[AJUMP23]

Time for some new franchises to come along.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Microsoft is now the undisputed king of FPS games and RPGs.

 

[lefty1117]

You forgot Elder Scrolls on the Xbox list. And I just realized that MS now holds ESO and WoW, two of the top maybe 5 or 6 MMOs out there with WoW still at #1. Hell of a list

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

Sony needs to develop a flagship JRPG and WRPG franchise. There's a huge void in the market where Bioware and (good) Final Fantasy used to be. They should also probably buy Bungie in order to have a competitive FPS.

 

[Represent.]

Dont forget KNACK

 

[TintoConCasera]

Thanks for the effort OP.

Got kinda sad reading the Nintendo section tho. F-Zero, where are you?

 

[Nankatsu]

How could you forget Sony's GOAT?

 

[Bragr]

Dont forget KNACK

Damn, I forgot the most important one. Added.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

pretty brutal when you type it out like that. reading xbox vs. sony side-by-side is borderline comical.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

 

[Oddvintagechap]

You included the most random franchises for Xbox. Geometry Wars, Conker , Dance Central, Viva Pinata, Heretic, Solider of Fortune?

Don’t mention Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Returnal, Bloodborne, Demon Souls, .. Hell Knack might be bigger all those titles.

 

[Ash Sparrow]

MS buying Activision feels like April Fools joke. Cant wrap myself around the massiveness.

 

[Represent.]

Some random IP Sony owns that they could bring back:

Dark Cloud
Cool Boarders
DriveClub
The Order
Until Dawn
Arc The Lad
Jet Moto
Warhawk

Ones you missed:

Ghosts of Tsushima
Death Stranding
Returnal
Bloodborne
Demon Souls

 

[Banjo64]

Xbox owns a shit tonne of IP on paper. But what good is it to own Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, Perfect Dark and the like when in 20 years of ownership they’ve only released;

- Nuts and Bolts
- Live and Reloaded
- PD Zero

1 game in each respective franchise. Whoop-de-fucking-do.

Doesn't a franchise must have more than one title to be considered as franchise?

 

[Diddy X]

If I were MS I would put them to create new IPs RIGHT AWAY! make like 10 or 20 new IPs, we want fresh stuff ffs!!!!!!!

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Sony missing Spiderman, Days Gone and MLB.

None of those are franchises, apart from Knack. Franchises = more than 1 game in the series.

If I'm gonna add single games then the Xbox and Nintendo lists are both gonna become A LOT bigger too.

 

[ChiefDada]

The way I see it, Sony no longer has the luxury of being as secretive with what's in the pipeline production. I expect them to be more vocal about their value proposition because things look very different to the casual gamer now. Bring on the MGS, Sly Cooper, and Bloodborne Remake trailers asap!

 

[Bragr]

Sony missing Spiderman, Days Gone and MLB.

MLB I can add, Days Gone is a single game, not a franchise. I have no idea about Spider-Man really, I can add it since it's such a big Playstation franchise now, but I think it's some sort of joint ownership between Sony and Marvel, so I'm not sure how much control Sony got over the game license.

 

[A.M.A.K]

Wasteland

Hey, someone who gets it.

 

[Deerock71]

Time for some new franchises to come along.

Nintendo needs the next Miyamoto.

 

[TGO]

 

[aclar00]

I don't see Jumping Flash or Xtreme Games on there for Sony!

 

[kyliethicc]

Dont forget KNACK

love you

 

[ShirAhava]

wow that sony list is depressing the only series I care about are Motorstorm and Wipeout

Evolution Studios closed and liverpool merged with XDEV and no new news about a current gen game

When it comes to sony I guess I'm gonna be playing vita/ps3 games forever good thing vita is life

 

[DGrayson]

Lists dont make much sense when you include franchises that are totally dead.

I understand trying to be complete but who cares about 1080 or Conker. The companies who own the IP dont care obviously

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Playstation has overall the best franchises still.
They need to work on the lack of multiplayer exclusives though.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

None of those are franchises, apart from Knack. Franchises = more than 1 game in the series.

If I'm gonna add single games then the Xbox and Nintendo lists are both gonna become A LOT bigger too.

youre going by sequels over the size?

So like Stardust over Returnal for Housemarque.

I guess Everyone’s Golf, Arc the lad, Ico franchise, Ape Escape, Sport Champions, Resistance, White Knights Chronicles, Dark Cloud.. are the real heavy hitters.

 

[Lone Wolf]

You forgot Resistance. Sonys best FPS franchise.

 

[KAL2006]

2023/2024 is when things will look a bit more different.

