What Games to Expect at the PlayStation 5 Reveal

Gamerheadquarters; "The full reveal of the PlayStation 5 is almost upon us, and with that it’s time to dive into the games to expect at the showcase."

[CaptainHenry916]

I'll be surprised if Horizon 2 is not announced

[bouzebbal]

Why is that? A game like this won't be revealed tomorrow..
I'm almost sure a new killzone will come out before, so the online can be tested and to build that community..
Guerrilla killzone
Bluepoint's new game
Gran Turismo
I'm hoping for The Order 2, would be a megaton.

[WickedLester]

God I hope you are right. Id love a brand new Killzone for the launch of the PS5.

[UltraNova]

I don't know if Guerilla/Sony have that much faith in the Killzone IP anymore tbh. It would be a shame I know, I really want a new one as well.

A Demon Souls remake and The Order 2 are on my most wanted list.

[bouzebbal]

No faith in killzone but faith in the order??
Killzone sold extremely well everytime since kz2. It's a flagship series for PlayStation and you can be sure it'll come back soon

[WickedLester]

@bouzebbal

Agreed. Killzone as a franchise has enormous potential. I love the lore of this series and the universe its in. For whatever reason though, the games keep coming up JUST short of being the AAA bangers that other Sony franchises are. Killzone Mercenary on Vita was fantastic though. I hope Sony doesn't let this IP disappear because they don't have very many first person shooters that are PlayStation exclusives.

[neutralgamer1992]

GG have 2 separate teams one is doing a shooter of sort sort and the other is doing horizon 2. Horizon 2 would be easier since they will be doing a sequel so many assets can be re-used(they don't have to start from scratch) and by the time ps5 comes out HZD will be over 3.5 years old which is plenty of time for a sequel(especially as GG hired more developers and grew) IMO we will see gameplay for horizon2

now the 2nd team is what's the mystery sony has 2 big shooters it can reboot(KZ, Socom and resistance) rumor had it GG were doing a proper socom. I think sony may go after more hardcore shooter fans of original socom games because 3rd party FPS are filling the void left behind by resistance and killzone(i don't agree with that because both are very special to me especially the co-op in resistance 2(still boggles my mind insomniac removed the most played mode when they released resistance 3 without the co-op) and KZ2 MP has the best memories in warzone

besides what i said above below are games i want to see

demon souls remake
GT
silent hill
bloodborne native 4k/60FPS
started started a new team in san diego to take over for uncharted over 2 years ago

some more studio acquisitions

you best believe sony will bring games and a lot of them because they have been so quite and this is their first real opportunity to have the stage all to themselves

expect megaton announcements like we had during E3 of dreams(shenmue 3, FF7 remake and TLG) I am talking about fan and media reaction wise how sony's e3 pretty much overshadowed the whole E3

sony will show a lot of gameplay but they will also show some teasers and i fully expect kojima to tease something

what i am trying to say is set your expectations very high and sony will deliver on top of that(yes that's how much confidence i have in sony because of the fact they let ms talk since decemeber of last year and stayed quite

now their games will do the talking and i think we will see hardware reveal simply because ps5's are in production so it will leak might as well show it and than announce the price in august(their next scheduled event)

[darthv72]

I'd love to see a KZ4 as well as an order 2 but if Sony is going to lead off the next gen with sequels then it would likely be with games people would be expecting like HZD2 and SM2 and maybe even GT7 and GoW2. But in all likeliness it may be one or two sequels and a bunch of new titles. Sony is not one to rely solely on their sequels out of the gate. They will bring them at some point, but they tend to showcase new games that are built specifically for the new generation.

[Nineball2112]

I'd LOVE to see a new Resistance game. But... yeah, not holding my breath on that one.

[bouzebbal]

Darth
Sony will dominate next gen no matter what.. Gamers need that variety.. Killzone as launch title is much more crucial to a good start than horizon is. Reason is simply that coop multi-player games help build that community in the beginning of a console's life cycle

[Xaywhat]

I would love The Order II. That game had such a great world and the graphics are still top of the bunch today. They just needed more time and money. Make it happen Sony! It was still a fun game to me.

[pwnmaster3000]

Honestly I’m not expecting anything to great (playing it safe).

Hopefully I’m wrong and Sony gives us some good news for once. (Not referring to them but just 2020 in general).

[MatrixxGT]

Yeah my expectations are very low. I don’t get hyped for this stuff anyway as it just leads to disappointment.

[SierraGuy]

There's rumours floating around Rockstar is showing something....GTA 6?

[F0XH0UND922]

Not gonna happen.

[oof46]

You'd have more luck hoping for Agent.

[Mr Marvel]

You’d have better odds buying a lottery ticket.

