Sony Releases New PS4 Commercial, Encourages You to “Play the Best Games on PS4″

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe released today a new commercial for the PS4, titled “Play the Best Games on PS4.”

[AizenSosuke]

Cool commercial!

[Gazondaily]

The only exclusive in the ad is a remaster. Why not show Until Dawn? I know its more a AA title as opposed to AAA but I think it deserves more exposure, based on what my mates have said about the game.

[AizenSosuke]

Ok thanks!

[gangsta_red]

Seriously! Until Dawn should have been right in there.

Does Sony not believe in that title enough to showcase it right next to the likes of COD, Uncharted and AC?

Because I would take Until Dawn over any of the games (besides MGS) shown in the video.

[madmonkey01]

i agree untill dawn deserves more marketing, but games like that usually have long life through word of mouth.

[S2Killinit]

Some people are complaining about the selection of games in an ad? Criticising that "Sony doesnt believe in such and such game" while injecting little snide remarks like "i know its not a AAA" lol come on guys, are you running out of ideas?

You guys have moved the goal posts so many times we dont even know where the goals ARE at this point.

[gangsta_red]

@S2
"You guys have moved the goal posts so many times we dont even know where the goals ARE at this point."

Interesting...a lot of us are saying that Until Dawn deserves to be in that commercial because it's a great game and we're now moving goal posts...lol, I guess.

[S2Killinit]

@gangsterred
First, who is "you" exactly? Secondly, who are "a lot of you"? Thirdly, you and septic were not praising until dawn, you wrre criticising Sony for "not believing in until dawn" and septic was claiming that Unti Dawn is only a "AA". Which is interesting because i dont know WHO makes that decision. I mean, is it the budget? Is it how big the advertising budget was? Or is it the graphics? Or how big the publishing company is? What makes a game AAA exactly? Or better yet maybe its got to be a big name sequel? Maybe thats what makes Until Dawn less than AAA? But to be honest with you, i think the reason why Until Dawn is only AA is so that xbox fanboys can then claim that there are no AAAs on PS4. Thats why the goal posts are nowhere to be found.

[Gazondaily]

@S2

Why didn't Sony pad out the advert with games that people like to add like Mlb, Tales and some other stuff?

They showed off ONE exclusive which is a remaster. Mate that's WEAK.

There is DEFINITELY a point to make that third party titles run best on the PS4 on consoles. That is a strong point and no one should downplay that. But in terms of exclusives worth talking about, well even Sony's own exec said it was lacking.

But this is the last year we get a boring lineup on PS4 I reckon. Next year is a guaranteed beastage and thereafter the momentum should continue

[cannon8800]

@ Septic

"on ps4" doesn't imply that those games have to be exclusives. It means that they want the ps4 to be the console of choice to play those games. That's the message that I thought they were trying to convey to the audience.

[81BX]

I agree until dawn should be in there. Im sure they'll include it in a holiday add.

[gangsta_red]

@S2

"Thirdly, you and septic were not praising until dawn"

Septic - I think it deserves more exposure, based on what my mates have said about the game.

Red - I would take Until Dawn over any of the games (besides MGS) shown in the video.

Red - I can honestly say Bloodborne, Axiom Verge and Until Dawn are excellent games for the system..

Just a few of the many praises on this article for Until Dawn.
And I have a better question that I and others are asking or wondering and you seem to be avoiding...

Why didn't Sony put Until Dawn in this commercial? A great game that does deserve more exposure and does deserve to be right there next to CoD and the Uncharted Collection.

"i think the reason why Until Dawn is only AA is so that xbox fanboys..."

So basically you want to turn this into a Xbox vs PS fanboy riot fest that has absolutely nothing to do with moving goal posts at all.

Sony could have had a much better commercial showcasing a lot more of their exclusives but somehow all you got out of the comments made were "xbox fanboys moving goal posts".

[Why o why]

You all have valid points... thanks for the read

[S2Killinit]

@ Septic
Septic: "Why didn't Sony pad out the advert with games that people like to add like Mlb, Tales and some other stuff? They showed off ONE exclusive which is a remaster. Mate that's WEAK."

Well, maybe they have too many exclusives to put all of them into one ad. maybe they know better than you or me about what best interests people. or maybe, just maybe, these games happened to be the ones chosen? or better yet, maybe this is just the commercial you saw, and there is another one filled with all the other exclusives? why do you assume the world revolves around your perception?

