This is what it really comes down to, now that the hardware specs for both consoles are revealed and both consoles being very similar, in fact this will be smallest differences we’ve seen in all generations, both consoles will be EPIC!! Very powerful and remind me of when Xbox 360 & PS3 came out and how powerful they were.

Now to get to the games, I feel like Sony will be DESTROYING Xbox in this regard!!

I mean will Microsoft have something as big as Sony’s Horizon Zero Dawn 2 or God of War 2 or Naughty Dog’s new HUGE IP that’s been rumored for a long time?

Because I’m gonna tell you guys right now, when Sony shows Horizon 2 I don’t think anything from Microsoft will come close, the amounts of work, dedication, budget, money and time that Sony puts in their games is just UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Another thing that’s concerning me is Xbox Game Pass, I don’t think releasing HUGE new AAA Single-player IPs from Microsoft day 1 on Game Pass will be the thing, I mean we now have The Initiative (supposedly their biggest and most promising team) saying that they’re “going agile and building smaller-type games” and Matt Booty saying that they’re not targeting for AAA gaming in the future with XSX, instead, they’ll be making “unique AA games” and that’s concerning me.

All in all, I think Sony will kill it and I hope Microsoft does that too, we’ve been hearing empty promises from them since 2016 and all we got were Game Pass fodder like Zoo Tycoon, Sea of Thieves, Grounded, State of Decay 2 etc etc...

I want to hear your guys’ opinions.

 

[FranXico]

I don't have an opinion until I hear official next-gen game announcements.

 

[LED Guy?]

I don't have an opinion until I hear official next-gen game announcements.

Fair point!

 

[Wandering Leopard]

I don't think devs necessarily need a AAA budget to make a really good game, but I think AAA games can generate more sales because they are easier sell/advertise/hype.

Interestingly MS have been talking up Halo infinite as a AAAA title, whatever a AAAA title is, I see it as just inviting unnecessary pressure.

 

[clarky]

Awesome

 

[VFXVeteran]

There is no doubt that Sony has the better exclusives and by a large factor. However, for my own personal tastes, I'll take Hellblade 2's universe over any other franchise that Sony is doing. But that's just because I like sword/shield medival themed games. But I also like space games and so there is a chance that a particular Sony exclusive will tickle me.

MS may have more up their sleeve though..

 

[Yoshi]

They have bought a bunch of studios in the run up to XSX, I think their line up will be fine. Will I like it? Probably not, but neither do I like the majority of Sony's first party offerings.

I mean, Microsoft called Crackdown 3 a AAA game after all.

 

[Deleted member 775630]

When it comes to launch titles and the first year. Microsoft will have the better games. Afterwards we'll have to see what all the studios will bring forward.

 

[New Yorks Finest]

I don't have an opinion until I hear official next-gen game announcements.

Thread..period. We not even Jun E3 anymore ( pointing that out to OP)

 

[M1chl]

I mean, Microsoft called Crackdown 3 a AAA game after all.

Based on time in development it's probably game with AAA budget tho, badly used, but still....

 

[John254]

Lol
It's funny, how some Sony fans are claiming, that Xbox fanboys are "spreading FUD" about PS5, when they are doing the same. Booty quote about "not making AAA games" is taken out of context, but i see, that for some people here it is enough to take it and run with it.

Also, it is "great" how some of you are trying to spin Xbox Game Pass 1st party stuff as huge negative, when Game Pass is probably best deal in gaming right now. But whatever

For me, having 1st party games on GamePass Day 1 is primary reason why i will probably end up with XsX over PS5. Yes, PS5 has PS Now and they also have 1st party games there sometimes, but playing Outer Worlds, Gears 5, Forza Horizon 4 and other games for 14,99 per month is better, than paying same amount to Sony without 1st party games.

Also. 1st party output is entirely subjective thing. Yes, I agree, that Sony WWS have more acclaimed games with better metacritic and better sales, but i'm more excited about Gears Tactics than i will ever be about Horizon 2, because Tactics is something fresh. And Horizon? Looks great, art and graphic is gorgeous, but it is same bloated "Ubisoft style" open world that i hate with passion. And i don't expect that to change even with new horsepower from PS5.

