Breaking news: Sony thinks its next console will be a success. Speaking during the company's latest financial briefing, recently appointed CFO Hiroki Totoki commented on the PlayStation 5. Naturally, the firm's expecting the next-gen system to be a hit once it launches late next year.
Totoki's juicier comment is about the PS5's software lineup. According to Wall Street Journal writer Takashi Mochizuki, Totoki stated that both Sony's first party studios and third parties are lining up next-gen titles that "will satisfy game fans". Okay, so it's not the biggest scoop, but any talk of PS5 games is enough to stir up some excitement.
Indeed, we can't wait to see what the PS5's launch lineup looks like. It has the potential to be one of the best selections we've seen, with many expecting the likes of The Last of Us: Part II and Ghost of Tsushima to release as cross-gen titles alongside brand new games. Of course, the PS5 is also going to be backwards compatible with PS4 software, which should immediately give the console access to a huge library.

Knack 3 or we riot..... JK 🙂 next year is going to be amazing with the new consoles .
The PS5 and XB2 will need great games straight away because they’ll be competing with the Switch and PS4 which both have huge libraries. Also with costs going up to produce flasher graphics, I wonder if they’ll be less triple A games overall released? Plus with backwards compatibility being a thing this year, I wonder if we’ll get less remasters?
LOL, what is Sony going to say?!
"The PS5 release is just kind of, meh. It's cool - we'll work on it"
I hope we get some Kingdom Hearts on PS5. Hoping for a remaster of 358/2 Days.
To this day I still hope for Dark Cloud 3 to be announced. Didn't get it on the PS3 or 4 but I can still hope.
... you're $%itting me.
Paradise eve.sleeping dogs 2.dragon dogma 2.resistance 4.sly cooper 4.syphon filter remake collection..for the win.word up son
@playstation1995. Parasites eve will look amazing on the ps5.word up son
This is the reason I don’t get why people want Ghost of Tsushima and last of us 2 to be made into ps5 games let them stay ps4 games. Sony have some ps5 exclusive games actually built for the console in the works that will probably be ready for the console launch window. So it would be no need to take away from the ps4 to give to the ps5.
I don't trust too much T. Mochizuki but even in his own tweet.. Did he really mean launch line up? Not sure about that. I dont think so
Spider-Man 2 is the game I'm predicting at the moment, since they've been mentioning it in the Wired articles and Insomniac was a big, headline acquisition. In time for launch? Who knows. But even if they just gave us an early look I'm pretty I'd be sold.
Hype!! Forget about ps5 launch titles, even if sony didn't have launch games but say every sony 1st party games will be upgraded/given patch for 4k & 60 fps, it will be enough for me. I'll be playing/replaying bloodborne, uncharted 4, horizon zd, spidey, ds, tlou 2 & ghost for the first year of the machine 😄
@SegaBlueSky Nah not happening. Spider-Man was just released last year. Im expecting the sequel by 2022 or so.
My prediction
Socom Reboot made by Guerrilla Games.
Ratchet and Clank 2.
Demons Souls Remake or GT7.
@wiiware 4K patches wouldn't surprise me, but, generally, expect console exclusives optimized as 30fps experiences to stay that way. Although a 60fps "remaster" of Uncharted 4 would make sense.
@wiiware That is the best and a unique advantage Sony has over Microsoft and Google on the next gen. Just imagine not only giving these games a new lease of life but for free. PS5 will be an instant hit.
@Ralizah Unlike previous gen, this gen cpu is kind of bad, however I heard next gen console cpu is really good, so I think we're getting more 60 fps games compared this gen because fps is more determined by the cpu.
@Neolit Yup, I forgot, put it in the pile of ps4 backlog that I want to play on ps5 lol.
@shyhh Yeah, I really hope sony patch their exclusive to 4k & 60 fps, it's a missed opportunity if the game is just ps5 compatible with no upgrade.
Nothing but greatness.
@SegaBlueSky While I don’t think it will be out for launch I can definitely see a teaser shown for Spider-man 2 at launch event and maybe release in the first year of PS5.
By the time the PS5 releases it will be 2 years since the first and a lot of the ground work is done. It’s going to be New York based again and they have the web-swinging sorted. Maybe some new combat moves and of course all new story set pieces and you're done.
Nothing I have seen about PS5 so far has convinced me it's worth buying. I didn't have a reason to replace my PS4 with PS4 Pro, and looking at PS5 all I see is a PS4 Pro+.
@LightingThor Indeed. That's why I suggested we might get an early look.
@wiiware Bloodborne at 4k 60... with raytrace enhanced lighting? HNNG
I think more than Sony, Microsoft understands this and that is why they had gone on a crusade to purchase so many dev teams. Obsidian, so long as they don't ruin it, should be amazing for them. The rest should be decent at the very least. Now that they have them, they'll need to invest in them. I have faith in Sony, they give their first party Devs anything they need to produce quality games. It's more of a matter of picking up a few more devs to bolster the roster for Sony.
