In November 2021, The Doctor shared with you the article "If you can't buy it, only one of the ten most popular PS5 games is completely exclusive", which tells the story of the next-generation console PS5 that has been launched for one year and has not made players very satisfied. No players are naturally complaining about the shortage of consoles, and fans who bought PS5 will also complain about some problems, such as: the strategy of exclusive game porting PC platform, DualSense controller is not durable, and so on.
Among them, the most criticized by PS5 players is the current exclusive game lineup. There are only a few products that are completely exclusive, and among the popular TOP10, only "Demon Souls: Remake" is such a model. Of course, playing games with PS5 can experience better image quality, higher frame rates, and shorter load times, but players still want to play more first-party works.
As far as the game lineup is concerned, Sony is actually actively trying to make changes! Recently, Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, attended the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and officially announced that 17 studios under PlayStation Studios are building games for playStation 5! Although PS5 shipments have always been problematic, consoles are always selling more and more, and there are more and more players, and it is necessary to provide a wealth of first-party games.
Sony's studios are all well-known, such as: Santa Monica's God of War: Twilight of the Gods, which developed the God of War series, was revealed to be launched in September this year; Guerrilla Games, which developed Horizon: Dawn of Zero, will be released in February; and Marvel Spider-Man Insomniac is developing Marvel Spider-Man 2 and Marvel Wolverine.
In addition, "Devil's Souls: Remake" Bluepoint, "Souls of Tsushima" Sucker Punch, "GT7" Polyphony Digital, "Once Upon a Time Again" Bend Studio and so on are definitely new works in hand. In addition to these heavyweight game studios mentioned above, we also found the Nixxes Software team that specializes in porting games for PC. PlayStation officially acquired the studio last year, and I believe that more PlayStation's IP will move to the PC platform in the future!
It is worth mentioning: Neil Druckmann, co-president of Naughty Dog, also attended CES 2022, and he said that the studio is developing multiple works at the same time. Although Neil did not disclose which games, Tom Henderson, a whistleblower who has worked in a number of American game media in the past, said that there should be a remake of "The Last Survivor" and an online mode of "The Last Survivor 2", and even "The Last Survivor 2: Director's Cut" is also possible. Still, he doesn't know when and how these products will be launched.
The remake of "The Last Survivor" will most likely be released in the second half of 2022, because this time period is the day when HBO's "The Last Survivor" album is released, and the two are interactively launched, which can help each other! Here's an interesting thing: The Doctor remembers Jim Ryan mentioning in May 2021 that there are more than 25 PlayStation Studios PS5 games in development, and more than half of the titles will be new IPs.
The combination of the two information is that PlayStation Studios has 17 studios that are making about 25 PS5 games, this number is still quite reasonable, I believe that in 2023, 2024 there will be a large number of high-quality PS5 games will meet with players, I hope that at that time, PS5 will not be so difficult to buy.
