Yes please it’s time for a physical vs. digital discussion.

I feel like at the end of the day it’s all subjective like everyone has they’re own preference . There is no right or wrong

I am very pro digital but I do believe there is a place for physical.  So I see both sides of the coin.  I just feel that the arguments of which is better are fucking null and void because both are one in the same with their own caveats.

Plus as long as they keep putting out physical MGS stuff, I will keep buying it lol.

On the other hand GameStop ceases to exist post-digital. Which world would you rather live in?

GameStop is the reason I was able to get a copy of 50Cent blood on the sand for $15 instead of paying trumped up eBay prices. That place has its pros and cons.

I’m buying a PlayStation 5 and haven’t been in this ecosystem since PS3 days. I must have had a PlayStation 4 at some point because i played Until Dawn and the Last of Us.

Anyways, any multiplatform game i will purchase on Xbox because it’s my preference, but i know the exclusives are incredible. I’ve googled a couple lists and bought or wishlist accordingly.

Does anybody have any PlayStation exclusive hidden gems that aren’t so well known?

This is what i bought without even having a console yet:
Killzone Shadow Fall™
UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End & UNCHARTED: The Lost Legacy Digital Bundle
Bloodborne™
Heavy Rain
Journey™ Collector’s Edition
Dreams™
Days Gone
Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition
Concrete Genie

I don't have anything against digital, I just want there to be the option of physical. That way if people want digital, they can get digital, and if they want physical, they can get physical.

This. I will sadly be skipping Alan Wake 2 because I don't want to show my support for digital only.

I can respect that

[Hypebeast69]

I just keep thinking of Sonys shot at Xbox for deciding to not be able to share used games which led to them not going through with it. I think the real future is, being able to share or sell a digital game whenever, wherever with anyone. Not talkin about gameshare.

[mr.Dobalina]

Digital 4 lyfe. I’m all for digital only. I haven’t bought physical in years. No clutter, way more streamlined and so much easier to purchase goods. I may be an outlier (or not) but I won’t be missing physical goods when it comes to discs.

Detroit: Become Human is always omitted on the lists of amazing Sony exclusives. It's by the same developer that made Heavy Rain, and is easily their best work. Detroit is like a Telltale game except your choices can change the story dramatically. There may be a demo. I know there is one on Steam.

I dunno if you like racing games but the Wipeout Collection is one of the all-time greatest racers. Also has Perhaps also one of the best soundtracks compiled for a video game too. Just an absolute classic that I played thru on vita, ps3, ps4 and psvr. I’m kind of done with playstation at this point, but if they ever announce a new Wipeout game I would probably have to seriously consider getting a ps5.

Rainbow Moon and Rainbow Skies are pretty cool retro-inspired rpgs. Both have a huge world to explore, solid tactical battles, and nice graphics and music. Just chill games.

The Knowledge is Power games are my favorite trivia games. Really beautiful graphics that look handcrafted and like claymation. I know graphics aren’t the first thing ppl think about when they think of trivia games, but it’s legitimately one of the most visually pleasing games I’ve ever played. And it’s really fun in multiplayer.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is also fun in multiplayer. Plays like a a great Nintendo co-op 3D platformer. Incredibly underrated.

[soonerdoc]

All this discussion of physical vs. digital is pretty much a moot point. It’s already happened and isn’t going to slow down. The publishers and platform holders have literally NO REASON whatsoever financially to continue to with physical games. 
 

They don’t have to print copies that go unsold. 
They don’t have to make deals with retailers. 
They don’t have to share income from digital sales. 
They completely control price as there is nowhere else to get the game. 
 

Even if they continue to produce special editions, they will start coming with a steel book and code like many already do.

Idiots have been posting this for 10 years.   "Zomg the death of physical media!"

 

In fact it was this kind of attitude that completely sunk Microsoft all the way back in 2013.  They haven't made a full recovery since then.  Here we are, all these years later, and nearly half of game sales are still physical.  Regardless of those of you that like to post this pointlessly bigoted flamebait. 

 

Nvm that vinyl is back in stores, books have made a GIANT comeback, and there are all kinds of 4K's, blu-rays, and anime to order.  Specialty media is doing just fine tyvm.   Regardless that you sit on your ass at home ordering Door Dash, while punching your dork to Netflix, and buying digital games + MTXs with no idea what is going on outside your own bubble.