[SierraGuy]

I actually hope it's Midnight Club.

[Name Last Name]

A Kojima-less MGS6.

[morganfell]

Konami will be there but its most likely Silent Hill.

[NeoGamer232]

My guess...

GT for launch
Horizon 2 post-launch
Bluepoint's new game post-launch
God of War post-launch

And
Third party games
Call of Duty
Star Wars Battlefront

And
Updated TLOU2 for launch
Updated Ghosts of Tsushima for launch

And finally
1-2 first party smaller launch games as surprises like Resogun and Knack were.

[Mr Marvel]

This actually looks possible... and I’d be happy if it was real.

[morganfell]

Guerrilla will have a launch title. Just not HZD2. Possibly SOCOM. If not them then they are doing an old fashioned Killzone and Bluepoint is bringing SOCOM at launch.

[S2Killinit]

Almost certain Horizon 2 is not a launch title.

[CaptainHenry916]

It still should be announced though. It's been 3 in a half years since the first game. I expect a teaser trailer or something

[S2Killinit]

Possibly, but I read somewhere that this event is launch games only.

[morganfell]

Launch games only? No. Just no. Sony is out to lower the boom with this one and that will involve more than launch. They may openly differentiate which are launch titles and they may not but I don't see them restricting the presentation. They are going to pull out a few big guns that are not launch games such as HZD2 and GoW.

[GaboonViper]

Silent Hill reboot.

[Veneno]

I feel like Sony would show at least one new IP. If not then SH reeboot will take that place. Some are even saying a new Castlevania might be shown.

[DJStotty]

I think they should focus mainly on showing 1st party, this may be the gen i buy both consoles.

I am still awaiting gameplay from either Microsoft or Sony, but in the next 4 weeks, we should hopefully have some games shown from both.

[UltraNova]

Hopefully, we'll get to see everything both MS and Sony have in store for launch by the end of July, which includes all launch games, console features, SKUs(if any), and prices.

[medman]

@djstotty
I owned both 360 and ps3 but skipped xbox this gen. I plan to buy both the ps5 and series x when they become available. Sony's exclusives make the ps5 a no doubter for me, and xbox has shown enough for me to want the series x, both in what the console will be capable of, as well as gamepass and the studio acquisitions they've made over the course of the current gen. I'm excited for both consoles.

[DJStotty]

I have always been a one console person, (down to time and funds)

Sega Mega Drive
Game Gear
Then went PC for a few years until original xbox released, then xbox since
360
one
one x

I was quite lucky to have family members that owned the opposition, PS1/2, SNES, Game boy, C64, Atari ST, but we are all now xbox, most of my family and friends are xbox, so that is where i will be next gen primarily.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I'll definetly get the PS5 at some point, will probably skip the Xbox again this gen since unless it proves to be better than this lackluster generation (also assuming it has alot of game that don't come to PC).

[DJStotty]

people disagreeing with facts of my life, they somehow have better knowledge of lmao.

I did not need to personally buy a PS1 or PS2, as one of my brothers had them.

@Final

I might get PS5 as well at some point, the games for these next gen consoles are going to look really good.

[Petebloodyonion]

Showing only 1st party games has never been a good strategy because not all consumer buy a console for the 1st party offering, you want to cover all type of game so there's something for everyone and last but not least you don't want to have your own titles compete with themselves (see Titanfall2 vs Battlefield1).

Also having a mix of games helps with the momentum and tempo of the presentation.
For example, You will be pleased with the new COD reveal but it will not spark a huge hype so the momentum will be low. That will allow a momentum bump or huge sparks of interest if the reveal after is Spiderman2.
After that would probably follow up with a predictable game because it will be near impossible to keep the same hype for the next one. Insert here random Ubisoft, Bethesda game.

And Kudos for sticking with only one platform
I was never able to do that and usually end up owning them all even if I don't really have time to play them.
But, I pat myself on the back for not having a Switch because there's some killer titles on it but I damn well know that they would sit on my shelves like Death Stranding, KH3, Nier and countless games that I have promised myself to play.

[DJStotty]

True, but i want to see the 1st party offerings for both, we have seen some third party from MSofts 1st stream, and the usual showings like COD, FIFA, Battlefield, are a given and i would rather them be shown by their respective publishers.

If it was my choice i would have every console, but funds and time, it is not feasible lol.

[sushimama]

The wrost thing you can do is go in expecting any game inparticular. Just go in expecting games.

[WickedLester]

even worse than putting the r before the o? :)

[sushimama]

No not really. But it is worse than starting off a sentence with a lower case letter.

[blackblades]

Dont know but heard its a 3rd party game event well mostly the but they are hyping and advertising it so must be big games and hardware reveal.

