Well, that's disrespectful, ignorant and arrogant from them.

Thank god we don't have it either. You can keep those incomplete games. We play on consoles to have complete games ready and finished.

Says who again?

It'd be great if PS4 had a lot of game trials like PS3 did

Gamingshit strike again!

I'm not a fan of this business model anyway. It seems to generate perpetually unfinished games almost exclusively, while asking people to pay to beta test it. Xbox can have them. Bring it to PS4 if and when it's ever actually finished.

This was 1 of the 22 exclusives revealed at E3 for Xbox

Worked well for Elite Dangerous imo

Your loss lol

mate. if you honistly beleieve its benifiscual to not go with what the majorty of people own console wise thats fine but dont cry when u go the way of Viseral games.

Wel looking at steam and a lot of these games are "asset games". Just quickly put together to earn money. They aren't real fun, so thank you for going elsewhere. We will see them in a year or so...

Can't say I miss this feature. The only feature I miss is a wishlist and a proper refund policy.

Yep its a good program. Really enjoy ark and we happy few and slime rancher. got to try them out then invested em for super cheap now there all full games coming cant wait to play pubg and day z in the program And many others like deep rock G this program is really good for indie and smaller devs to get support and get there game going all gamers should want tbis tbose who dont just seem to be fanboys fighting for a cause to cut off there nose

*looks at ARK*
Yea no thanks

Whenever I play an incomplete game and know it's incomplete the feeling of buggines that accompanies it doesn't leave my head and even if I enjoy the concept I can't bring my self to precise the complete edition on release

Added to the list of games I won't be buying.

Thanks for this, Sony!

who?...

Oh no! What will PS4 owners play this holiday?

That's their decision. Maybe releasing it on the console with around 1200 games and avoiding the one with around 1800 games is a smart move anyway. Less competition that way maybe?

Game preview on Xbox is pretty unique. But it's a crappy reason to skip out on an almost 65 million player base. I can't release my game in an incomplete state so no deal? Don't think PS4 is hurting for games regardless.

I miss the 360 days when everything has a demo. I never trusted the media so I’m just flying blind now.

I learned my lesson on Ark had it from the start of Ps4 early acess build up an almighty base on pve stuffed it wit mut dinos we took months breeding. For Ark devs to crap on us come full release and make are server legacy we where on 173 ps4 so didnt get wiped. But no offical support and ddosers having a party unplayable. Thats what early acess means load of broken promises. We abandoned the base and just quit dino cap reached. Ingots 4 weeks in our safes and are warehouse stacked with every resourse you could find in the game. Cba with early acess on console .

As an Xbox fanboy often on the other end of this I'm coming to Playstation's aid here: Stop posting these crap gamingbolt troll stories where they ask some 2-bit indie developer living in his mom's basement to say something critical about Xbox or Playstation and why they are throwing in their lot with one over the other. In either situation good riddance to them, we have quite enough shovelware on all platforms.

I love that Xbox runs a preview program. It allows gamers to help devs shape the development of the game to the point that it hopefully becomes a better game. Currently playing Ghost of a Tale...fantastic titles

slow news day, uh? I don't even know who are these people and what's their game. I hope for them it's good and will get the support it deserves, wherever it comes out. But the excuse to avoid one of the platforms... seems a bit weak. But whatever.

1) who are these guy again?
Not to say that they are wrong or right but I doubt that gamers will rush to purchase a Xbox1 because an unknown indy dev decided to release their game exclusively on it.

2) Before bashing Steam Early access, just a reminder that 2 of the most popular game exist because of this.
Minecraft
Players Unknown Battlegrounds

Here's the thing and yes exclusive games are the main factor for me when buying a console and I love indie games but the games that are never finished and are bare bones those are the exclusives that I pass on. The PS4 isn't hurting for exclusives software and out of the sixty games I have thirty of them are exclusive and there's more coming. Again articles with devs and games I don't care about LOL. Let me know when it's someone of relevance or a must play title.

