PS5 will see ‘smaller first party games’ this year including Astro Bot claims insider

It’s rumoured that there will be at least some PS5 exclusives released this year from Sony, but it’s still unclear if that includes Concord.

Lightning7718d ago

This is by the legendary leaker Snitch. He has like a 90% accuracy rate.

This bit of news only makes sense. sony won't have any major first party games until next April and beyond. Astro Bot and Silent Hill 2 make sense for release. Still wondering if Concord releases this year.

neutralgamer199216d ago

Sony said no 1st part existing franchises. There might be 2nd party games and new IP’s. Since this year started Sony has had 4 big blockbuster exclusives which all came from 2nd party studios. They know when they need to give their 1st party more time to rely on 2nd party partners and plan accordingly

Mr Logic16d ago

Absolute rubbish. They said, "No big first party IP on the level of God of War and Horizon." They ABSOLUTELY did not rule out first party games entirely.

Lightning7716d ago

Correct Concord and Fair Games could be slated for this year. silent Hill 2 is this year.

Square is third party but I get what you're sayin.

Cacabunga16d ago

Sony must at least reveal a few..

shinoff218316d ago

They definitely said existing ip lightning.

Lightning7716d ago (Edited 16d ago )

So you expect new AAA ips releasing from Sony this year?

1Victor1d 4h ago

@Lighting the behind the curtain Sony CEO/CFO have spoken (insert thunder soundtrack here )

In my opinion Sony have a sleeper kids game on Astro Bot and don’t use it 😩as much as they should

Goodguy0118d ago

Asides from Nintendo which are prepping for their next gen hardware, it's been kinda odd for sony and mcsft in terms of first party. 3rd party and indies have been kicking ass though.

Profchaos17d ago

Microsoft is busy trying to buy the industry to have more games while Sony cares more about the quality of the games which means long wait times.

Modern gaming it kind of sucks because it takes years for us to get a release sometimes a decade while back in the day on the ps2 era a game would be done in a year or a huge project may require two.

Nintendo actually have it the best out of all companies as development times for weaker hardware like the switch are far quicker meaning we can see more switch games get pumped out with a high level of polish they may still look like 7th gen games but they still look good really

Sonyslave317d ago

Lol you do know sony brought 95% of their studioss'.

Nooderus17d ago

Japan Studio used to make quality stuff, otherwise Sony first party games kinda stink man

fr0sty17d ago

Sony didn't buy a single publisher... Sony buys individual studios years after working with them as second party partners and the studio proving they can make system sellers. Microsoft buys entire publishers in an attempt to monopolize the industry.

tay870117d ago

@nooderus. if you think sonys 1st part stinks, you must think xboxs really sucks. Sonys 1st party trounce xboxs. Xbox has way more studios now but they pale in comparison when it comes to quality. Xbox can only dream of having studios like naughty dog, santa monica, insomniac, guerilla and sucker punch. All of these studios have released games in the last decade that have been nominated for game of thr yr. Naughty dog, santa monica, guerilla , and insomniac all have multiple games nominated in thst time span. ND actually won it twice and Santa Monica won it once. No other publisher has more nominations or wins in the last decade.

fr0sty17d ago

The bots are sore to hear it, but you can't argue with the truth when it has facts to back it up.

New astro bot is fine by me. Still go back and play the tech demo every few months.

RNTody17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Honestly I'd just be happy if we could get a Sony show this year that shows us gameplay for Wolverine, Naughty Dog's new IP and Sucker Punch's game, whether it's a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima or a new IP and Bluepoint's new game. Housemarque released Returnal in 2021 which took a bit over 4 years to develop, so hopefully they'll be ready for an announcement soon of what they're working on. Bungie... we'll see.

However with Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin and Final Fantasy Rebirth, it hasn't exactly been a quiet or ineffective year while the first party's are keeping things hush.

Profchaos17d ago

Well if you want to see wolverine GamePlay there's a metric ton of it flying around the net

RNTody17d ago

I'm not going to watch leaked alpha footage that the developer never intended to see the light of day. I'm going to watch a proper showcase when it's ready.

