You really think this current Sony who knows just like nintendo why people love their ecosystem to just start showing gaas all of a sudden when gow ragnarok was a blockbuster, when tlou hbo is a global phenom, lul.
Also, I do hope they show at most 2 promising gaas games (1 being tlou factions) because overwatch 2 is not doing it for me anymore.
Yes, Sony knows their GaaS MLB, GT7 and Destiny 2 games are the most successful game ever of their studios.

Sony also knows that basically all the most successful games of their platform, in Xbox, in PC and in mobile are GaaS, so this is why they decided to get stronger in GaaS and to release like 8 more from PS Studios in addition to the already released ones.

Absolutely agree dude.

I'm just pointing out the discrepancy in public reception, I know it sounds like I'm shitting on Xbox however they do need to step up their game (pun un-intended).

Most people here want like total destruction of the other with fanboy alliances not understanding the harm they bring to themselves. But yea, Microsoft needs to step up at this point.

I've seen first hand what happens when a company realises it's the only competition in town, and it's detrimental, especially towards the consumer and customers.

I even said this a few weeks ago:

Agreed, Sony/Plastation need strong competitors like Xbox because it ensures they will do their best to deliver to their userbase and customers.

Anyone praying on Xbox's downfall needs to think twice, especially us Playstation gamers.

Didn’t Bluepoint say their next games are “a reimagining of a classic beloved ip, and a new ip”?
No, Bluepoint said that they are done of making remasters and remakes and that at Sony were going to work in original games only.

Their first original game has been God of War Ragnarok, they codeveloped it as one of its support teams. They are relatively small and apparently the whole studio was working on it after the Demon's Souls remake. That would mean that they only have been working on other game for around half a year, so way too early to show it this year.

They didn't have a game design team: they had a single game designer until after GoWR hired a level designer. Not enough designers to make their own game, so their next game is going to be in a support role again.

If someone has any doubts about the effects of how bad PR can affect a brand's perception and 'mindshare'.

It's easier to get excited for an event which will show games we'll actually be able to play in the next year.

From the Xbox Showcase 2020:

Halo Infinite got delayed by a year.
Forza Motorsport is only now coming out in 2023.
Everwild is MIA.
Avowed is MIA.
Hellblade 2 is still not out.
Fable is MIA.
State of Decay 3 is MIA.

Meanwhile every first party game which Sony announced at the PS5 reveal event is out now. Hell, games announced even later like God of War Ragnarock and Horizon are out too. Microsoft need to make it policy to only announce games which are almost guaranteed to release in the next 12 months. No more CGI trailer and then you don't hear about it for 3 years shite.

Sadly this is reality for the Xbox crowd. The fact that Starfield is highlighted for the Xbox showcase tells me they don't have much or if any surprises.

Wow Jim Ryan finally woke up? Who decided to be the brave individual to poke the old bear with a stick during his hibernation period?
Next month Sony will have released basically the first wave of shown games that they did use to promote the PS5, so they will show the second wave of games.

It's a good moment now that they finally had consoles in the stores for a few months and that the PSVR2 launch campaign is over.

That's all. After that as usual Sony will continue releasing, announcing and showing great games for their console several times per year.

Seems that Jim Ryan wasn't the one sleeping here.
