How did Sony get this good?

I'm not sure. I know that Red Sun wound up being published by Midway, though.

Now that I think about it, I'm probably getting it mixed up with Wipeout which had Psygnosis Leeds Studios make the third game.

Sony is nowhere near Nintendo's level of talent, but I really do feel SCE has surpassed Sega--both in terms of ability and game quality. Panzer Dragoon Orta looks like a great game, but it seems to be the new exception, and not the rule.

Then again, I don't know if it's that Sony is excelling, as much as it is that Sega is slipping.

i dont know only sony games i own for the last 2 generations i beleive are Gran Turismo and Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec

well i suppose Arc the Lad isnt that a sony game (even though WD brought it here)

though Mark of Kri and SLy Cooper interest me this generation but i havent picked up either yet

[Captain Vegetable]

You haven't played Ico yet, John? Just doesn't interest you?

[Shin Johnpv]

No i played it i found the visualls very appealing and very nice

i found the game its self to kinda leave me feeling meh

i was really psyched for the game till i played it

the previews for it had me drooling like crazy then i played it for a few days and i dont know just didnt connect with me

which i thought was a shame cause i really liked the visuals and art style and i thought the idea of the game was really cool

just for me there was something missing

[Captain Vegetable]

Ah! I suppose that's cool. I like, but when I was playing it, I knew it was one of those games that didn't have mass appeal. I'll admit the control was a bit wonky...but I ignored that because the rest of the game was brilliant.

[Shin Johnpv]

I think Ico and Mark of Kri and Sly Cooper are all really good efforts from sony, and their different dev teams

and while as a developer sony has come a long long long way they still seem to lack something for me, but i have to say they have come along way from their first efforts which is deffintely a good thing

Sony's made three incredible games: Sky Gunner, Elemental Gearbolt, and Tenchu. Not the large track record of either Sega or Nintendo, but some good stuff. Once they amass a sizable collection of games I'll compare them, but until then I still don't really care too much for Sony's in-house games. Doesn't seem Sony does either, since all three of those weren't released by Sony in the US.

Ico would be on my list if it didn't have so much of that annoying fighting, every time another fight came up it just ticked me off. They needed to tone that down heavily and stick more with the peaceful puzzles (like the windmill area).

Sony has never made a game as good as JSRF, which is not even close to Sega's best game.
