Right but it first year was the best of any consolePS2 launch lineup was pretty underwhelming, compared to Dreamcast and OgXbox. Fantavision became a pre-internet meme.
The good stuff arrived many months after launch.

Eric Lempel (SIE Head of Global Marketing): "I would say that this is the best line-up that we've ever seen in the history of PlayStation"
- Thread starter Lacrimosis
- Start date
All of these except for miles and demon souls are realistically going to be fall 2021 games or later. And I'd take no bets on demon and miles not running into covid issues down the stretch and having to get delayed into Q1 2021. I wouldn't exactly call that a great launch lineups. Second holiday season is going to be kick ass though.
Based on what information? Wasn't horizon confirmed spring 2021?
To-date, the Playstation Vita has had the best launch lineup & launch window of any of Sony's systems. There was just about something for everyone at launch. Want a big-budget (for portable) action/adventure game? Here's an Uncharted spin-off. You want racing? There's Wipeout 2048. Want a new rhythm/puzzle game? Here's a new Lumines. Platformer? Here's Rayman Origins. Sports? Here's a new Hot Shots Golf.
And for launch window, highlights included Gravity Rush 4 months after launch and Persona 4 Golden a few months after that. There was a ton of quality games you could play on the Vita by the 1-year mark and yes, a lot of them were ports, but they were portable ports and it was plenty cool to be able to play stuff like the Xbox Ninja Gaiden in the palm of your hand.
So that's the bar that the PS5 needs to clear in order for it to be the best launch lineup.

Timesplitters, Armored Core 2, and Tekken Tag alone make that a great launch, IMO.PS2 launch lineup was pretty underwhelming, compared to Dreamcast and OgXbox. Fantavision became a pre-internet meme.

no this is false lol. where are you even getting this? fall 2021? almost all those games were showing a lot gameplay in the first showcase, and sony clearly has been planning this lineup since at least 2018.
they just said 2021 its more than likely a holiday game imo to sell around christmas time. the rest of those games are def look to be all coming within the first year of the system.
Based on development time they should definitely all hit before the end of 2021. Apparently thats not even their entire line up.
Good luck.
Lol ps2 did not release in 2001.

Yup.
Now that there is a chance Demons Souls might come this year?
Whew...
PS2 2005 was better than PS2 2001.
(and also X360 2007, PS1 1998, Windows 1999, Nes 1987 and Snes 1995)
He seems to be specifically referring to the lineup of games they have over this initial "launch window and beyond"
technically fall 2001 wasnt even its best year since the console launched in march 2000 in Japan.
I dont know. All I remember is being starved for AAA games until Code Veronica and DMC hit in August. It was a rough spring and summer once you got bored with Tekken and DOA.
SMH it wasn't enough to copy the GamePass slogan, now Sony's snatching words right outta Phil's mouth?
It's a joke, folks, before I get jumped on.
While there's no way it can beat the majesty of the PS2's (North American) launch window, it certainly seems to be a damn sight better than the PS3's woeful launch. I distinctly remember one of my favorite PS3 launch games was the movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, because there was fuck-all worth playing on it. Genji? Nah. Resistance 1? A poor impersonation of much better games. Folklore? Who?
SpiderHyphenMan at launch is automatically better than the PS3's launch. I just hope that there are a good amount of third party games that actually make it this fall, but with COVID-19, I'd understand if they slipped into next year.

I'll believe it when I see it. Too often do we hear PR fluff like this (cough *Phil Spencer* cough) that never materialises, I don't really know why this could be any different.
PS2 launched in March 2000 in Japan and October 2000 in the US.
Good luck.

I remember in PSN infancy him being the guy to showcase PS3 software features. Was pretty awesome when he showed in game xmb and music lol.
I think it's different because we've had amazing ps4 games this year we are getting miles Morales, weve just had the demons souls rating from Korea and with SIE this is always 2-3 months before launch. All of the games we saw running way back when the ps5 was revealed were all running on PS5 Hardware and all looked quite far through the development stages.
Sony havent shown many new games in the past few years so we know they have studios ready to back this up and we have heard so much chatter about 3rd party exclusives...
Because again other sources have pointed to Sony having a great first year. If this was just Sony coming out and saying this, I'd be more sceptical.
Nah, half of them won't be there until the end of the next year or worse.
"I mean it's aight...not as good as the PS2 launch but it's what it is"
ah good call just went back and watched the video again. But yeah, i could have sworn everyone was saying that the games they showed off in the playstation meeting were all planned to release within the first year or so of the console launch.
He's definitely better at hyping his brand than Greenberg, I'll say that. It's got my mind eager for more info.
That mean 1st year of launch .
from November 2020 to December 2021 is 1st year of launch And most of them will make that
I think you gonna have a surprise. Sony is really well prepared for next gen. In fact I have they have more for launch year(factions and uncharted 5).
If Miles isn't an actual launch title it'll be literally the worst in PlayStation history. There's no way it misses launch day.
They'll have at least one big launch title.
From a first party level it could be the best they ever had.
It's probably launch, but I'm just posting what's been officially confirmed.
yeah almost everything at least what we understand is first year.
Ratchet & Clank
- They showed gameplay in June.
- Insomniac is one of the most efficient studios in the industry.
Demon's Souls
- Bluepoint started work on this in early 2018.
- By the end of this year, it would be the longest they spent on a project since GoW Collection in 2009.
- It's a remake, so even if it's the most ambitious one they've done, they have the blueprint for the game.
Gran Turismo 7
- Gran Turismo Sport shipped in October 2017.
- By the end of this year, GT7 would be 3+ years in production.
- Polyphony is good with development times, the only exception is GT5 which took 6 years.
Horizon 2
- Horizon Zero Dawn shipped in Feb 2017.
- Guerrilla moved to a new office in 2018, to expand their team to 400, a goal to ship games in 2-3 years.
- By Feb 2021, it would be 4 years in production, for a sequel is unlikely to take much longer.
Sackboy
- This has been in production as a LBP game for years according to Richard from Digital Foundry.
- He said that he would have expected it to be finished by now and maybe they're waiting for a good time to release it.

Let's see the dates and the games they haven't announced yet.
But first party wise, first year (not launch), he's already right. Sony never had things like Spiderman, Demon's Souls, Gran Turismo,Horizon and Ratchet&Clank as the first year lineup.
PS4 was simply terrible until year 2 and PS3 not much better.
