Gran Turismo 7 and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart could be releasing much sooner than originally thought. This would give the PS5 a much greater start than the PS4
If they're not launch, what is?
Spider-Man and Horizon?
I know what you mean but I think they have multiple teams now if I'm not mistakenI'd like to believe but this is Polyphony Digital we're talking about.
Sports games do it every yearNo way GT Sport is still going strong Sony would shut off the GT Sport Server like they did Driveclub before releasing GT7 to get the max playerbase instead of having them divided between GT Sport and GT 7.
Sony has money now.... it's not 2013 PlayStation. They can buy exclusivity on any game or buy out studios or publishers if needed in an extreme.No way. Even though I am hyped for the PS5 I have very low expectations for the first 6-12 month of a new console.

We should be much more confident in them this generation.
In the case of GT7, they can outsource car models...
I think it won't happen because they would have announced the release date.
I understand they may have skipped the date because due to covid aren't sure about possible related delays, but I think it's more likely that they will be released next year. I don't think Insomniac would release 2 games in a month, they'd prefer to spread them over time to provide enough social media and marketing attention to both. And regarding GT... it's GT, which means they take time.
Yes, they will have a stacked first year or two..... they have lots of first party and 3rd party exclusives lined up.
Horizon definitely isn't launch. I'm thinking another year.
Horizon is targeting 2021, they announced in a video not long after the reveal.
I'd be happy enough if it came in the first 6 months or so. January or February would be ideal...To be honest I half expected GT7 at launch. The online portion would just be a prettier version of Sport, it could even be cross-play with GT Sport for online if they kept the frame rate limited to 60 FPS. They would only need to concentrate on ai for the campaign, new tracks, cars etc.. old cars from Sport could be updated fairly quickly I would imagine. No reason why new tracks couldn't also find their way into sport without RT etc.. However the fact that Ratchet is also dated for Dec places more doubt. The chances they have BOTH that and Spidey ready for launch? Not likely.
I also think Spider-man and Ratchet and Clank are probably more spread out but if any studio could pull off such a crazy move, it's Insomniac GamesTo be honest I half expected GT7 at launch.

Whew. It does go along with what Sony has been saying too. They said they're doubling down on big budget games
They also said they have more games in production than ever and exclusives are more important than ever
That would be the best launch window PS has ever had with just those 3 alone, for me personallyThts my thought launch will be either Spiderman, GT or Ratchet or two of the three and that'll be my magical launch for now I'd be very very happy!!!

This is true too. Sony were quiet about next gen for so long and still had great games releasingThy also been preparing of this launch season way ahead of schedule from all the info we've been getting through the years and the dev kits being around early.
I don't care about racing games, but I'd love Ratchet and Clank to come out this early. It seems like a perfect first game to play on PS5.
You might be right but it's definitely not too far fetched broIt ain’t happening brother
Pretty much. Seems like devs have had PS5 devkits for a while. Wasn't the devkit patent from November 2018? So at least some devs have been fooling around with them since then, and that's not counting any early work done on PC comparable setups or earlier devkits.Thy also been preparing of this launch season way ahead of schedule from all the info we've been getting through the years and the dev kits being around early.
Strange enough that I keep getting the vibe that Sony is trying to get back to the PS2 days were they had boatloads of games and yeah Gran Turismo 7 near launch would make me too happyA numbered GT at/near launch gives me PS2 vibes. GT3 A-Spec sold the PS2 to me. Hope it turns out to be true.
Yep, it was said that the 1st PS5 prototype was released by Sony to developers Nov 2018 and there was an updated SDK sent out last summerPretty much. Seems like devs have had PS5 devkits for a while.
