OH NO NO NO NO

Look at the bottom

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

not a single good game

Sony is cooked man

They really have nothing huh

It's all slop made to please shareholders, not actual players

Hamfisted DEI, at least the latest entries into each franchise

Blatant propaganda inserted into the product for media to sing its praises mindlessly

It works on normies all the time

This industry should fucking crash and burn. It would be 100% deserved.

Don't you shit on Gran Turismo.

helldivers is good

The worst fate of a good game is to turn into a franchise

gravestone.jpg - 1100x1100, 350.73K

Major Franchises

Horizon

Sex

Sony will die on that hill

The "people " who grew up on this slop are now becoming old enough to become nostalgic for it and enter the industry. You thought things are bad? You ain't seen nothing yet.

Nu Gran Turismo is shit.

The emperors new franchise

Fairgames

Emerging IP

Oh no

Destiny is dying and if Marathon bombs it's legitimately over for Bungie

really impressed by the mythological levels of conceit required to qualify your shitty horrendous franchises as "world class" before they even come out and have the chance to flop horribly

Sega should just come back into the console race if these are the type of ips you need to sell a console on the market these days

cart before the horse, the corporation

You're just old anon. RS remakes came out almost 11 years ago, so they are literally a lot of people's childhood now.

I dont know how many times I can relive my BRINK trauma with those failed multiplayer shooter hopefuls...

And what shit remakes they were

Bear in mind the company is being guided by a man who looks like this

wow
lmao

These all suck compared to the ps1 and ps2 and even ps3 era franchises

ghost is good

I'm out of the loop on Gran Turismo. What's up with it nowadays?

He looks like he loves Horizon Zero Dawn

why do you people glorify others failures? does it make you feel better about being a failure yourself?

projector above me
pedophile below me

I love pokemon

Lost soul

Who is glorifying this? It is shameful, embarrassing and pathetic, nothing about this level of performance from Sony is good, for them or people who game.

Concord is on the list

how old is this?

uncharted 2 and helldivers are good

It's over

nintendo wins solely by the competition ACKing themselves

it just KEEPS HAPPENING

Sony actually thought Concord would be a massive success. Let that sink in

Fotm garbage

This is really sad after you look at Nintendo's and Microsoft's IPs. Sony used to have some many good ips, what a sad sad world.

I will not be letting ANY sinks into my house, piss off

*so

Look at the bottom

Nah.

so glad Kojima didn't join this "family" lmao, sony has become a fucking joke

Horizon... a "MAJOR" franchise

The fucking ames that sony keeps trying to shove down everyone's throat? that franchise?

I've played one of those and it wasn't good.

PlayStation honestly won't exist in the next 15-20 years at this rate of decay. They will be next Atari. Mega titans to landfills. Mobile gaming is surpassing consoles at a 10:1 ratio in terms of profit and MAUs.

gran turismo hasnt been good in 15 years

only 2 of those IPs flopped

not bad actually

MAJOR FRANCHISES

all of them have two games tops and no new release in sight/are story finished

Why can't people understand the meaning behind words anymore?

you mean 3

More like 20 years.

That pic gave me a hearty chuckle

Who is glorifying this?

sony apparently

How do we save Sony

Disband the American division.

sony is already pivoting to asian and european developed games but due to the nature of modern game dev it won't be noticeble untill half the ps6 gen is done

Every other branch of Sony is doing well if a bit fucked like Sony """Film"""
Just give full control back to the JP branch for the PlayStation division

There is no way, killing Japan Studios killed Sony, their American division will face the AAA crash, their PlayStation hardware will die sometime during 10th generation because no one is going to be able to pay for it, it's over.

they are still better games than anything (bar Arceus) that came after, that include my very anticipated and massively disappointing gen 4 remakes

Fairgame$ might be good

stop promoting yourself Dale

Lol

send it back to japan

Lasting franchises

More like your last franchises

Progressive movie games about feminism and indigenous folx and the evil of white male colonialism (Horizon)

Progressive movie games about men ditching toxic masculinity (God of War)

Progressive movie games with lesbians and pro-Jewish Israeli propaganda (Last of Us)

Progressive movie games made for the black audience (Spider-Man)

Progressive action game that is supposed to satirize chuds and fascism and show how easy it is for chuds to side with a fascist government (Helldivers II)

Sports games (MLB, Gran Turismo)

Progressive live service competitive FPS with lots of trans folx representation and the first black trans womxn character (Concord, Fairgames, Marathon)

Games for gamers:
Astro Bot

Huh, I wonder WHY, just WHY Snoy isn't selling well these days....

