Herman Hulst Promises Sony Will Deliver "At Least One" Singleplayer Tentpole Game A Year

Oh no, the PS5 isn't dropping a first party blockbuster every time you sneeze? Must be a brick, right? Totally useless... except for, y'know, the hundreds of amazing third-party games it plays better, faster, and prettier than anything from last gen
We have a pc for that

Yeah, and I have a kitchen but sometimes I still eat out.

Crazy, right? Just say you like gatekeeping and move on

If you're commited to the PC life, why are you even crying about the PS5 not having first-party games right now? Just wait a year or two like every other "Patient Gamer™" and get them on Steam with ultrawide support and 300 mods that replace Kratos with Shrek

You can't complain that the console's a brick and ignore the fact that those same exclusives are coming to your precious PC eventually. Pick a lane, champ.

I don't care about that, I'll always play them one way or the other. I just want them to produce MORE games. For one of the most major publisher, 1 AAA is lame and defeats the point of buying an expensive overpriced console. I still haven't seen a proper next gen since demon souls and thats half a decade now.
 


I hope they can make it a lot more than one...

I want two games a year please, one wouldn't be enough for all that period on one platform.
1 tentpole singleplayer game is normal though. Remember it's not just 1 singleplayer game per year.
So generous thank you for the one per year amazing stuff.
One game a year.

How this guy still has a job has to be the biggest example of DEI ever.
1 a year is nowhere near adequate
PlayStation Published Releases (PS4 and PS5, 2013–2025)
I'd like to see at least 3 AAA premier games every 24 months along with 2 AA games every year. Sony has enough studios to make 5 single player games every 2 years to make this happen.
One game a year...
Honestly, 1 to 2 AAA tentpole games a year is not that bad.

The tweet in the OP and thread title are fake news FUD.

What Hermen really said this (and last) year is that they plan to release every year AT LEAST one TENTPOLE per HOLIDAY SEASON. Not at least 1 tentpole per year (like Yotei for 2025). Not at least 1 game per year. Not 1 game per year. What he was saying was that plan to release every year at least one tentpole (single player, non-GaaS) game during the holiday season of that year.

Meaning, he isn't including there:
  • Additional 'tentpole' games they could release that holiday season
  • Additional 'Tentpole' games that could be released that year outside the holiday season (case of Death Stranding 2 and Lost Soul Aside for 2025)
  • 'Live service games' that could be released during that year (as would be Marathon, Midnight Murder Club for 2025)
  • 'Experimental' games to be released that year (as could be Midnight Murder Club or Lost Soul Aside for 2025)
  • Ports/remasters/etc. (as are Days Gone Remastered, TLOU2 PC, Spider-Man 2 PC, Stellar Blade PC for 2025)

if most of the base isn't happy how does Sony continue to set records with sales and profits on an ongoing basis?
They're not setting records with sales. They're behind the PS4.
Profits? Well, inspect the margins on those profits compared to last gen, sir. But those profits are coming from increasing the prices of PS+ tiers, Warzone and Fortnite MTX cuts and other 3rd party revenue streams. not shit like Returnal or Saros. Hate to break it to ya.

Oh wow, thank you for speaking on behalf of millions of people, Prophet of the PlayStation Nation™
More of a prophet than any of the clowns at Sony who ruined their own pipeline for a because they were greedy and short sighted.
 
This only makes me glad skipping the PS5.
That list of PS5's "Tentpole" games really makes me glad I didn't buy one.

That has to be the worst list of exclusive games for a console that wasn't a complete flop (Stuff like 3D0) ever, right? That list o games is shit. Maybe Xbox is even worse right now? Don't know as I don't follow much what they are putting out anymore but either way this has to be the worst generation by a large margin and it's not going to get better, folks.
Not buying PS5 was a good decision.
