I'm not going to say it's impossible because anything is possible in a small percentage, but I'd say it's pretty unlikely that Sony will release an exclusive Sci -Fi RPG similar to Starfield on ps5.
It is not certain that SMS is making a Sci Fi game. and if so, I would bet that it will be an action adventure game like God of war.
I understand, I guess the rumor mill made me believe that was the case. You're probably right.
I mean I don't mind the exclusivity as long as it's clear in the trailers and messaging. Here it's just fogging up for a few days for the sake of ambiguity / confusion
Yeah completely agree that's why I find it pretty dumb, day one on gamepass is enough, you can announce the others platforms and it doesn't detriment it

They tried to get this as a timed exclusive as per Imran Khan but who knew they would be bought. Bethesda is a traditional RPG studio with decades of experience and have the technology and mechanics in place that they can improve and use it in Starfield like base building for example. It is shaping out to be a gigantic game that surprised me how good it is in that showcase. It would take Sony or any other studio many years to make a game like that starting from nothing.
Yes, but sadly it won't be an RPG.
Ah ok, more specific.
Sure, that's hard enough, Bethesda is a monster when it comes to making great games.
Yeah, the only way I can think of for Sony to launch an exclusive RPG is for them to acquire a studio that specializes in that genre, or commission them to develop an exclusive RPG for their platform.
Obviously we'll still get WRPG games on PS5 like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Baldurs Gate 3, The Witcher etc.... Only they won't be exclusives but multiplatform games and none will be of the size, scope or theme that Starfield is. In that respect, Microsoft has been quite clever in securing Starfield as an exclusive as I think it will take years for a game of the same theme, size and ambition as Starfield to come out.
Yeah, that's literally impossible. Starfield has been in development for almost 10? years. By a studio that is considered one of the best in that specific genre.
A smaller scale RPG could be a possibility, but I don't think so either. If your normal action-rpg already takes 5-7 years of development, imagine a studio creating a true AAA RPG from scratch. That would take them 8+ years as well.
Game development is just too long nowadays. And if your studio doesn't have 500+ developers focused on one project on that scale, then good luck.
I just don't see the issue with a 2 day marketing exclusivity. Seems like such a small issue to get emotional about.
But to each their own.
8 years, Starfield development began in 2015 when they finished development of Fallout 4.
I really want a New Breath Of Fire

