Do we actually have confirmation that all of these are planned for the 1st year of PS5?
People keep saying Playstation 2 had a good lineup... did it? Because that’s not what I remember.
I do agree that fall 2001 was friggin’ epic: FFX, GT3, MGS2, GTA3, Ico, Silent Hill 2, Devil May Cry, and Jak and Daxter.

PlayStation Launch Titles | GameGrin
Since the PlayStation was the first ‘big’ console of Generation Z, who can remember which games were released on the...www.gamegrin.com
People keep saying Playstation 2 had a good lineup... did it? Because that’s not what I remember.
I do agree that fall 2001 was friggin’ epic: FFX, GT3, MGS2, GTA3, Ico, Silent Hill 2, Devil May Cry, and Jak and Daxter.
He's definitely said it on stage the past few E3s. He's just talking generally about xbox.But they release a new console every 7 years....how does that work then chief?
But you have to admit that having Spiderman and Demon Souls as launch titles would be pretty interesting. And then we have to see if Sony managed to nab any third party exclusives at launch as well.
Well informed people don't need to wait for confirmation on things. Those games have been in development for several years now.Do we actually have confirmation that all of these are planned for the 1st year of PS5?
Spider-Man alone is probably the best launch game they've ever had.
What they have shown had been Pretty average so far. I don't know wtf he's talking about.
Show dont tell and if you dont have gameplay to show, just stfu.
"Can I play any of these games? Is there at least reviews for those titles?" No, of course you cannot play those games or check the reviews because we are talking about upcoming titles. What kind of point are you trying to make by asking that stupid question?Can I play any of these games? Is there at least reviews for those titles?
Why are you so defensive?
Don't get me wrong I'm getting PS5 day one, and for the upgrades to games I love alone I think it will be a great acquisition, but c'mon now, believing marketing departments is just naive.
Don't just look at it their own internal studios
Out of the 8 first party games they've revealed, 4 of them are being developed by third-party studios.
That PS2 launch won't be beaten any time soon.
True, Sony has always had its share of "2nd Party" activity. They've been more weak on this side than usual IMO (especially since they don't have to support an "extra pillar" of a portable PlayStation anymore... RIP Vita,) but recently they've had Predator: Hunting Grounds, MediEvil, ReadySet Heroes, Erika, some VR stuff like Iron Man VR, Blood & Truth, and Tilt Brush, and even the AAA contract project Death Stranding.)
And while 2020 had a one-two megaton punch with TLoU2 and Ghost of Tsushima, their offices have otherwise been pretty quiet for a while now. I think a lot of us assumed Sony had so few PS4 games in the pipe (their 2020 line-up was basically the only games left from their 2018&2019 E3s) because they've been stacking up PS5 games, and the list we've seen shows some of that, but not enough to really feel like a hoarder's paradise.
So, while we're talking about it, we might as well list Sony's studios...
ALREADY PART OF PS5 LINE-UP
PS5 LINE-UP PLANS TO COME
- Insomniac Games:
- Has Spider Man Miles Morales in 2020 launch and Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart in 2021-ish
- Released Stormland VR in 2019 (and a Magic Leap game?!), Spider-Man in 2018.
- Workhorse studio if there ever was one, might they have MORE to come? (Stormland seems perfect for PS5VR.)
- Guerrilla Games:
- Has Horizon Forbidden West in 2021.
- Released Horizon Zero Dawn in 2017 and a PC port in 2020.
- Does it have the staff for a second game?
- Japan Studio:
- Has Astro's Playroom in 2020 launch by ASOBI Team and Demons' Soul contracted to Bluepoint in 2020/2021.
- Released Knack 2 and LocoRoco 2 Remastered in 2017.
- Internal studios have been painfully quiet for so, so long (Puppeteer and Knack 1 were in 2013, and Team Silent's Gravity Rush 2 was in 2017, ASOBI Team's Astro Bot Rescue Mission in 2018) and hopefully they have bigger plans under new boss Nicolas Doucet?
- SIE Japan often is a producer with outside developers (Acquire and ClapHanz and Pyramid and Q-Games Alfa System are frequent collaborators, also Bluepoint, who are the collab team for DS,) and maybe they have some of those projects to come for PS5? (Japan Studio used to be the heavy supporter of portable games, and it was hoped that after Vita those efforts would pivot to console/VR, but that never seemed to happen last-gen unfortunately.) Also note that Japan usually holds its cards until TGS-time in Sept even when games launch that year, so there's possibly a few more PS5 games from Japan Studio, or maybe they'll stick around and be the PS4 after-care arm of Sony?
- Polyphony Digital:
- Has Gran Turismo 7 indeterminate release date.
