Nintendo is having a completely opposite problem right now imo. I normally am fine with them holding their cards close, but we're four months into the year and they've announced fuck all for 2020. It's a bit much imo.

Sony hasn't announced a major game since 2017
- Thread starter klik
- Start date
Theyve announced plenty of games since. The problem is that people always ignore their non AAA outings.
Sony announces early "hype! Omg"
Sony showcases the same games over a period of years "I don't know why they announce games so early.. they have nothing else in the pipeline?"
Sony takes years to announce something "arrogant Sony is back"
Things take time, plus normal game dev is 4-5 years.. cmon some of y'all should know better by now.

GoW 1 and 2 where PS2, though GoW 2 released after the PS3. 3 and Ascension were the PS3 GoWs and what SSM developed.
Edit: Wait you mean Gears?
Publishers don't announce that many big games each year. And Sony is full in preparation mode for PS5.
Microsoft announced the following AAA games since 2017:
- Halo Infinite (2018)
- Forza Horizon 4 (2018)
- Gears 5 (2018)
- EverWild (2019)
- Hellblade 2 (2019)
Well, and Flight Simulator (2019)
So, not that big of a difference.

Let's play devils advocate, let's say Sony stays quiet for three years.. how would the gaming public react?
you have to give folks something to look forward to even if it's years away, trailers and "promises" actually move consoles.
They won't (speculation), as usual third parties will carry them. We have the same dance every gen.
Yeah, but it's still annoying. People never expect 3 years in advance when there's an "dateless" announcement. Always sucks after.
But I'm biased, since most games I like take much less people and time to make.
And Sony isn't even the worst offender in this aspect, imo.
PS4 is shaping up to have arguably it's best year exclusive wise, so not really. They just announced stuff early.
Games do take longer to make than last gen though. A lot of first party studios only released like half of the amount of games they released last gen.
I know right? But doom and gloom when things are quiet for awhile.
In 2017 it was pretty clear those were going to be the final round of PS4 games before PS5 launch.
But not hearing anything else until mid-2020 would have been nuts to any of us at the time yeah.
Were it not for Coronavirus, we would likely have a launch lineup announced by now. Gonna be waiting a few more months probably.

Yeah, I think almost every first party studio aside from Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch are working on PS5 now.
Assassin's Creed had like 6 games last gen which is crazy.
They are both probably working on their PS5 games to some extent. ND would have had pre-production going on for a while since they originally planned to be done with the Last of Us in February.
