What are you talking about? Most of those games aren't exclusive to PS5, maybe just Ratched and Clank. Every other game will come on other platforms or won't be released within the year like Ragnarok.

The thread is about best launch year, not launch day. So for PS2 you have to consider GTA3, MGS2, Silent Hill 2, Ico, Gran Turismo 3, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy 10 etc

That game was made by a team of 4 people.
God, it was awful too. I still fondly look back though.

That would mean that all of those studios then wouldn't have anything for the PS5 for at least 3 yrs!
The drought would be real

Definitely no where near the best. Maybe most of the commenters here weren't alive during ps2, DC, GC, etc launches?

Same goes for all of 6th gen really.

Lol god of war and especially GT7 aren’t 2021. If God of War is 2021 then it’s not a PS5 exclusive either, it’ll be on PS4.
So no. The answer is no.

Post it up and we can compare
DC Had probably the best launch month ever, well UK and USA. Dreamcast Japan was awful. Same as PS2, but I can remember the USA year I believe had MGS2, FFX, Onimusha etc. But I woudn’t say God of War Ragnarok, Demon Souls, Horizon and FF16 are any less
These are all within 365 days of launch in NA. Feel free to add to the list.
DC:
NFL 2K (This was a big deal at the time!)
Power Stone 1 & 2
SoulCaliber (ignore arcade version)
SF III
RE: Code Veronica
Jet Grind Radio
Sonic Adventure
Shenmue
Marvel vs Capcom 2 (came much later on PS2)
Crazy Taxi (came over a year later on other platforms)
PS2:
Tekken Tag Tournament
Onimusha (Xbox basically 1 year later)
Red Faction (console exclusive)
Twisted Metal: Black
Klonoa 2
Ico
GTA III (console exclusive for 2 years)
Devil May Cry
GCN:
Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2
Pikmin
Star Wars: Rogue Leader
SSB: Melee
Animal Crossing
REmake
Eternal Darkness
Super Mario Sunshine
Star Fox Adventures
Metroid Prime

Actually the title of this thread is relatively short...
WOOSH!
Typically when we talk about game consoles we talk about the LAUNCH WINDOW(a month or so) or the LAUNCH(what is out when the machine comes out) itself.
"Moving the bar" is referring to how far you had to push that to try and make a point/justify your PS5 purchase to yourself and was seeking external acknowledgement of that.
Both consoles have a bad launch day, and even "window" to expand it to "launch year" is really something.

Thanks for your contribution.
Exactly, it's far too early to make this call, it's a real stretch.
What we can actually comment on, is that this Gen is off to a weak start for non-cross gen content(ie. Gen exclusive content)
This is another pie in the sky wisher, grasping at straws, crystal ball thread.
A good time for this thread is probably mid-way into next year, when we've seen HALF of this launch year.

Damn DMC came out before MGS2 And FFX? I need to go back to memory lane and get my facts right. And Shen Mue the Same year?
Ill say FF16, God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, Ratchet, Demon Souls etc is better than PS2.
But DC Is pretty impressive and hard to beat, even though SF3 and Code Veronica came out on PS2.
And same for GC, I didnt remember GC being so good 1st year. You forgot Luigi’s Mansion which I loved

Uh no!!
Spider-Man: Miles Morales ---sequel
Demon’s Souls----remake
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart---sequel
God of War: Ragnarök----sequel
Horizon: Forbidden West----sequel
Gran Turismo 7---sequel
Returnal-----Ok
Sackboy: A Big Adventure----sequel
Final Fantasy XVI (Probably 2022 or later, but who knows?)---remake
A year of remakes and sequels does not make up a good year. Seriously? Are you 13?

Since when are sequels lesser than new IP’s? And how is FFXVI a remake? Seriously? Are you 10?

I actually just watched a short review/let's play of it a few days ago because I haven't thought of it in forever. Such a weird weird game.
Makes me want to poop my pants. So good.
Look pretty fucking good tbh

Launch year? Headlined by a remake of a PS3 game and a remaster of a two year old PS4 game? Nah, not even close, OP.
Nintendo 64 had, in its first year:
OG Xbox had, in its first year:
Now, obviously the PS5's first year isn't finished done yet, so there's likely to be more surprises before November 2021, but up against just the above? PS5 is already last place. It's certainly got a more packed first year than the Xbox Series X - which is literally launching without a single first party title. So, hey, there's that.

Looking across the launch titles, Ubisoft is having the best launch out of anyone (or at least 2020 titles anyway).
I plan on getting:
Watchdog Legions
Assassins Creed Valhalla
Immortals Fenyx Rising
Godfall
Demons Souls
Spider-Man
Devil May Cry 5
3/7 are Ubisoft which is really crazy

With Sony’s recent deceptive marketing, that could easily mean a full reveal will be made in 2021
An announcement of an official announcement if you will, all the rage now a days.
if Horizon 2 isn’t due till holiday and that’s had a full trailer why would you assume a teaser would lead to the release in that same time frame.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Sizzling lineup genres spread out, maybe a game of the year in Spider-Man.
You're list is inaccurate. No FF XVI, Spiderman MM and others arent ps5 exclusives.
Even if the list was accurate......NO
I think the first year, accurate list wise, looks pathetic myself

PS2 (in NA) had a much stronger launch and launch window lineup than PS5.
Armored Core 2
DOA2: Hardcore
Dynasty Warriors 2
Gun Griffon Blaze
Kessen
Midnight Club
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2
Ridge Racer V
Silent Scope
Smuggler's Run
SSX
Street Fighter EX3
Tekken Tag Tournament
TimeSplitters
Unreal Tournament
Wild Wild Racing
This is not even the full list of PS2 launch titles. Those are just the ones that I felt were the best.

Have you played these games yet to get to this conclusion?

Only way GoW 2 hits in 2021 is if it’s cross gen like horizon, dunno if that’s a good thing or not.

I misread it. Didn't realize this was just about exclusives. I'll leave this here as a reminder. Of my screwup.

Wow u guys really get an inch and go a mile..it’s probably one of the worst launch lineups to be honest as most of those games don’t have dates and one of them would be lucky to make ps6 launch
Best launch of all time goes to the Super Nintendo and Mario world
it was backed up with a number of really great titles in the first 6 months ....castlevania/final fight/pilotwings off the top of my head
2nd place was definitely xbox and halo....you bought the console just to play it... outside of Nintendo consoles no other console did this
3rd place was Dreamcast...it had a really launch titles and for the time they were a step change to what was on the market.
PlayStations historically have shit launch lineups...ps4 you had 2 years of indies and mediocre first party...ps3 was also the same
ps2/ps1 it’s really hard to gauge as living in aus the release dates on games were all over the place but there were also some pretty big droughts of games and some absolute banger months on games

You are just inventing scenarios in your head and pretending they are facts
The trailer says 2021, period

Sorry I saw it as FFVII remake. Still it's a sequel. But If you don't get new IP's and stick to safe sequels then the industry won't thrive. Sure, some of these game will sell millions ...but really does Fortnite (game that sells billions) advance the gaming industry at all? Other than lining the publishers pockets and get every other publisher to want copy cat games. It's been getting really bad. Look at all consoles 'new releases' lists for 2020 and 2021. LOTS of the same stuff.

OP is including games within 1 year of launch. I’d include Blast Corps and Goldeneye.

Tekken Tag Tournament trash? Damn I enjoyed the hell out of the game. I ended up playing that more than Tekken 3. Tekken bowl was tons of fun too. Kessen took me a little time getting into. Fantavision is the one I barely played.