What happened to standout logos? It's all Black/White fonts that you can find on MS paint.

file.png - 640x307, 220.82K

SpOYderman included over Ratchet & Clank

Man, it was already grim but now it's just beyond depressing.

US AIDS enforced minimalist art over anything fancy. That was killed so the fancy logos should start returning.

Sony hates gameplay and fun, I wonder how long they're going to push Astrobot before they kill that too.

Considering it swept the rug under Concord's feet and mugged all the awards, i am dead convinced Hulst hates Team Asobi with a passion right now and he's plotting how to fire them.

Always online DRM and server checks.

these people should be dragged into the street and shot

only one game on that list is suitable for a young audience

Remember when Sony used to make games for all ages? Stuff like Twisted Metal for adults, Parappa for early teens and Ape Escape for younglings?
This is literally taking away freedom of choice because the investors say the third party companies will cover their asses on the fronts that are lacking. Vomit-inducing.

it's really funny when PS5 owners insist that it has games look at this fucking shit, just admit you didn't want to shell out for a PC

Sony used to be one of the beacons of AAs and gameplay-focused games. Now that belongs to Nintendo and Microsoft. They really fell off.

helldivers 1 and 2 are fun, and I'm tired of pretending they aren't

Tendies are still butthurt.

Priceless!

astro-bot.gif - 200x200, 222K

japanese corporation

only good product is made by japanese company

when will they learn to stop trusting western gaijin?

Why Sony hate their Japanese branch?

I wouldn't count on it

fire everyone who is in the california division and move back to japan

They will be around for a long time simply due to their competitors being absolute fucking retards + they own the industry and journalists.

FIRE NEIL DRUCKMANN ALREADY!

IT'S THAT EASY, GOD!

At this point I wish nothing but the total collapse of AAA

Nintendo and Microsoft will take over gaming with their dockable hybrids and first party games

Gaming is healing in real time

holy mother of slop

Never played it but Helldivers 2 looked decent enough.

They have gone down the road of DLC MTX and bullshit anon. They will never be as great as they were at the end of the PS2 era.

Just like AC Shadows totally saved Ubisoft. Right.

They should remove Marathon already, it's a complete embarrassment.

Phrenology is always right.

maybe they should start with concord

That is why you shou- no you must buy stellar blade on PC to send a message

fun is a antisemitic slur

That's a foundation of utter shit.

Concord is fine, it had soul :^)

They're not even putting Ratchet & Clank on there? That's grim.

Welcome to western AAA

braindead cutesy platformer that barely sold

game for gamers

lol
Norse God of War despite having a lot of cutscenes still has a ton of gameplay and of the games you listed it has the most stereotypically "gamey" systems. At its heart it's an action game with progression, exploration, and light puzzles.
And it's sold way more than Astro Bot.

I don't even know what that's about, but I do know that it's the reason why in Gran Turismo the texts are accompanied by portraits of normal women and black women, as if in the real world you'd find lots of women talking about the shape of the exhaust on 1980s Toyota cars or something.

Gran Turismo is 9/10 to 10/10
Helldivers was legit fun
Until Dawn was enjoyable
Uncharted was always decent popcorn kino in game form

Rest is trash, I agree.

Sega should just come back into the console race if these are the type of ips you need to sell a console on the market these days

Bamco would probably make a killing if they made one

GTA and Astrobot are going to bail this console out, meaning more sony slop to come. It's all so tiresome

nuke israel

Marathon

Emerging IP

I guess they're pulling a Sony again with that lie

For a whole 10 hours... Then you realize its the same ubishit formula game with a different name.