Septic: "But this is the last year we get a boring lineup on PS4 I reckon. Next year is a guaranteed beastage and thereafter the momentum should continue"

Unfortunately for you, ever since the xbone announced the halo/forza/tombraider "best line up ever", 2/1/2 months have passed during which, the PS4 has had more exclusives. I believe even during the month of halos' release, PS4 will have a wider variety of exclusives. So, the question becomes, "boring" compared to what? if you mean xbone's line up is more exciting, well, I hope halo will do it for you until the holidays of 2016. But please don't act as if "holiday line up" consists of this vague time frame that started with the announcement of xbone's "best line up" ever, and will continue until the end of the year. PS4's exclusive line up is much more exciting to me, just FYI. I personally will take Shenmue next year, and Dragon Quest over everything released by Xbox since its inception (and yes that's including halo and forza, and you can throw in halo 6 for good measure)

@Gansterred
Do you see how people down voted your comments? why do you think that is? maybe you should read your comment more carefully. I'm not the one turning this into a "fanboy riot fest", its your comments. I'm just pointing you out. You don't believe me? listen to what Septic is saying over here with his 30something disagrees.

[Gazondaily]

@S2

"Well, maybe they have too many exclusives to put all of them into one ad"

Lol yeah so many exclusives they didn't put any of them in the ad. Right. Not one.

Why did Sony say their lineup was bare? Where they wrong? Ah you guys know better

" maybe they know better than you or me about what best interests people."

Oh no wait they know better. Oh so the likes of MLB the show and tales Falafel aren't as interesting as these titles? Not worthy of an appearance on the ad? Hmmm.

"
listen to what Septic is saying over here with his 30something disagrees."

Lol what? Surely you must realise that this site is a Sony hive. The disagrees come pouring from all corners if you dare say anything bad about Sony or even dare to be critical.

Well let's agree to disagree. Sony and I seem to have similar tastes in sharing what we think are games worth advertising (minus Until Dawn).

[ninsigma]

You know, you might get less disagrees (not that they matter) if you didn't twist things to suit yourself. Sony never said their line up was bare, you know they didn't yet you keep insisting they did. What they did say is that the first party line up (which is games owned by Sony and developed in house) is sparse. And this is true. Ps has tearaway unfolded and uc collection for first party games this autumn. Actually they have bloodborne expansion as well which was announced yesterday, then there's the third party and multi-plats too. In fact as far as I'm aware (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I could be), the only first party ms has is forza and halo. So it's looking as if xbox is as sparse as ps in that department. The difference is ms didn't say so, instead they fluffed up their exclusive lineup to look better than it is (which is probably the better strategy even though house' statement was for investors and not us).

[OB1Biker]

Wow guys it's only one commercial showing a few games. There will be many others and they can t possibly show so many PS4 games in just one commercial.
Sceptic we know you stated many times you think BloodBorne is the only 'decent' (whatever that means) exclusive on PS4 which is telling much about your bias so you shouldn't be that much concerned about which exclusives they should show in a commercial.

[WillyC009]

@Septic

Pretty ironic to watch Xbox supporters try to comment on another consoles exclusivity lineup considering Xbox has never had a remotely substantive/robust lineup in their existence. Keep preaching though.

[CYCLEGAMER]

I keep trying to tell you guys but I get slammed for saying it but IT IS RIGHT THERE IN YOUR FACES. Yoshida has even come out and said it in multiple interviews. He has basically said that their focus is not big AAA games, they have become too expensive, and not worth the return of investment.

Sony and MS have switched marketing strategies this gen. Last gen, MS was focused more on advertising multiplat games like COD as their own and catering to the masses, with a sprinkle of exlcusives. The ps3 was heavly focused on providing more, big AAA exclusives, and did less marketing of multiplat's. This gen those roles have reversed.

It is now proven, what strategy works best, even though I agree with the latter. Sony's focus on big AAA was awesome and I probably would have been considered a Sony fanboy last gen. This gen, I am more in favor of what MS is doing with their games lineup as it caters more to the type of gamer I am, just as sonys did last gen.