[dumahim]

There's only so many 1st party studios that would be ready to announce anything, so being mostly 3rd party isn't a surprise.

[jznrpg]

I’m hoping for Demons Souls remake but not expecting any particular games . GoW from Sony Santa Monica seems most likely out of all of the rumors as they are confirmed to be in the show but nothing is guaranteed.

[Veneno]

The Demons souls remake is a very good bet. But I also heard that Bluepoint is also involved in bringing Bloodbourne remaster to PS5/PC. I wish they were doing something else like remaking MGS1 or another PS1 classic. Those games were ahead of their time and were held back by the technology of the time. Demons souls is a PS3 game. A very powerful console. That game is a classic and I agree should be experienced by more gamers but it's not like the PS3 held it back. It's still beautiful and atmospheric to this day.

I think they should have done the Bloodbourne remaster and MGS1 remake. And some point later, like on PS6 or later into PS5 do the Demons souls remake.

[Bathyj]

Well people are apparently expecting everything so they're bound to be disappointed. I'm just waiting and seeing. I'm sure I'll be happy.

[PaleMoonDeath]

As a horror enthusiast.. the whispers of Silent Hill AND Resident Evil 8? LET'S DO THIS!

[Ausbo]

While I think it will be a good show, people need to keep expectations grounded. Horizon is probably a fair bet, but don’t expect God of war and Spider-Man.

[blackblades]

Agree

[S2Killinit]

Horizon wont be a launch title.

[Ausbo]

I agree

[Veneno]

All 3 of those games will get sequels. Just matter of time.

[Ausbo]

Off course. I’m talking about this show though

[Profchaos]

Awesome games, hardware reveal and fuel for these comment wars just like in 2013

[S2Killinit]

I think they said hardware is revealed in July, just like the PS4 was.

[Mr Marvel]

Wasn’t the PS4 console revealed at E3 in June 2013 though?

[S2Killinit]

Hmm I just read it somewhere. They said it was in July. (I maybe wrong)

[Profchaos]

Ps4, PS3, PSP were all revealed at E3 in June.
Only statement sony has released is to expect ps5 stuff tomorrow

[badz149]

Ape Escape from Cerny's team

[SaveFerris]

Shouldn't it be Knack 3?

[EazyC]

I had zero expectations, but now that GT7 has been planted in my mind from the rumours I'll definitely be disappointed if they don't show it!

[Veneno]

I think it would be necessary in order to show that Sony has the cars as much if not better than Xboxs Forza.

[Yi-Long]

They'll probably announce a few games people are expecting already, like Spider-Man 2 and perhaps a new God of War, but I doubt we'll see much more from those games apart from a tiny teaser and logo.

Horizon 2 seems fair, maybe a new Ratchet & Clank, Bloodborne Remaster seems likely considering that will be coming to PC, and probably a tease/announcement for GT7.

We could hope for a new Sly Cooper, maybe something from the Everybody's Golf team (Tennis would be nice), perhaps a few new JRPG's, maybe even a new Final Fantasy announcement (which would of course still be years away from release), hopefully Dragon Quest XI with the Switch content included, MAYBE a new Ridge Racer although I'd be surprised, and perhaps Ubisoft will have something to show, like the new Splinter Cell.

I just hope the focus is on a wide variety of games, instead of on hardware and services.

[I_am_Batman]

I think it's way too early for an announcement of Spider-Man 2 and especially the next God of War. Those games aren't coming out anytime soon.

Realistically they already have:
-Guerrilla Game (Probably Horizon 2)
-At least 1 Japan Studio Game
-Gran Turismo
-Bluepoint Games exclusive

Plausible:
-Resident Evil 8
-Platinum Games exclusive
-Elden Ring (I think they made it a next gen project which could be why we haven't heard much yet)
-Bloodborne PS5 port

They also might have some typical 3rd parties like Call of Duty, Battlefield or some Ubisoft title (Hopefully Splinter Cell or Prince of Persia). Maybe Rocksteady even shows up. In my opinion this would be more than enough for a great show. I think they should save announcements like God of War and Spider-Man for next year.

I'm just gonna add some unlikely dream announcements at the end. If any of those happen I'm losing my mind:
-FFXVI
-Resistance Reboot
-The Darkness 3
-Bloodborne 2
-New Bioshock gameplay (probably way too early)

[Yi-Long]

Not sure why you'd think Spider-Man couldn't be out within the next 2 years orso. They've already built the entire city, and Spider-Man will most likely just take place in that city again. They have most of the gameplay-mechanics in place, like the swinging, the fighting, etc, and a lot of the character models.

Yeah, they'll tweak, expand on and improve stuff, but most of the basics of it all will already be in place from the first game.

