I feel like the temporariness of their big games on PSNow for the moment is them trying to stretch out the time a little until the next-gen launches, while still trying to wring some marketing benefit from their cache. I agree that they probably aren't going to do day-1 big game any time soon, so I can see them adding their PS4 library as permanent additions to fill in the first year or two of the PS5, or however long it takes, until they reach the point that they are prepared to put PS5 titles on the service.
you know the whole refocus on Indie support with Shu makes me think we are going to see a ton of Indies launch day one on PS NOW like GamePass
Visual Arts?
So basically like the San Diego one which does this

Yeah, you'd think that all of Sony's gaming related stuff would be part of SIE, but for some reason it isn't. Sony Pictures also had a development team once (Loot Entertainment) but they're independent now.
It's weird how no one thought of giving us a proper big budget game with how popular the franchise is, maybe they'll see something after Granblue.
I hope so. Maybe they could port the arcade version.
It's baffling that they don't leverage stuff like that.
That's because Sony Music Entertainment Japan is a bit independent from SME (because SME Japan is powerful in Japan) and they are doing their own stuff like investing in FGO, but their results are still related to Sony Music as a whole
It is weird but given the results of that management, it seems to be doing great for them
I'm still shocked that that fucking ugly touchpad (and utterly useless) is still so prominent in that controller.
Well Folklore is garbage so I'm not mad.I like it more than games like LoD and Folklore
Just give us both. You greenlight Astro Bot 2 to appease the VR crowd, and you greenlight Ape Escape to appease the peasants who want their platforming kicks but don't want to shell out extra for a peripheral, and you give them the necessary marketing and show them at E3 instead of pretending they don't exist until they come out to rave reviews.
I have been thinking that PlayStation's success this generation was partly because of the hype generated by major dream-like announcements. Bloodborne (a partnership with From Software) created a huge amount of excitement. The revival of The Last Guardian and a partnership with Square Enix to bring Final Fantasy 7 Remake to PS4 exclusively made E3 2015 a show of dreams (also Shenmue 3). E3 2016 was victorious for Sony because of the reboot of God of War, this announcement may be the most impactful this gen (has the most amount of views on PlayStation channel). So what about PS5? Which revivals of legendary franchises could impact the gaming world like Final Fantasy 7 Remake did? Or which rebooted exclusive from Sony's lineup would make a hype tsunami next-gen?
I personally think that some buzz could create the legacy of Konami's IPs. Either licencing or acquiring Metal Gear Solid IP and Silent Hill IP would make a lot of excitement for gamers. Potential projects could be remakes of first MGS and 1-2 Silent Hill + new installment with Kojima for example. As for exclusive reboot there is no IP bigger right now than Uncharted to go with a new direction and create a ton of hype. As for dream partnerships From would be the right choice with Bloodborne 2. And for legendary revivals why not give money to Remedy and make Alan Wake 2 exclusive for PS5? Also teaming up with Team Ninja and releasing Ninja Gaiden 4 as a revival of the franchise (since it skipped this generation) could be a potential hit. What do you think?

That thread about Sony games being too safe shouldn't have got locked, it's right.
Being safe doesn't equal being bad or boring (which is maybe where that OP went wrong).
Come on are you really gonna deny that people don't get overly defensive about Sony in here?

If there is any way to make Jumping Flash! in VR happen without someone succumbing to extreme nausea while playing it, then that game needs to be made. JF! was tailor made for VR.
Considering Microsoft just got laughed at for stuff like rares new game and Nobody pays attention to concrete genie and the like. The whole they don't do it is another issue all of em have ppl get their wires crossed on what the problem is
Sonys AAA(this the important part) don't do it
microsoft now have the perception of gamepass hahahaha look at that game they don't really care about it's just for the service
and Nintendo it's "all they do"
3 narratives, 3 things meaning something different to different ppl
don't think either of the 3 are doing it better than the other really
Playing it save in the AAA space these days.... yeah, that doesn't exist. And making a robo-dino open world game, a create&share game like Dreams..... well, you know what? Doesn't matter. No reason to start this again. Some people made up their minds and nothing will change it.
Sony has the most diverse game lineup out there. Nobody does more new IPs than them. And they're the only console maker with a VR headset. I hope Sony keeps "playing it save" like they did in the last 10 years. Great times ahead.