Nooderus17d ago

"I'm going to watch a proper showcase when it's ready" shut up tod

RNTody17d ago

@Nooderus Forgive me, nii-san.

Profchaos17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Astrobot to me that's huge I hope it's both a flatscreen game and a VR game like gt7.

One of my favourite gaming experiences last gen was astro bot resuce mission on psvr it's almost criminal that more people never got a chance to experience the game it was one VR game that actually could have been ported to a flat screen experience with some minor control tweaks.

Sony Commits to PS5 and PC FPS Concord Coming Out in 2024

While Sony has said there are no plans to release sequels in its major franchises this financial year, ruling out new games in the Spider-Man and God of War series until at least April 2025, we do know of one new first-party PlayStation game coming out this year: Concord.

Sonic18811d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

Is this a live service multiplayer game like Helldivers 2? Never heard of this game

romulus231d 5h ago

Multiplayer, pvp, fps. As far as live service I can't confirm but it most likely is just based on the type of game it is.

XiNatsuDragnel1d 5h ago

Very interesting I hope we learn about concord

Kurisu1d 3h ago

Yeah I'm intrigued by it. We keep hearing about the game, but we've seen very little so I can't work out what it actually is.

jznrpg1d 4h ago

This is good for PS as a whole but I have been done with PVP shooters for about a decade now.

phoenixwing18h ago

They died for me when the ps3 was phased out.

MrBaskerville7h ago

I would be so hyped if it was some kind of singleplayer title. But it's not. Still curious, that image is very cool.

Xbox on social. PlayStation has no games, yet PlayStation is the only company that has a day and date road map for all their exclusives. Side note, if it's on pc it's not exclusive.

S2Killinit124d ago

Yeah they actually have release dates for anything we know about. Except Wolverine but that was a leak I think.

franwex124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

Excluding Nintendo I see…

itsmebryan124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

@Hereandthere
Yeah, you can trust Sony's day and date rosd map because Sony never has delayed games right?

What happened to buying 3rd party exclusives being bad for gamers and the industry? Its better to invest in your own studios. I love how the goal post move to fit a narrative.

The3faces124d ago

Never forget this is N4G where Hypocrisy lives and thrives. Everything Sony does is cheered but when MS does it it's suddenly bad for gaming.

Lightning77124d ago

I remember hearing that for well over 10+ years now. 3rd party exclusives didn't count it HAD to be 1st party. I fully expected that narrative to change and here we are.

Crows90124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

...what happened to it? Nothing did. It's still true. No goal post moved other than what you're imagination moves around for you.

3rd party exclusives are bad for gamers...doesn't affect the industry as whole much though. Buying up the 3rd party devs and making those games permanently exclusive...yeah thats way worse. No goal post has moved ..Xbox has simply enlarged the field to astronomical levels of shitty.

3rd party exclusives used to be as bad as it gets...as usual Xbox leads the pack with worst practices. They've made the worst thing look not as bad anymore compared to how shitty they can be.

Lightning77123d ago

@crows talk about being out of the loop on Twitter/X the PS fanboys are saying it's about 3rd party now. NOW they're upping the importance of third party. When in actuality it's always been important and always will be. Stating the obvious isn't imagination.

Those bad practices started with PS1 and 2. Even Nintendo did it with Sega back then. That practice has been happening for 30 years now.

DigitallyAfflicted123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Not for 3 generations 😂

Edit: did is article about Sony exclusive games, keep x out of it….

"Side note, if it's on pc it's not exclusive."

If you didn't ever own a gaming PC nor plan to get one either, and if you ever only played on a console, then a game that's being released exclusively for any console, fits the base line of "I can't get it on any other console".

In the independent area and market of home consoles, which has actually always existed independently of the PC, a game is console-exclusive, even if it is released for the PC.

Christopher124d ago

That's some mental gymnastics there. The point of exclusive is to sell one platform as being necessary. The point otherwise is to have the ability to reach more of the market. PC is a market. You don't ignore it because it's not a console. In fact, it's the largest and more profitable market than any console. So, you put it there because you are reaching the largest audience outside of mobile.