I get the idea we'll get a collection before a new game. But that's because I get the feeling a new game is low on their list right now :(
Id take whatever Capcom releases though, when their "worst" game in several years is just the slightly disappointing RE3, then you know they are doing something right. Im excited for Ghost Trick and Exoprimal next (and one day I'll finish MH Rise and hopefully plat SFVI!)
Yeah, I'm trying to pretend that the FOMO isn't hurting, but it's rough.
I don't think it's fair to even attempt to put out a game like Starfield, the sheer scope and size of the game is astonishing. I am hopeful that Ooze is something that can kind of scratch that itch for me. Although not knowing the developer is annoying. I'd love a Outer World's size RPG if that's what they're gunning for. The fact Sony is investing in it through XDEV is encouraging though...as long as Hulst hasn't cancelled it.
Don't get me wrong! I would settle for an outer worlds style exclusive WRPG as the RPG genre is the one that is in short supply on the platform.
Hopefully Ooze will be that game or hopefully any Sony studio will develop an RPG (besides Horizon).
I just want Capcom to finish porting the rest of the Onimusha games, sending out 1 by itself was lame
Nah it's bullshit, and people would be signing a different song if some other company pulled that kind of crap…
It probably is also on Atlus.
Games like Jusant, Star Wars Outlaws and Kunitsu-Gami have already been announced as multiplatform
That might be a factor but I don't think without PS5 it'll be able to achieve any record breaking sale for the studio like Fallout 4.
There was a separate short trailer as well.
I think Sega/Atlus are equally responsible for this messy situation.
Yeah that might be a factor but Fallout 4 had a lot more buzz but maybe it was because of franchise pedigree.
Definitely less people are interested it in now because it's not coming to PS5. Not everyone has a PC or Xbox and PS5 has a sizeable install base, heck PC players don't even purchase/play games if they're not on Steam and it's the same platform for some of the games which are exclusive to other stores.
I didn't watched the full presentation because I knew it was not possible for me to play this game. Yeah it's a shame we won't see an ambitious WRPG on PS5 similar to Starfield.
Who's getting emotional ? It's just a dumb practice that should be called out but yeah it's no big deal, not gonna lose any sleep over that :)
FF16 seems to be getting a lot of good buzz with the demo, hope its boost those pre-orders numbers so SQ can chill a little. Seing how good capcom as been on ps4 and now ps5 gen, I wish Sony betted on them instead of Square. Won't lie FF7R is the only game so far to convince me buy a PS5 though haha
I feel like Sony would have strips torn off it for doing that.
I'm not wild about it because it's nakedly spending money to mislead public perception whereas at least timed exclusivity (already controversial) is a material change in how you get the game.
But mostly I think it just comes off as ... insecure. It makes Microsoft and Xbox look insecure. Real 'rich kid paying a classmate to be his friend for a day' energy.
No blame for devs, tho. If somebody's willing to give you money from their customer acquisition budget, so be it!
Exactly this, if they decided that the money they got was worth not maximising their initial marketing reach, then that's on them 🤷🏻♂️
The funny thing about this is this the conversation that happens in the Xbox community about Sonys times exclusives. Once everybody realize they all in the same boat when it comes to these deals and shit it be a way better time
I'm starting to get quite nervous about the future of DMC.
Now that you've talked about the lack of RPGs in the line of Sony's own games, I'm surprised Sony didn't look for their own RPG studio when Xbox acquired Bethesda and Obsididan, they bought almost every RPG studio most relevant and talented
There are still a few left. What I wonder every day is why Sony doesn't acquire a developer with RPG experience like Larian, Rebel Wolves or Humanoid studios.
Not you, but I've seen other posts getting real angry about this.
FF16 demo is pretty amazing (technical issues aside). Capcom has been great, but I definitely prefer SE. I'd take Final Fantasy over any Capcom IP haha
And SE still releases very experimental games with varying degrees of success, but it's a little more fun, imo.
Yeah same here, together with PS Studios SE is my favorite publisher.
The legacy of the Cell processor in the PS3 still haunting us to this day. They'd have to port it on x86-64 architecture.
Are you on PS3?
It never got ported to PS4/PS5.
Well it did get ported to PC.
Yeah... Sony should buy all SE instead, like the competition does /s
Ah right, I forgot it was also released on PC. I really wish they'd port it to PS4/5 as well, that trilogy is the only one missing from my FF collection now.
I don't have a PlayStation, was just searching the store on the app.
I do own it on PC so I guess I can play it on there it's fine.
Also, I'm finally jumping in, and buying a PS5 on Friday! I've already pre-ordered FFXVI and Alan Wake 2 for it.
I don´t know why but I´m so hyped to go home and play Sackboy and I haven´t even started it lol
I´m going trough one of those phases where gaming feels so good !

Anything I need to get for the PS5? I'm getting an Edge controller as well and a longer charging cable. I think I'm gonna skip the Pulse headset and just use my tv speakers or my Sony XM4 headphones. They're also out of stock with the controller charging station but that's fine as I'm probably gonna play with the Edge wired.
And I assume the first thing to check out on a PS5 is the astrobot demonstration so I get to experience all the controller features?
I want TLOU Part 1 but I'm hoping for a sale sometime this month for the series anniversary.
So excited for Friday!

As well as a 2Tb PS5 compatible SSD with a heatsink.
Edit: Oh and PS Plus Extra I guess too for the library.
Yes, Larian is very good, still, I would not trust studios that have been created recently, like Humanoid or Rebel Wolves, they will have a lot of talent and whatever, but they have to show that they can really make a good game, so that Sony can invest in these new studios and the same thing as Deviation Games does not happen to them
Larian is such a PC-centric studio, it'd be a weird fit for them to develop console game first and foremost with PC ports way down the line. They're really good at what they do, but they don't seem like a good fit for PlayStation to me.