[Christopher]

Because they wanted to only highlight the best games, Septic, and that means your big shooters, annual releases, and maybe one exclusive. You can't be trying to sell people your artsy-fartsy horror games. C'mon!

Very underwhelming commercial, to be honest.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Sorry but besides The Nathan Drake Collection you can get all those games on X1 or PC. The commercial isn't that impressive. Until Dawn should of at least replaced Just Cause in the commercial.

Star Wars Battlefront or Hitman wasn't in there but again you can grab those two games on either X1 or PC.

If you like that's fine and I respect your opinion to death but imo its pretty disappointing.

[Eonjay]

You see its really simple. The best games aren't exclusive.

[christian hour]

"You see its really simple. The best games aren't exclusive."

You're right, The Last of Us was the WORST game -_-

Don't even get me started on how bad halo 2 was, totally ruined my 2004 -_-

SURPRISE! SARCAAASM!

[MysticStrummer]

There's no doubt that mainly multi plats will be the biggest sellers and that more copies will be bought and played on PS4. On top of that, PS4 will still have more exclusive games even after XB1's fall releases.

@Lito - That goes both ways. Last gen, smaller performance differences were big talking points for 360 fans on here. This gen, bigger differences have been downplayed. I knew last gen that 360 was performing better with multi plats but it didn't make me want one because I prefer PS exclusives. XB1 fans should feel the same if they love their exclusives, but that doesn't stop a new buyer (there are new gamers all the time) from buying the console that performs better with multi plats. Most games are multi plats after all.

[Automatic79]

@AngelicIce I notice gamers tend to flip flop or move goal post to what ever suites there agenda. Its been done so many times that sitting there and telling them multplatform games are on every system is a waist of time. The new goal post is that multiplats play better on there system of choice compared to another competing system when you and I know they play the same. Truth is its a great time to be a gamer lets enjoy the games. Game on your system of choice and enjoy the good times ahead.

[Why o why]

The new goalpost us multies play better on their system.......

What a load of crap...

Whats worst than a goalpost mover.....one that does it with blinkers on. I guess you didnt notice any of the lot or df comparison articles last gen......i think their purpose was to determine the superiority of multiplats which was celebrated by the victors so......who's moving the goalposts again because its far from 'new'

Another thing you've left out is that both multies and exclusives have been celebrated not just multies. We know it bugs the guys who downplay multiplats now but you reap what you sow. Whats was good for the goose is good for the gander.

[rainslacker]

Don't think it was encouraging people to play PS exclusives on the PS4, just the best games on the PS4. What's it matter if it's multi-plat in this case? Does that somehow negate Sony trying to get people to play the games on their platform, and does it mean that because it's available on the X1, that it's now not worth playing on the PS4? Sony makes money off these games if people play them on the PS4, so there ya go.

I'll be sure to write to Sony and suggest they say that people should play those games on the Xbox One instead. That seems much more reasonable because...well one of you Xbox fans will have to explain that one to me.

[_-EDMIX-_]

? Who do you think its trying to impress? Fanboys? They are targeting all gamers, the reality is....those games are selling better on PS4, PS4 is selling better then both XONE and Wii U sometimes combined.

The reality is...when those games play better on PS4, sell better on PS4, they very much can market anything to sell PS4. I'm pretty sure many 3rd parties make deals to get those games shown during Sony events, Sony isn't just going to advertise other publishers games for free.

Some thing is clearly in it for them, they get to sell PS on that concept of games.

If you don't own a current gen system, those games to you are still new, they are still not able to be played by you, thus it still markets PS4.

Consider MGSV sold better on PS4. Do you think it matters that its on XONE? I mean....if PS4 sold better because that game, the game sold MORE units on PS4......ask yourself just how much that really hurt Sony?

They don't care. They care about making money and selling systems.

So yes, showing AC, Call Of Duty etc will get PS sold even if those titles are on XONE.

They are not better on XONE, they are not selling better then XONE and PS4 is outselling that platform.

Sony is making sure you see those games on PS4 and know its the "best" place to game. They'll be fine.

You can get Star Wars on PC, you can get Hitman on XONE etc

.......so. The reality is, when they play better else where (or have a history of it) they will likely sell PS4's before they sell XONEs. Eonjay states it best, "The best games aren't exclusive" and I actually agree with him.

Most of the titles I get during a gen and love a lot are not really exclusive, some are, but my library is filled with multi platform games.

