PS3 vs PS4 vs PS5 exclusives: First year comparison
- Thread starter Sid
- Start date
I think the Ratchet and Clank mentioned in the leak was R&C 2016. Otherwise it would have specified Rift Apart, no?
PS5's year one games smokes the other generations. You think more automatically means better OP?
User Warned: Platform Warring
lmao at OP implying that PS5 had a worse year first year than PS4. and PS5 vs. PS3 is still debatable. Something tells me that OP comparing how much "worse" PS launch window lineups are getting, but leaving Xbox out of the conversation entirely tells me alot about their intentions when creating this thread.
How does it reveal anyone's intentions when it's solely about comparing the first years of the past few PS consoles?
Worse? LOL
Besides Resogun, there's nothing on that PS3/PS4 list I will ever think about again. Demon's Souls and Returnal smoke everything on that list.

Dude there is no conspiracy. Chill out haha. He's comparing PS launches, it's not some dumb console warrior shit. Xbox fans could make their own thread

Came in here to say this: Quality over quantity.
As someone who had a PS3 and 4 close to launch, I was hurting in terms of exclusives. Haven't gotten an PS5 yet but I would take the DS remake over any of the titles listed previously.
It feels real bad walking out of Best Buy with a game you're buying simply because it was the one to interest you most out of a handful of worse titles.
The back compat stuff is irrelevant right?
I mean, PS4 had more exclusives but that was pretty much all you had to play.

I guess just a list of games and the statement "Why does each successive generation seem to be getting worse?" with no further explanation or commentary on their statement gets my troll senses tingling. But I could be wrong.
I mean this generation does kinda suck across both consoles lol and even then it really shouldn't bother you
Lol In a fucking heartbeat. It wouldn't even be a choice, to be honest
The PS5's solid first year lineup was much better than the PS3's (middling) and PS4's (easily the worst in PlayStation history).
for me:
PS5=PS3>>>PS4 for exclusives only
If we factor in cross gen as well then,
PS5>>PS3>>>>>PS4
PS5=PS3>>>PS4 for exclusives only
If we factor in cross gen as well then,
PS5>>PS3>>>>>PS4
I'd rather play Second Son, Uncharted and/or Resistance than Returnal. Don't give a flying shit about Returnal or DeSo remake, so yeah, PS5 was some weak ass shit for me besides Ratchet.
Anyway OP, games take longer to make, that's the explanation.
I thought to myself "wow I'd rather play RESOGUN and Returnal" and then realized both of these are Housemarque games
This is what OP's list should actually look like:

Good God, I really had to make sure this wasn't a sarcasm post at first.
Yeah, "forgot" Astrobot from the list for PS5, the game was great and packed in each console.
The quality of the 1st party (BluePoint/Housemarque weren't at the time but the gears were turning) IMO far exceed the other generations.
There was also a thing called a global pandemic for the first time in our lifetimes and the gaming industry had to adapt and it was NOT a smooth or easy process, it still isn't and its effects are going to continue to present themselves in the coming years.
And check my post history, I've been highly critical of Sonys handling of the PS5 re: not delivering on promises (VRR?), communication to fans, PR in general, and handling of some first party projects, but this take is absolute doo-doo.

Crazy the PS3 got the "no games" treatment with that launch lineup. People really were on some shit.
Excluding Cross-gen games in this case makes no sense since OP is trying to argue that every gerneration is getting worse in their output but its purely a business decision to have games like Miles Morales as a cross gen game and not a development issue.

This is the truth and I loved Infamous SS and think Driveclub is the best racing game after Wipeout.
I don't agree, I think PS5 had an outstanding first year.
Demon Soul's, Ratchet: Rift Apart, Returnal, were all excellent. And Miles Morales, while cross-gen was fantastic, and Sackboy I haven't played but have heard is good.
I'd honestly say PS5's first year was way better than PS4's, I barely used my PS4 until like...2015 when bloodborne and Until dawn came out. The only first year games I played were Resogun and Second Son
PS3 might be the ultimate champ tho- Resistance 1, Uncharted 1, Warcraft, Ratchet: Tools, are all iconic and very nostalgic for me

aside from personal opinions on the games themselves, the reality is that game development is taking longer and longer as production values get bigger and people also ask for more content out of games (compare the length of TLOU 1 vs TLOU 2 for example).
Add to this covid and you have a recipe for a leaner launch year in terms of software. Sony has also taken the approach of having a longer crossgen period for a variety of valid reasons we can endlessly speculate about so if you exclude that software too it will look that much smaller as well.

PS3 is best. Which makes sense, because retrospectively it's like this:
PS1>PS2>PS3>PS4 (and I have a strong feeling it's going to be) >PS5
PS1>PS2>PS3>PS4 (and I have a strong feeling it's going to be) >PS5
Are people really using a remastered PS3 game as an example of the PS5 launch exclusives being better than those of other Playstations? Lol.
And people in here pretending like roguelikes aren't a pretty divisive genre, as if everyone is into them.
PS5 had a bit of an underwhelming first year exclusives-wise, but it's understandable considering it came out in the middle of a worldwide pandemic that impacted many industries and saw many games get delayed.

Yeah, but only by 8 days. And only 2 days if you count the North American launch.
I think it's close enough that it counts.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was released in North America on November 19th, 2007, when the PS3 was already 1 year and 2 days old in that region. I know you're wrong regardless but you could at least try to get the facts right.
You also didn't include Astro's Playroom on the PS5 list, which is one of the best games of all time AND comes for free with every console.
Finally, playing upgraded versions of Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, and others has to count for something, the effect is transformative. Final Fantasy VII Intergrade is exclusive content, although you obviously meant to say "first-party exclusives", but just needs to be mentioned because it was an absolute highlight.

I take PS5 first year and what also coming out any day.
I play games being cross gen don't fucking matter .

That's not how years or rules work. It's like if I were "How many PS5 games got 90+ MC last year?" And you mentioned Deathloop at 88 because it's close enough to count. If OP wanted to include Uncharted 1 they should've compared the first 13 months or whatever, but that undermined their point so they had to resort to cheating their own self-imposed rules. A poor showing all round.
To be clear, the list in the OP isn't the PS3's launch line up; Resistance and Motorstorm were the only first party launch games.
As for the OP's question, I'd probably give it to the PS5. I feel like both PS3 and PS4 took a few years to "hit their stride." PS5 has by far the strongest launch lineup of any PlayStation imo.
Let's see, two lists of mostly mediocre games (plus Resogun), compared to three really damn good games I'll return to years later?
I'll take the PS5 list.
And you even left out Astro's Playroom and the cross gen games (Miles, Sackboy).
