10 years of hits and still going strong. PS4 will go out with a bang.

PS5 will likely launch with Death Stranding, The Last of Us: Part 2, Ghost of Tsushima and possibly Bluepoint Games new remake. Then holiday 2021 Horizon: Zero Dawn 2. Sony is killing it.

Don't forget God of war! My favourite Sony franchise. Having multiple favourite franchises across different consoles is expensive so I'm glad next gen is cross-platform in case I can't upgrade both :D

solideagle1687d ago

I think HZD 2 should be 2022 it needs as much time as it can get. They need to blow everyone like they did with HZD.
thought of GOW5 on PS5 gives me goose bumps :D

Movefasta19931687d ago

The spark was mgs4, I remember how big that game was for ps3 back then, especially me because it was that one game id use against my xbox friends back when console wars was fun.

JEECE1687d ago

Lol yeah and in the two years before it came out, about every few months there would be an article on here from some low tier site claiming that an insider had leaked an Xbox 360 version of the game, and my Xbox friends would gloat about it (though they naturally never touched Japanese games anyway) and then the article would get debunked a day or two later by Kojima.

Xbox fan: But does the PS3 have Gears of War 2??
PlayStation fan: But does the 360 have Metal Gear Solid 4??

Those were fun times. The 360 may had been ahead, but the PS3 was right on its tail. The 7th generation was one hell of a competition. Now this generation, the PS4 has been stomping both its competitors.

Brazz1687d ago (Edited 1687d ago )

To put it in context.
10 years and 4 times as the most awarded game in the year, uncharted 2, last of us, uncharted 4 and God of War. No publisher has ever actived this level of awards ever, any of these 4 titles got more awards than all xbox studios put together.

God of War was made by Santa Monica.

Brazz1687d ago (Edited 1687d ago )

Yes, i agree GOW was made by santa monica, but Sony Interactive Entertainment is the publisher for these 4 games, 3 made by ND and 1 made by SM, so... what's your point?

AnnaDea1687d ago

Nintendo had a shit ton of games in the 90's that won most game awards of the year several times over. Nintendo was like dominating that part and that's why nes and snes is so well remembered.

Brazz1687d ago (Edited 1687d ago )

Source? Any register of number of game awards won by nintendo on 80's-90's?
Also, to be fair, competition on the 90's was kinda meh... i mean, playstation at infancy, RARE actually making good games, sega consoles, feels like a distant pass, like last century... hey wait minute, it was last century!!

Brazz1687d ago (Edited 1687d ago )

Ok, fine, let's have it your way, so let me rephrase things. " on the current century ( No publisher has ever actived Sony Interactive Entertainment number of awards and any of these 4 titles got more awards than all xbox studios put together." Better know?

Pancit_Canton1687d ago

Not really. Technically, Gran turismo and God of War started their success.

JEECE1687d ago

I definitely agree with you about GT from a numbers perspective (GT3 sold crazy numbers on PS2, especially, but most games in the series have sold well), but it didn't start a culture of sustained first party success in the same way Uncharted 2 arguably did.

Nice. This means over 20million copies have been sold in the last 8 months?? Damn. No wonder the game is never on sale.

Yohshida2649d ago

Got it on PC the day it came out, still like it today

chuckyj12649d ago

@VideoGameLab

I guess someone doesn't believe you? Not sure how you get thumbs down on that comment.

Yohshida2649d ago

TheColbertinator2649d ago