Sony is not just selling PS4s on Sony titles..they are selling that most of your titles you play, will play the best on PS4. Its not just about buying PS4 to play Sony titles....it might just be to play the best version of that title.

[lvl_headed_gmr]

Hmmm...the only thing I took away from that trailer was that the PS4 is the best place to play last gen games....4 of the 5 games were multiplats.

4 the players...hmmmmm

[fattyuk]

you missed the point, one of the biggest points in that commercial

call of duty dlc first!!

for years the kids have wanted xboxs for cod/early map packs

this year it changes.

that wasnt an advertisement for playstation fanboys, that was an advertisement to the younger generation of gamers - who are gonna ask there parents for a certain console at xmas

[lvl_headed_gmr]

Hmmm...Well it doesn't appear that PS4 CoD DLC first is holding any significant advantage....CoD appears to have a higher pre-order on MS consoles vs. Sony consoles dispite Sony having 25 million console sales.

So again, the only thing I walked away with from that trailer is the PS4 is the best place to play last gen games since there is nothing about the other multiplats shown that would indicate PS4 is the best place to play.

[fattyuk]

lol this is the sort of advertisement that will nail it on the head with kids before xmas!

call of duty dlc first?
asssassins creed exclusive content?

all they needed was a fifa segment and that would of been great.

do people ever understand that not all advertisements are aimed as US LOT - you know grown ups who spend there time acting like children on the internet.

[rainslacker]

Most of them don't realize that the vast majority of TV/social media commercials aren't aimed at us. We already know everything long before the bulk of the marketing money gets spent and we are cheap to advertise to, so why bother since we already know what we're going to buy for the most part.

[SaveFerris]

Showcasing the heavy hitters (multi-platforms and an exclusive).

[SaveFerris]

Judging from the disagrees I guess some people feel the titles in the commercial are unpopular and will not sell much.

[Army_of_Darkness]

When it comes to multiplats, It is the best place to play. Exclusives are the added whipped cream on the funnel cake :-)

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Judging from the disagrees you can grab those heavy hitters on X1 and PC besides Uncharted of course. Its just interesting to see everyone hype Multiplats like they're exclusives now.

And I think that's why ppl are disagreeing.

[MysticStrummer]

@Angelic - The comment they're disagreeing with says it's mostly multi plats, so how would your theory make any sense?

[_-EDMIX-_]

@Angelic- "Its just interesting to see everyone hype Multiplats like they're exclusives now. "

Nope.

because its a fanboy war concept.

Business wise, why should they ignore 3rd parties? Those titles sell more units then exclusives do. Many, many 3rd party games will do better then in house exclusives.

So this idea that someone is "hyping" multiplats up like they are exclusive makes no sense.

No one is saying they are anything like exclusives and why does it matter? Who stated that they NEEDED to ONLY show first party games? OH you mean the ones with smaller marketing budgets and the ones that sell the least units? Really?

[yarbie1000]

Metal Gear, Assassins Creed, Destiny, Call of Duty, and Nathan Drake

[Rookie_Monster]

All decent titles for PS4 owners to play this Fall.

I think we get these claims on both camps every year as seen from last Fall as well.

http://n4g.com/news/1566898...
Xbox Is the "Best Place to Play" this Holiday, Microsoft Says

Where MS talked about their Fall exclusives are the key with Sunset Overdrive, Halo MCC, and Forza Horizon 2 and exclusive timed content for COD for "best place to play in the Fall".

http://n4g.com/news/1625829...
PS4 vs Xbox One: Sony claims their console is “the best place to play this holiday”

Where Sony talked about Superior third party ports and exclusives like LBP3 and Driveclub and exclusive timed content for Destiny for their case for "best place to play in the Fall".

This Fall is no different as MS is boosting their case for bigger AAA exclusives, BC, and promising future tech like DX12, Windows 10 integration, and Cloud compute for their case while Sony is once again boosting Superior third party ports, exclusive like Uncharted Collection, future tech like PS VR, and sales to boost their case.

It is ultimately up to the gamers to decide what they considered best place to play. Better third party ports, true BC, controller and network preferences, better Fall exclusives in their opinion are just a few examples. Regardless, both consoles are great places for gamers to play this holidays. Happy gaming regardless of which console or consoles you are supporting.

