The year of our lord (Jim Ryan) 2023 is over. Forget it. It's in the past, and it's time to move on. We must look to the future, at all the wild and wonderful gaming to come in 2024. It's impossible to know exactly what this new year will bring, but we're going to give it a darn good try anyway, because it's tradition, and it's funny when we get it wrong. So, let's make some predictions, yeah? We can play our predictions safe, or go for the longest of long shots — it's all fair game. With precious I-was-right points at stake, let's all go through what we think PS5 and PS4 are in for in 2024.

Kingdom Hearts helps Disney overcome the darkness at D23.
Disney’s centenary year was a bit of a disaster, with numerous Box Office flops and very little for fans to look forward to on the horizon. It’s banking on this year’s D23 Expo, then, to rejuvenate interest – and I’m betting Kingdom Hearts 4 will do some of the heavy lifting. We already know Square Enix is deep into development on the anticipated sequel, and by the time August rolls around, it’ll have long fulfilled its marketing commitments to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth et al. I’m betting on a feature length trailer, showcasing some of the Disney worlds we can expect to explore in the final product – oh, and while this game’s expected on multiple platforms, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Sony locked it down as a timed console exclusive.
Zenless Zone Zero completes the holy gacha trifecta on PS5.
HoYoverse has gotten so big over the past few years that its games have started to compete with themselves. The enormous Chinese developer doesn’t look like it’s willing to relinquish its grip on the AAA gacha market, however, and will have another huge hit in 2024 in Zenless Zone Zero. While it’s currently only announced for “consoles”, I expect Sony will secure timed PS5 console exclusivity to this title, as it’s also done with Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. The release’s roguelite gameplay received a mixed response during its recent beta, but with its urban setting, attractive art style, and slick soundtrack, I’m expecting this to be another huge free-to-play hit.
Stellar Blade becomes a cult PS5 classic.
Shift Up will make its console debut in 2024 with the release of Stellar Blade, a game Sony has so much faith in it’s signed on as publisher and will help bring the action-adventure title to market. The South Korean developer has something of a scandalous reputation, and its only other notable title is the titillating smartphone shooter Goddess of Victory: Nikke, which hides a surprisingly dense narrative behind its obsessively animated asses. Consequently, I think the critical reception to this title may be lukewarm at best, but I’m expecting fans to rally around it and for it to ultimately achieve cult status among PlayStation enthusiasts.

Sony redeems itself with the best PlayStation Showcase in years.
I desperately hope the executives running PlayStation don't pay attention to the forums and Twitter threads spelling the company's downfall following last year's PlayStation Showcase, but I imagine the negative reaction must have gotten through to a few of them. As such, Sony will see this year's big digital event as a chance to redeem itself. Predominantly focusing on new single player games, there'll be multiple titles out of PlayStation Studios announced. I'll throw projects from Bluepoint Games and Suckerpunch Productions out there to nail my prediction down to something. You'll still see Concord as it's slated for 2024, but overall, the reception to this year's PlayStation Showcase will be a lot more positive.
Silent Hill 2 releases this year, and it's better than expected.
It seems strange for one of the best survival horror games of all time to occupy a position where it could launch "better than expected", but that's the reputation Bloober Team has at the moment. However, while its past projects have left a lot to be desired, I'd like to think Konami has kept the Polish team on a pretty tight leash, and so it has not changed too much of what made the PS2 classic so special. There's definitely going to be something that hardcore fans are furious about — perhaps a drastic change or additional content that doesn't work — but as a whole, the Silent Hill 2 remake will be remembered as one of 2024's best.
Naughty Dog announces one of its new single player projects.
Off the back of the disappointment surrounding the cancellation of The Last of Us Multiplayer, I think Naughty Dog will want to give fans something more positive to occupy their minds: one of the studio's new single player games. At some point this year, we'll be treated to a brief teaser that reveals the name, general setting, and vibes of the title. It'll be one of those trailers where the Naughty Dog logo is the big surprise right at the end because you wouldn't be able to guess based on the footage. If the trailer debuts at the very end of the year — at The Game Awards, for example — I think we get a 2026 release window.

Sony will release a new game from a classic PlayStation property.
Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but I've got this feeling in my gut that Sony will pull a few surprises in 2024 — and one of them will be the revival of a classic PlayStation property that's been left dormant for years. I'm not saying this project will be some massive AAA remake or a full-blown, big budget sequel, but it will make us hardcore fans sit up and take notice. As for what this mystery game will actually be... I have no idea.