Astro bot probably isn't getting a sequel (Sony would need to have a brain to recognize they managed to make a good game) and gta isn't coming out for at least a year.
the ps5 might legitimately end its lifespan with under 5 games

Gran Turismos' been shit since 5, anon. Le Car Autismo can't make a decent game anymore and Forza lapped them with Motorsport 3.

He should go play with his prototypes that he really wants to do.

They could revive like 10 PS2 franchises with the money from FAIRGAMES alone.
Or 100 franchises with the money from Concord.

Make a better game if its so easy

mercy killing

why did you pretend they aren't?

Car culture is literally dead. Who cares about GT when it hasn't been good since GT4?

Mid PS3 is when these shitty trends started, I doubt those who grew up on the second half of PS3 are old (or smart) enough to be in the industry (yet)

Look at the rest

AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

both xbox and sony are trusting on R* to bail them out with gta

deep down most sane people know that it will be just more of the same but with fancier graphics

everyone already forgot how much of a letdown was V both story and singleplayer wise compared to lV and previous games and it took almost a year for the Online to be implemented and an extra year for a pc release.

Man this generation is a fucking joke, say whatever you want about nintendo or PC but atleast they are not putting all their eggs in one basket

Dead because Sony snuck in the DRM from Assassin's Creed 2

Japan Studio died for this

why would they fire the creator of 2 (soon to be 3) goty games?

better than most other games
including BW

normalfags literally do not care about story or gameplay you just need to jangle keys in front of them with "Look at the pores on that DOOD it's so realistic!" and they'll eat up anything
gta 6 will probably be "ok" and sell a trillion copies because normalfags will eat it up

This industry should fucking crash and burn. It would be 100% deserved.

It can only crash if the global rotten financial system crashes. And then video games would be the last of your problems.

I don't really see anything wrong with enjoying spectacle.

Marathon

they just faced a new controversy regarding plagiarism

Kek

go watch a movie then
those have much more spectacle than most games
games should be games, something that sony forgot a decade ago

Poor Gran Turismo logo :(

It can only crash if the global rotten financial system crashes.

give it another few months we're already halfway there

Where did it all go so wrong

This. Movie games are so same-y to me, especially since most devs don't bother with anything outside of UE, and never bother to optimize, so consoomers just consoom like they do so well because at least it's pretty

I would sacrifice all of these in a heartbeat to bring back Japan Studio.

i just don't like how it feels that this generation of consoles only purposse was to run GTA 6, barely surviving on indie stuff and mediocre games.

"Look at the pores on that DOOD it's so realistic!"

reminds me of this

I'll give Astrobot a pass and Helldivers.

Americans ruin everything.

eh might as well, lets just accelerate to total financial ruin

then why is switch the most popular console by far

It will never crash, too big to fail, if anything the closest thing to a crash that it will ever happen will be both xbox and sony going multiplat...and xbox is already doing that.
Steam is way too big to die, only a massive and colosal fuck up will put a dent in it.
Nintendo is in their own bubble and even if for some reason...dies....steam and everyone else will go as nothing happened.

because the last even tolerable movie game came out 7 years ago

Rockstar has always pushed the industry forward, RDR2 is the reason TOTK was delayed so they could add interactible NPC's.

However, I think it's unironically over as every major studio feels invincible, they feel as if they no longer have to innovate. All they have to do is appease troons and non-gamers and in their eye's they'll succeed. Look at how they killed Saints Row, the last gta clone. Look at how they ruined rocksteady and WB games. the current state of gaming means more of the same will continue to come out with only a few outstanding games released.

At this point, the only people observing and improving seem to be the RGG studio (Project Millenium) and Kojima

Why can't Sony IPs sell? Is Playstation just a third-party machine?