[Tobsesan]

Every GAMER can see which console offers the better lineup this fall.

[Rookie_Monster]

Tobsesan,

No doubt to the majority, Halo 5, Forza 6 and Tomb Raider are hard to beat and most considered XB1 to have the better lineup this Fall. Having said that, there are a select few gamers here I see here that love nothing but niche Jap titles like DQ heroes, Persona 5, disgaea 5 and those are Fall releases as well so to them, maybe those games will put it over the top for them. I am just keeping that in mind and be objective about it.

[MysticStrummer]

@Tobsesan - Every GAMER should know that not everyone enjoys the same games, so either console could honestly be said to have the better lineup.

[Automatic79]

@Rookie Well said

[rainslacker]

It's all subjective my friend. This whole back and forth is rather meaningless to the average console gamer who's getting a console this xmas because they will probably already know what they want, and to the younger set, marketing is going to be what makes up their mind...or their friends choices in console will do that.

I mentioned that the same things were being said last year by MS, and it did them no good except for one November. I have a feeling that this whole constant mention by MS that it has the best holiday line up is them just repeating something enough times that they hope it will actually influence those waiting for presents to ask for an X1 instead of a PS4.

I don't begrudge MS for what they're saying...it's their job after all, but the bickering on forums has gotten old long ago, and I think too many people have tried to over rationalize what MS has said, and over estimate it's actual effect. I also believe that they completely disregard the partnerships that Sony has made for this holiday with AC, COD, and most importantly SW:BF which is going to be huge this holiday with the new movie coming out.

I think on the Sony side, people discount how much of an effect Halo will have, are pretty spot on that Forza isn't a system seller, and are marginally underestimating that a TR exclusive deal may be a good push for MS...mostly because the uninformed will have no idea that it's only timed.

However, the biggest catalyst will be what type of games people are interested in. For the most part, each system would have you covered on any genre, with MS having a slight edge in the popularity of Halo, but Sony having an edge with marketing rights to SW:BF which will feature prominently this holiday.

Games will be on display left and right this holiday, and it's going to be that way because MS has pushed this whole, "Best Holiday Lineup" all year, so Sony obviously will reciprocate to the contrary.

I think for the general mass of consumers, it's going to come down to a game or two, and not all those other things you mention at the end of your comment. None of that other stuff is marketed much outside the hardcore gaming venues such as N4G.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

@Rookie_monster "No doubt to the majority"
"Be objective about it"
Since we are being objective here do you mind providing evidence that Xboxs fall line up is superior in the eyes of the "majority"?

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

Good season for PS4. Tons of games to play. Can hardly complain

[OB1Biker]

Wow so many trolls on this page. Yea I m the one who agreed there r tons of games to play this season. And the multiplat are well known to be marketed by playstation but people act as if they are surprised here.

[Gazondaily]

No one's surprised. But when one company constantly got lambasted for doing the same thing here, its time to call the hypocrites out. (it exists on both ends)

Exclusives don't matter anymore it seems. Hmmmm.

[OB1Biker]

Haha sceptic. Who are you calling hypocrite then?

[MasterCornholio]

Pretty much. Theres plenty coming to the PS4 whether multiplat or exclusive. As a PS4 owner im quite happy with the lineup.

[Yetter]

So literally all multiplats and one remaster. For someone who already has an XB1 and PS3 can someone please give me a reason to want this console??

[Cohagen420]

Until Dawn come out last month, and Bloodborne, Rocket League, MLB 15: the show, Axiom Verge, etc came out earlier in the year. I'am not even counting the better looking/performing 3rd party titles that were released.

[Yetter]

Yeah I love Axiom Verge and Rocket League, but I've been playing them on my PC.

[SmokingMonkey]

Naughty Dog
PSVR
Dreams
Horizon
SharePlay

..etc...

If you don't want one, then don't buy it. It would be sad if you were here to try and convince others not to buy a PS4.

[Yetter]

Not my intention at all but I certainly understand why you would get that impression on N4G

[OB1Biker]

Well you got to find your own reason. It's your own problem whether you have a reason or not. For me it was Infamous SS a while ago that triggered the when rather than the why. It could be BloodBorne for others.

