With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?
You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
Demon's Souls is I guess one of the surprises of 2009. It sold really well considering it was released with little or no hype and if anyone has read players views on Gaf, they will know it's a pretty awesome game.
Not surprised the ps3 isnt scoring too good. All the japanese rpgs and namco games are 360 exclusives. Sony needs to wake up in japan and start funding exclusives like idolmaster and at least 1 square-enix rpg.
While the 360 is by far the lowest selling of the 3 major consoles in Japan, it seems the people who actually do own one are more satisfied with their purchase than the other console owners.
This may be due to lower expectations since the 360 isn't seen in the same light as the PS3 or Wii so it's a pleasant surprise for the few people who take the plunge in a country that's largely ignored it.
I can the reasoning behind the Wii's low satisfaction rating however - the lack of substantial games is a big issue at the moment that hopefully games such as MadWorld will start to fix.
while the 360 only cost 140$ Canadian in Japan but the wii and ps3 are more expensive than they are here.
I did not see that coming !
