About a decade ago, during the PlayStation One era, Sony got solid support for the system. Many franchises like Metal Gear Solid were born on the original PlayStation. This trend continued during the PlayStation 2 era where again several publishers like Square Enix, Capcom and Konami released a ton of third party exclusive games on the system.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
I don't care anymore to michael pachter's predictions !
So I guess this means the opposite then. The PS4 will have plenty of third-party exclusives! Thank you Patcher for turning fate around.
This Gen 3rd Party exclusives were almost dead with a few exceptions...
This guy is a genius.
Well 3rd party exclusives were effectively killed last gen anyhow. Development costs are just too expensive to not recoup by publishing on multiple platforms. I do expect that we'll still see more Eastern-centric games on Sony and Nintendo's platforms though; especially the handhelds. MS showed their interest in Japanese games and that was only to keep them out of Sony's hands for as long as possible. As a result I think that MS will have a hard time courting niche or JRPG publishers - SE, Capcom, etc. aside - next gen.
Watch him be completely wrong & then suddenly change his mind & everyone forget that he got it wrong..... again!