[jb227]

I'd say you should look at the full lineup instead of assuming they'd be able to cram every game they already have on offer & every other one upcoming in a minute long commercial. There are plenty of games to be had but it's all according to your tastes. If you like a unique variety of experiences then the PS4 is absolutely the best bet for now. Maybe 2016 changes that but I'm not seeing it yet.

[Kalebninja]

If you keep up with news playstation has been announcing exclusives consistently all year. They even dropped some bombs last night with their TGS-Pre show. Besides TGS this week they still have their own event in December to announce even more exclusives. This trailer was made for a general audience to show them playstation has the games Xbox does but with even more content first.

[gangsta_red]

Both consoles have their gems. Two years in and you would think there would be more...but for PS4 I can honestly say Bloodborne, Axiom Verge and Until Dawn are excellent games for the system if you plan on getting one sometime soon.

Other than that it's really your own personal tastes when it comes down to the games.

But I do like these type of commercials it seems MS and Sony have the same Marketing PR firm working for them.

[leogets]

Better resolution.controller and exclusives der

[S2Killinit]

@yetter
well how about the fact that there are literally over twice as many exclusives on it?

[Baltimoron27]

If you don't want it dont buy it. Simple as that. If you need someone to sell you a PS4 google has all the info you need.

[Spotie]

The same reasons that have been there all year, and last year, and will be there next year and the year after.

The damn games.

I really HATE when Xbox fans act like there's nothing on the PS4 worth playing and ask stupid questions like that.

You're on the internet, Yetter. You're on a gaming website, no less. Yet you ask that question like you're sending out snail mail from a mountainside in Afghanistan.

If you can't find reasons on this vast resource called the world wide web, then you probably don't want a PS4(not that I think you want one, anyway).

Edit: What point does he have, Septic? The commercial isn't for people like us- gamers in the know- in the first place. It's for the less informed, the ones that aren't gonna make a thousand comments or ten thousand comments or spend five years as a member of a gaming news website.

The commercial is for the average person out there looking to get a console. The average person isn't gonna be as into the smaller titles; those come after the bait of the big franchises has reeled them in. (And it's a Europe commercial, so why would they advertise The Show? Seems like you do that intentionally, like when you claimed nobody you knew cared about the show as if you weren't in the UK, where nobody cares about US baseball teams to begin with.)

"...Sony's exec came out and admitted that the holiday lineup for this year was lacking."

No, Andrew House did not. That's what folks like you have twisted his words into. "“Our first-party line-up is a little sparse this year" are his exact words. Not holiday lineup, not exclusives. And, that said, the phrase is relative. Is it sparse as opposed to the competition? As opposed to the third party games? As opposed to last year, or a typical year of first party output?

I mean, The Show counts, but does Bloodborne, which they co-developed? Does Until Dawn? Does The Order? Quite a few games aren't so clear in their status, in that regard.

PS Europe put the largest titles in the commercial, because those will be the biggest draw to the average consumer. Europe isn't known for heavily supporting Persona or Disgaea, so why advertise those?

Will Microsoft be advertising Ori for this holiday? It's a great game, right, so why not?

Cuz it wouldn't generate a big enough pull in an ad. You use the biggest franchises for that, right?

[Gazondaily]

He's got a good point though. The way people have been shouting 'for the players' from the rooftops for the true gamer's console and the so called media box has done a better job in delivering the heavy hitting games.

I mean lets be honest, even Sony's exec came out and admitted that the holiday lineup for this year was lacking. So why do you lot act like a glorified PR team go out of your way to question anyone who critiquing what is a pretty meh 2015 for a lot of people on PS4?

Sony only showed one exclusive in that trailer. Why didn't they pad their ad like you guys do with mlb the show and tales of falafel etc

[magiciandude]

After looking at all the PS4 games for 2013, 2014, and 2015, there's only one really good game. As a launch PS4 owner and former Sony fanboy, I am glad I bought another console and that console is taking care of my gaming needs much better. The lower resolutions is just a small price to pay, but I've gained a lot of features like backward compatibility, better online gaming, and more AAA games that are worth playing.

The Wii had more games than PS3 and Xbox 360. Too bad only a small handful of them or so are not shovelware.