I’d say check these out too if you’re looking for console exclusives, depending on your gaming preferences. Most are first party titles that I didn’t see on your list. Including both PS5 and PS4 games (since the PS5 console plays both). Some were mentioned in posts above, and I’ve repeated those mainly in agreement and/or personal experience. There aren’t as many exclusive, smaller games in this list, since most indie developers try to port their games to as many platforms as possible. I did try to include a few, though in those cases, it was likely ported to PC as well. In any case, hope it helps—you’ll have plenty of good stuff to experience!

You all are awesome, this is exactly what i wanted. There’s some hidden gems on this list that weren’t mentioned on best of lists

[bee01]

Dragon’s Crown Pro is a fun beat em up with great artwork.  Can’t go wrong for $4.

[blueweltall]

Supposedly there will be a FFXVI demo releasing soon and progress will carry over to the main game. Early impressions of the games are very positive and some has already said it might be one of the best FF game.

[nitrosmob]

I'll try a demo although FF other than the FF7 Remake (and the being split into multiple games is still lame IMHO) most recent FFs haven't been amazing to me. Not talking the MMO ones since I don't usually play those. FFXV was kind of boring to me, and this looks most similar to FFXV. I'm going in whatever though since mainline FF games don't come out as often. The newest trailer was so confusing story wise other than crystals helping and harming and we don't need your help.

[whitereflection]

To enjoy FFXV, you have to watch this short movie, which shows what would happen if Noctis went on his journey alone without his friends. That's what the game should have been since they don't add anything to the game.

You have to watch the CG movie Kingsglaive, which is frequently on YouTube for free supported with ads, but currently isn't. The Kingsglaive are refugee and immigrant soldiers who fight for Insomnia because they want to push back Nifelheim from their own homelands. The multiplayer expansion, Comrades, continues their story, which imo is much more interesting than Noctis's. You can play solo since there are bots, and it's kind of like Monster Hunter.

If you’re a fan of the older FF4 and FF6 titles (those of the SNES era), I played a smaller game recently that at times gave me similar feelings of enjoyment back when I was a kid. Game’s called Rise of the Third Power, and it’s developed by the team who made Ara Fell (which I’ve yet to play). Fantastic music, fairly solid writing/characters, and a few interesting design twists I hadn’t seen before in other games. Hoping it’s the start of a series for them. After finishing it completely, I popped onto PSNprofiles to discover it had/has sold dismally. Well under a thousand people recorded as players/owners. It’s normally $19.99, but I picked it up for $11.99 back during the holiday season. Easy recommendation at that price or lower—hitting 100% might run 40-50 hours. If you want to see it in action, there’s a handful of smaller review channels on YouTube that covered it.

[samnite]

I didn't mean to start a physical vs digital debate. I think the "Alan Wake 2 being digital only" news is what sparked it this time. I think the gaming companies are testing us as consumers to see if we will put up any resistance to them not making a physical option. I know there are a ton of digital only Indies that get Limited Run physical releases that sell out immediately. However, this is the first AAA game I can recall that will release without a physical option. I don't know if Limited Run would be able to make a physical copy of a AAA game...at least not for a few years after release I guess.

[samnite]

On the other hand GameStop ceases to exist post-digital. Which world would you rather live in?

GameStop is dying a slow death with their new rewards program being the latest evidence. Now that I have cashed out my rewards, I have no reason to shop there outside of a good Black Friday sale.

I would tell you the same thing I would tell anyone that is new to Xbox. Get Game Pass / PS+ Extra. The value shoots up tremendously if are new to the platform and still haven't played many of the games in the catalog yet.

 

Ghost of Tshushima, Kena Bridge of Spirits and Spider-Man Miles Morales. I would start there. I preferred MIles Morales over Spider-Man 2018. If you like MM then go back and play SM 2018.

 

I tried Detroit Become Human but I couldn't really get into it. The game is beautiful though. I really enjoyed Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls.

They have to give 30% last I heard of sales digital wise which is the same everywhere.

The only ones not doing that are first party in house projects.