And to claim "Microsoft won't make AAA games" when everybody knows that Halo Infinite, Gears 6, FH5, big Obsidian RPG, Fable reboot, new big inXile RPG and Hellblade 2 is coming is just insane. But as i said...whatever

 

[mejin]

Sony will shine like always and MS can't be any worse. So, I have a good feeling for next gen.

 

[TBiddy]

All in all, I think Sony will kill it and I hope Microsoft does that too, we’ve been hearing empty promises from them since 2016 and all we got were Game Pass fodder like Zoo Tycoon, Sea of Thieves, Grounded, State of Decay 2 etc etc...

I want to hear your guys’ opinions.

Yes, all games since 2016 have been "Game Pass fodder", including that game which isn't even released yet. And of course, both Forza Horizon 4 and FM7 are rubbish that belongs in Game Pass only. And Gears 5? Pffft. And don't even get me started on Ori.

That said, I agree that Microsoft need to up their game.

 

[Hendrick's]

I think MS is going to come hard this gen with 1st party. It's starts with Halo, and only goes up from there. Sure, they will have some smaller AA titles, but I have no doubt the big guns are coming.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Can’t put Horizon Zero Dawn in the same sentence as god of war...

 

[ZywyPL]

My guess:

Sony will continue to focus mostly on plot and storytelling, a.k.a. cinematic SP experience, probably sticking with 30FPS (hopefully not).
MS will continue to focus on gameplay and MP, pushing 60 or even 120FPS.

Whether any of those games will be good or bad will depend on the game by game case, as always.

My biggest concern tho regarding 1st party titles is when those games will actually arrive (aside from the launch lineup) - historically, it took about 3 years until the big 1st party games started to pop up, meaning that until half-late 2023 we will be getting mostly 3rd party cross-gens, indie ports, enhanced/remastered editions, and so on.

 

[Okami Haundo]

I'm cautiously optimistic about what we'll get from Microsoft's new studios. I think there's a good chance we'll get solid A-AA games with creative premises. This seems really promising to me.

We know that Sony will give us AAA narrative-focused games, and that will definitely be a good selling point! For me personally, I love narrative games but have been disappointed by their length in recent years. Death Stranding should have been right up my alley, but I didn't have 60+ hours to devote to just that one game.

So idk man. Sony has more of what I think I'd want, but that doesn't mean much if I don't have the time to play their games.

 

[Hobbygaming]

The PS5 will have Uncharted, Spider-man 2, Lost Soul Aside, God of War 5, Granblue Fantasy Relink, Days Gone 2, Ratchet and Clank, Project Awakening, Horizon 2, Wild, Gran Turismo 7, Quantum Error

It's going to be so hard to beat this lineup

 

[Grinchy]

We just don't know shit yet. The safe assumption is that Xbox exclusives will be mediocre again, but it's not a guarantee. They bought a ton of studios and have already unleashed them on a brand new piece of hardware. Anything could come from that (12 months after the launch when their next-gen software actually starts coming out).

I guess Sony is just a safer bet. With what their studios were able to do on a PS4, it's all but guaranteed that they will continue to shine on the new hardware as well.

 

[GymWolf]

i just hope microsoft can have some single player ip that can rival sony single player games.

people get wet thinking about hellblade 2 just for the graphic, but the first one was barely a 7\10 game, even the order or ryse have better gameplay compared to that.
and for sony to maybe have one great fps (both single and multyplayer like halo or killzone 2) and some fantasy or scifi games.

 

[-Troid-]

They gotta have something cooking with all the studios they bought. Let's wait and see what gets announced. I mean Sony hasn't really shown anything for PS5 games-wise either (they're still riding PS4 for now).

I don't think the big guns are gonna be out for either device until a year+

People can speculate about Microsoft's lineup but they seem very serious about making their exclusive offerings more robust this time around. I doubt I'll be wowed by everything but I've never really been wowed by Sony's first party games either.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Horizon 2? A sequel to that soulless Far Cry clone? Not sure why you see such promise for that but to each their own.

 

[Demon2blades]

I've seen you say Sony will concentrate on mainly 30 FPS games in a few threads now god knows where you get that idea from , I mean it's your opinion and all but that's just stupid both consoles have enough power to target 60fps 99% of the time ...