Tekken 8 will get a DLC guest character from Final Fantasy.
Tekken 8 doesn't have any guest characters in its base roster, but you can bet your arse Bandai Namco will have one or two lined up for the game's post-launch DLC schedule. And since Final Fantasy 15's Noctis played a part in Tekken 7, I'm willing to bet that history will repeat itself — especially with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth being one of the most high profile releases of the year. Now look, Tifa is the obvious candidate here — and fans would absolutely lose their minds if it finally happened — but I could also envision someone like Clive, from Final Fantasy 16, getting the nod. This is really more of an educated guess than a crazy prediction, isn't it?
Baldur's Gate 3's inevitable expansion will be the highest rated release of 2024 (on Metacritic).
Baldur's Gate 3 was the greatest gaming revelation of 2023 for many, and there's just no way Larian Studios, currently swimming in Game of the Year awards and likely obscene profit margins, doesn't follow up its biggest ever release with a proper expansion (or two). I'm betting one of these additional adventures will launch at some point over the next 11 and a half months, and it'll be so bloody good that, by the end of the year, it'll command the highest Metacritic score of any video game released in 2024. For extra points, I'm predicting that it'll land on an eye-popping 95.

Third-party hits will carry Sony through a quiet year for PlayStation Studios.
It's well-documented that the platform holder has been keeping its cards very close to its chest the last few years. At the time of writing, the only confirmed first-party game from Sony's teams is Marvel's Wolverine, which may or may not make it out at the tail end of 2024. While we have second-party releases Helldivers 2 and Rise of the Ronin arriving in February, I think the rest of the calendar will be largely devoid of games from PlayStation Studios, and instead we'll be surviving on the many excellent titles coming from other sources. I hope Sony opens up a little this year and lets us in on what it has cooking, but I think it won't be launching much of its own software this year. That being said...
Sony will announce and release at least one PlayStation Studios PSVR2 game in 2024.
I think one of the few games flying the first-party banner this year will be a PSVR2 title. The hardware had a decent first year, but in addition to third party efforts, Sony needs to keep things ticking over with some support from its internal teams. Perhaps 2024 will see the arrival of Team Asobi's next Astro Bot game, for example — I could definitely see that championing PSVR2 and its Sense controllers.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League won't be the complete disaster many have decided it will be.
Now, don't get me wrong — I'm not saying this will be an unprecedented success. I just think enthusiasts have elected to believe this will be terrible, partly because it's not really the game Arkham fans wanted. That, to me, doesn't mean it'll be a complete fiasco. Rocksteady Studios has a great track record, and clearly a lot of love for DC's heroes and villains. I think the game will have its shortcomings, yes, but there will be redeeming qualities that mean it'll fare reasonably well in reviews, and even better in the eyes of its players. It might not be great, but I think it could be good.

2024 is the year of new IP.
The last handful of years have been excellent showcases of ongoing franchises for Sony. From Horizon to God of War and Spider-Man, there hasn’t been much new out for PlayStation players. 2024 as it stands is missing the big IP release, which isn’t a disaster because I think Sony will use this opportunity to launch one of its new IPs. A lot of our current PlayStation big hitters are franchises that made their debut during the PS4 era, so I think it’s about time we start looking to the future with some new IP. There will undoubtedly be one placeholder Sony icon chucked in there, but I’d love to see the next wave of PlayStation stars.
PS5 Pro will be announced and launched this year.
It seems inevitable at this point, but I think we’ll see the announcement (and potentially the launch) of the PS5 Pro in 2024. It’s been rumoured and discussed for a long time, but looking back on the PS4 life cycle and when the PS4 Pro launched, 2024 sort of lines up. We’re roughly around the assumed half-way point of the PS5’s life span, and now that major developers are beginning to move away from PS4, we’re able to push things even further with PS5 technology. Rumours suggest the Pro will come with its own version of DLSS, so we’ll see if that’s enough to warrant the upgrade when it comes.
2024 will be a quietly decent year for PSVR2.
This really is a gamble. PSVR2’s first year was a mixed bag, with brilliant tech and some truly stellar games, but outside a handful of platform exclusives, 2023 didn’t give us too many reasons to choose PSVR2 over others like the Meta Quest 3. Heading into its sophomore year, we really don’t know much of what’s in store for PSVR2, but I’m remaining optimistic that Sony will keep plugging away with some decent VR games. I’m hoping for maybe another big exclusive, some hallmark remasters like SUPERHOT, and a decent number of cool third party titles. I don’t think it’s going to be a year to scream about, but I hope Sony is committed to the long game to secure PSVR2’s future.

