Aai jaai. The shareholders may not be majority Japanese, but the execs certainly are.

Some games are better not made. Days Gone was nothing more than "alright" for me. The rest though, I agree.
You yourself argued that these sort of titles are drawcards for the console and the "health" of it. I bought a PS4 for an exclusive. I bought a PS5 for an exclusive. I am sure millions have done the same. The cost shouldn't matter to the console owner, that is a matter for Sony to handle.
Not arguing. But Sony gets crapped on for spending 200M dollars on Spiderman, and then crapped on for not spending....
I should have added that these games take years to develop these days - and Sony does have finite resources. ANd who knows what is secretly under development or being considered?
On the other hand, even if there had been zero exclusives this gen, I still would have bought the PS5 for the improvements over the PS4.
And I actually still have a lot of exclusives to play. D4 and Borderlands 4 are time-sinks.
Sony PlayStation digital game ownership lawsuit
Four California buyers sued Sony in 2026, alleging the PlayStation Store's "Buy Now" button does not sell digital games, only licenses them.

When you do own your games but also don't own your games...
Calling it now after this lawsuit your next PSN purchase is going to say "Rent' instead of "Buy"
No, it will say "purchase licence".Sony PlayStation digital game ownership lawsuit

Yeah reckon Skill-up lost their Sony access card for that one. IGN isn't any better.
Very disappointing, still going to play it, but I reckon after this and my disappointment with Spiderman 2, I might be done with Insomniac games for now.

I suspect both games where mostly done during the Sweet baby years. I remember Wolverine even had missions where you play as Mary Jane just 2 years ago. So this game is dropping mid correction phase.
WIll see if/when the next game drop.
A Meta in the 70's for a first party Sony Studio means no bonusses for them and no number 2 for you.
Ask Days Gone how their funding request went...

I watched the Skill Up review for Wolverine and it really put me off.
The blue line that marks where you need to go - in a linear level. The side levels where you pretty much hold forward and push jump occasionally. The secrets that are lit up like the beacons of Gondor. There is so much hand holding there, and I am a big fan of games that are on rails.
I might wait to see if they can set things right with a patch, but I still wonder what other problems there are.
I felt like the Spiderman games suffered heavily from open world syndrome - I had hoped a linear game would be a step up for them.
I do want to say that Starfield has a Metacritic score of 83, and there is no chance in hell that Wolverine is worse than Starfield. So I don't trust the scoring too much.

OI!!!
I Enjoyed Starfield, but I suspect unlike most I know what I was getting in to re load screens and such.
Only thing they should have done was fake load like Star Wars Outlaws, and also make it that you could only join one faction at a time, and reset only when you enter NG+ with dialog/missions to suite
Example: If you UAC, then Freestar dont want anything to do with you or if you join Crimson fleet you could not join Ryujin Industries. Kinda stupid to be able to join all of them at same time.
Yeah my plan is to wait so that they can patch out the more egregious hand-holdy stuff, obviously the fundamental issues cant really be fixed.
Ultimately not worth the R1500, not in today's climate. I was also really looking forward to it but will keep my money for now and see if it pops up in PS+ in a year or so.