 

[Matsuchezz]

I really do not expect anything really good from MS themselves. The kind of games the company puts out is really underwhelming and not exciting to me. what is only appealing to me is what ninja theory can deliver. I have been playing their games since heavenly sword, enslaved and hellblade. They have an artistic way of doing things that i like. If halo infinite is cooperative i will give it a try and play it with my brother. I do not like racers nor gears of war.

 

[DForce]

Sony has created many successful new IPs this generation and rebooted two in Ratchet and Clank and God of War (a soft reboot).

I still have to see what MS is going to be bring because I have been disappointed with this this generation when it comes to pushing out new exclusive titles.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Struggle to get excited about the largely same formula 30fps games that Sony make. They have great production value but peel away the fluff and the actually gameplay is nothing special. I much prefer 60fps games of the type which have great replay value and that ‘just one more go’ hook. MS are more likely to make these than Sony.

Also it’s pretty obvious that MS chose not to throw billions at exclusives this gen as it would have never rescued their hardware sales anyway. But they are geared up now to be much better this coming gen, the recent history and output is irrelevant.

 

[Gamernyc78]

This is what it really comes down to, now that the hardware specs for both consoles are revealed and both consoles being very similar, in fact this will be smallest differences we’ve seen in all generations, both consoles will be EPIC!! Very powerful and remind me of when Xbox 360 & PS3 when they came out.

Don't need to really wait for announcements as every gen this is said and every gen we know what sequels are coming from the big devs at Sony and/or the quality of new ips. E.g. we all know a new, epic GoW is coming, as well as a new Horizon. It's like when ppl buy a Nintendo console because they know another good Mario and Zelda is coming. I already know I'll prefer Sony's overall portfolio. Could Microsofts get better? Of course it can and that needs to be seen but I already know what time it is from Sony and thyll be top tier again like they were imo every gen. I however don't expect much from Microsoft due to their focus on gamepass, fluffing it up with lower budget AA type games. A budget doesn't make a game but it sure can help and put resources to making that game as good as it can be.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Will I get burnt to death here if I said I am looking for the new halo and forza game more than anything Sony offers ? Specially halo ?

lately I wan a game that offers amazing single player and long legs in multiplayer game that I enjoy . Sony doesn’t have a good multiplayer game that is amazing to play ( at least for me ) .

I was raised on twisted metal I got none of that. They killed the god of war hype for me wit the latest game they made and god knows when the new one will be out ( yes it got 10 in most places but god knows it doesn’t deserve that score Not even close. God of war 3 is a god epic game compared to this )

GT spots in a joke and it killed the GT series for me .
So yeah I am in stupid place that I actually want to play halo more than anything on PlayStation .
However I know that I am going to get PlayStation day one with xbox because I know I still want to play the next gen Sony games .
So I am expecting to drop a 1000$ on consoles this year . I am kinda hoping one would get delayed but I don’t see this happening .

I am buying both day one

 

[cireza]

Unlike you, I can't tell until I see the games.

Sony will be DESTROYING Xbox

Destroying Xbox, I don't know yet, but destroying brains, they surely are.

 

[Deeper Underground]

Just play the games you want man lol. MS knows Sony has the better first party offerings so they went on a spree and bought up all of these studios, but it may take years for them to bear fruit like it did for Sony. Just enjoy the ride until then.

Lol

You really need to take a break from the Internet.

 

[SlimySnake]

MS will be fine. They screwed up by not investing in these studios early on this gen which is why they wont have any next gen games available at launch, but they should have some trailers to show for games coming out in 2021 and 2022. They will be just as visually impressive, if not more than Sony's first party games.

Obsidian, Ninja Theory, Coalition games, and Playground are all talented studios and should be able to produce some incredible looking games. Whether or not they are fun to play remains to be seen, but they should be quality games at the very least.

 

[Uzupedro]

I'm curious to see how they will handle the exclusive momentum. Sony had great exclusives in a row between 2014-2019, and it worked very well, I hope both MS and Sony do something like that. Instead of dropping everything at once, whether at the beginning, middle or end of generation.