Lightning77124d ago

So PS barely has any real exclusives then.

Making sure it goes both ways.

Einhander1972124d ago

Their exclusive enough that they won't be on Xbox, can't wait for Blade on PS5 though.

Crows90124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

You're correct. Sony has less exclusives now then before....most however don't release day and date with PC but if you're willing to wait then all power to you.

Sony has already guaranteed I won't go purchasing the next PlayStation. I much prefer to game on PC and am very patient with games

ChasterMies124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

“if it's on pc it's not exclusive”

PC is the Switzerland of the console wars. Whether a game is on PC is meaningless.

Christopher124d ago

100% not how market reach works. This argument only works for people defending plastic.

Lightning77124d ago

@Ein They're exclusive enough not to be on Xbox? Are you really trying to change the rules that literally apply to both machines? I know you're weird but don't be that weird. Yeah no since bringing back the downplay narrative that Xbox has no exclusive because of PC now applies to PS full stop it goes both ways.

Can't wait for my free game from you when you lose that easy bet that Blade is only gonna be on Xbox and PC. You'll probably change your name or something when your wrong.

Einhander1972123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Too busy playing the Granblue Fantasy: Relink Demo and the Arknights: Endfield Tech test to bother with you today.

Can't wait to play Halo, Sea of Thieves and HiFi Rush on my PS5 too, 2027 gonna be playing all your former exclusives, Hype!

Blade gonna be way better on PS5 Pro than xbox!

Lightning77123d ago

Too much logic for you especially logic that gets thrown right back in your face but yeah have fun.

Can't wait to play Halo, Sea of Thieves and HiFi Rush on my PS5 too, 2027 gonna be playing all your former exclusives, Hype!

Blade gonna be way better on PS5 Pro than xbox!

These aren't "my" exclusives I didn't make nor develop these games so I have no clue what you're talking about. Despite the fact that you're spouting nonesense. Nonesense you don't even believe at this point and is just for jokes and gags. It's funny to see those "mediocre" games anticipated by you and others now, suddenly. Regardless you can only hope and dream, the same hoping and dreaming that PS games hitting Nintendo or Xbox from those fanboys.

ravens52123d ago

Why do people lack common sense?
1. Xbox wouldn't have any of these 1st party games if they didn't BUY the MULTIPLATFORM STUDIOS that are making them.
2. The studios that are making these ps exclusives are still FREE TO MAKE EXCLUSIVES FOR OTHER PLATFORMS.

SIMPLE. 🤯

Helldivers 2 omfg I can’t wait for that.

monkey602124d ago

Yeah me too. Pacific Drive also has my hype for some reason

jznrpg124d ago

Cruising in your car up the Pacific Coast Highway sounds like it could be fun in a game. I did this as a young kid up until my 20’s so at least it will offer some nostalgia but the premise of the game sounds interesting and different without the nostalgia.

Doomeduk124d ago

Makes me think of an unlicensed mandolorian type game in a good way

repsahj123d ago

Helldivers 2 will gonna be awesome for sure!!

franwex124d ago

I’m ready for FF7 rebirth!!

ThePacemaker123d ago

No Stellar Blade love?

This game looks stunning.

What even was this announcement?
Some CG and a title ...

crazyCoconuts356d ago

yup, no clue - don't even know what to expect
Now if that was 30 seconds of Twisted Metal Black CGI I'd be a happy camper

I_am_Batman356d ago (Edited 356d ago )

I will never understand why publishers think a vague cg trailer is a good way to announce a new IP.

I don't think cg trailers should be a thing at this point at all, but at least it can work for something like MGS 3 remake, because simply knowing that it's real is somewhat exciting. With a new IP however, nobody knows what they're looking at.

IanTH356d ago

Why even show a PvP title without gameplay? A single player game, you can get a gist for the story, the tone, things of that nature. That's what this felt like it was trying to do. But for PvP? It's almost worse than nothing. Truly confusing.
