knows what's going on with Media Molecule. Would be nice to have these types of games in addition to their big AAA titles
I say this same thing when I go into the Microsoft studios and partners thread. Like what some people are asking for, is pretty much PlayStation territory. It's weird to me. I wouldn't buy a PS4 and wish for multiplayer experiencesI like the idea that owning all 3 consoles means you get something different from each one.
No idea why everyone wants Microsoft to be like Sony. Let Sony do their thinng and Microsoft do theirs. You want single payer story driven games? Go buy a PlayStation rather than expecting Microsoft to make one that won't sell on their platform anyway.
I will agree here. ND has had a huge influence of late. Dad of War is a good example of this.
I've always preferred Ape Escape, Everybody's Golf, and Jumping Flash as my favorite Sony franchises. I wouldn't call any of them emotion or character driven.
Other than some rare downtime here and there on downloads, i agree. PSN is a legit service now. I used to say Live is better but it's hard to say that today with a straight face. I've been using my PS4 a lot recently after my honeymoon period is pretty much done with the Switch and yeah, PSN's great, PS Store deals are even better.