Halo Infinite running on the brand new Slipspace engine, all tweaked out for the XsX is going to look glorious. Also as far as budgets:

Rumor Mill: Halo Infinite Costs More Than $500 Million To Develop

The most expensive game (so far).

sea.ign.com

Pretty sure this game being a new gen launch title, running on a brand new engine, on a 12TF machine with a MASSIVE budget will do more than hold its own against any other game from any other publisher/developer.

 

[turtlepowa]

I don't know what is coming, but i have a feeling we will see many story focused 3rd person action adventures.

 

[phil_t98]

I've seen you say Sony will concentrate on mainly 30 FPS games in a few threads now god knows where you get that idea from , I mean it's your opinion and all but that's just stupid both consoles have enough power to target 60fps 99% of the time ...

that would be at currant gen visuals but we don't know what next gen visuals will take and be a hit on frame rate yet

 

[Hendrick's]

that would be at currant gen visuals but we don't know what next gen visuals will take and be a hit on frame rate yet

I think you may be right to an extent. Do I see Sony releasing a 30fps game to double down on presentation? Yeah, I do actually.

That said, I doubt this will be the common practice. Sony would get way too much heat if they were not hitting 60fps for the majority of their content.

 

[Bergoglio]

As long as they come to PC, you don't have exclusives.

 

[Keihart]

You can always make it prettier and target 30, nothing wrong with that if the gameplay and look it's designed around it.

 

[Hobbygaming]

PS5 will have some bangers in 2021-2022 for sure

 

[ZywyPL]

That's just my guess, but based on what I see that's already going on - MS is openly speaking about framerate, input-lag, they are already trying to push 60FPS on X1X on as much titles as possible, that's where they see their strength, I think they have no intentions to try to mimic what Sony is doing, I'd say they simply don't have what it takes, and they know it, so why even bother? I believe GAAS will be their main strategy, paired/backed up with Game Pass - they will put their games on it from day 1, but will try to capitalize on DLCs, Season Passes, Microtransactions, and so on, so they will mainly focus on gameplay and MP, to hoo up people for as long as possible, and get as much money back as possible.

Sony on the other hand is IMO in a very safe spot, their games are slow hence don't suffer much from being 30FPS, and people simply love them, so why change something that obviously works so damn well for them? Less framerate = better visuals=better cinematic experience. Just reading this or any other PS5 related thread, even those strictly SSD-oriented ones, it's crystal clear that people mostly want just better graphics, animations, physics etc. and everything else will be just a nice bonus. People expect another TLoU, anothe HZD, another GoW, and so on, and Sony would be dumb to not to deliver that. Would those games benefit from 60FPS? Absolutely, but it wouldn't create the same WOW effect as better graphics, I have zero doubts if Sony's devs downgraded the graphics to reach 60FPS no one would ever care about those games and talked about them so much.

To put it into perspective, we have Gears 5 that are technically a top-notch title, best use of UE4 hands down, and it's running in 4K60 already, on a current-gen console, but... nobody cares, it's completely overlooked, whereas games like TLoU2, GoW or HZD, a 1080p30 titles are being brought up every single day, if not hour, exactly because of how great they look. So all in all graphics>performance is what the general crowd prefers/wants, and that's what Sony delivers, and I believe they will want to continue that route. Even Insomniac back in PS3 times made a statement they won't be making 60FPS games anymore because that's limiting them on what they can graphically achieve.

I still sincerely hope both 1st party (and 3rd party) devs will push for 60FPS, it will ultimately all go down to how effective those consoles really are with RDNA2 GPUs and its features, but I can see Sony easily getting away with 30FPS games, they have nothing to lose, while MS who already spoiled people with 60FPS would have to make a huge step backwards, and people would immediately notice.

Correct. Every generation it seems to be taking longer for the best AAA to come out. 6 years for Ghosts of Tsushima is a good indication. they had Second Son in the launch window and their next release ics closing out the generation. I think most first party houses will only strike once per generation like Santa Monica, with may be one GamePass side project each in the case of Xbox studios.

 

[Aion002]

MS don't care about that. They only care about making fodders for game pass and xcloud like Bleeding Edge.

I see this way: They bought a studio that always made SP experiences, them the first thing they make is a kinda bad MP game.....