Super surprised that this is a gamingbolt article...

Its cool rather not pay for half complete broken games.

Meh, less sh*tty games is always a good thing.

Well I wont look into the developer here until they announce it coming to ps4 when their so called game is complete, and thats the only way i'll look into the game AND the developer. So tough luck on them

"There are many games that skip out on a release on the PS4 and go with an exclusive release on the Xbox One instead". Really? Maybe you ought to explain clearly from the outset that PS4 does not allow devs to make money off incomplete games is the reason why. But then the writer of the Microsoft favourite GamingBolt has an agenda to talk up Xbox and make it appear that gamers are losing out with the PS4 when it is actually the opposite.

Devs of note make games for the PS4, period. They find the money, make the game and then release it. They release it on the PS4 because it is only on this console (at least until the arrival of Switch) that they are likely to sell enough units to either make a profit ar at least sell enough to survive and go on to bigger and better things. (Before Xbox gamers yell 'Cuphead', that game has sold more on Steam and Microsoft has not released figures of how many sold on Xbox. Besides, that game is so good it would sell on any console). Devs like Ghost Ship want to complete the game with gamers money - money that they want before completing and delivering the game that they have promised or at the very least a decent game. In my experience where the dev has no exposure and the only person who can lose out is the gamer, the latter is what usually happens - either with a poor game or in some cases the game takes a long time to arrive and in some cases is never finished.

I hope Sony does not change the policy on unfinished games. There is some much garbage on Steam, I would rather the same not happen on the PS4.

In other words we want to be paid for our unfinished crap game and theres no way we can do that on Sony's system. Better if Sony "skips" anything Ghost Ship Games develops.

Can smell a Failingbolt article based only on its title these days. Obscure dev + clickbait angle. Every time. Try it. So pathetic.

That's one of the positives of PS4, lack of early access. Is a mess; unless gamers can get a refund for say early access games, have the contact information from game developers, etc. then early access would be good. I hope Sony says to game developers/ publishers screw your early access crap and does not fall like it did with easy to develop games. Now that consoles offer the same hardware/architecture as PC, there has been a lack of unique, creative, push the game envelope forward type of games. Proving gaming journalists, fanboys, and know it alls wrong (easy to develop games = more unique games in quantity and quality).

Cos i love playing unfinished games...

To be fair didn't stop Ark....didn't stop 7 days to die....

That's bs ark was out b4 release so was smite he ll fortnite out in early access keep your trash unfinished game Playstation got more than enough

Says who?

If the developers have a game worth investing in, then they would have no problem in finding real investors, and not trying to rip off gamers. I'm never going to support early access.

It's bad enough with all the DLC's and micro transactions ruining games.

Søren Lundgaard can kiss my a**

Joke article ? I can't really tell...

Said it before and say it again. Ark, astroneer, elite, path of exile, long dark, and otherd have been a huge boon to my xbox experience. Along with PC ports with early releases is vastly underestimated with xbox. It's a major selling point to me the PC integration. Sony needs to change this as it's a buyers market and not a companies decision what you may want to enjoy. Early access is great and cheap!

This is not the right way to beg for PlayStation market.

I checked this N4G preview page to see if my suspicion about the source was true, and it is confirmed. Another anti-Sony article from Gamingbolt, a website well known for its biased, anti-Sony garbage articles. People, don't give Gamingbolt the clicks, if you do you're just supporting more of their trolling articles. Just say NO to Trollingbolt!

sure you can do Game Previews on PSN: the term is "Demo" though...

Typical GamingBolt article. Sigh.

"There are many games that skip out on a release on the PS4 and go with an exclusive release on the Xbox One instead. These are all smaller games- titles for which extra sales that the PS4's larger install base might afford would be helpful. And yet, there are many that only release on Xbox One aynaya

Typical fanboy bullshi.. i find it very hard to believe this is the case.

This will not be missed.

Guess they dont like money. Whatever