[jb227]

@septic

Look at the full picture, how is it that XBO has somehow done a better job in delivering heavy hitters based off of a single holiday season. If you look in terms of this year MS has Halo & Forza. The rest are remasters, indies (nothing wrong with those but I'd say few would argue at this point that XBO has a better indie lineup on the whole) or timed exclusives. Grand scheme MS released Halo, Sony released Bloodborne. Sony also released Until Dawn and a healthy handful of worthwhile titles. Maybe we should wait for these games during the holidays to actually drop before considering them proven quality experiences. Look at Until Dawn, most would've considered that a lukewarm time waster, but it is getting an amazing reception. If we are basing the idea of a "heavy hitter" off of actual reception from gamers in things like Metacritic & not basing them off a promise of quality from being new entries in popular franchises, then Sony has done pretty well for themselves & gamers I'd say. "The Players" all seem to unanimously agree that Until Dawn & Bloodborne were heavy hitters. This "meh year for a lot of people" sure doesn't seem to be a reality for those of us who are actually playing these titles, seems to only be "meh" for people who haven't, or those with some kind of agenda.

Sony didn't "pad their ad" because they had no reason to. MS had to showcase their whole lineup in their commercial in order to back up that lofty "Best Xbox Lineup of All Time" claim. If Sony did the same I'd say you'd find a hard time finding your common criticisms, and there's no amount of ad space in existence during commercial breaks to contain all of them. Sony are letting their actual games do the talking as opposed to throwing out enormous amounts of hype for everything they announce. I think a lot of people will be eating crow when these actual titles release & they don't measure up to the "meh" of Bloodborne & Until. Dawn. The future of gaming rests with titles like those, not the 10th entry of a franchise that has spread across 3 console generations & the full breadth of Microsofts console history.

[Yetter]

This is Sonys commercial promoting Sonys console and apparently they think the best games they have to offer this holiday are the multiplats and one remaster, frankly I agree, but as a gamer whose been playing every console since the original Nintendo, I've been waiting for quite some time for a reason to justify a PS4 purchase. As of now it seems I'm still gonna have to wait for Horizon and even that I'll have to wait for reviews because I don't care for any of that studios previous work.

Yes Bloodborne looks great, but I've never enjoyed souls games and even if Bloodborne is significantly better than DS and DS2, I'm not buying a console for it.

More games to play in general and more exclusives, but if you don't want that it's cool. As someone who owns a PS3, Vita, and PS4 I have no need for another platform. I look at the fall releases for both current consoles and I see more on PS4 that I'd personally want. You feel the same about XB1. That's the way it goes.

After today's Tokyo Game Show it's just another confirmation about their effort to bring the best games to PS4. Can't wait for the Gravity Rush sequel and Hot Shots. Hopefully Yakuza remake and the others come to the west quickly. Star Ocean 5 looks sweet as well.

those game is going keep xbox not to surpass them in na. forget worldwide sony smack them...

[Imalwaysright]

Why not Persona 5? Can't think of a better PS game in the holidays than it.

[Eiyuuou]

Just a few more days... The hype is real!

[contradictory]

hell yeah! also the first PS4 game so far i actually care enough to probably get PS4 for.

[corroios]

Those are the games that will sell more this here and Sony got a deal with everysingle one of them.

MGS V sold like an exclusive and the rest will go the same path.

Nice ill be playing my games on Sony products. At the end of the day no matter how big people say a game is if you don't like it then its not a buying point for you.

They could have thrown in Tearaway and Until Dawn but as usual Sony neglects their smaller IPs. It really is a shame how they don't try to grow their smaller franchises.

[DragonDDark]

I think they are marketing the upcoming games.

[DragonDDark]

This fall. I am not even buying Uncharted collection.
Multiplats are awesome this fall.
Fallout
BO3
AC:S
Etc.

[mEATgrinder]

Except when its a racing game because Forza 6 is simply sublime

[CuddlyREDRUM]

Looking at the JPEG it is asking you to play the best games on PS3.

[zarbor]

Should say: "This is for the players..who don't know any better."

The best games and a remastered PS3 game is the only exclusives? Really Sony? Those are the best games? That's seems a bit desperate. It would have been better to say "The best version of games" but this Holiday, my PS4 will get Star Wars and that's about it.

[Giru017]

This commercial lacks Until Dawn and Bloodborne as well as Axiom Verge.

Sony is so mainstream now, it's like the Iphone of consoles :D
