Obviously Covid and the impact of the pandemic means we shouldn't run too far with this, but it is worth noting anyway.

Also another little tidbit about the recent SK classification

Between this and the ratings news, if this is a launch window title then that moves PS5 into launch purchase status for me.

With what the tweet is implying, PS5 launch could be 11/20? It's a Friday, would make sense.

Edit: wait nvm the original tweet said it was rated last week and Miles was rated sooner. But a mid-late November launch is practically a given at this point.

question for the curious, what do people mean when they say launch window? is it within the first 3-4 months or are we talking more than that?

Given what Imran said, the title of this thread should be "is" (not "was") targeting launch.

Oh damn of it makes launch window then good luck finding ps5 with hardcore souls fans trying to grab one.

I thought its March to June 2021

If Elden Ring is on track for "Souls Season"(March/April), Demon's Souls hitting Q4 2020/January 2021 makes a lot of sense.

All the Sony stuff shown was year 1, so I expect most of the titles with visible gameplay to be really early on in the PS5 launch cycle/window barring COVID delays.

Did people think this game was far off or something?

no I just think most people expected like February-April because it's COVID Time and we can't have nice things

If they've been working on this game since 2017 and much of 2020 was just final polish and stuff, it's highly likely they were able to push through the logistical challenges and get the game ready for early launch window.

I really, really stress the "I'd doubt it if only for COVID reasons" part of that tweet

I'll eat crow if every exclusive game in that PS5 event in June isn't in 2020/2021

I'm simultaneously not surprised (the vast majority of titles showcased by Sony at their event looked closed to launch to my eyes), and ecstatic. This and Spider-Man at launch would make for a perfect combo.

Man that'd be a killer launch title for me but I'm going to temper expectations because I would assume COVID will have delayed it to maybe within 3-6 months.
Which is totally fine because as it stands I'll be buying a ps5 next year when Horizon 2 comes out.

Interesting. That'd be nice.

I want to play this so badly, because I love DeS, but is it really worth buying a PS5 early in its life just to play a remake of a game I've beaten 12 times already? Decisions...

If it's already rated that certainly implies to me that the product is near final. I could be totally wrong though.

DeS is a killer app for me. I buy PS5 when DeS is out.

I need to see gameplay first (the trailer was not good IMO), but this can make me buy a Ps5 ASAP, so I'm fine with it being close to the console launch.

just feels from my ass based on the presentation, but it felt like the big first party titles were

Launch Window (holiday to early/mid spring) - Miles Morales and Demon's Souls
Tail end/just after Launch Window (late spring/early summer) - Ratchet
Post launch window (mid-summer/fall) - Horizon and GT7

barring COVID-related delays of course, we really can't firmly lock anything down because of these challenges

I hate Spider-Man with a passion, and Deathloop is delayed, so that would be a super cool game to get at launch if I can get a PS5 this holiday
