As a PS5 owner, it bothers you that Sony will have just 1 big AAA PS5 only original game in 3 years?

Thanks! I know a lot of people from the industry have given up posting here, but I have a secret weapon...
I purposefully sat out buying any big titles in 2020, specifically because I knew I would prefer to play them on the new console. All of these games would most assuredly get a next gen version, or at least a patch. FF7, Ghost of Tsushima, Last of Us Part 2, etc.
I remember buying a PS4 and getting the Last of Us remaster, and reading posts on site like this that were like, "man, I wish I could be experiencing this game for the first time on the new hardware."
That's when I realized that this is how it's going to be with new generations going forward. So when I see people post questions like the OP's, I just shake my head while enjoying my riches.

Yep keep fighting the good fight. Its refreshing. Even if some wont listen. I love learning more about what really happens.Thanks! I know a lot of people from the industry have given up posting here, but I have a secret weapon...
FFVII remake came out last year. I feel like that personally bought many games a lot of time. Even though this comment or idea sounds dumb.
Tsushima content, Death Stranding Content, more VIIRemake content, Ratchet and Clank, Returnal, Demons Souls, Updates to other games like Spiderman and God of War...., Kena, Fist, Tales of Arise, .. Forspoken is soonish, Elden Ring is soon, Horizon Forbidden West is soon, Gran Turismo 7 is soon.
FFXVI will get more information eventually soon. We have a lot of games overall and soon and recently. I think things are in a good state at the moment.

It's debatable but i'd say it is more "horror-themed" rather than "horror-focused", considering i personally meant is the genre being the core and biggest aspect of the game itself.
I haven't finished it yet, but it feels very much like a sci-fi take on Souls or Bloodborne, both of which have heavy horror elements. The story is entirely sci-fi horror with fears of losing your humanity & sanity, being trapped in an endless nightmare, as well as a good bit of body horror (all of your upgrades are painful infestations, lots of creepy alien corpses scattered throughout the worlds, etc.) and the occasional jump scare. Lots of moments that feel very Alien-esque. It's not a survival-horror game, but it's definitely a horror game and a very good one.
It sucks that everything is so damn pricy in where i live, it has been in my list for a while.
Will grab it before the year ends, but very happy to hear it.
decisions in this industry are made with the intent of making money, yes. That's not an insightful thought nor does it have anything to do with what I've posted. PS5 came out last fall, there's plenty precedent of first party games within the first year and beyond to be cross gen, it just so happens that Sony's pipeline and output for this transition has been better than in some past instances thus more cross gen first party games this time around. Don't buy the games, you'll be alright, I promise.
Here's my PS4 list, I could be wrong but best I could find...
- Knack
- Killzone: Shadow Fall
- DriveClub
- Infamous: Second Son
- Bloodborne
- Until Dawn
That's the first 2+ years of PS4 AAA exclusives that didn't also have PS3 versions or weren't remakes/updates of PS3 games. So now you are looking at PS5 first 2 years:
- Returnal
- Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
- Forespoken
- Ghostwire Tokyo
- Deathloop
Then take into account that there's a global pandemic that pushed back development of many games, and the fact that GoW:R, HZD:FW, GT7, etc. are all new games that look and play beautifully as well...how is this a problem?

Why is this OP's question so specific? lol...I just want to play fun games, why would I care what's original or not, or what's still on PS4. I'm gonna say I think you simply want your viewpoint reciprocated OP. This can't be a legitimate concern, it's jumping through too many hoops.
sometimes it seems like some people here play games purely as a way to legitimize their hardware purchases. it's so weird seeing people champion exclusivity like it's a good thing. don't get me wrong, i love gaming hardware, i always end up with every major platform because i want to experience all the good games, but to see people disappointed that game X or Y isn't a PS5 exclusive just screams insecurity to me.
I don't really care about cross gen. Modern engines are often built and iterated upon for years so will have their roots in 'old' generation hardware even if there are new features in them. Multiplatform developers are used to developing scaling engines which can go all the way from a 3090 and 16 thread CPU to a relatively lower powered laptop or even switch. PS5 and XSX share a very similar architecture to both their previous incarnations and PCs.
Bottom line for me - a lot of the increased performance in the PS5 (and XSX) can be leveraged for better graphics, higher framerates, denser worlds, faster loading, without compromising on the design just because there is also a version being developed for a lower powered console (or PC)
If/when game designs are proposed that *require* next gen only, it sounds like both Sony and MS are supporting their studios in that choice. But if they don't need that, why not take advantage of supporting the millions of older consoles and owners out there?

