Feeling pessimistic about it, but when I got my first non-Nintendo platform (PS3) there were certain exclusives that I got hooked on (MotorStorm, Resistance, Wipeout, Twisted Metal, and Killzone)... all of which are now gone, or have been absent for several years. In spite of that, I'm really hoping that this event shows at least one of those franchises returning. Otherwise I don't have much of a reason to own both a Playstaion and Xbox going forward. I've grown accustomed to both interfaces, and both new platforms are ridiculously powerful compared to what I own now. So the exclusives are all that matter in my eyes, they're the sole deciding factor... unless one company decides to blindside players the same way Microsoft did with the initial launch of the Xbox One.
Not trying to discredit Sony's current theme of 1st party games, their overwhelming success has proven that this is the market best suited to them. Its just that these 3rd person, narrative-driven action adventure game are not my brand of entertainment, at all. Never cared for Uncharted, TLOU, or Prototype, and this evolution of the genre doesn't peak my interest. I want to see some very strong platformer, FPS shooter, vehicle combat, and/or arcade racing games going forward, otherwise I'll just stick with Halo and Forza... despite not enjoying them nearly as much as the five games I initially listed.
Feeling very anxious about this event.