Baldur's Gate 3 gets a proper expansion, announced and released in 2024.
It's incredible how well Baldur's Gate 3 has managed to stay in the gaming zeitgeist, considering it was released more than six months ago. And yet, still, rabid fans clamour for more. Larian Studios appears to be a fairly well-oiled machine at this point, proof of this being the insane speed with which it deploys patches and how expansive each one is. There is time for both an announcement and a release in 2024, a properly meaty expansion in the old style. Maybe a bit bullish, but Blood and Wine was released only a year after The Witcher 3, and I want to believe!
PlayStation Portal turns out to be a surprising success story for Sony.
The PlayStation Portal definitely seemed like a bit of a dud at the outset, but nevertheless, it has managed to make itself an invaluable part of many players' arsenals. I think that as the year goes on, the device will continue to pick up steam, buoyed perhaps by discounts and continued positive word of mouth. It's still quite tough to get, and so once supply issues start to ease, I predict Sony will announce some hard numbers, and they will be respectable. It won't be enough to make a Vita 2 happen, though.
Focus shifts back to single-player, and live service games start to go away.
Sony's bet on live service this generation, seemingly Jim Ryan's obsession, has had some successes but more failures. Nowhere was this more apparent than with Bungie and Destiny 2, and the studio's sudden fall from grace seems to have been a real wake-up call for many in the industry. The firm has already gone back on its ambitious plan to release 12 service games before 2026; I think we see a re-commitment from PlayStation's first party to traditional single-player, slowly moving away from risky live service bets and likely announcing some far safer sequels.
Prescient or pathetic? Either way, these are our predictions for PS5 and PS4 in 2024. What do you think 2024 will bring us? Gaze into your own crystal balls in the comments section below.

I agree, suicide squad won't be as bad as the previews have been saying.
Another note I wish I could get the portal. Its no where to be found in the UK!
Fairgame$ and Concorde are also confirmed 1st party games, people seem to forget these, but in all honesty I don't blame them.
Fingers crossed Liam is right about the bangin showcase. It’s been too quiet for too long.
based on all those predictions, it looks like a boring and dire year for ps5 and the AAA industry at large.
a few predictions of my own:
2024 is the year of JRPG's.
@Hellaween I've been looking for the Portal for weeks now and no sign of any stock, your best option is buying off ebay for £260.
Overall I'm quite looking forward to 2024, I have a plan set out spending wise which will see me pick up the PlayStation Portal and the PSVR2 this year, and possibly add the Switch 2 to the list. And in terms of games I couldn't be any happier as there's a tonne of great looking JRPG's coming out. Hopefully to top it all off Sony produce a bangin showcase with 3-4 new single player games shown and the Horizon Online game.
No matter what self-proclaimed doomsday experts say, 2024 will be another very good year for the PS5. Although I think 2025 will be even better. Many people don't realize how successful GTA 6 will be and will move more consoles than any Spider-Man or God of War.
2024 will essentially be a year of transition and Sony knows it too.
2024 is the year I’ve been waiting for, to play all of the games on my backlog list. 😂
A Switch 2 could change that, but it probably won’t release until the holidays at this point, but hopefully we have some new game news to talk about in a few months. I haven’t played a new Mario Kart in almost a decade and a new 3D Mario for half that.
My predictions are:
Helldivers 2 is a moderate success and leads to Sony acquiring Arrowhead Games.
A new Twisted Metal is announced for a 2025 release to coincide with series 2 of the TV show.
New Astro game releases this year that can be played on PS5 and PSVR2.
Concord releases late 2024 but struggles to find a decent player base.
This year Sony will not have a game in the running for GOTY at The Game Awards for the first time in 10 years.
Moon Studio's No Rest for the Wicked will be the highest rated PS5 game this year.
Horizon Zero Dawn remake releases in September this year...much old man shouts at cloud energy ensures.
And finally Insomniac will announce a Venom game.
Live service games aren't going anywhere. They make too much money; money that Sony will need to keep investing in our beloved, but increasingly expensive single player games.
I could see Larian announcing an expansion for BG3, but not releasing it this year. Both of their recent Divinity games were well loved successes and never got expansions, and BG3 was in production for 6 years. Larian also said there are practical issues with having OP characters in DnD beyond the BG3 level cap.
Suicide squad will be a great success but for all the wrong reasons and won't last long.
