Demon Souls, HFW and R + C for me.
Gran Tursmo 7 proper
Horizon, GT7, and Spiderman for me. Quite a few more I'll definitely be getting but those 3 are firmly at the top from what they showed!
All of them! No, I voted Horizon 2, because obvious reasons; Astrobot, because I just want more of it, and Little Devil Inside, because it's about time that game releases.
Miles Morales, Sackboy and Resident Evil for me. Got the platinum for Spider-Man and absolutely loved it.
Massive LBP fan and Sackboy is my type of game. Biohazard was fantastic and the only Resident Evil I’ve played so Village is right up my street too.
Purchased Horizon today ready to play after TLOU. Will hopefully like it and make me hyped for Forbidden West!
I think Kena: BoS was the true stand out for me. It came out of nowhere from an indie studio and looks freaking amazing! I did find out that it’s the same studio (EmberLab) that did the awesome Majora’s Mask short film on YouTube. That just made me more excited.
Horizon, spideman and rachet for me. A little disappointed there was only one new multiplayer game shown especially since they said they would focus on some multiplayer titles for next gen. Would of loved socom, mag or warhalk a man can dream 😭
It won't let me pick Bugsnax 3 times.
Demon Souls and Re8 for me
Was disappointed in Tokyo, I was expecting a third person horror game similiar to Evil Within, I'm not too sure what was going on in the trailer
I have a feeling Astro Bot Playroom is going to get overlooked , which is a crying shame . AstroBot Vr for me was the closest thing Sony had to rivalling Mario . What Mario 64 did for 3D Platformers , Astro Bot did that for VR gaming .
Resident evil 8 was my game of show. While Demons souls was on the top of my wishlist , Resident evil 8 looked incredible . I hope and pray it will have a VR Mode like Resident evil 7 .
Demon’s Souls, Athea, and Stray. Athea looks like it could do some really cool next gen stuff, Stray is a full realistic looking game about playing as a cat - we needed that - and Demon’s Souls needs no explanation.
Resident evil 8
Little Devil Inside
Demon's Souls
I was a bit disappointed in the Tokyo Ghostwire and Ratchet and Clank clips.
There's too many great options to choose from. You could tell me to pick 5 and I'd still have trouble narrowing it down.
@JohnnyShoulder same
Hitman 3 amazing series can’t wait for it!
@thefirst Nobody thank the gods it looks ugly too.
1 - hfw
2 - Kena
3 - R&C
@Enuo I know there are so many great reveals i think 5 would't cut it for me. 😆
Horizon, R&C and whatever that SE with the female mage looking one was looked cool. Had some good stuff on here though. No matter how fed up with everything I may be at the minute, I know I will eventually find interest in it again, and some of these titles are sure to be why.
Horizon, Demon's Soul and Stray.
No idea what Stray is about, but the trailer setting was wonderful.
Little Devil Inside, Horizon, and Ratchet.
Wow I didn't realize there were 26 games shown!My choices were Horizon, Spiderman and Athia which really caught my attention.
I voted Horizon, Deathlooper & Kena but it was hard leaving Resident Evil 8 off
12)Astro's Playroom
14)Deathloop
4)Demon's Souls
10)Ghostwire Tokyo
1)Horizon Forbidden West
2)Kena: Bride of Spirits
9)Little Devil Inside
11)Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
8)Pragmata
3)Project Athia
7)Resident Evil Village
6)Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
5)Returnal
13)Sackboy: A Big Adventure
15)Solar Ash
16)Stray
I want the first 10 for 100% and if i can afford it i want the
Aloy, Agent 47 and Miles freakin' Morales.
The rest was lovely an' all, but those three made my day.
Any chance there are release dates/windows for all of these?
Hi there fellow gamers. My personal 3 are: Little Devil Inside, Horizon: Forbidden West and Demons Souls. The first was a great suprise for me. The second was a given. It looks absolutely gorgeous and now we have a name. The third, well, do I even need to say anything? It´s DEMONS SOULS. The others I´m excited about are: Returnal, Project Athia, Deathloop, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Kena: Bride of Spirits and Spider-Man: Miles Morales. So many games to play, it´s crazy. But in a good way. Cheers and happy gaming to us all
@Neolit No way the PS4 could run most of them not with normal framerates with these details.
