GamesRadar - The PlayStation 3 was the console for exclusives this generation, and that's a trend Sony appears to be attempting to continue with the upcoming PlayStation 4. It's already lined up a suite of awesome-looking AAA games from first and third-party developers, ensuring that there are experiences you can only get on the PS4.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.
Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.
Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.
When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.
The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.
If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.
We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.
I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.
Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.
Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.
Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
I'll put my money on Second Son.
Second Son. I just love how much Sucked Punch have grown as a developer. I see them becoming like Naughty Dog. Where quality is present in anything they announce.
Uncharted 4
the Last Guardian
The Agent
... are the obvious choices, but I'm going to plump for a rank outsider and say Second Son. It has sleeper hit written all over it.
... yes, I'm kidding.
(That should confuse everyone)
As of now Infamous:SS but we really havent seen much, Sony has unveiled 5 of their 20 games that would come out in year 1.
You can bet that the next Naughty Dog game will be unveiled at the VGA's its almost tradition. Santa Monica studio's seems to be about ready to show off their new IP if we go by the tweets of the voice actress. There is just too much we dont know yet to think about best game of the first year.
While everybody is saying Second Son(Big fan of Infamous Series), I'm going to take a huge breath and say The Order: 1886. I just have this feeling that it will be an instant classic with its life like graphics and gameplay. It would be interesting to see how Ready At Dawn use that seamless experience were players; will never see any difference between the cutscene and gameplay, which is very good. Too many cgi cutscenes in the past were better than the actual game.I see a possible coop multiplayer in the game, based on the trailer too.