I wonder how many publishers out there would allow a studio which has no experience with anything but a single FPS franchise for about a decade work on an action RPG in which you play a female redhead hunting robot dinosaurs. I wonder how many publishers would allow a developer to gameplay-reboot a hack and slash game into a cinematic 3rd person action-adventure game. I wonder how many publishers would be willing to build a small new studio for recent graduates.
Especially the first 2 are risky as fuck, if Horizon Zero Dawn and the recent God of War had turned out to be shit not only would have Sony 2 shit games on their hands, but also 2 studios now looked down upon and arguably in trouble, especially Santa Monica as they had already canceled a game earlier.
Saying Sony is playing it safe just because a lot of Sony games are 3rd person action/adventure games with a big focus on narrative is a load of shit.

Honestly something i'd like to see is big WRPG from Sony. That's something that overall has been pretty weak this gen across all publishers after the decline of Mass Effect, no big Elder Scrolls release, only a single Dragon Age game that was cross-gen, etc. I need more RPG-ass RPGs. I'd love to see what a Naughty Dog RPG looks like since it'd be such a big swerve, or maybe Sucker Punch.
Remember when Horizon was tapped to be the biggest flop of 2017?
I do and I love reminding people about it.

Well, I guess Sony must have made SSM or GG make a GaaS type of game, right? Like every major publisher has this type of game these days. Your arguments are a bunch of nonsense which come from your trolling attitude or a mere ignorance. In fact out of all big publishers SIE is the least risk-safe in AAA approach of gaming.
It is a bit besides the point, though. What am I subscribing for if not for being able to access these games at any time.
Really hoping PS5 makes it make sense lol
There is absolutely nothing wrong with not liking Sony's output, but that's a far cry from saying they don't take risks, or even more ridiculous, that their games all play the same because they have a third person camera and are cinematic.
'Third person' and 'cinematic' are not genres.

Killzone wasn't going anywhere successful after Shadowfall, it was a no-brainer to shut it down.
Credit to GG for trying something out of their comfort zone, but for Sony 3rd person action adventure with a focus on story was what had been selling for them, so why not give Guerrilla yet another one to make?
Have it star Jak, that way it can be a JWRPG and satisfy both parties.
Y'all gotta stop that shit tackle the conversation
no for real can we get into this what happened
It's from a White House press conference where Sean Spicer was saying something ridiculous
If you look at the Jak 1-3 games, making the new one a RPG would actually make sense. A RPG in the Jak & Daxter world would be awesome ^_^
They could literally only add games when the next entries or the next game from the developer is announced and it would still be better than this stupid "you get a game for 3 months" angle they're using right now.
Why are people subscribing to a service called PS now to not even play PS games!
Questions That Need Answers, Jim!
OP
OP
idk these takes are getting more ridicolous day by day - playing it safe of rebooting a big franchise and chaging the whole formula that made it a success
Not in terms of the IP, but in terms of general design, it's relatively conservative. This isn't a criticism as such, but it's reasonable as an observation.
It's a Sony WWS thread, sure ppl get overly sensitive about stuff they like. Bad thread is a bad thread. There's plenty of ways to articulate how you want to see more AAA titles from WWS across different genres than "beautiful presentation but boring gameplay". It's kinda insulting like we are just some shallow faux movie lovers for playing and loving these games. I bet most ppl don't even play GOW or Horizon othe hardest difficulties, they are full of challenge and diverse gameplay.
There's a time when defenders should be called out, this ain't one of em. Now having said all that ND need to make that RPG and take over from Mass Effect falling off!
