I wonder if Sony even considers Tearaway a real flop.
That game was made by ~15 people for 2-2.5 years. Its not like it needed to sell a lot to be worth it or anything

I can't disagree with that. You're right. I just think it is unlikely.
As far as other studios go, I think guerilla might expand and swallow up another studio, maybe.
Why are people believing that SP's game will be out next year? Guys, come on.
First, its a new IP. So it's gonna take a while to develop. And then SP has ~ 100 devs or so, so I dont think they will rush the game or development. Plus we have plenty of already announced titles which will (eventually) launch in 2018 (Spiderman, God of War, Indies, Detroit, Days Gone, Dreams etc.)

Finally, someone in here uses some common sense.

All this plus the fact that they aren't gonna want to stick a brand new IP in the crowded fall equals why it seems clear to me it will be a spring 2019 game. Unless it's ready by spring 2018, which I doubt

It will have been 4 years since they released Infamous Second Son and this is assuming they weren't doing any work prior to the release of Second Son.
If the year is stacked, the year is stacked. SP is 2018.
You forgot to mention they had First Light as well.
It'd be great if SP's game comes it in 2018, but it's not necessary and not likely, IMO.

It was just an expansion. I don't think it added much to the cycle.
Sure, I don't think it is off the table either.

The only new IP I can see Sony releasing in the fall right now is Death Stranding, because the hype for a new IP from Kojima and his first post-Konami game is gonna be insane. And Spider-Man, but that's not really a new IP

Detroit can't be 2018 right?
For how great Horizon Gravity Rush and Nioh is, that can't be it right? that wouldn't be bad if those games came out during the whole year and yet they are released in the span of 2 months, GT Sport won't certainly be this year, Uncharted lost legacy and Farpoint isn't enough.
It feels as if every Sony exclusive is years away. It wouldn't be a problem if they didn't announce games so far from release and yet here's lots of games that won't be coming out for the foreseeable future but isn't it nice having so many of them.
I mean at E3 last year the exclusives that were shown off didn't have any preliminary dates, just "in development" if it's all so far away why show it off?
You know why many people think that Microsoft has more of exclusives every year? because they release them at the end of it and people remember those more than at the start of it. Just like the Oscar nominations.

GT Sport, Uncharted Lost Legacy and Knack 2 will be this fall. Or at least those are three I feel most confident about.
It isn't a problem because they still have a bunch of games releasing during the wait.
The bold is nonsense.
They've had trouble with staying true to release dates which is why they throw in the "in development" at the end of the trailers. Before throwing a date out there they want to be sure they can hit it.
As for the release schedule... who cares if it releases at the top of the year? I'd rather a Horizon or Gravity Rush release now compared to the end of the year where it'll get destroyed by the Red Deads and Destiny's of the world.
Im not sure many people think that
In fact, the discussion pairing over MS Studios at the moment is exactly about how thin their publishing efforts have been
Okay, four years are enough to develop a new IP. But I dont think they will rush it into 2018 because - as I already mentioned - there are plenty of announced titles which may release in 2018. Even Bloodborne 2 is more realistic for a 2018 release than SP's Game TBH.
Why should they release SP's game before all the other already announced titles? Makes no sense to me. Except Death Stranding & TLOU2, which will launch 2018-end or 2019.

Sony does have exclusives at the end of the year though (last year I played TLG, DQ Builders and WoFF), console warriors just deluded themselves into ignoring anything that conflicted with that narrative. Up until recently anyway, when the sheer number of PS4 exclusives became impossible to deny. There's still a few deluding themselves into thinking Microsoft's going to announce a ton of games at E3 but they're going to get a wake up call soon enough.
Ignoring the console wars talk though, how successful has releasing most of their games at the end of the year been for Microsoft? From what I've seen, their first party sales hasn't been pretty.
And nah, I'm fine with them announcing games early. Movies are announced years before they even start production, the insistence games HAVE to be announced close to release seems childish to me.
So regarding MM, we know studios get paid when they have their games on plus, right? Can we see this 2 past months as a way SONY has of helping MM? Or as something else?
Edit: Also wanted to say Days Gone will be the next Horizon...just watch
Mm didn't develop LBP3 and third parties are paid when their games go up on PS+. Sony can do whatever they want with their games, they own them, which is why they prefer bundling their games with systems over third party games, because it's a lot cheaper for them to do so. And why would Mm need "help" anyway? They're Sony's employees.

