PS5’s True “Generation-Defining” Games Won’t Come Until 2022 Says Jim Ryan

[VFXVeteran]

I'll admit some of that went over my head but point taken on the idea that they are already making high quality assets and shrinking them down (LOD is it?).

LOD, textures, AO, etc..

 

[Griffon]

Then why did they release the consoles now? The hardware would have been much better 2 years later.

 

[Mabdia]

Actions, Jimie, Actions!

I've said it on other topic that I just don't remember, but exclusives shouldn't even release on PS4, let alone PC.

 

[twilo99]

oh just in time for the ps5 "pro" or whatever they call it then

Why bump this old thread though?

Why not?

As a PS5 owner thanks Jim! Now I get to see starfield on Xbox this year and wonder why I bought in on that generations message!

 

[CitizenKratos]

It’s amazing to see so many people confuse ‘generation defining’ games with ‘generation exclusives’. Demon Souls remake for example isn’t generation defining but is exclusive to this gen.

 

[Dinky]

Killzone Shadow Fall was one of the most impressive launch titles on any console, we probably won't see anything like that again. Still easily in top 3 best looking FPS games of last gen.

Lol, amateur. Step up yo trollin' game!

 

[Three]

Why not?

I don't know, your milage may vary but i don't think a thread where jim says devs take about 2 years to make generation defining games is worth a bump 6 months later to tell Jim to not make games on PC and PS4 but that's just me.

People can do whatever they like l was just wondering why though.

 

[Eric187]

Lol, amateur. Step up yo trollin' game!

 

[captainraincoat]

Problem is a trickle of exclusives each year ain’t going to cut it when you have a fire hose

 

[Negotiator101]

Just like Microsoft? Where's Microsoft first party next-gen exclusives? Playstation already has one at launch and another one next year announced so far.

Halo is out this year.

 

[MonarchJT]

well we seeing it

 

[Hobbygaming]

You

As a PS5 owner thanks Jim! Now I get to see starfield on Xbox this year and wonder why I bought in on that generations message!

You may or may not see Starfield this year but we'll definitely see Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart this year

 

[vodka-bull]

WHY DID I BUY A PS5 NOW THEN???

DARN SONY!!!

/s

Probably because your PS4 pro already flew to the moon. At least that‘s why I‘d buy one. To get the full PS4 Pro experience.

[TheGodfather07]

Well no shit! Games always get better as the gen goes.

 

[MrSarcastic]

Yep. That's how game development works...Is this drama fuel?

 

[Kilau]

The floor? In front of drawers? Why?

 

[SSfox]

It's obvious, that pretty much how it always been with new consoles generations, but surpring he says that, i don't think it's good PR thing to say. The random casual would think "huh so what's the point of buying ps5 now, i'll wait 2022"

 

[Reality Czar]

Isn't Chrono Cross a Playstation exclusive?

 

[Mabdia]

Why bump this old thread though?

Don't know how but it showed on the first page. I've aways use just the first page. I thought it was something new. Sorry.

 

[Eric187]

The floor? In front of drawers? Why?

So I can kick it when it has no exclusives. Lol nah I just placed it there and haven’t moved it yet.

 

[Eric187]

You

You may or may not see Starfield this year but we'll definitely see Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart this year

It’s been trademarked for 2021 I believe it’s happening

 

[reinking]

So I can kick it when it has no exclusives. Lol nah I just placed it there and haven’t moved it yet.

So we can expect you will be complaining to the cabinet manufacturer that you do not have enough content to use your drawers?

The PlayStation 5 has officially launched in all regions of the world, but it may be a while before truly transformational next-gen experiences arrive. Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan famously stated that the company “believes in generations,” but a number of PS5 blockbusters including Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, and possibly God of War Ragnarok, are crossgen titles, and other Sony execs have hinted PS4 support will continue for at least another three years. Jim Ryan reiterated this idea in a new interview with the Russian News Agency TASS…


So, if crossgen is going to be a reality of life for some time to come, when are those real next-gen PS5 experiences going to arrive? Stuff that wouldn’t even be imaginable on PS4? According to Ryan, they aren’t coming this year or even next year – 2022 is when the PS5’s power will be truly tapped.


Again, this doesn’t mean there won’t be PS5 exclusives before then – we already have two big ones in Demon’s Souls and the upcoming Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. But it seems the real mind-blowing stuff with the fidelity of that amazing Unreal Engine 5 PS5 demo, is still some ways away.

The PlayStation 5 is available now worldwide. What do you think about Ryan’s comments? Are a couple years too long to wait for those generation-defining games? Or are you cool with this transitional period?

Uh oh.

Returnal?? I mean, there are already next-gen exclusives since day one. So, "we believe in generations" holds the water. There was also a PS3/PS4 cross-gen exclusive games - like Injustice, LittleBigPlaned 3, Toukiden, MLB

People try to guess a lot of things based on trademarks and it typically always amounts to nothing

Anyway all they're doing is filing for an extension until they can file for a statement of use

 

[Spokker]

100%. The materials and lighting were things the previous generation could not even come close to pulling off.

The downsides were a bit of aliasing and an inconsistent framerate, but the leap was apparent from day 1.

 

[sainraja]

I should say Destiny was the first in Sep 2014.

Massive success, supreme gameplay, no game (at last on console) did what it did, every big publisher started to try to create it own Destiny (even today they are trying), etc etc etc.. B

Destiny was actually cross generation though.

 

[Kerlurk]

That post of mine you're responding to is very old, and was joking, as I know you know.

Really enjoying all the fps goodness that PS5 brings to PS4/Pro titles.

 

[Golgo 13]

Jesus you're right, I hadn't recalled that. Those older versions must have been atrocious.

PS5 version is locked 60fps so that's most of the problems fixed. The leap was huge indeed.

I hope it does for the sake of competition