Brave, compelling, dynamic, and most importantly, it's important
Well, I'm convinced, time to get a system that's only good for playing movies with occasional segments of gameplay, to "play" a "game" about butch girl power, complete with ubitowers

I have literally never met someone who played any Horizon game. How is this a major franchise? I'm not even saying that to be a hater, I don't really feel one way or the other about the series. But I am surrounded by gamers that run the gamut from unlovable incel to stereotypical leftist gurrrrl gamer, and I don't know a single one who has touched a single game in this series. WHO IS PLAYING THESE GAMES???

Ghost of Tsushima, Helldivers and Astrobot are good
The rest is utter trash

emerging

Looks like they didn't float so good

is the shit even releasing? most multiplayer projects were cancelled already. Do they really still plan to release it?

Because Sony marketed the fuck out of it, and sheeple feel like with that much (artificial) hype, it's gotta be good. And since most modern gamers have grown complacent to movie games, they think they like it because

muh robot dinos

I hope they do because it would be so much funnier. SEGA cancelling HYENAS blue balled me so I hope Sony gives me what I deserve.

we

not my problem

astro bot won goty bro

HYENAS

You can't be serious. Of all the arena shooters, THAT was you most wanted?
I guess I feel better about where my life is, thanks Anon

Yeah, I get that it was super marketed, but that's my point. I know plenty of sheeple who have fallen for the marketing for every other game on that list, but even those ones haven't played a Horizon game. I seriously feel like I'm being lied to that it's a major franchise.

He means he wanted it to fail at launch just like concord
I just hope sony doesnt blueball me with pic related

file.png - 756x514, 750.56K

That anon was blueball'd from seeing a proper release and subsequent flop... please work on your reading comprehension, retard kun

gt kinda become mid after 4 and astro is OK, the rest are world class stinkers lmao

Arceus was dogshit and honestly the reason why we got the disappointing gen 4 remakes in the first place.

imagine the irony, after snoys trannies were shitting endlessly on AI image gen one of their own turned out to be a literal fucking thief

they already had a sonic suit asset in the game

never used

I remember I worked as a IT tech support in a dev company years ago. They used to save all their their rejected assets/projects in a NAS instead their own aws cloud service

file.png - 946x768, 643.43K

PlayStations whole gimmick during the early days was they were much easier to partner with via 3rd party vs Nintendo or Sega. Now it doesn't matter anymore since PC is huge.

It's pretty much a "major franchise" because Sony insists it is
Ah, then I take back what I said, apologies Also, on that note, I've been curious about the existence of this as well, I hope you anons get what you seek. As for me, I'm so out 9f the loop, I doubt I'll see anything of interest ever again (that isn't to say I don't see anything interesting anymore, but when I see something I potentially want, it's monkey paw'd to hell)
Fair enough

Haven't played a single thing on that list.
Except the original Gran Turismo. I didn't know that shit still existed.

Arceus a game they had 0 faith in, that they send it to die on a dead month like January and then surpassed every expectation, including GF's itself, is the one to blame because ILCA are a bunch of incompetent motherfuckers

You have your prerogative of not liking Arceus, I'm not going to argue about that, but going on a limb and saying dumb shit like that is just plain stupidity, IF Arceus would have been given not only the care but the "premium slot" that Legends ZA has I would even entertain your stupid Idea, but GF didn't know the gem they had in their hands and they send it to die.

At least I can rest asure that Arceus was the last game we had with Classic Sugimori characters design before changing to the androgynous abominations from SV and AZ.

Try Ghost of Tsushima if you like open worlds. I played it for 40+ hours and I don't regret it.
Helldiver 2 is PvE shooter and surprisingly the community is welcoming on new players. I played it like 6 months after launch and people in game even gave me secondary weapons and backpacks to try on and carried me the few days to unlock the first banner. There are banners you can buy at the store but you can unlock them by collecting credits in game for playing.
Astrobot is a fun super mario game with cool mechanics and puzzles. You might enjoy it a bit more if you know the sony old franchises.

CEO of Haven just left the studio.
It's falling down