Sure, MS will make some good games like Ori or Cuphead.... but their main goal is to make shallow games as services experiences.... Even Halo might become that.

 

[sublimit]

IMO Sony has been building a trust with gamers ever since the PS3 that they will continue to deliver both AAA exclusives with high production values (Last of Us,God of War,Uncharted,Horizon etc) as well as unique and more "niche" exclusive games like Bloodborne,Dreams,The Last Guardian, Gravity Rush etc. They have been building this culture of software variety and freedom in their studios that caters to a very wide range of gaming tastes (especially if you include the console exclusives they get from Japanese 3rd party studios) for more than a decade now and they do that without ever interfering with the creative choices of their studios.

MS on the other hand still has a lot to prove. They have yet to prove that all these new studio acquisitions will be free to create anything they want and they will not be enforced to create small games to fill the gaps of Gamepass. But most importantly they have yet to prove that they are in it for the long term (like Sony) and not just trying to impress with a short term effort and then give up if this new initiative doesn't work out for them.

Lets not forget that Sony's studios and their exclusives have failed many times during the PS3 era yet Sony continued to believe in their approach even if it seemed as if they were burning money (many people then were actually criticizing them for that). They also continued their approach regardless of who was the president of Playstation. Their path had its ups and down but they stayed on their course regardless of who was at the helm steering the wheel. I hope MS has the same mentallity and doesn't change course when the first failure arrives or when Phil Spencer eventually steps down as president.
If they follow Sony's steps then i'm sure eventually we will see great exclusive games from them as well that will cover a wide variety of gaming tastes.But it will take a long time to be where Sony currently is and to build gamer's trust for the longterm.

 

[Demon2blades]

that would be at currant gen visuals but we don't know what next gen visuals will take and be a hit on frame rate yet

Current gen visuals aren't to be expected from these new consoles they are far more powerful his comment had Xbox targeting 3-4 X the fps as Sony's next gen while it's his opinion it's just not how things are going to go not with the hardware these consoles are packing .

You won't get burnt and that's your opinion. I for one felt last Halo was generic and mp wasn't that good (it's just my opinion). Gears was run of the mill and OK. I can see why you prefer Forza.

Bro we all have tastes and that's cool. I'm a person who hated Witcher 3 bcus of its combat and too much dialog, thought Botw was alright not great and dropped Red Dead after like three hours due to boredom. lol I know I must be crazy.

So much of this is subjective but then again there is a consensus of Sony's superiority in this respect based on a multitude of different opinions.

I'm sure you know that Bleeding Edge was in development before NT acquisitions, as NT stated many times...
... Or not. Either way, just stop

 

[sircaw]

I think it is pretty obvious that Sony's games will outshine Microsoft's if last generation is a trend to follow.

I do hope Microsoft's games are much better this time around, better games is good for everyone down the line.

 

[Aion002]

I'm sure you know that Bleeding Edge was in development before NT acquisitions, as NT stated many times...
... Or not. Either way, just stop

Yeah, that's why MS bought them.

Just my opinion.... I kinda like games as service so for me thats not something that bad.

 

[Bryank75]

They've cut out the markets they want now....

Certain people will prefer Forza, Halo, Gears, Hellblade, Fable, Perfect Dark and Obsidian style games.... even inXile's new turnbased game looks fun.... (I used to love Jagged Alliance 2 and reminds me of it).

PlayStation.. has had a great year so far and despite the virus looks like the rest of the year will be great too. Godfall looks like a fun coop game to sink hours in at launch (I expect mid to high 70's on meta).

They have sequels coming that I just can't miss, with GOW part 2, Horizon 2, Spider-man 2 and soon TLOU2.
Then I expect they will have a proper Gran Turismo early next gen.

Now..the more unpredictable side! Project Awakening looks incredible and I can't wait for that.... Socom is rumored to come back, Kojima is probably working on a horror game (Silent Hills?), I think a Ratchet and Clank is on the way too, another Persona, FF7 part 2, Uncharted from the new studio, Demons Souls remaster from BP, apparently SSM has a space / scifi game on the way and I expect games early to mid gen from Japan Studio and Media Molecule. Bend must be working on Days Gone 2 or something...

Loads of other possibilities too...