Microsoft will have
COD finally exclusive
Diablo 4 finally releasing and exclusive?
OverWatch 2 releasing and exclusive?
Fable
Hellblade 2
Avowed
Marketing ramping up for Elder Scrolls in 2024 maybe now that Starfield has released

Sony will have
Wolverine
Spiderman 2
Whatever new thing Naughty Dog is cooking
Ghost of Tsushima 2?
Bluepoint game

 

[Topher]

Now I know what GaaS really means. Games as a Scoreboard.

Carry on, list warriors.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Don’t mention Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Returnal, Bloodborne, Demon Souls, .. Hell Knack might be bigger all those titles.

These games should be listed.
OP needs updating

 

[JokerMM]

money can buy you literally anything

vs

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Homie put Candy Crush.

if MS makes that exclusive to gamepass, PS is done. Ill stop using my PS5 as my phone.

 

[Captain Toad]

Returnal, Resogun, Resistance, Bloodborne, Demon's Souls, Ghost of Tsushima, Gravity Rush, Shadow of the Colossus/Ico/Last Guardian, Days Gone, Until Dawn, Dreams, Sunset Overdrive, The Order/DriveClub (RIP)

 

[yurinka]

Spider-Man (likely not owned by Sony, I think they only own the movies?)

IP owned by Marvel. So has the rights to make movies, these rights are completely unrelated to videogames.

Bayonetta

IP owned by Sega

MechWarrior

Many publishers published it. Are you sure Activision owned it?

Tenchu

IP acquired by From Software in 2004.

 

[TintoConCasera]

What about Hellblade?

Captain Toad most of those are single entry. Franchise = more than one entry.

But I would include them anyway since they are potential franchises, even if they aren't yet.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

>Crash and Spyro now exclusive to Xbox

 

[Bragr]

Lists dont make much sense when you include franchises that are totally dead.

I understand trying to be complete but who cares about 1080 or Conker. The companies who own the IP dont care obviously

It's about listing up what notable franchises each company owns, it's not a list of the best-selling or most popular ones. Who knows what sort of franchises will be used in the future.

 

[yurinka]

Sony needs to develop a flagship JRPG and WRPG franchise.

They have things like Final Fantasy, Forspoken, Yakuza or Persona. No need to make their own ones.

 

[Captain Toad]

What about Hellblade?

Captain Toad most of those are single entry. Franchise = more than one entry.

That's probably why I like so many of them. I love new IPs. We get too many sequels in gaming.

 

[Represent.]

vs

Its crazy, but when I look at this, the Sony list of games still appeals to me much more

They have things like Final Fantasy, Forspoken, Yakuza or Persona. No need to make their own ones.

None of those are Western RPGS. They need at least one.

 

[yurinka]

None of those are Western RPGS. They need at least one.

Star Wars KOTOR remake, Horizon, Assassin's Creed, The Witcher, Cyberpunk, Deus EX, Mass Effect, Dragon Age... they have ton of them.

Now make me a list of console WRPGs not released on PS and if possible with decent sales of let's say 10M copies.

 

[Bragr]

IP owned by Marvel. So has the rights to make movies, these rights are completely unrelated to videogames.


IP owned by Sega

IP acquired by From Software in 2004.

But Tenchu is now Activision as far as I know, no matter who made it.

MechWarrior is apparently owned by Microsoft now.

I'm was unsure of Bayonetta and added it in haste, but of course, that's Sega, I'll remove it.

Spider-Man I can't find any concrete info on, I know Activision used to own the rights to the games, but I suppose it's impossible to say Sony "owns" anything related to Spider-Man games, so I should remove that game too.

 

[ethomaz]

How do you forget even recent franchises like Demon’s Souls, Bloodborne, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Returnal, etc?

 

[yurinka]

But Tenchu is now Activision as far as I know, no matter who made it.

No, you're wrong. Use google, wikipedia or something.

MechWarrior is apparently owned by Microsoft now.

Source?

Spider-Man I can't find any concrete info on, I know Activision used to own the rights to the games, but I suppose it's impossible to say Sony "owns" anything related to Spider-Man games, so I should remove that game too.

Marvel owns Spider-Man, Disney own Marvel. Marvel/Disney license many different publishers to use their characters on videogames. The case of the Spider-Man games made by Sony are only one of them.

Spider-Man appears on a shit ton of other games. As an example it recently was included in Fortnite, which isn't a Sony game.

Tenchu is From Software not Activision.
Mechwarrior I need to check.
Bayonetta is Sega.
Spider-man is licensed to Sony… it is Marvel IP.

I mean you added a lot of stuff to MS and forget all the Sony IPs.
