Remember when, during PS2 days, you could get an entire trilogy of an IP in a single generation?
Now, when a game started development at the release of current gen, it won't come out until the next one.

>major franchise
lol who cares about those slops, sonybros are eating good nonetheless
At least two out of those are slop.
Pretty sure Final Fantasy isn't a Sony franchise.
squenix.
Yeah, Squeenix. Not Sony.
None of these are from Sony
unreal engine slop
I'll give stellar blade a chance, but ronin looked like garbage and I cannot say I'm excited for rebirth.
The latter two aren't even out yet and FF7 story is moronic and worse than spirits within
*also available on PC after release.
Lol, Xbox had the whole year to themselves and the Pajeet decided to put everything on PS5.
The pajeet really couldn't wait one more year.
Watch them change plans in few days. It's probably a total dumpster fire out there.
AAA gaming is actually dying.
(And that’s a good thing!)
(unironically)
there are so many games nowadays that people don't have time to play everything anyway. you're gonna be just losing sales if you release too many games in too tight intervals
I unironically blame the indie game flood. People complain about big AAA releases being the only thing there is, but the truth is the absurd amount of shovelware being shat out by any "aspiring gamedev" out there is so absurd that they basically ruined that entire part of the market. Big AAA titles is ironically the only niche where those companies feel secure, because no indie dev will be able to compete there. Meanwhile if they decide on making AA or smaller scale games, they will have to complete with hundreds of different titles.
Are you really arguing that big devs are fricking incapable of competing with 5 nerds in a basement? That they need to make shittiest, bandest games ever because the creative, fun market is too hard?
Yes I am arguing that they indeed cannot compete. They are that bad.
Damn anon, you are not wrong, but surely they could grab TEN nerds instead of 5 and put them in a basement themselves?
the problem with AAA devs is that they HAVE to make the blandest "for everyone" garbage possible because those corpos are so bloated and costly to run with so many fingers in the pot that everything they release has to be a "revenue stream" and make hundreds of millions of dollars just to profit.
5 nerds in a basement can make whatever the frick they want and are passionate about, and if it's even halfway decent they'll sell at least a couple hundred thousand copies and be set for most of the rest of their lives, maybe make a sequel or dick around with a new project or whatever, it doesn't really matter because they have no israeli marketing or legal army grifting from them or shareholders to appease, etc.
Yet Hi-fi Rush got made despite being an experimental title. Yet Death Stranding is getting a sequel that will probably sell a lot of copies even if people go "what the frick was that that was dumb" like last time.
BASED! THEY CAN'T STEAL WHAT WE DON'T HAVE!
which chucklefrick made this and padded out PS3 with so much actual garbage?
The PS3 library was god awful.
hope it means new IPs are close to release
Did anyone read the whole article?
who gives a shit?
>2025
year of GTA6, nobody will be playing anything but so no games until 2026.
i feel like the gta games are mostly a third worlder phenomenon. it would be a great time for them to make a game by and for white people for once to snatch up that audience who doesn't car that much about the brown people crime game, but you know they won't.
>i feel like the gta games are mostly a third worlder phenomenon
After all these years, I've finally found it. Thr dumbest post on Ganker.
no new Debra Wilson games until 2025?
how will she pay her rent?
WHAT THE FRICK IS HAPPENING TO VIDEO GAMES?!
No need. Phil Spencer's gonna give them games.
This is what specgays get for wanting unnecessary bells and whistles like ray tracing, 4k, and HDR
Plotgays are just as bad, I'm sure there's plenty of time wasted on writing, motion capture, face scanning, HOURS of fricking dialogue, and ugly-fying scanned faces
Oh, and they're gonna start being $80 for being partially complete upon launch, with only 75% of the major issues addressed per game's lifespan, and a $30 2 hour movie with 45 minutes of gameplay dlc
Enjoy
>game development takes longer than their consoles life span
Grim
You don't need new IPs when you've got party rocking
I'd rather wait for quality games than play slop that people are used to around here.
This is a good thing.
>March 2025
So they are saving Bloodborne PS5 for the 10th anniversary?
>you could get an entire trilogy of an IP in a single generation?
Well, back then games were made by two dozen people over a year or two, not by six hundred code/artistmonkeys for three+++ years.
Chasing after muh graphics has ballooned the games out to ridiculous proportions. Making a single game nowadays takes half generation, this leads to a studio releasing one, maaaaaybe two games per gen. because once they are done with the first, the second is made for upcoming hardware, intent as a (near)launch window title.
...And in addition to that, because they are so expensive and time consuming to make - they are made extra, EXTRA safe to ensure a return on your investment. When you spend 100mil and tie down all your assets for half a decade, you sure as frick you want to see this shit turn a decent profit.
Im hearing the same excuses here people made when XBOX was struggling to release games, kek
You call it excuses, but that's just the reality of things - games don't grow on trees.
Why do you think the A-AA market all but evaporated during the PS3 generation? With production costs inflating into tens of millions territory, not many studios could actually compete in the market, and they were always a single flop away from bankruptcy.
Within a few short years, everyone eventually stumbled and went out of business, only to be bought out for peanuts by the few major corpos who could take a loss of that magnitude - allowing them to grow into the cancerous multimedia titans they are today.
what are even considered the "major" franchises?
>spiderman
>horizon
>god of war
>???
ass creed, call of duty, grand theft auto, tomb raider, far cry, uncharted, etc etc. sports releases like fifa and madden are also major franchises but they're literal copy-pastes with a genuine sub 100 IQ third world market demographic so they don't count.
Imagine for a moment if Nintendo said they weren't releasing any 1st party titles for a year
nintendo is already on a modern 6+ year dev cycle with their mainline franchises. it took them 6 years to release botw 2, and super mario odyssey was 7 years ago.
>no major titles
>we'll still release ff7 remake 2, until dawn, stellar blade, etc
so translation of this is "no normalgay moviegames like soi of war and capeshit until 3/31/2025"
sounds good to me. just make that infinite
PS3 days as well.
more like sony no game uninteractive no entertainment to be found
Yeah but remember PS5 will be getting PS6 cross gen games for years after 2028. I consider GOW Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West to be PS4 swan songs because they started development as PS4 games and they still made great early PS5 games
its okay, xbox games will fill the gap
joking aside, this shit game rollout is because they cancelled 6 GaaS games that were in development