I was expecting Horizon & Spidey, but HFW trailer is stunning in 4K, my favourite of the show was Little Devil Inside looks a blast and the art style is great
Third choice is more tricky, probably RESI VIII but depends how I get on with VII. Kena and R&C look good.
@Flaming_Kaiser GTA V was only the PS4 footage though.
Horizon, Miles Morales and Project Athia. I'm intrigued to see SE do something non FF related and the other 2 are obvious day one purchases.
Ratchet and clank.kena and deathpool.word up son
@RaZieLDaNtE. Little devil inside looks amazing.gona fight some strong monsters also.word up son
If you are the guy that voted GTA5 I have bad news for you lol
Anyway BY FAR the best game was Ratchet! Solid gameplay, awesome visuals, weapons, worlds! Was amazing!
Then I'm just excited for Miles Morales and Returnal looked insanely cool!
Ofc I loved HZD2 but since it was cutscene only I didn't vote for that!
Stoked to see so many votes for Kena. That game really came out of nowhere! I’m so excited about that one.
I never thought it would be so hard to choose only three games! I went Kena (largely to show support), Ratchet, and Horizon. But omitting RE8 and Spidey/Miles felt so wrong.
1) Horizon Forbidden West
2) Kena: Bride Of Spirits
3) Little Devil Inside
Lots of others look really good including Deathloop, Spidey: Miles Morales and Stray.
1st - Kena
2nd - HZD 2
3rd - Stray
Only a few games disappointed but the variety was excellent. Kena and stray looked stunning and the obvious big hitters also looked great. Resi looked amazing in places and meh in others.
@Neolit. Whats going big dog.yep sony nailed it.but man that kena game by them 2 brothers looks amazing.it look like a pixar legendary movie.amazing.word up son
1.Demons Souls, A remake of my 2nd game of all time and the game that paved the way for the souls series. Hopefully it gets the respect it deserves with this remake.
2.Kena, looked beautiful, interesting and cute as *****!
3.Returnal, death Stranding meets Mass effect? Looked pretty interesting! I love weird and dark Games.
Returnal is my number one. Housemarque has the tightest gameplay of any studio working today, sooo hype for them to go big. Solar Ash, it looks sublime and Hyper Light Drifter is in my top 10 games all time. Horizon, because well, it's Horizon. I think the first one is in the conversation for best first-party Sony game ever made.
My runners up would be Little Devil Inside, Ghostwire and Stray. Overall though lots of cool looking stuff, I really appreciated it wasn't just AAA stuff, nor was it all grim/dark, etc.
Couldn't vote because you have to pick 3 answers and I only cared about 2 games.
RE8 and Ghostwire Tokyo
1. Horizon - cannot wait to see that on the PS5
2. SpiderMan - Miles Morales, enough said.
3. Jett/Kena - Jett, I love space exploration, Kena was beautiful.
4. Project Athia - Need more info
5. Grand Turismo 7
Not into R/C, it looks appealing.
@Neolit. Are you playing prey for the first time.the graphics is unbelievable.where are you on prey.what level are you.im far on that game.dont forget to get all your numerod for new abilities.and man when you got out of your apartment and went to you 🚁 helicopter the first time.wow that 1980s music is legendary.and you see him.tapping his feet to the music.man arkane studio is one of my favorite studio s.prey is awesome.dishonored is legendary.and theyre new game on yesterday ps5 event deathpool looks 😎.word up son
I'll be getting all of them except a couple indies, was a very good showing.
Demon’s Souls, Horizon II, Ratchet & Clank
Game of the show was Ratchet & Clank. It was surprising and it showed next gen gameplay. Nothing else came close to delivering the full package like that game did.
We can only hope every reveal would be like that.
I say that as someone who isn't a fan. The game was the showcase for the ps5.
Demon's Souls, Horizon Forbidden West and Resident Evil for me, looking forward to another 5 or 6 on top of those!
1,Ratchet And Clank
2,Horizon Zero Dawn
3,Kena-Bride Of Spirits
I would of put Astrobot in top 3 but as it's preinstalled I won't include it as a full game.
