Among the 3 main platform holders, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Nintendo Co., Ltd. are the two that put the most effort into their own first party game development. And both have been making moves to expand their development arms as industry consolidation forces platform holders to...

The PS2 had excellent first party support. Many of the console's best games were from Sony themselves. God of War, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Ico, Dark Cloud, Shadow of the Colossus, Gran Turismo 3 & 4.

First party games in the gaming world, are games that are funded and published by the platform holder. That being software being made by the same people who make the hardware. While third parties help round out your system's library, first party games drive it. Yet, whenever a recent newcomer...

If they're playing a game that works better with a regular controller. FPS are usually M & KB, but for something like GTA V, having the precision of a gyro combined with a gamepad is very beneficial.

They aren't. Maybe for you, but anybody who's used it on Switch and PC will tell you its the superior way to play shooters on consoles.

Even in single player, Gyro aiming is superior to stick aiming. This shit should be standard on all console shooters. Super Mario Odyssey and Luigi's Mansion 3 make great use of HD Rumble.

Because the controller still has a ton of room for improvement regarding functionality and inputs. Ergonomics and build quality are certainly important, but having innovative features that set new standards in equally as important.

Gyro aiming. Seriously, play any Switch shooter, you'll know that gyro aim is superior to analog sticks in every conceivable way. Developers need to be doing the same on PS5. Sony's devs tend to be a bit better at using the controller features. But it's still very inconsistent. It's completely...

With all the features of Sony's new DualSense controller for PS5, and Nintendo's Joy-Con and Pro Controllers for the Switch. The Xbox Series X controller IMO, is really looking ass-old in comparison. I mean, it's just the Xbox One controller, with yet another new D-Pad, and *Gasp* what's that, a...

As we approach the PlayStation 5, I feel like we should take a look back at some of the past PlayStation consoles in terms of how they stand up in terms of game library. PlayStation systems are known for their vast, and varied game libraries, filled with both quality first and third party...

It's when a game's edginess isn't the result of genuine artistic freedom, but the result of out-of-touch corporate suits trying to make what they think is cool and hip with da youths.

OW THE EDGE!

As Sony Computer Entertainment's publishing deal with Universal Interactive Studios for the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon series were about to expire, Crash Developer Naughty Dog needed to come up with a replacement IP for the PlayStation's successor, the PlayStation 2. This led to Jak &...

They just put out Astro Bot. Knack was also a PS4 launch title as well. It could. But Sony, like any company, would need to be convinced that the developers can make a game that stands out in the current gaming market. In other words, what could a new Ape Escape offer that other Platformers on...

They're all guilty of it. Example? Why hasn't Microsoft done anything with their OG Xbox and Xbox 360 IPs? Fuzion Frenzy, Lost Odyssey, Blinx, Quantum Redshift, Shadowrun, Crimson Skies, Project Gotham Racing, half of Rare's stuff, etc. The reality is that it's just not economically feasible to...
