After Persona isn't the year just about done as far as exclusives....well Crash I guess

People already mentioned some stuff.

I'm also pretty confident Detroit will be released later this year.

Beyond: Two souls came out 4 years ago before PS4 was even released

I gotta believe one of those heavy hitters is coming this year

Detroit, Days Gone, God of War, Spiderman etc. all hitting in 2018 would be pretty insane.

I think both The Last of Us 2 and Death Stranding are 2019 games

if anyone reads down on his tweet - he clarifies it further. The fact that WIn10 games = no xboxone exclusives = gamers with a PC will get almost all content btw PS4+Xboxone = negates the need for a Xboxone.

People don't seem to understand this. It negates the need for a PC.

Sony really has hit it out of the park with their exclusives.

They have a little something for everybody and they didn't focus on one "killer app" (ala, Halo).

Uncharted 4 (cinematic 3rd party action), Bloodborne (ARPG), Horizon (Open World RPG), first in line for some DLC content from Call of Duty/Destiny stuff, some indies....

There is something for everyone.

Think Detroit probably has the best chance, if any, to hit this year. God of War seems locked for early 2018. Days Gone, hard for me to see how far along it is.

GT Sport... Only Kaz knows.

What's interesting is not whether one is ahead of the other, imo, it's that the differences are so small in comparison to the glory days of the PS2. Being ahead by a handful of key games is all that the clear market leader can manage in the era of homogenous "everything on every system" gaming.
Click to expand...

I get what you mean and i kinda agree. PS2 had all the major 3rd party exclusives. None of that is happening these days. Still, it's having those extra games, whether they'll sell or not, is what makes your platform stand out even more in this era of homogenous everything on every system market, as you put it.

I can't believe we just mentioned a whole truckload of titles that are probably 2017, early 2018. And we haven't touched Spiderman and TLOU 2 wow.
Click to expand...

Because no way those will be coming this year. Both trailers screamed "very early in development"

At least with Detroit we had one trailer in 2015 and gameplay trailer last year.

Sony is killing it in 2017 when it comes to exclusives.

lol its certainly worth taking a peek when Jeff scores something highly.
Click to expand...

For fun, I went back and looked at the last few games Jeff gave 5 stars to and I don't like any of them:

Titanfall 2
Super Mario Maker
Axiom Verge
GTA V
Bioshock Infinite


The reviews for this game have gotten me somewhat interested, but I'm the guy that hates a lot of really highly reviewed games (Uncharted, Last of Us, GTA, The Witcher 3, etc..), so I'll probably wait until its on sale.

I know, it's just amazing we have so many titles in the pipeline. Good to be a gamer, bad for our wallets.

Hot Shots Golf, Wipeout Collection and Dreams are my guess. Not expecting anything major till 2018.
Click to expand...
First of all Gran Turismo is going to come out. That is one of the heaviest hitter even in 2017. And I think some of you are sleeping on Dreams. Those types of games are targeted towards younger gamers and they are often money making machines because of the business model they use. LBP is one of the most profitable franchise Sony made last generation.

Gran Turismo is already confirmed for 2017. I was just mentioning titles without release date that would be Q4 games (have their own dedicated fanbase and won't be affected by 3rd Party AAA)

God of War, Days Gone, Spider-Man - 2018

TLOU 2, Death Stranding, SP New IP - 2019

Well maybe this reviewer uses the entire scale as opposed to the rest of the industry.

Also I never liked comparing it to a grading scale since there's no difference between 0 and 50, since it's only 5 grades, which is technically a normal 5 star system. It's all semantics anyways
Click to expand...

Yeah I acknowledged that she's using a different scale, which is totally fine and something I actually wished the whole review industry did. For that to happen though you would need some cooperation between the community and for publishers to basically forget what games have scored in the past and get used to a new normal (lower average scores).

I was just responding to the person who said 5 is an average score, which it truly has never been in game reviews. I don't think that's even arguable.

Detroit later this year, Days Gone for March next year, and God of War for late 2018. Spiderman... I don't see it coming before 2019, same for DS and TLoU2.

Edit : Holy moly it's true, Gran Turismo Sport...

This year has been crazy. We have gotten so many games and most are of quality. I won't have any shortage of new releases until E3, where many games will again be announced.

Gran Turismo, Knack 2 and Wipeout Omega Collection if those are your thing. Also Uncharted 4 standalone DLC.

Hollyshit!!! I totally forgot about Wipeout collection.

Seeing that game in 4k has possibly convinced myself to go to the darkside...........and get a PS4 pro possibly if my PC build doesn't cost a lot.

Sorry, I got sidetracked responding to Servbot24's reply.



I think your examples of inexcusable content are likely to result in a game failing to get the relevant certification to even be released. Do you think that a game that tackled those themes in an inexcusable way would get as far as being reviewed?

But, I think there is a grey area there: What about Manhunt? Technically competent? What about the morality of the game? What about GTA? Ethically dubious? How many points do we deduct?

I doubt we're going to agree, and I don't want to have a bad-tempered argument. I just think that a 0/10 review needs something solid on a technical front to back it up. Opinions are one thing, reviews are another.
Click to expand...

Reviews are opinions. If you want a review to be nothing but facts it would no longer be recognizable from what we call reviews. And even taking your point into consideration, that the review needs to tackle the technical aspects of a game, that too would be opinion. Some people have zero problems with framerate drops and others find games that do completely unplayable.

Whenever you ask someone to review a product and give a score, it's in the opinion of the person who reviewed said product.