Like all the good feedback regarding the game, is its a good fun looter shooter.
Like I've been saying all along, looter shooter with a dc comics skin over the top of it.
RockSteady has totally forgot what made them have legendary status in the first place.
Just to remind them epic story, tight comic gameplay and an amazing atmosphere and characters, they brought batman to life.
This game is a real kick in the teeth. They so could of made a great single player suicide squad game without standard looter shooter gameplay.
I dont see us getting much on the first party this year, maybe team Asobi with a duel ps5 and psvr2 game.
I'm really hoping for an amazing showcase though.
The thing is though we all know Sony has the games, they are coming so we are literally just moaning that they haven't shown us the goods yet hahaha its not even the fact there isn't the games coming. We all know they are.
I did not think that I would like PlayStation Portal, but now I can't put it down and play it more than PS5 on big screen. Great to have with other family members watching TV while I hang with them playing Portal. Wish that Sony would consider Vita 2. PS5 is finally free of PS4 , but PS5 Pro seems a bit early. For predictions, I would love Sony to surprise us with a brand new Jak and Daxter or Sly Cooper. Maybe try again with Sony doing another first person shooter. And maybe something more niche like Locoroco.
@TrickyDicky99 No one even knows what Concord is. Usually, a teaser trailer at least gives a brief idea of what the game is. That trailer gave us nothing. Fairgame$ is at least known to be a heist game.
I think I agree with most of this, except the Baldur’s Gate 3 expansion. I think that may be a 2025 release. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter to me so much, but I could see Larian being ballsy enough to challenge GTA6.
I do expect a decent showcase from Sony, but it’s going to be a lot of stuff we already know and I think some will criticize it for playing safe in some aspects.
Stellar Blade is the odd game this year. Not sure if it’s gunning to be the next Nier Automata or… a modernized late era PS2 game. I’m looking forward to it.
I think this is gonna be an even worse year for the industry than last year. We’re only a couple days into the year and so many big tech companies have already done layoffs. It’s the same state without the big releases for many companies bringing in revenue.
For Sony specifically, I think we’re gonna see Xbox 2022 levels of bare releases. Sony, besides the PS5 blow out showcase, has tended to announce their first party releases far in advance. So far the only games on the horizon are Fairgame$, Concord and Wolverine. Two of them are live service (one of them having no info and the other one being hated) and the other one not releasing this year. I don’t think Sony will reveal and release something like GoT 2 in a year. I think Jim Ryan’s push for live service is gonna affect this gen more than people realize. Dev times have gotten way longer, so if any first party games get announced they’re either gonna be single player games very far out from release, or live service games with some process (which isn’t an ideal scenario either way).
It shows how terribly Sony have treated PSVR2 that predicting them just to release a single game for it counts as a long shot.
I feel it’s time for naughty dog to bounce back.
Would love to see some new games from Sonys old IP like Jak or sly or whatever.
My predictions:
PS5 pro launches this year with a similar design to the base. The base model gets a price cut.
Twisted metal game announcement by firesprite.
New astrobot game announced and released this year, has a vr2 mode. Goty contender.
Major single player game announced and released during the holidays (possibly bluepoint, either new uncharted or god of war spinoff)
Showcase closes with either teaser of naughty dog new game or Santa Monica new ip from Cory
Psplus 3.0 announced: ps2 and PS3 native games. PC and mobile first party games included. Crunchyroll is added to plus premium
Concord is released and a massive hit.
God of war/horizon cast is revealed
Horizon zero dawn remaster is real, 10 upgrade.
So many big games from Japan. Whether its first, second, third party, i know im eating good this year. More my taste than 2023 was
I think this is going to be the year we see the extent to which Jim Ryan focused on live service. If live service was in addition to the usual single player experiences, we'll likely see a very strong single player focused showcase sometime this year with 2025/2026 being very strong for PS Studios.
On the other hand, if Jim Ryan basically forced all the studios to work on live service instead of the usual single player experiences then I think Sony will be very quiet this year and any showcase would be like last year's one.
Overall pretty nice stuff but I feel like second party is highly underestimated in general. It's not like Harry Potter is going to carry ps this year. Those games don't "happen to be" on PS, Sony paid those games, in many cases they even put their own devs to help and they are as valuable as first party games. Helldivers at 40 can mean a lot for smaller ps games in the future.
