I do own Hitman GO, Shadow Complex, and Robinson, I'm hoping those will be workable in the mean time

OP
I have Robinson: The Journey. It's an okay PSVR title, nothing that I feel like is worth writing home about personally. Decent story but interactions feel limited and result in a rigid feeling game. It was pretty blurry even on PS4 pro. Not at all sad about it not making it over. But I will also be keeping my PlayStation 4s.
Really the odd ones here are
Shadow Complex Remastered - Epic has the resources and the relationship with Sony to make this happen, no apparent licensing issues, and any technical issues should be able to resolve with existing UE documentation or building new that will be needed for other devs who are using UE on PS4 >PS5
Robinson The Journey - Crytek likely just doesn't see it worth their effort, and let's face it the company hasn't had a great last 7 or so years, including the critical and commercial reception to this game. Up until earlier this year the game never really went on sale from its original $59.99 price and I finally grabbed it once it dropped to 30 and while it definitely has some issues with being on rails and bad fps, it is still one of the biggest "spectacle" experiences i have had in VR from the short time I spent with it. Was hoping a Boost mode would help with the fps but I think there is little chance Crytek bothers with making this compatible.
Then maybe DWVR because it was a fairly popular PSVR game but the devs are working on making it compatible per another poster.
...other than that the list can burn, it sucks for people who like Hitman Go but with the studio's split from Enix it's not surprising at all.

I have Shadow Complex and Hitman Go and while I enjoy both games, I'm not eager to play them on ps5.
I own Hitman go (finished it already) and always wanted to try out Robinson. May buy and play it before the PS5 releases.
Has anyone said anything about whether or not this is situation that isn't fixable by the developers if they'd like to? Seems like for Robinson or Shadow Complex it would make sense for the devs to spend a bit of time making it work and distribute an update to solve it.
Hitman is still owned by Square Enix but they've licensed it to IO and seemingly given them free reign with it.
The only incompatible game I own is Hitman Go and while it's a good game, I was done with it the minute I got the plat. I'm pretty happy with that list TBH. Assuming there isn't a huge list of games with major compatibility problems, I think I might end up selling off my Pro.
Think Epic just doesn't care about anything that is not Fortnite these days. Ignoring the recent Apple stuff, they lost all interest in updating any of the Infinity Blade games so they all stopped working over time. Shame since it was one of their last good games they did. At least the 360 version will be playable on the Series X.
if those work in the same way to JackBox, it might be able to run independently from the app with a phone browser instead
either that or playlink games are just donezo
Pretty sure it's the reverse. IO went independent and got the Hitman and Freedom Fighters IPs to go with them, but Hitman Go remains a Square Enix-published game that they put on sale with their other stuff.
IO Interactive Becomes Independent Studio, Retains Rights to Hitman
The former Square Enix dev studio is going it alone and taking Hitman with it.
Nope. It's a common misconception but it's wrong. We've already gone through this a few times in other threads.Pretty sure it's the reverse.

i could see epic putting it on ps5 as its own version, tbh
remastered remastreredd
No, they have an exclusive license to Hitman and full creative control, but Square still own the I.P. If you ever look at the small print of Hitman trailers it usually says "licensed to IOI".
I accidentally ended up with two physical copies of Joe's Diner. Now that I've already sold my PS4, I'll never get a chance to try it out.
Shadwen is decent. It's like classic Asassin's Creed meets Superhot. You have to help young girl through a bunch of levels either by distracting the enemies or murdering them. You have to ghost the levels - it's game over if a guard gets alerted, but can rewind time at any point. A reasonably unique experience, if repetitive in the long run.
Oh shit it's by that dev? I like Trine a fair bit. Looks like it is on PC though if I ever wanted to give it a spin. That's where I have trine anyway. I had no idea that's who that was.
I don't own any of them and the only ones that I recognize or remember are Robinson: The Journey and Hitman Go.
It would have nothing to do with a "shit codebase." It is either the code is doing something the PS5 can't emulate or it is a licensing problem.
I'd rather play that Tiger game ANY day of the week over Joes Diner. I mean, look how shit and unfun this game actually is
apparently the game has "innovative gameplay" and "fantastic sound effects" if you read the Amazon page description š