Yep. Alot of my backlog almost feel like entirely different games now that they're running smoothly, more responsively or outright at locked or near locked 60fps. I know Just Cause 3 would probably be an entirely different game without the horrible performance due to the massive explosions and physics stuff going on.
I don't care about whether we get a shit ton of cross gen games. As long as we getting fresh things I'm good
Haven't you heard? That excuse isn't valid apparently, atleast that's what Era says 🤷♂️
Well, pandemic and other reasons delayed three big 1st games that were originally announced for 2021 - Forbidden West, GoW Ragnarok and GT7.
On one hand that sucks, but on the other we can't expect software development will be without issues these days. At least we have lots of games to play in the meantime, we just got Kena and Deathloop that PlayStation promoted a lot over the years.
Came here to say this. I never thought of Returnal as a small game.
Hilarious how OP calls Returnal "small" when Ratchet Rift Apart literally reuses the same 2 reskinned bosses over and over again through most of the game.
What bothers me is people moving goalposts to make a point?
Not a massive AAA game? doesn't count!
On PS4? Forget It!
Third party? LOL c'mon!
PC release? No thanks!!
I mean I could kind of see your point if you bought a PS5 strictly to play Sony first party and Sony first party only released one game over three years...
But that's not the case, like at all, in fact Playstation 5 has had one of the better year one games lineup I'd say probably ever and this is all coming from someone who primarily plays on Xbox and doesn't own a PS5 (yet).

In my use case, if I ever get a PS5 it would entirely be for first party Sony games that aren't on PC or PS4 lol. I do 95% of my gaming on PC (haven't turned on my PS4 in 6-7 months) and so far every PS5 game I want to play is also being released on PC/PS4. What's good for me is this trend continues, I don't have to buy a PS5 until the slim model is released because I hate how huge the PS5 is right now (and the ugly white color that can be rectified with new faceplates).
The lack of next gen only games generally is frustrating and the main reason I'm not really running out to snatch a PS5.
I have a very good PC for third party games and so far Sony hasn't really done much to justify for me the purchase. Doesn't help that their steady return to anti-consumer Sony is full steam ahead.

Anyone remember when Uncharted collection and Console bundle was PS4s big Xmas release?
I do. R.E.L.A.X

I don't think I've even played a PS5 exclusive besides Astro's Playroom. Only reason I got the PS5 when I did was because I wanted the games I was playing on PS4 to run better/quicker and I didn't want to be scrambling to get one the closer we got to Forbidden West releasing.
So, no. I was more than happy with what I was getting on the PS4, so getting those games but prettier and faster was really all I wanted.

What a bad way to look at it. Returnal, Astro, Souls, Miles, DAS, Ratchet, Deathloop, Horizon 2 (uh how is that not a major AAA?), GT7, GOW all seem to be coming in the first 24 months.
FF16, Forspoken (spring 2022) are both likely 2022. FF7R got exclusive DLC, Tsushima got a big DLC. This disregards timed exclusives like Kena, Bugsnax, Jett, Stray, SIFU etc. and ignores the onslaught of PSVR2 games we'll probably get holiday 2022.
Imo the first party and third party exclusive lineup has been tremendous imo

I'm ready for games that literally can't run on CPUs weaker than the PS5/Xbox Series. I want to see how far we can push AI/physics/destruction etc.
Why people keep asking this? It's like saying. "Oh no, no exclusive Rtx 30 series game on PC"
Compatibility with old devices don't mean nothing today. Stop thinking with a '90s brain.
Engines, APIs and Frameworks evolved a lot to keep thinking like this.
Of course games will get better with time, cause things keep improving, but that is common sense.

Having 3 big new console exclusives, which were all great games by the way, is an exception not a rule with the advent of a new console generation. And all in the midst of a global pandemic. We should be thankful. These people busted their assess for our entertainment under very non-ideal, stressful circumstances.
Most of Sony's big first-party fare isn't for me, so needless to say, but no. It doesn't bother me.