Because it is ready to go!
We'll see but I still believe in 2018.
I mean, we're going to have to wait regardless. A game isn't going to come out any earlier whether it is announced or not. So, why not just learn about it? Especially when we have more than enough games releasing outside of those games further away.

did the SIE japan twitter always keep the background as bloodborne or did they recently change it to bloodborne
Based on the Gameinformer cover story and IGN's recent article, Uncharted: Lost Legacy is shaping up to be a far more significant release than I think many of us were expecting. I mean, I knew it was a standalone DLC that was getting a retail release, but it seems like it's going to be pretty close to a full-length game release. Exciting!
Yeah it even has MP.

Do we know how long Uncharted The Lost Legacy has been in development? Was it just the time between UC4 and now?

I agree with this. I think it will release Feb of 2019 like Horizon
Full production I guess they started after because the bulk of the studio was focused on finishing UC4, but Im inclined to believe they started pre-production some time before release. I figure the creative leads of TLL were mostly done with their work on UC4 in the end of 2015 even
Josh prob started writing this a while ago
Shaun (creative director) was cinematic director in Uncharted 4, thats also something that is done a good lenght before release
Kurt is the Director of TLL and was lead designer on UC4, but since ND had other 3 lead designers on the project (including other studio veterans like Anthony Newman and Emilia Schatz) he could have finished his stuff on UC4 some time before release too
If the whole thing started after May, then they are indeed Naughty Gods lol

So the only studio whose project is unknown yet is Sucker Punch. Tbh, I expected their game to be unveiled even before GOW4 and Kojima's game.

Lol! Goddamit EU and your superior dating system
May no? European date.
EDIT: Late here
I imagine Patapon and WipEout can't be any later than August. Sony can have a pretty excellent summer with their smaller titles. I was hoping Matterfall would see the light of day here, but unless it's a trailer drop + instant release at E3 I have no idea when to expect it due to no info in so long.

Housemarque probably won't talk much about it until next machina is out I guess which is supposed to be coming soon.
yeah, I was surprised pre-orders were open on the PS Store, guess its indeed coming soon

I'm guessing April or may.
And if matterfall is still 2017 e3 trailer plus playable if not at e3 gamescom and release sometime after maybe September
Thats no longer true with the onlsaught of 87-90 rated exclusives it got. nioh, Nier, Horizon.

Thank you! I keep saying that regardless of sales numbers, if Tearaway didn't cost a lot, both in production and marketing, then it wouldn't need to sell a ton to make a profit.
The total for this year announced:
Gravity Rush 2
Nioh
Malicious Fallen
Horizon: Zero Dawn
MLB 17: The Show
PaRappa the Rapper Remastered
Drawn to Death
Locoroco Remastered
Patapon Remastered
Knack 2
Gran Turismo Sport
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
New Hot Shots Golf
Wipeout Omega Collection
Fairpoint
Starblood Arena
Possibles:
Matterfall
Wild
Detroit: Become Human
Days Gone
God of War
Dreams
I want to stress possible because under no circumstance are they all coming this year. And I'm slowly thinking Spider-Man may very well be 2018 unless they surprise us (which I would be so excited). But I could see either Days Gone or God of War this year based on the progress we saw last E3. It's possible they're both 2018 games as well. Detroit I think has a decent chance as well as it was announced a couple years ago.
But that's quite a bit, and I'm totally up for more.
Are you in Europe? In NA, it's March 28th for PaRappa.

It's never been true this generation. People who say that are either focusing on the pre-Christmas 3-4 months which is so important to Microsoft, or just parroting shite they've heard people like Crapgamer say without thinking to check the facts.

I think it was true the first year and that was about it. Even then, it wasn't heavily in terms of quantity of exclusives (though I think an argument can be made that quality-wise, MS was better its first year). But 2015 had most of Sony's stuff come early in the year, and 2016 was a great year as well for Sony's releases.
Some people will be dishonest to score points even if the argument makes no sense.

So the whole, It feels as if Microsoft has more exclusives because they release their biggest games at the end of the year and the Oscars nominations is not an important point that I regretted keeping in couple of minutes later after the fact.
One poster on the second last page posted a list of games that Sony is going to, plans to release throughout the year. One, half of them are remasters. Two, I don't count VR sins I don't own it and the absolute biggest majority don't either. Thirdly, until Uncharted, GT sport and Knack 2 has a date for this year and is a month out from release I won't count it.
Sony absolutely DID release quality games this year, hell Horizon is fantastic and yet we're 3 months in this year with 9 months to go. Couldn't Sony have released Gravity rush 2 in May or the Summer and horizon at the end of march and having Nioh and Yakuza being the only exclusives in the 3 first months? Instead they put almost everything out at the start for than having almost nothing latter.
And the problem that Sony announces games way to early and than later we start questioning where are the said game is? Say Detroit, Dreams or Wild.
And besides this is how I feel about it, not that you can't disagree with me or criticize my point I'm just summarizing my feelings on the matter at least what I'm trying to do.
