- Thread starter Era of not Yakuza

User warned: console warring
Super Bunnyhop made a video that covers the subject pretty well.
edit: also, I fail to see how a thread dedicated to strawmanning genuine concerns over the similarity of Sony's 1st party games is 'fun', but whatevs

Drive a variety of vehicles around a number of environments, including a major city. Shoot weapons. Spend most of your time online.
Look at these 3rd person open world games where the stories are inconsequential and feature open-air gameplay
Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Just Cause 2
Or how about these almost identical games where the goal is to rotate the world to solve puzzles with the result of getting an item at the end?

Because like with Ubisoft's output the similarities in design are completely overblown while the major differences and nuances of the various title's core gameplay are completely ignored. It's basically the modern day version of the "all nintendo games are the same" rhetoric. Here's the deal:
Are Sony's studios influenced by the strides made by ND
Yes, unapologetically so because artists are usually incredibly clear about who and what influences their work
Does this make Sony's output too similar beyond surface level comparisons that stem from the above
No. Because again, there are major differences in the core gameplay beyond the surface level comparisons as well as major differences in the art direction beyond the similar pursuit of emulating the look of a film.
If you were to sit down and play GoW for an hour, sitting down to then play TLOU would feel jarring right down to the way it feels to move the character around.

"Real concern" manufactured by a troll. You must be new to internet forums.
Considering 3rd person camera has become more popular than the FPS genre, to a point where even Cyberpunk got hate when it was confirmed to be a FPS, this picture is doing free advertising for Sony and will likely get even more gamers on their platform. So uh, nice fail there, I guess?
But what's embarrassingly sad about the salty troll that created this picture is that he waited for very specific angles until he could finally find one that matches another picture. A real mouth-breathing neckbeard with nothing better to do. Notice how in the Death Stranding pic, he waited to see a shot that goes over the shoulder. We don't even know what Death Stranding plays like or if the camera will be over the shoulder. It's a desperate attempt.
That feeling when the competition has so many games you can't play, you decide to make a salty pic about it.

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

It wasn't even about the 3rd Person camera angle. It was about the concern that too many games use the Uncharted/Tlou template, thus resulting in "samey" looking games, even gameplay-wise. God of war was a good example, because all the previous entries had a different genre.

Both of their names start with "Grimoire."
Which game is this from?
What's the Uncharted/TLOU template, exactly?
If every movie pushes good narrative, does that mean all movies are the same? Do you watch movies?
The new God of War is an action adventure game, just like the old games were. Changing the camera didn't change the type of game it is. This one's 3rd person and the old ones were 3rd person too. Different, sure, but still 3rd person, and I prefer it this way.
Check out this video:
What kind of game does this look like to you, and which other game in that pic plays like this?
Look how similar that looks to Uncharted LULZ, and TLOU LULZ, and Death Stranding LULZ, and Ghost of Tsushima LULZ, etc LULZ
Embarrassing that you can't see the true intention behind the pic. It's clear as day that it was created by a dumbfuck salt troll. :)

I can barely tell Super Mario Land 2 and Castlevania apart. The only major difference I can spot is that Wario loves garlic and the vampire boy probably doesn't.
can you spot at least 5 differences???
both are Persona games, they are basically the same, I have to try very hard to see a difference
