Sony has no multiplayer exclusives.

I was a 360 guy last generation, this generation ive been on the ps4 bandwagon. Its a solid console, has some good exclusives. But a major thing is missing for me.

Where is the multiplayer??? Like i understand multi-plats are still supported, battlefield, C.O.D, titanfall, overwatch. But seriously Sony has no descent multiplayer exclusives. As someone who greatly enjoys competitive multiplayer it kinda sucks. I actually miss halo and gears a lot. Seems like a missed opportunity by Sony, Im not the only gamer with a ps4 who enjoys a solid multiplayer experience.

Sony puts so much time into storytelling single player games but put absolutely nothing into multiplayer, like they don't even try. (Uncharted 4 multiplayer) What was that crap, might as well not even put it in the game.

I wonder if Sony will ever come out with an exclusive that is multiplayer focused. Single player is great but (20-30 hours) But a great multiplayer experience can keep you coming back on and off for many years. (1000s of hours).

You can play Knack co-op, if that counts as multiplayer

Go play Xbox then. The best multiplayer games are 3rd party anyway.

@eyeboonseyebrow: gotta get a 4k tv first. But still it doesn't bother you Sony hasn't made not one solid multiplayer experience?

Who cares? For multiplayer I have my overwatch, Diablo and other games, I'm fine with Sony not investing in multiplayers, let the 3rd parties do it.

@MonsieurX: bloodborne too

Gran Turismo isn't a thing?

Uncharted (even though you knock it)?

They don't have a huge strain on it, true. But they still have their own games.

Bloodborne has multiplayer. I guess.

The Last of Us and Bloodborne both have good multiplayer but nope, I much prefer Sony do what they do best and that's single player.

Well, no one has that.

Uncharted, TLOU, Bloodborne, Everybody’s Golf, Dead Nation, Alienation all are multiplayer exclusive. Their varying appeal is another matter.

Also many people overlook Helldivers, though it’s no longer exclusive.

You guys are reaching with with last of us and bloodborne, id hardly consider them solid multiplayer experiences, especially in regards to competitive multiplayer. Only game listed i can get behind is gran turismo, but racing is its own thing imo.

The Wipeout Omega Collection also has online and offline multiplayer.

Your thread title says 'no' mp exclusives. Now you are walking it back. You're also conveniently forgetting that PSVR has a ton of MP games. Quality ones at that.

It may be dead but KZSF has MP.

Fact is, VR is the next frontier in multiplayer games. Battle Royale is fresh, but it's also derivative of so many other online MP deathmatch style games. The fact Sony is going into the VR realm is a huge leg up on what you will find on other consoles.

@jeezers: Death Stranding will have innovative multiplayer.

@jeezers:

Multiplayer is stupid, anyway. All your work at some point will eventually disappear once the game is deemed obsolete by the next trend. Good riddance, I say.

And if you want multiplayer so bad and miss Halo, then just buy an Xbox One and get Halo 5 and Gears 4! Who says that you can't have both?

MLB The Show.

@Shewgenja: those aren't good multiplayer games, they are good single player games with a mp mode tacked on. People don't look at last of us or bloodbourne as multiplayer games. I didn't back track, of course some Sony games have multiplayer, but the multiplayer isnt good, or the main draw to the game, because it is lackluster multiplayer. It's not the games fault tho, they were made mainly for single player. Makes sense the multiplayer isnt very good. It was tacked on

@GameboyTroy: I do love some Wipeout, great collection. But are remasters from previous generations. If this is the peak of Sony's exclusive multiplayer. I'd say that's not very good.

I love how the Sony fanboys say "Let the 3rd parties do it" Why? Nintendo manages to do both. Even Microsoft managed at one point.

Sony are like Ubisoft, only know how to do one thing now.

Why can't I leave AAA SP games to 3rd parties then? Well to be honest outside of graphics 3rd party AAA SP games are better than Sony's offerings anyway.

You'l need to back that up with something concrete before you call it a fact, as its not even a fact that VR will become big, let alone MP gaming in it.

BAttle Royale and Moba's are the biggest things in online gaming.... what magic VR experiences are going to compete with games that have as many people playing now at one time years later than VR headsets sold?

agreed. that argument is bogus

Seriously what PS vr multiplayer is booming? I hardly even have heard of a great psvr game especially multiplayer game. most people i know on playstation dont even have the vr headset.

Sony doesn't know how to do MP.

First it had to be "good" and now it needs to be "booming" which I assume means some arbitrary attach rate the way this is going.

Indeed.

I don't know why PS4 fanboys want Sony to be pigeon holed into SP AAA games, its not like they make a great deal of them.

I've been looking to fill in any exclusive gaps, so far I've played:

Uncharted 4

Uncharted 4.1

Horizon

Last Gaurdian

Infamous SS (medicore)

Infamouse SS FL ( SS1.1)

Killzone (terrible)

Still to play:

Ratchet

God of War

What else is there? from Sony publushing? 5 years, 80 million "For the Gamers" .... and the list is so small.

