Sony Warned 2024 Would Be Light But PS5 Still Has The Best Games
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
The other companies are just even more incompetent and out of it - Still a trash year from Sony 1st Party.

Indiana Jones and Stalker 2 both interest me more than Silent Hill and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. I'll give Microsoft the exclusive edge for 2024.

IGN is hated in general. Wasn't that long ago Xbox fans were calling out IGN for its "Xbox tax".

A bad year for PS5 results in....
Astro Bot
Final Fantasy Rebirth
Helldivers 2
Rise of Ronin
Stellar Blade
Silent Hill 2
TLOU 2 Remastered
Horizon Remastered
Wu Kong
PS5 Pro enhanced games
You guys better hope they don't have a good year in 2025. I'm not sure you'll be able to handle it. Lol.

I'm good. I'm have an overall backlog and now a Pro-specific backlog. And the forever game GT7 is getting a Pro patch.
Partnering with 3rd parties to fill out their portfolio is one of the reasons Playstation is the most balanced platform.

The article says that Sony had a good year despite the warnings of the company (which are mostly unrelated to this topic, anyway). Are you this slow every time?

They're pretty much at the point of having to add an asterisk to write off PS5s success.
It's getting super embarrassing.

I've only played astro bot on ps5 this year but it was more than enough to make me happy with the system.

Or was it DF? Could swear there was a site where people say they hate Playstation.

I think it is a great year, especially all third party exclusives Sony signed.
But I can understand people are upset the slow update from their signature first party studios.
But my biggest problem is still their western leadership being way to enthusiastic to bring too much political agenda into games.

I just like great games, I don't give a shit where they come from.
Japan has been killing it this generation though.

For the first party?
What up with this list war that context is out of window?
2024 wasn't a good year for Sony because Sony first party studios are out of scene.
People need to stop using that stupid list war to validate their argument. Most of the games in that list wasn't from Sony First Party Studios, so Sony in 2024 was depenting of third party or exclusivity deals to keep up with 2024.
I got a bunch of good and new games this year for my PS5 (Granblue, Dragon Ball, Astro Bot, Unicorn Overlord, Warhammer), but doens't remove the fact that 'In 2024 Sony first party studios was lackluster'.

People do this to themselves though and end up eating crow almost every fucking time.Sony fans when a couple days pass without news.
The PS5 Pro is the latest example of this.
Hating on people talking about it in retrospect, is just weird.

Almost all games i bought this gen came from the East. Looking at my physical games shelf thers only 2 western games there for PS5. GoW Ragnarok and Cyberpunk.

*but, but, but
The reality - the PS5 as a platform had an amazing fucking year, regardless of how many asterisks you have to use to make yourself feel comfortable about it.

There seems to be a sentiment on social media that a game doesn’t count unless it comes from a wholly owned first-party studio
nah bro. We're all just wondering what the 1st party studios are doing for the most part.

1st party didn't have the big known franchises, just like they claimed. But Astro Bot has delivered and all the games they've paid for exclusivity for got high scores. PS has done that pretty much every gen which makes them incredibly tough to compete against. If the majority of copies are going to be sold on PS anyway, they can sign huge exclusives left and right and it probably barely costs them anything.
The bigger issue at hand is if they will ever have this option ever again if their 1st party output slows down. I get the feeling that both Stella Blade and FFVII publishers wish they were on PC at the very least and are not happy with the sales. Silent Hill is on PC, and so is BMW. Xbox is going to bow out of the traditional console space so we're likely seeing one of the last big years where 3rd party exclusives can carry Sony. I don't think Rise of the Ronin met expectations either, and even 2nd party stuff like Helldivers 2 went viral in large part due to PC.

Many say DF is biased against PlayStation rather than "hate", but yeah there is a bit of that.

Obvious paid article. Why is this even posted here.

Eh…I picked up Wukong, and I’ll buy Stellar Blade and TLoU2 when they hit PC.
Guess I’m just getting old, because nothing else there excites me. Microsoft has more upcoming PC releases that interest me, but that depends on how they turn out.

This year has been good for PS5, not the best, but it is the only platform where you can play all the Goty candidates: FF Rebirth, Astrobot, Metaphor and Silent Hill 2.

That discussion only exists, because console warriors exist.
- That game was moneyhatted
- That game was just third Party
- That game was just second Party
- That game was day1 on Pc
- That game was just a timed exclusive
- That game was just a remaster
- That game was just a remake
- That game was whatever fits my narrative
Nobody gives a shit and even if the number of Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft games was zero in a year, there is still plenty of 3rd party games to play to make most gamers happy, casuals in any case.

How it is having a PS5
Exactly.
I keep saying, if we're gonna keep using asterisks for games then this iconic pic is now invalid:
But you will still see ppl use this pic when talking about console libraries.

Really enjoyed PlayStation first party games ever since the PS3 generation, but I'll never understand the attitude some people have that if it isn't first party then it somehow doesn't count or is a lesser game.

Honestly, Xbox has also been lowkey having a good year. They had age of mythology retold in September( a great fucking game), the new flight simulator(releasing this year) looks amazing, plus they have Indiana Jones and stalker 2 set for this year as well.Yeah, I remember when 2024 was supposed to be the year of Xbox.
But in reality
