Really not clear what the launch lineup is for PS5
- Thread starter sn00zer
- Start date
Marvel's Spider-Man: MM will receive solid scores I suspect (better than any exclusive PS4 launch game) but more so it's unquestionably an absolute killer commercially like Sony has never had for a launch prior. It will be a huge game and already the standalone trailer is just racing upwards on YouTube. A ton of people will be very happy with that on day one.
As for my tastes I believe Godfall and Astro's Playroom will be more for me. I'm not very thrilled about that lineup but on the other hand 2021 seems super stellar (the rest of the Sony titles shown in conference).

They are clearly spreading things out like launch date, lineup and price until my guess, after xbox does their thing. I am pretty sure we will get a more complete picture around august. Asking for a clear lineup at this point is a bit premature
How were you ready before knowing anything about launch but now not when you have decent games? What would waiting do anyway? Doubtful the console will be cheaper anyway by then.
This isn't the only PS5 event this summer. Sony's got more coming throughout the next few weeks/months. We'll probably learn more about the launch line up with all of them.
So we can expect on top what was in OP.
Deathloop
Watch Dogs Legion
Assassins Creed
Cod Black Ops
Sports
Cyberpunk (with at least BC)
Ghosts of Tsushima (with at least BC)
Last of Us 2 (with at least BC)
Could add several other Fall titles to the BC list as well, Wasteland, Avengers, etc.
Several indie games im sure. Plus we have many days of reveals from many companies.

The last of us 2, ghost of Tsushima will be BC and those alone will be amazing for anyone who waits to play them. PS5 has a bright future.
I don't think they intended to make the launch lineup clear. They've said there will be more events leading up to launch.
August would be the time a launch lineup would really take shape, I think. Wait another month or so and then we will see dates.
Can be played without. I don't think they even confirmed VR functionality for it (although I would be shocked if it did not have it)
Afaik so far the ones confirmed for launch are:
Spider-Man Miles Morales
Deathloop
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
Astro's Playroom (free)
Godfall
One's that need to yet be confirmed.
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
Gran Turismo 7
Demon Soul's
Spider-Man Miles Morales
Deathloop
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
Astro's Playroom (free)
Godfall
One's that need to yet be confirmed.
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
Gran Turismo 7
Demon Soul's
Anything is better than the PS3 launch. And the games shown so far look better than the ps4 showings.
I understand Covid is playing a big role in delays. Hell, we're lucky to be getting new consoles this year at all. I just wish Sony would be more definitive with games like Ratchet and Demon's Souls and give 2021 windows if they aren't coming this year.
GT7 and Horizon 2 I already feel are beyond launch but Ratchet showed a good amount of gameplay so I was surprised at the lack of a date.
Side note, it sounds like SpiderMan Miles isn't a mainline game but a Lost Legacy type 1.5 game. Do we know if it's even PS5 exclusive? Maybe they just gave the release dates for cross gen games and are waiting on PS5 exclusives until they know a launch date?

Just checked again, and yeap, not confirmed, only rumoured to be a launch title.
We don't know when the launch is though, but it will probably be in November and Spider-man's probably gonna release in December.
I mean we don't even know when launch is so I'm not really worried about not knowing the launch lineup yet, I'm sure they'll make it clear when they announce the date/price
kena: bridge of spirits is also on for 2020. So the "launch" line up thus far is something akin to.
- nba 2k21
-deathloop
-Spider-Man: Miles Morales
- kena: bridge of spirits.
- astrobots.
not a bad lineup tbh.

PS5 is also "launching this holiday". So most likely a launch game.
I don't think they would have announced AstroBot if it was VR-exclusive. It's almost certainly going to be available for people without headsets. The original game works great in VR, but there was really no gameplay reason to limit the audience to PSVR owners. It would have played just fine on a regular TV.
Meh, it isn't like the PS4 start, there are many third party games releasing this Fall and all of them are at least BC. Sony would be dumb to release 2-3 heavy AAA games into that. MS too.
We're getting Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed, Avengers, CyberPunk, Cod/MAdden/Fifa/NBA, and the announcements have just started. A Batman game is rumored for the Fall, possibly a Crash game, and who knows what else. Everything I just listed will sell over a million copies easily between their systems. Competition is hot.
IMHO, Demon Souls and R&C should be February/April. Horizon, September of next year.
All the games that say Holiday 2020 are part of the launch lineup. Check this link:
https://kotaku.com/when-the-ps5-games-from-todays-event-come-out-and-wher-1844005271
I guess that Microsoft will show some other third party games that will be Multiplatform and will also be part of the launch.

With Covid and riots and everything else fucked up going on, be happy some of those games were even willing to say 2020.
For now you can assume the already announced/obvious third party games and spider-man/astrobot which is a pack in game.
I don't think sony is hiding any major unannounced titles releasing this year that weren't in their conference, also anything coming this year would seemingly at least have a holiday 2020 date on it by now. I don't think they're going to come out and say Ratchet/other major first party games are suddenly dropping day 1.
There's presumably quite a few third party multiplats we have yet to see dates for that will be launch titles.
If ratchet/GT7 are somehow dropping at launch and they couldn't lock that down for the conference then good for them, more power to everyone.
