Sony's silence with PlayStation is just awful as there is no communication

What are you talking about?
Yes they will have more interactive games. 100% of their games will be interactive IMO.
So you need a friendly exec to spill some platitudes to you on social media to reassure you about your console of choice ?
Buying studios I care about left and right. As a non-Xbox user it makes me interested in the platform.
Pretty much. There isn't really any silence when there has been updates on games coming out.
Yeah it's a really terrible time for Sony right now. Between God of War winning all the GOTY awards and Spider-man being a huge critical and commercial hit, it looks pretty bad for the company on the first party front. Fans are desperately concerned, not knowing what to do in 2019, between playing RE2, KH3, DMCV, and Sekiro, there just aren't any quality games on the Playstation front. Exclusive first party games like Days Gone, The Last of Us Part 2, and Death Stranding just aren't helping. Why are they so silent and when is Sony going to exit the market? Seems bleak, bro.
No communication? Marketing of Days Gone the past 2 months was just a dream? Dreams beta and announcement of early access public release didn't happen? lol
You only talk next gen 2 years in advance when you've lost and conceded current gen.
We know Sony's lineup: Days Gone, Dreams, The Last of Us Part 2, Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima and rumoured 1 more major game.

I'm guessing the big marketing push on the remaining PS4 titles will really start once they get Day's Gone out.
I'm not their mother, don't need to hear from them constantly. Besides when everyone else is blathering their plans including this Wal-Mart streaming crap the wise and patient thing to do is just watch. Sometimes the smartest thing to do is keep your mouth closed, especially when I know for a fact they still have a couple of bangers coming out this gen.
Was the wait between the WiiU its final few noteworthy games and the Switch that much shorter? It felt like an eternity, that's all I remember, I could've sworn it was two years. Let's me change it to, that period where Nintendo kept delaying Zelda and didn't bother much with the WiiU at all and didn't announce anything at all either.
Figure that should be more accurate.
They are working on PS5, expect an announcement this year.
They are probably also having intense discussions about where PlayStation will go next, I would imagine that the PS5 will have been designed with a similar philosophy to the PS4 and there focus on there first parties delivering first, must and best will still be the direction they are heading.
However they will be more uncertain on how to proceed against new threats like stadia, Xcloud and gamepass.
Will they invest + improve psnow or double down on first party, hardware and exclusives.

I think the good thing with me and Playstation even in their silence is they already owned studios I cared about who have, and will continue to release quality games.
They have a couple of massive games in production and a string of smaller titles like Medieval and Concrete Genie. What else is there to say as a pub until they have dates? I think they're just focused on Days Gone shipping right now.
Obviously as a platform holder, there's no lack of third party month to month.

Yep, I mean what do you people want? Announce anything just to fill the silence? They have proper venues for that, for the meantime just play the goddamn games that been released left and right. I swear you people are more interested in news about these companies than games themselves
Its too early to tell if their silence is good or bad, for all we know they will drop bombs when they finally talk about next gen.
They told us PS5 is coming, they told us Death Stranding, Days Gone, Dreams, Tsushima, TLoU2 etc. are on their way. They expanded PS Now recently. Sony are still very much nr1 at the moment.

One of the weirdest mentalities I've ever seen. In the same way that last year, when Sony was releasing some of the highest rated games and people were suggesting they weren't doing enough when it comes to software against competition which was having their worst year this generation or when people cheering at studio purchase announcements with barely any new game announcements for actual console owners to play (that's how far it's regressed, thought games being announced early was bad enough).
Days Gone is releasing in a Month, Dreams in upcoming with Early Access, the consoles are flooded with so much quality games that I'm not even sure how people can even think about new stuff that's far out.
ps now has struggled to get any attention from sony's side. i can't recall when sony actually gave it attention in one of their conferences and they don't put their recent big stuff on it. gamepass was a clear focus from microsoft in a way that was directly communicated to fans at e3 and with newly launched first-party games.
i think sony will need to rebrand ps now, because it has gone on for five years and somehow feels even less relevant in today's market even though it's also on pc.
This. I only care about my backlog and Sekiro/Days Gone right now. I'm in no rush to her about the PS5

Overall more communication is good, they need to improve greatly.
I wouldn't argue against the last year being very difficult- in March 2016 TPHD was released and from then it was only like Starfox Zero, Paper Mario & TMS with of course BotW being delayed out of 2016. But yeah I don't think it's fair to say Nintendo were AWOL for 2 years, especially with the 3DS and all. Heck Nintendo were actually present in kinda a big way at E3 2016 still of course which also makes for an interesting comparison to this thread.
So yeah I'd shorten your original comment to a year and even then it's arguable IMO.
Who are the sony fans losing their shit over quantic dream?
Sony has been releasing gold and it still not enough. Some people.

Yea this silence compared to the last couple of years does seem to be because they plan on going big for the PS5 launch otherwise whatever change to Sony's marketing plan just doesn't make sense and them not being at E3 this year doesn't help things.
If this continues I feel Sony will be in for a surprise next gen when MS takes the lead again.
Azure is Microsoft's main platform these days. It drives the company to be more open source, a quicker update cycle and more customer engagement since their business is now directly tied to customer satisfaction. This leads to more leaks, more openness and more twitter communication.
... Have they, though? What IS Death Stranding? Does anyone know?
We've seen a couple cutscenes and a single gameplay sequence for TLOU2.
I wouldn't exactly call this "extensive." And regarding both of these games, we haven't gotten any real updates for 9 months.
Everyone who owns a PS4 is waiting for Sekiro, is playing Apex, and just got KH3/RE2/DMC5. They have The Show and Days Gone both coming within 35 days. And other large notable games like MK11, Rage 2, Crash Team Racing and Judgment are coming before the middle of the year ends. There are plenty of reasons to not be concerned. Talking will not make Concrete Genie, Medieval remake, Dreams, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part II, or Death Stranding come out any sooner.
MS talks because it's all they can do. But Halo isn't coming any sooner because of it. Nintendo talks because they have information to give like release dates and windows, otherwise they wouldn't be saying anything either. Google talks because they are launching a gaming platform within this year and are doing something pretty radical for games.
Relax, it'll be fine. Just play your games until something important by Sony needs to be said.

yeah this confuses me too, what exactly have they communicated for the rest of this year that Sony is lacking? would it be better if Sony gave us empty platitudes? I'd rather they wait until they have substance
Why do you feel the need for Sony to talk more? Sony will talk when they are ready.
My guess is the only reason Microsoft have spoke about XCloud is they don't want to surprise people too much again when they announce the next Xbox and get ahead of Google so they don't look like followers.

Sony has this gen in the bag. MS is desperate to leave it behind and start fresh.

I just wanna know where the name changes are. They said early 2019 and the end of 'early' 2019 is swiftly approaching with no word or update.
Or you could look it up yourself, rather than being defensive about poor market leader Sony.
What do you even want them to say? What is it that you need more information on. If it is release dates, you know that they will have them once they know they are ready. We already know the games they have in the works. You have to assume that all their other developers will be working towards PS5 and it not the time to reveal them yet. It's not like we are in a drought of games. Hell, there are too many games to even put time on.
Once they are ready to show what they have, it will be as exciting as always.