Others I am excited for are Sackboy,Little Devil Inside and Resident Evil 8!
Demons Souls,R&C, Sackboy for me. But I'm also interested in RE Village
Horizon, Spiderman and kena for me. Although I've had that bugsnax song in my head all day haha
In order of preference: Kena, Ratchet and Clank, Horizon FW
By order of best impression : Little devil inside, Pragmata, Demon's Souls
I went for Ratchet and Clank, Horizon and Astro's Playroom. Mostly the last because it's comforting to know you get to know the controls and when you spend so much getting the console and maybe 1 or 2 games which you'll have for the first month you'll also have Astro as a back up. I'll probably at least try it but it doesn't look bad at all. I tried the Playroom and Home but didn't really like them so it looks a lot better. Project Athia would be another though, assuming it was the same game as the tech demo we saw. It looks really cool.
Pragmata looked stunning, plus it had that Death Stranding's feel. I yelled in excitement personally when they got transported to the moon.
Definitely Deathloop, Little Devil Inside and Hitman III!
Horizon Forbidden West, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart!!! Of course I’m going to play Spider-Man and RE8!
Ratchet, Horizon and Sackboy. Spidey, Demon's Souls, Oddworld and Astro come close as well with Solar Ash as an honorable mention.
@NdehSt Exactly how I feel too!
Goodbye Monster High.... That was some strange Tumblr fever dream 😂😂😂
Kena, Demon's Souls and Athia. The latter because it kind of feels like the closest to a new FF that isn't a remake that we'll be getting for a while. If they later announce FFXVI then that'll definitely replace Athia for me. Though to be honest, I'm not looking forward to those three games as much as I am FFVIIR2, Baldur's Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077
@ShogunRok It's Kena: Bridge of Spirits, not Bride of Spirits.
Spider-man MM
Demon's Souls
Returnal
It's actually difficult. I selected the ones which intrigued me or made the best shock impression.
Very intrigued with Housemarque's game.
Some of the are good games, but nothing extraordinary or next-gen about them. And my fav franchises are not among them. And non of the new games look intresting "to me". Therefore, after seeing Sony's show, I gladly decided to skip the launch and save 400$ for now.
@Neolit completely agree, Ratchet and Clank was the only game I saw that had visual effects and the dimension jumping that wouldn't work on PS4 and for that alone was easily the star of the show for me. Oh and Horizon 2 looked pretty spectacular as well
So my top 3 is
Ratchet and Clank comfortably number 1
Horizon 2
Resident Evil Village (because I love the series)
GTA V obviously...
Just kidding. Horizon Forbidden West, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
Would really like to add a vote to Kena: Bride of Spirits and Project Athia also. Those have impressed me so far but need to see more.
Horizon, Demon Souls and Kena for me. All looked fantastic, and truly ‘next-gen’.
Horizon fw, rachet and clank, spider-man miles morales, and demon's soul 😃
And I also want gran turismo 7 (fully single player portion finally 😃), resident evil 8, ghostwire tokyo, little devil inside, stray, kena, solar ash, and oddworld soulstorms.
My poor wallet is not ready 😅
Went for Ratchet, Athia and Sackboy but could have easily chosen GT7, Horizon, Demon’s, Kena etc!
Well, if I can only pick three. Horizon, Ratchet and Clank, and Oddworld.
But I'm also looking forward to Spider-Man, Resident Evil, Gran Turismo, Demon Souls, Project Athia and Ghostwire Tokyo.
Sony have made the decision on where to go next gen very easy for me just like this one. Once again, Xbox have shown me nothing which says 'buy our console' and just continue to talk about TFlops.
I voted for Spider-Man, Ratchet and Clank, and Horizon, but please audience, I am begging you, do not sleep on Returnal. Housemarque has never made a bad game. Ever. Please keep paying attention to it.
@JoelDies Oh dear.
🤦
1. Horizon
2. Stray
3. Returnal
Not sure about Returnal as I want to see more, but for some reason we have to pick 3, so... there it is.