"Focus shifts back to single-player, and live service games start to go away"
This please, please
Dragon quest news is what I want 😅
I really hope we'll get a trailer for Ghost of Tsushima 2. And maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but a debut trailer showing gameplay. Because gameplay will tell me it could be a 2025 or worst case, 2026 game. If we get a teaser with no gameplay, it's probably 2-3 years out at least. Considering the first game is going to be 4 years old this year, you hope the sequel is coming within the next year or two.
Stellar blade can not wait for that game!
Single player games are the best.more first party games is welcome.a new ip from PlayStation is definitely gonna happen.its going to be fun.word up son
The reason we still call this generation of PS5 and XBX ‘next gen’ is because nothing has turned up yet that feels special that couldn’t have been on the last generation. I would like to see Playstation make games that are more inventive and unusual than just shinier open world sequels. Stuff like The Last Guardian or Parappa or Buzz really made Playstation feel unique, now we just get the same sandbox game with different skins on it.
@theSpectre The revealed what it is in a blog post, it's a PVP first person shooter
https://blog.playstation.com/2023/05/24/introducing-concord-a-new-pvp-multiplayer-fps-from-firewalk-studios-coming-to-ps5-and-pc/
My predictions:
1. EDF6 launches and is the best game of all time, all other 2024 projects cancelled.
2. Dino Crisis Remake announced/released with PSVR2 support
3. Some sort of PlayStation Plus revamp for better or worse
PS5 Pro in near enough time for some games I actually want to play
@Hellaween Yeah, it could be worse. I have to assume Rocksteady showed their best at the preview event but the response has been pretty unflattering. Add to that the unimpressive gameplay footage released today.
Wow... wishful thinking and hopeful wishes, full of them this article is : )
Let's take a few of them on, shall we?
Silent Hill 2... I agree that it's gonna be good (not exceptionally, but around the 7-8 rating)... but i'm also sure it's gonna stir a TON of social media drama. Because there is no way the devs are gonna be "spared", they were doomed from the moment they accepted this task. If the game sticks faithfully to the original, gamers are gonna cry there is no new content aside from the improved graphics. If the game will include new content, all fans of the original will cry foul, saying the devs "desecrated" the OG game... As FFDP said in one of their songs: "damned if I do, damned if I don't, damned if I will, damned if I won't"... that's Bloober's case.
Sony releases the best showcase in years... not gonna happen. My money's on repeating last year's format, concentrating a lot on the 3rd party games, and maybe throwing in one PS studios exclusive game so that people don't say they didn't show anything from their own "yard". Unfortunately, nutjob "fans" are to blame, because ever since people harassed the Sony Santa Monica devs over God Of War Ragnarok at the end of June 2022, Sony steadily but constantly reduced the amount of time from release they announce a game in advance. Last example happened just a month ago, when God Of War Valhalla DLC was announced just before releasing. So unless PS studios launch more games just after the Showcase, only 1, best case 2 exclusive IP announcements will be made, simply because they "have to" not because they "want to"...
Third-party hits will carry Sony through a quiet year for PlayStation Studios. - this I actually agree with, 100%.
Naughty dog announces one of their single player IP's - again, not gonna happen. We already know that they started working on something, that they won't release until 2025 or 2026. And as I've stated above, due to past online harassment cases, Sony's new obvious policy is to announce new releases as close to the launch date as possible, to protect their devs as much as they can...
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League won't be the complete disaster many have decided it will be - of course not! ... It's gonna have ratings around 7, it's gonna be played by many for 1-2 weeks after launch, then social media drama comes, then the game will be review bombed to hell and back, then abandoned and forgotten... like other GAAS games out there...
PS5 Pro will be announced and launched this year. - this one is a given. The quantity and content of rumors is in exactly the right amount for this to be true. The release will happen in the usual Q4 period, with an announcement somewhere around September.
EDIT
Speaking of hopeful wishes... does anyone know what's Bluepoint working on? It's been over 3 years since their last release, an not even a peep. Maybe it's Bloodborne related, and they're preparing a sequel or at least a Remake for the PS5 Pro... one can only hope we'll finally find out this year.
Can’t wait for Suicide Squad to release.
I’m not going to buy it or play it.
I’m excited because I will have lots of videos to watch from my favourite gaming YouTubers, as they report on the unfolding catastrophe.
A bit like when Cyberpunk launched, but without the bitter sweet taste. This time it will be all sweet, as the GAS fad dies with it.
Yeah there will still be Division and Destiny games in future, but the days of every other game being destroyed by the money grabbing antics will be over!
