looks like Xseries has PS covered this year in exclusives, Spider man 2 will be huge!
Too much third party in that list, which I was under the impression is Bad (TM), according to 'everyone else'.
I read "playstation showcase" and thought the time had finaly come.
unfortunately not yet.
Noice
That's how u entice players
Strong year
So much good stuff.
I'm waiting for more news on Anno 1800....
So if u have a PC, and dont't have a PS5 what are u missing on? Horizon DLC, FFXVI for 6 months and Spiderman? Weak.
It is definitely weaker than last year with Horizon, Gran Turismo and God of War. Not every year can have so many bangers directly from sony. But hey, good games nontheless. And who knows for what surprises we are in. And there is quite some stuff going on with playstation in general, considering that they will launch psvr in a month or so.
Is it weak if I only have a PS5?
No. In fact i wouldnt say it was weak even if a user owned both a PC and a Ps5. Maybe for that user but it still cant ignore the fact that not everyone owns both making it not weak.
For instance i own a PC but im not going to call this showcase weak as its pretty strong for the users who own a PS5.
It's a very strong year. Many great games are coming. I just miss true PS5 exclusives. Exclusives define the console.
