THEORY TIME!
The recent foxygames leak where he stated that Sony will release 6 AAA exclusives on their platform got me thinking:
(Take this theory and his leak with a grain of salt of course)
What if Sony wants to familiarize their fan base with a batch load of sequels to get people acquainted with their IP's more and let the supporters of those IP's rejoice. Once all of the big sequels are released they'll reveal their new IP's to show the creativity that these new machines will allow. Let me elucidate:
foxygames stated that these 6 AAA titles will be released within the first year of the consoles lifespan (presumably Q4 2020-Q4 2021).
These 6 titles are possibly:
HZD 2 (all but confirmed) Shows off a combination of the creativity that can now be allowed with the CPU and the SSD
GT 7 (all but confirmed) Shows off RT capability's
Spider-Man 2? Shows off SSD streaming tech
God Of War 2? Shows off all of the craziness with physics and AI (many enemies on screen) with the new CPU's
Bloodborne 2??? Shows new gameplay design possibilities with the new SSD
Until Dawn 2??? Shows how story-telling can evolve with new hardware
(This isn't even including potential cross-gen remasters)
The words in bold are to show what I think the main selling point will be for newcomers.
This probably can't work as the public may be turned away by the sequels and will say "the originality is gone".
However I think this could work and would please both audiences.
Everybody would win!
Thoughts?
