Sony Europe CEO Jim Ryan assured gamers that "There's a lot comng" game-wise for the PlayStation 4.

Ryan said in an interview with Gamesreactor that there are 30 games in development, and 20 of them are going to ship within the first year of the PS4's release date. Of those 20, 12 of which are new franchises.

"So there’s a lot going on, it’s just that we need to keep stuff back. We’ve got Gamescom for us Europeans—we need to have something to show at Gamescom, don’t we," Ryan teased.

The first-party IPs that we know about currently are DriveClub (looks fantastic, plays fantastic), Knack (meh), Killzone: Shadow Fall (looks kinda perty), Infamous: Second Son (more powers, check), and The Order: 1886 (be very excited for this one).

Apparently Sony will be adding to that list at Gamescom, which is taking place between August 21 and 25.

Microsoft stated last month that they would be releasing 15 exclusives for the Xbox One in the first year, with 8 of those being new IPs. Now, Sony has one-upped Microsoft yet again with their announcement of 20 exclusives, with 12 of those being new IPs.

+1 for Sony.

This truly is a console war and Sony are fighting a rather good battle, I will stick with PlayStation like I have done for years, but for me it's all about the final product. Obviously they've got to do their marketing, but I won't read too much into it, I'll wait and see how good the gaming is :hitman:

(Although, I do like everything that I see in Sony's marketing ploy.)

Sony is truly my favorite console, they took a bad hit in the US/UK market last gen, im actually glad they did. they really turned their shit around for next gen. im very very excited to see this new generation almost here. i really could care less about the war between consoles, if people buy the new Xbox then so be it. what will hurt Sony is if their fan base switches over and gets XO.... which i dont really see happening.
MS didnt show me anything i wanted 1st party game wise for me to even think i want one the first year, 75% of the games they showed is coming to PS4 also. they do have titan fall but again that game is blah for me i still think Sony is going to drop one last bomb on us later and release the console earlier than Xbox.

When they announce that it's coming to PS4 first, remember that you heard me say it.

Awesome to hear this thanks, i really hope sony can out do xbox this time, i gotta say its looking good so far.

Now it'll be much easier to get Xbox fanboys to hop off.

You mad Micro$oft?

"I'm buying an xbox one because it has more exclusives and has more value for money"