Thier SP AAA scene is incredibly overblown, and they fail time and time again to branch out from that formular. Sure they buy things like Bloodborne and Gravity Rush and Spiderman... but any Big Publisher can do that.

Only Nintendo are coping well across the board with variety.

giving proof of "good" or even "noticable" would be a good start...

@Shewgenja: of course it is, Lems try in a daily basis to create narrative to undermine Sony, now their new one is "Sony has no múltiplayer games", and any should it have, honestly? What's been doing is successful enough, while the competition is dealing with failures like SOT.

we need socom 2

A solid multiplayer game has to be "good" to be solid. Im not talking about bad multiplayer, or dead community multiplayer. Yeah some sony games have multiplayer, but if it isnt good then why even have it???? My point is sony hasn't made a game with AAA multiplayer. You know a multiplayer game that is taken seriously not just a multiplayer mode tacked on with hardly any game modes, options, maps, community.

Forget the word booming, lets go back to good. Whats the "good" multiplayer psvr game you speak of.

And here I am just wondering if you XBox gamers are just too scared or snowflakey to handle VR. I'm sure you take one look at Eve Valkyrie and need a paper bag next to you and some tissues to cry into. Maybe the flat screen is a safe space for you.

Dude i play on PS4 and i dont see the big appeal of spending 250-300 dollars on that VR headset. Nothing groundbreaking so far, maybe once something great is released for it. ill drop that money on it.

yes

Shewgenja at this point you need to admit you really don't have a valid point here... no sense dodging around it, we already know.

As a PC Gamer, I am not afraid of VR, but I'm not investing in it until there is a solid direction for these headsets and the technology is at a point where it is worth participating... PSVR 1.0 is not it.

We have chinese headsets in the works with 140-200 field of view, 4k and 8k others with OLED , others with Surround sound built in.. no standards, not common sense design. until that 140-200 VR 4k-8k resolution is runnable these devices are fishbowl low quality "fun for 5 minute" devices... not practical resplacements for anything.

Certainly not going to compete with the large MP scene using standard viewing technology and standard controls.

Oh, I'm sorry. Here I thought you were going to run out and buy another console for its MP, but I guess I misunderstood. My bad.

And your point is more valid?

Dissmissing games just cause they don't match your taste?

Dismissing what games?

He didn't mention any to dismiss, most likely because the overall debate (high end MP experiences) couldn't be met.

he made the claim, I'm just waiting for the evidence. Until then the statement "Sony doesn't need to invest in MP games because VR will become more important to MP games, and Sony leads there" with no context.

I though you were TC that dissmissed Bloodborne.

I would in some way dismiss bloodborne, as that is hardly "high end MP" is it? It's also just a bough exclusive re-skin of Dark Souls with tweaks... I call that a minor win at best.

Dismissing what games, people want to talk about the greatness of PSVR, wheres the games??? Looks like a waste of money imo, almost every game made for it seems to get mediocre scores, more of a gimmick right now and it is NOT the future of multiplayer. Not even close. Still no one has named a good MP game for it, but wants to claim its the future of multiplayer. What world you living in.

See, this is why I don't play along. I already cleared the goal post. The PS4 has a great MP scene. The PS4 has MP games no other console has. PSVR adds presence in a way that, at least for me, makes a lot of typical MP games rather boring. On top of that, in the case of FFXIV, there's a massive multiplayer game that is only second to WoW.

This isn't a discussion about facts. It's a discussion about a narrative. I don't want to play your game. You'll shoot down any and everything I say because all you want to do is paint XBoxes online as giraffe vagina and you will always put it on an escalating pedestal. I'm not an idiot. I am not the one.

stopped reading after the first sentence, Uncharted 4's multiplayer is trash.

I couldn't care less about Xbox's online, I don't even own one. I own a PC, PS4 Pro and a Switch, and by the looks of it the TC is similar.

All that is being done in this thread is pointing out a big weakness in Sony, so I understand why you are compeltely frazzled.

All I've seen you lot do is list ANY game with ANY sort of multiplayer, even if it was NOT that successful, or simply tacked on.... it just furthers the point home to me, there is no goal posts being moved, or made up storyline for you to wear a tin foil hat for.

The only way you will achieve the "not an idiot" status you are desperatly trying to avoid for no reason is to admit you had no real follow up to your original statement and that Sony is rather pigeon holed in the 1st party games direction.. and have failed to make MP experiences rivaling other platforms.

Which is the simple truth of the situation.

I look at PS4 exclusives and see the same set of sub genres all so close and similar and safe. I look at Nintendo, at least I can mix it up with some good local Co-Op, or strategy games, or party games etc ...

Exactly.

Seems Sony isn't catering to you, so maybe get a Bone and live happy.

I don't care for MP games, that's why i play on PS4, but if i wanted to, there are games from Sony that others have already said.

Ive been gaming for 20 years now. I used to play non MP games and i prefer my game to be that way.

Boriiiing. You do not get the receipts, today.

Replace the switch with a 2ds xl and yeah were pretty much on the same page. You seem to be the only person who gets what I'm saying. Thanks, you hit the nail on the head.
