3/20/2023 0 Comments State of decay 3 ps4Sony, meanwhile, still has Naughty Dog itself working on sequels like Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us 2.A new Gears game at one time would have been one of the hallmark releases of the year across any platform, but it’s pretty clear that time has passed as the series mostly produces more of the same. Gears 4, for example, was a perfectly fine game, but almost always overlooked among everything else that came out this past fall. The problem with this “sub in” idea is that while the games are good, they’re always chasing after what came before, afraid to change too much in order to “honor” the old titles and please fans, but not really advancing the series forward in a meaningful way, or having it continue on when it probably just should have ended, and everyone moves on to something else. Bungie and Epic are gone, and now it’s 343 and The Coalition at the helm. But the problem is that this means it has handed them over to two new developers. Microsoft is keeping its two most beloved franchises alive, Halo and Gears, however it can.What’s the difference between Sony and Microsoft here? What is one doing that the other isn’t? I think there are a few issues to talk about here. Many of the released titles are Game of the Year contenders in some capacity, which is something I don’t think anyone has said lately about Gears 4 or Halo Wars 2 outside of die-hard Xbox fans. If you flip to Sony, you have Until Dawn, Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, The Last Guardian, Nioh and Horizon Zero Dawn, with The Last of Us 2 and God of War 4 up ahead. Dead Rising and State of Decay are uh, adequate zombie franchises.īut the list sort of peters out there, and the only game there I would actually consider can't-miss is probably Halo. I think Sunset Overdrive was a promising new IP that didn’t get enough love. ReCore is creative and Forza always fills the racing niche better than its rivals. I loved Halo 5, and was satisfied with Gears of War 4. Microsoft has certainly produced some good games. This is in contrast to Nintendo, which always produces solid first-party titles, but lacks most everything that’s third-party multiplatform, and Xbox, which still has a few core exclusive franchises, but they’re not what they once were, and Microsoft is almost more likely to cancel new exclusive IPs than see them to completion at this point. Sony is doing a great job cultivating high-quality exclusive sequels from its storied franchises, but also creating new IPs that are must-have games. This topic is unavoidably going to turn into a fanboy minefield in short order, but the narrative is pretty clear. Not just that Horizon Zero Dawn is great, but that once again, it’s a Sony exclusive. I’m still surprised that the team behind Killzone was able to produce a game that’s just totally on another level like this, after all.īut this is the other story here. Given that it’s a new IP, I wouldn’t blame someone not in the industry bubble for failing to realize that Horizon was a PS4 exclusive, as my Xbox One-owning friend just discovered.
