I never said it's going backwards. The rare gems are potentially great, I'm not saying otherwise.
I'm just more saying, looking beyond the obvious few exclusives, I feel game developers (and I'm not pointing at Sony solely) just don't seem to try.
Take GTA for example.... It started on the PS3, ran through PS4 until the end and was the first game on show on the PS5 reveal.
Sure it's making money, and lots of it, but my god it's been done to death. Bring out a new GTA, not just rehash the a PS3 game. Could say the exact same for Skyrim btw and it's 12 or so different variants. A lot of companies are just happy to bang out old games over and over.
Taking this event just gone though, out of them, how many are gonna be released within the first month, Gran Turismo for sure, maybe Spiderman if you're lucky, but it's not a great line up.
I agree that Sony do exclusives better than the rest and wouldn't argue that, but they can't prop up gaming on their own, and I'm more talking about developers beyond Sony.
And for this Ubisoft is a great example of a company that just bends over it's fans.