- Released Gran Turismo Sport in 2017.
- Unlikely to have further projects for immediate future.
- Bend Studio:
- Released Days Gone in 2019.
- Not a big studio and not historically prolific. Maybe has Days Gone Enhanced / Expansion to come? Also may be busy with a PC port, as that's Sony's playbook right now.
- London Studio:
- Released Blood & Truth PSVR in 2019, SingStar Celebration in 2017.
- Used to be one of Sony's big-three production arms (both internal and contract development,) but seems to have fallen off a cliff after its PS3 run (and even then, it's big projects 8 Days and The Getaway PS3 dissolved.) Was often the "Casual Games" studio with SingStar and EyePet and DanceStar and WonderBook, we'll see if they go back to that well again.
- Does a lot of the internal prototype-type projects (EyeToy, PlayStation Home, PlayStation VR Worlds,) maybe they're doing some interface/backend work again?
- Media Molecule:
- Released Dreams in 2020, Tearaway Unfolded in 2015.
- Has got to be working on Dreams for PS5, maybe even for PC.
- Naughty Dog:
- Released The Last of Us Part II in 2020, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy in 2017.
- Not the type to have multiple projects in heavy works at the same time, but they do make stand-alone expansions, so maybe a story add-on ala Lost Legacy or The Last of Us: Left Behind (both released one year later) are in order, if not a full Multiplayer add-on/side-game. Also TLoU2 enhancements are likely.
- Pixelopus:
- Released Concrete Genie in 2019, Entwined in 2014.
- Small studio. Genie was already a huge step up in scope, seems unlikely they have more new stuff for a little while?
- San Diego Studio:
- Released MLB The Show in 2020, 2019, 2018...
- Surely has MLB The Show PS5 in the works.
- San Mateo Studio:
- Has never released anything. This is more of a Producer's Hub, where they hire contract studios and manage projects (sometimes creatively, sometimes just time&money) from afar. They are, as described on the official page, "The core collaborators."
- Their PS4 project contracts have included Counterspy, Helldivers and Farpoint VR, as well as many other projects not credited to SIE San Mateo/Foster City, like probably Predator and ReadySet. They could be shopping for PS5 partners to do similar things...
- Santa Monica Studio:
- Released God of War PS4 in 2018, God of War Ascension in 2013.
- Supposedly has God of War PS5 in the works.
- Sucker Punch Productions:
- Released Ghost of Tsushima in July
- Has a multiplayer Ghost of Tsushima feature coming out for PS4; PS5 version of GoT likely.
Demon and Spiderman had no gameplay and ratcet and kena gameplay looked pretty mediocre. nothing to jerk off to. the rest are current gen games that this sony guy isnt talking about.- Spiderman: MM
- Demon Souls: Remake
- Kena
- Rachet and Clank
- CyberPunk
- AC: Vahalla
- Plus more 3rd party games
That looks great to me, so far.
The game has been rated in both Japan and Korea. It is probably coming out at launch.
I've been traumatized enough from Phil's lies, so...
Best lineup in the history™ ... That's a patented Spencer statement.
Phil on the phone to his copyright lawyers as we speak...
I mean it expected what else is he gone to say our lineup is shit don't bother to buy the PS5 at launch or something like that lol no they all hype up the company they worked for.So, a remake of an old game and glorified expansion and that's best lineup?
This guy sounds like Phil. And not in a good way
Don't want to argue, but since when are Ratchet, Returnal and gt7 confirmed for first year?Astrobot
Returnal
Destruction AllStars
Demon's Souls
Spiderman
GT7
Ratchet and Clank
Horizon: Forbidden West
In terms of first-party content for the first year, yeah it's up there.
Demon and Spiderman had no gameplay and ratcet and kena gameplay looked pretty mediocre. nothing to jerk off to. the rest are current gen games that this sony guy isnt talking about.
they need to show games and when i saw show, i mean gameplay. and it better look better than the ratchet gameplay.
Really? so is Demon Souls Remake, Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Zero Dawn 2, and Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart lauching day 1 with the PS5 if not than hell to the no lol
Don't want to argue, but since when are Ratchet, Returnal and gt7 confirmed for first year?
They spent a lot of money = they secured a lot of third party exclusives as I understand.It's all guesswork obviously. Given the extensive demo for Ratchet, the development time for Returnal, and 2021 is around the time for a new GT, it's not outlandish to assume they'll be out for the first year.
Imran has said they've spent a lot of money to make sure they have a big first year.
They spent a lot of money = they secured a lot of third party exclusives as I understand.
I don't know why they would bother to pay Bethesda big money if they have their own exclusives ready.
