Alpha Dog Jim Ryan said PS5 will have more exclusives than ever before

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/jim-ryan-says-playstation-has-been-quietly-investing-in-ps5-exclusives/

Speaking to Nikkei (paywall, translated by VGC), the PlayStation boss said the company has been “quietly” investing in the creation of first-party software, and that it could pursue further M&A opportunities to bolster its in-house development capabilities.

“We have been quietly but steadily investing in high-quality games for PlayStation, and we will make sure that the PS5 generation will have more dedicated software than ever before,” Ryan said.

“We have repeatedly engaged in mergers and acquisitions, including Insomniac Games in the US. We will not rule out that option in the future.”

You can absolutely trust him.

Alpo dog is mooaar like it.

lolol :P

Didn't he once say that PS5 games would all be next gen exclusive as well...

Coming 2025 and beyond.

If Returnal is already heating up all the hermits and lems, what will happen when GoW2 comes out?

If you're poor and have to settle for last gen versions that's your problem.

That's the other company.

The kinda dude you'd see at an Epstein party.

Good point. Would be awful to be poor wouldn't it?

Hmm, maybe you're not aware of the ongoing market situation, but not willing to buy something from scalpers =/= empty wallet... 🙄

He's the one who brought up some first party PS5 games having PS4 ports. It's a dumb argument to make when the quality difference will be night and day.

I only brought it up to highlight Jim's a bit of a bullshitter.

If only we could play those investments.

Nice! We already can see those investments paying off with the massive library the ps5 has grown since launch😂😂😂

Exactly. They still want people to get GP subs even though they don't have shit ready for it.

There's a reason he's known as Jim "the liar" Ryan lol.

A pick me up thread for Sony fannies looking for good news. 😂

He puts a different meaning to "the tools" IMO. But hopefully for PS5's sake this is true

GS subs have topped 23mil, surprised lems are not raging about it. Although, does not go into detail.

I don't know NathanDrake, Jim Ryan just rubs me the wrong way but hey, I'll give him 1 year chance to see how this plays out for PS5.

Cool. If they’re games that interest me then I’ll buy them.

I hope he's saving some of that money to buy good reviews for all these games he's investing in.

Regardless of the haters in here, I'm happy to see Playstation continues to move forward on the path of AAA exclusive games.

I'm also happy that MS finally has a plan with their acquisitioned studios. We just don't really know what their full plan is. Still wanting confirmation if that new Indiana Jones game has a chance to come to PS5 but I have severe doubts.

Then there's Nintendo. I don't feel they have much of a plan for their exclusives moving forward but they've always been pretty hush hush on what they're planning. Other then Zelda BotW 2, they have nothing in their future that interests me. If I didn't have kids to enjoy the Switch, I would never have bought it and would have been fine skipping the system entirely.

I'd say that dream aint happening at this point. None of the official Playstation PR/social channels have published the trailer, any marketing material, or even publicly acknowledged the existance of the game in any way. Not even a retweet from a single Sony blue-checkmark exec. That is because they were not sent these materials and given permission to post or engage with them.

This was not a mistake, misunderstanding, or an oversight. Deathloop content gets plastered, retweeted, liked, and reposted all over Sony channels the instant it goes up elsewhere. There is no up-in-the-air, will they or wont they thing going on here.

Shame it won't have Days Gone 2 though.

Stop dude. I get this is your little schtick that you have on this forum, but not cool.

With the recent development this kind of marketing rethoric has become invalid. Sony has become just another Microsoft/Valve, cheap fast food games for the masses, catering to the bargin bin mentality of gamers today.

@StrongDeadlift: Hence my severe doubt that PS5 will see it.

None of this matters without release dates.

So it begins.

Nice to see Sony shifting away from the well trodden 3rd person story driven action game.

Sony could really do with a solid MP game. Especially after Destruction All Stairs.

What's the bad news, bud?

Jimbo wasn't lying ...

---

PlayStation definitely needs some multiplayer games in their portfolio.

tc's sexual obsession with that ugly figure head is cringe.

He's right. He will release all the Sony exclusive till now on PC then claim those 1-2 PS5 exclusives are more than 0. :D

judging from their posts, cows don't care about games that release after 2022 so it doesn't matter.. 🤷‍♂️

jims lying ryan

generations

hah

Fingers crossed. This year is not looking too good however.

Oh NOW it's okay to "just wait" for the games.

I hope it's true but JR is honestly your standard corporate douche.

Pretty much this^^^ Spencer, Bowser, Ryan, etc are all just corporate figureheads. Does that make them terrible people? Of course not, but they're going to naturally praise what their companies do, and exaggerate for shareholders. That's business.

@hardwenzen: Returnal is not heating up lems.....Cows are hyping it beyond belief, and lems are giggling again.

Lems are dead inside wishing they had a single game to hype up this year...or next.

@NathanDrakeSwag: We’re not that insecure....there’s so many games constantly added to gamepass that we don’t have time to make hopeful threads about future games coming to the xsx.

I’ll leave that to you. Funny how you used to giggle at lems for saying “Just wait, the games are coming...”

Tables? Turned.

Here's an idea: get both systems, go play them and get away from the internet. hahaha

Lol cows love exclusivity.

I believe the technical term is 'windbag'

Those sexual fantasies about the man and an unhealthy obsession with Spencer really do get you worried after a while.

So only MS games that are years away is bad, and yet Sony's years away games are good lol.

Can cows get anymore hypocritical if they tried?
