Analysis of the release schedule of super products of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo in 2018 (P1)

The games released by the big 3 Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are still the works that gamers expect the most. Currently, quite a few of their super products are being promised to be released in 2018. However, can they launch in time, will anything change at the last minute? Let’s sit down and try to analyze:
​

Sony​

Sony had a great 2017, with a hugely successful product debut Horizon Zero Dawn by studio Guerilla Game; sequel Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Naughty Dog’s has also garnered critical acclaim; even 3rd party products (Sony is only responsible for the release) like Nioh and NieR: Automata They are also in the top of the best games of the year. After that series of successes, 2018 seems to be no less competitive, or even more successful with a series of extremely anticipated plans.
​

In the last few years, Sony has revealed information about the products they are investing in, such as God of War, Days Gone, The Last of Us Part II nice Ghost of Tsushima. All have received a positive reception from the community. Besides, with the company’s cooperation products such as Detroit: Become Human, Death Stranding, Spider-ManShenmue III… It seems that Sony is having an extremely epic line-up for an explosive 2018.
​

The negative side of this plan, is that it seems that we will not see genuine products from Sony this year, or even next year. Of course, the studio will still have unique titles coming from smaller studios (probably a new project from From Software), but the truth is that the PlayStation 4 has been around for more than four years, and most online studios have not been able to do that. Sony has yet to reveal any more about their new games. With the current plan in place, the company’s 2018 has been busy and promising enough. This will also make them more cautious in launching new products, when if game release schedule too dense, they can adversely affect the firm’s profits. So, let’s try to analyze and predict Sony’s release schedule in 2018:

Firstly, PSVR seems to be doing very well, with quite a few small games supporting it, most notably Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. The 2 strategic cards of PSVR in 2018 are Moss and The Inpatient. The two, especially Moss, garnered rave reviews during their demos at E3 2017, really highlighting the quintessence of the “virtual reality” genre. Obviously, along with the two key titles mentioned above, Sony will continuously release smaller products of the PSVR genre throughout the year.
​

Sony’s next strategic card is obviously God of War. According to the schedule, the game will be released next March. With the long track record of the old version, plus what has been shown through the revealed information, it is believed that the reboot version of “God of War” will bring us a “hands-on, done” experience. eye”.
​

Following God of War, Spider-Man will be the next “preemptive blow” that Sony has for gamers. Avengers: Infinity War will be released in May, so Spider-Man will most likely be released in June or July to take full advantage of the film’s effects. In general, we can fully expect the success of this game. Detroit: Become Human will be released before or immediately after “Spider-Man”, because if it is later, the game will be very prone to unnecessary risks.
​

Another game worth mentioning from Sony in 2018 is Shenmue III. According to the most recent trailer, we can see that the game still has a lot of work to be done. Chances are, Shenmue III will be released as early as the end of this year, or even late until 2019. In general, the game will most likely need more time before it can be released properly. complete.
​

Similar to Shenmue III, Days Gone also seems to be late this year, as it is a new IP and needs time to become more familiar to gamers. According to many sources, the game will be released at the end of the year, but if so, it will be difficult to avoid having to “touch” with The Last of Us Part II (there are quite a few similarities between the two). This is definitely something that Sony wants to avoid, so the game with a new IP is likely to be pushed back to 2019.

Although there will be a few changes from the original schedule (which is not the case every year), it is believed that Sony will still reap a lot of success in 2018, with a series of names that promise to make gamers play. crazy.