[I_am_Batman]

I just don't see any reason for them to announce anything beyond 2021 right not. I also hope that they'll put in a lot of work into increasing the city's scope, scale and density, but you're right Spider-Man 2 could be closer than I think.

[S2Killinit]

This is only launch titles showing if rumors are correct.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

I wouldn't be disappointed if HZD2 is there - but I think it will be better shown at a later announcement (September - maybe?).

I'd love GG to do KZ and it go head-to-head against Halo infinite. If KZ turned out to be a great game - could be the killer blow on day 1.

[I_am_Batman]

Guerrilla Games have been expanding after the release of Horizon Zero Dawn with the intention of working on multiple projects at the same time. I think they probably prioritized a sequel to Horizon over everything else. With that being said, I don't think that Horizon 2 is gonna be a launch window title and could even be a second year title for the PS5. That wouldn't preclude them from announcing it on Thursday though. Since so many people are expecting it to show up, I'd be surprised if we aren't at least going to see a little teaser for it.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

I don't think they will announce anything that isn't in the launch window, Shuhei said as much a few years back - Sony has been guilty of showing games too early.

Like AC: Black Flag before was for PS4, I see AC: Valhalla being the open world title for the PS5 launch. Whatever GG show it will be a technical masterpiece - DECIMA would've evolved dramatically since HZD & DS.

[I_am_Batman]

Well it really depends on how you define 'launch window'. I think of it as the first 3-4 months. I definitely think they will and should announce games outside this window.

You might be right though, they've said that after this event they'll still have much to share. I don't really see a reason to dilute the impact of the event, by spreading the announcements out too much. We're already very close to the release and I'm more than ready to know what to expect for the first year of the PS5.

[S2Killinit]

There was a leak that this show is only for launch window games, not ones coming after launch. So i dont think we will see Horizon or any of the others.

[Veneno]

I would rather see KZ over Horizon myself but that would cause more disappointment for fans to see them not doing Horizon. Also the voice actress for Aloy has leaked that Horizon 2 is already in production.

The only way to have your cake and eat it too would be for them to announce both on the same day. Who knows , stranger things have happened.

[Artemidorus]

The console has the same theme as the controller and looks alot better than the XSX.

[Hellcat2020]

You referring to this
https://apple.news/Aum4RUGL...

[Games1st]

Switch launched with Zelda, setting launch standards. Now with Xbox and Halo adding even more pressure, Sony has to launch with a big game or have it close by.

Expect more games, in the first few years.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Halo is cross-gen - it will just look prettier on xsx. They should've made it an xsx exclusive, big mistake on their part.

I think Sony will launch with 3 or 4 launch window exclusives - that'll be enough.

[sushimama]

"Launch standards"

You mean purposely delaying a finished game so it launches on the new console?

A tactic a company would only do if they don't have many big-hitters at the ready. Sony COULD HAVE EASILY launched Ghost Of Tsushima on the PS5.

Don't make me laugh with your 'launch standards".

Playstion IS THE STANDARD. They're the leader.

[RamRod88]

You got any evidence to back that up that claim? No, then stop spreading lies. With that said, I don't believe a console needs to launch with some crazy heavy hitter to succeed, but it certainly helps.

[BLAKHOODe]

I don't really care what they show. Current-gen games already look amazing and so much better than they did at the beginning of the current-gen. So whatever is shown is just the beginning and will get much, much better as time goes on.

What I'm most excited for is getting this games showcase out of the way, so we're one step closer to the PS5 reveal, me locking down my pre-order, and playing the thing this "holiday".

[Mr_cheese]

I think we will get

- Spiderman 2
- Horizon Zero Dawn 2
- New GT

now for me personally, these games are ok and enjoyable but I'd love for them to reveal something that conpletely blows my mind and truly gets me excited.

The last of us 1 did that and the 2nd has done it again. I want that feeling of MUST HAVE.

[Shadow Man]

Elden Ring

[on_line_forever]

I hope for next generation

[Elda]

Another guessing article. Sony will confirm some PS5 games at it's showing starting tomorrow at 4pm eastern time.

[Pancit_Canton]

I want Okami 2 and Legend of Dragoons sequel or remake.

[Gaming4Life1981]

I'm hoping for horizon zero dawn 2 and aside from that I hope to see the system and get a launch line up.

[BrainSyphoned]

Is it too much to hope for one hour of Spider-Man 2 puddles?

[S2Killinit]

I expect 1 big title tomorrow. It wont be Horizon 2 or GoW. It will be a new ip. I think. Or a complete remake of a famous franchise.

[Father__Merrin]

I would like somehow little big planet 4 resistance 4 killzone 4