@SgtTruth if this does become the case then honestly it will be for the best. GAAS is why there have been so few new games out of PlayStation, as the company is so invested in this trash that they’re quickly realizing the investment is more intense than they thought. Hence naughty dog canceling that last of us online thing.
@Grimwood " way more games "
I mean quality, not quantity. 🤷♂️
While I can certainly appreciate some positivity, I feel as though you guys are setting yourselves up for utter disappointment with this many rose-colored predictions.
My prediction is that ps5 is going to struggle this year but hopefully some new announcements will make them bounce back next year. Xbox is finally getting interesting with the direct next week and the AKB games to hit enmasse and with a new nintendo console normally comes a new 3d mario which will be goty material as always. I enjoy all 3 consoles to varying degrees (ps5 mostly) but got the oled steam deck from the Mrs for Xmas and it's just something else, think there's plenty to look forward to across all platforms this year 👍
@AdamNovice No Rest For the Wicked is a game I’m looking forward to very much. I can’t wait to see more.
I hope you’re all right with these Astobot predictions 🤞🏻😍
I'd love to see someone unexpected pop up with an impactful all new IP. In a time where Xbox is clearly trying to compete with big acquisitions, it'd be nice to see a smaller studio just organically grow into something much bigger before us, once again.
I'm also interested to see if anything gets shown from all the new studios that started when everyone with talent left every other corporate run studio, it may be a bit soon, but so many great devs left to do their own things with key players from some of the biggest games ever released being free to be creative, rather than profit focused. Usually that kind of passionate work leads to big profits anyway, and it all takes care of itself.
Basically we just want more games released on any platform that are made how they used to be, without corperate meddling, forced live service, trend thirst, and all this nonsense we've been seeing the last few years. I have faith that not all new games will be hampered by these ever growing trends, but it might be a bit of a rough year first.
Give us games you believe in, that's all we want 😁
Kiryu in Tekken 8 since yakuza is in different hands now. While I'm at it, a souls/sekiro character if soul calibur ever comes back.
@Atreus97 hopefully sony branches out to their other dormant ips and platformers . they still haven’t done it yet
There are a lot of games I’m looking forward to this year. I just want more info on Stellar Blade.
Thanks for the thought-provoking content.
I felt like 2023 cemented my assertions that PlayStation in recent times have made more mistakes than good decions. And so 2024 will correct some.
Here's my prediction... the PS Plus will go up in price again and the games will get worse and worse, the VR2 will never be discounted nor will there be a Sony game for them, the store will suffer a drop that will leave it inoperative for many days, the PS5 PRO will come out that will be of no use because all the games will work perfectly on the normal PS5 but despite everything they will sell more and more.
Knack 3 without a doubt
@Hellaween Neither the android version of the backbone
After 27 years of having PlayStation products I predict this is my last year. Didn't buy a single game last year for it. I've been wrong before mind.
BG3 DLC gets rave reviews from Push Square and elsewhere and continues to innovate the genre.
BG3 again doesn't top the GOTY list because Push Square reviewers for whom its genre "isn't for me" can't be bothered to play or appreciate what a groundbreaking achievement it is and vote for a safe, pretty, well-polished game that is made by a Sony studio or is a PS5 exclusive but is ultimately lacking in actual innovation and impact.
I would pay whatever If Sony would release remastered versions of Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to arms. Those two games were freaking awesome on ps2. I know people are tired of remasters. But something like those two games are definitely old enough to be remastered. They would be like brand new game to younger players and just be amazing for older gamers to revisit. Id love for Socom to return but there are shooters like GR wildlands and breakpoint that I say are what Socom would have evolved into. Champions of norrath and champions return to arms id much rather be remastered at this point.
I don't know why but I have this feeling that comparing to PS4 at the same age, PS5 has no games!
@Porco wow! Dear PS staff, please add this comment to your article!
I really don’t think we’ll get a PS5 pro at all. What is the point??? Not a chance i’m upgrading my PS5, £500 or so, just to get 4K 120 fps!! Every story you’ve seen about PS5 pro has been rumours, guess work. Sony have said nothing!!
I remember wen PS5 launched, some complained that the PS5 wasn’t worth it, there isn’t much improvement over the PS4! Even tho there’s a huge difference. If they release a PS5 pro the difference between that and a PS6 will be even less. The PS4 pro made sense wat with 4K becoming popular. Releasing a new, full price console that’s only slightly better is pointless!! They could have done this with PS1, PS2, PS3 but they didn’t! Why would they now???
Just a personal preference, but if Sony does revive a long dormant franchise, I hope it’s the Resistance series
