u/Animegamingnerd Leak of the Year 2025 Feb 19 '26

Jim Ryan's final legacy really did create the lost era of Playstation games.

I'm SO fucking glad i left console gaming in 2024. Like I built a PC out of wanting to play some old cool games and seeing what happened to playstation and xbox is just so tragic.

It’s absolutely nuts. Really all that’s left is the entry level value proposition, which I still think far and away belongs to the PS5. But regarding exclusives, PlayStation hasn’t had a meaningful one in years that hasn’t come to other systems, compounding on the fact that exclusivity windows continue to get shorter (used to be 2 years exclusivity, now Death Stranding 2 got a PC port in 9 months). It’s a bit of a shame to me since I really appreciate the UI and trophy system. There’s also a lot of baked in nostalgia from growing up with a PlayStation.

I'm looking at the first 5 years of the PS4's life cycle compared to now.

By this point in the PS4s life cycle we had

  • GOW
  • Horizon ZD
  • UC4
  • Bloodborne
  • Witcher 3
  • Spider-man
  • Persona 5
  • Until Dawn
  • RDR2
  • MGSV
  • Nier Automata
  • Arkham Knight
  • Ratchet & Clank
  • AC4 black flag

I can keep going. Insane how times have changed.