Honestly felt pretty 'meh' about a lot of the stuff shown, because - as I feared - it's looking like "more of the same, but a bit prettier".
i) Demon's Souls
ii) Horizon II
iii) Spider-Man
It's the first time ever all of the games I wanted to see were shown. I'm still very happy about the show in general.
Horizon
Spider man
Death loop, tbh there was too many to chose from 😂😂😂😂
Stray for me, nothing else did it for me, maybe some extending gameplay for Demon Souls or Spider Man but meh, I only wanted to pick Stray in the vote so I've had to pick Bugsnacks and Emo Dinosaurs along with.
Looking forward to most of them tbh minus the sports games.
Project athia looks amazing though, I need to see more of that
While I think Ratchet was the only game that screamed 'this is what the PS5 can do', the games I was most happy to see were Resident Evil 8, Demon's Souls and Horizon 2.
Super-stoked about both the Horizon and Ratchet&Clank sequels by far the most, and happy to see Oddworld:Soulstorm is still on the way as a huge fan of the Oddworld series since PSone era! Also pleased a Miles Morales expansion is in development - so long as they continue to give him his own unique character development - as I thought his character in the last game had good potential (just hope I don't have to play as MJ at all this time as she got on my nerves tbh!)
Horizon, R&C and Deathloop, since I loved Dishonored and Prey.
Deathloop is the one I'm most looking forward to playing, but doesn't feel right picking a game that was revealed a year ago. So Hitman 3 would probably be the highlight of the showcase for me.
Can’t do three:
@Neolit Kena, Project Athia, Demon Souls no way mate no way on hell. But whatever i just loved the games i still found HZD a beauty on the base PS4. But if GTAV looks better then on the PS4 man it looks rough and i dont get the praise at all. And that NBA 2K so boring. Godfall wasnt really beautyfull if it runs solid im not really bothered.
@JohnnyShoulder Then its ugly on PS4 and whats even worse why show it then?
Horizon of course.
@andreoni79 Stray got my attention.
@Neolit Totally agree on that i dont cry of its 58 FPS or it does not look perfect. I rather have a rock solid 30 FPS then a unlocked FPS that jumps everywhere.
I rather have play 1440P then a empty world with 4K (its a example for other who read this too make a point).
A rather have a smaller world then a huge world with nothing in it or the same busy work.
Look at the simple tweaks collectables in HZD they arent useless junk but they fill in the backstory the gameplay it was great a nice cast. I know i love HZD. 😆
Somehow i loved the stuff the gathering a animation which i can skip, with collectables you can always get them they never get locked off. And is just great and that photomode. 🤤
Resident Evil VIII & Hitman III
1. Ratchet and Clank - loved the rift mechanic and how it showed off the SSD tech
2. Kena - beautiful art, and love that this is coming from an indie developer
3. Horizon II - sequel to my fav game on PS4
@Flaming_Kaiser I mean you are asking a question I can't really answer, which is always a good thing. I can only theoris that it was part of the deal that came with the game being given for free when it comes out on PS5, and maybe R* were not ready to show off the PS5 footage just yet. R* are known for being quite particular on these sort of things.
I want to select 3 more but 3 at least so here they are:
Horizon Forbidden West
Ratchet and Clank
Resident Evil Village
But for more than 3:
Spider-Man MM
Demon's Souls
Spray (I dont know this one but I will keep my mind open and my eyes on this one)
@Neolit My thoughts exactly. The ONLY TRUE next-gen game showed.
My Top 3 Faves:
1.) Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
2.) Ratchet & Clank: Rifts Apart
3.) Horizon II: Forbidden West.
I was also excited for the Demon's Souls remake and a few other titles, but those three in particular definitely stood out for me.
@playstation1995 Prey is so good man. All the different possibilities you have for traversal and combat, top notch. Arkane studios have some of the new best games i´ve played in quite some time. Cheers and happy gaming to us all
Gran turismo 7 had an amazing presentation video. I look forward to playing it sometime but it'll be a long time till I get a PS5.
@3MonthBeef I see what you mean! Well, apart from R&C then.
Honestly; and this is going to sound silly but, Sackboy. Littlebigplanet is one of my favorite game franchises of all time and I didn't think they'd ever make another one, so I'm stoked!
