PlayStation Studios Has More than 25 PS5 Games in the Works, Jim Ryan Reiterates

Didn't Mark Cerny say, ps5 game would take around month? It looks like christmas would be full of new games. 🙂

Well that really good because it has been one of the leanest years in memory. I hate 1st years after new consoles are released for this reason though

And I'm pretty sure 90% will be system seller, 90+ metacritic blockbusters.... I hope

We all love new IPs. But honestly, I would sell my nan for the Order 1887.

@lolwhatno Days Gone 2 was cancelled/never greenlit, sorry to ruin the day

I wonder how many of these are coming to PS4 and PC.

@Grumblevolcano And there it is. 🙄😴

can't get even vaguely get excited about stats, gameplay trailers, that's another thing

@Grumblevolcano you've rattled the cage now..cant unring that bell..

I mean most of their consoles exclusives have been stellar. It's just they have to strategically deploy their big hitters at the right time to keep their big money rival guessing.

@LiamCroft I think it's interesting though. As Sony has absolutely no interest in creating a Vita successor, Sony going further into the PC space means Steam Deck has the potential to essentially be a Vita successor. Regarding PS4 it'll be interesting to see how long the platform gets supported.

New IP is great news. I really hope the vast majority of these titles in the works aren't cross-gen. Nobodies not had value out of the PS4 by now. I don't want to see games finally take full advantage of the ps5...only for them to announce a ps5 pro alongside them. This time next year I hope Sony will shift focus away from PS4.

I'm hoping for Tokyo Jungle 2, MAG 2, Killzone & Resistance VR Collections and Motorstorm 4.

Am I going to get any of those? Probably not. Like Logen Ninefingers said: "You have to be realistic about these things".

@Bleachedsmiles I think that's all dependent on stock availability of the PS5 and even Sony have reduced production capacity as they can't get the parts.

Until the console is visible out in the wild, with say 15m PS5s by the end of the year versus 80m active PS4s, it's a hard argument for devs to shut down the larger player base.

Resistance trilogy remastered.sly cooper collection remastered.syphin filter.parasite eve remake similar gameplay to final fantasy 7 remake.dragon dogma 2.medievil 2 remake.infamous remake.word up son

Hopefully there's a bit more genre diversity in Sony's AAA offerings this gen.

As it stands, of their surviving IPs, only Horizon is doing anything for me at the moment.

I'd love to see them invest more heavily in RPG projects going forward.

@Grumblevolcano New projects supporting PS4 seems unlikely. People whine about cross-platform games atm, but probably most of those started out like as PS4 projects and have been in development for years.

PC is a lot more likely, although not right away. If Sony has any sense, they'll stagger PC ports of their first-party games significantly.

The thing that really bothers me about the video game industry is how cloak and dagger everything is and in my view, its completely unnecessary. Why all the secrecy around who is working on what projects, why all the secrecy (from some quarters at least) surrounding sales figures and earnings, it is so daft in my opinion.

You don't see it in the movie industry and it doesn't have any impact at all on the sales and excitement for the movies being made. I can go on IMDB now and see precisely which projects any given actor, writer, musician or director is working on and have coming out over the next 2 or 3 years.

I can maybe appreciate that developers want that big PR moment when a title is revealed but the thing that I utterly hate is the embargo culture that surrounds games "journalism". In my opinion, journalists en' mass should just make it clear to the publishers that either you want us to talk about your game or you don't, but we are no longer going to have you place completely arbitrary restrictions on what we can show or say.

I'm really excited to see what Pixelopus & Bluepoint have in the works

I hope one of those 25 is a new Bloodborne or a Demon's Souls 2 following the "pure" souls formula.

@Kopite

Defo, I feel like Pixelopus particularly are often overlooked but Concrete Genie was a bona fide classic in my book.

@LiamCroft
Funny. I have the same reaction every time a new article is posted here about an issue with the GTA remaster.

@lolwhatno i thought the sales where really dissapointing only after a sale it took off. And with development of years they probably dont want to do games that only sell after heavy discounts.

@BoldAndBrash I really have not heard anybody complain about the physics? And the game was a massive succes in sales so why change the formula?

I just can’t get excited about statements like this. We know they can talk the talk but it would be nice to see them walk the walk occasionally too. It’s like they only just started working on PS5 games when the console was already on the shelves.

How long was PS5 in development? ...And so far we have just a handful of exclusives. We can blame the pandemic to a point but it doesn’t make it any less disappointing or lacklustre.

And XBox has Forza and Halo with no innovation. 😂

Hoping that one is a continuation of Uncharted.

Hoping another is a remaster of Warhawk (PS3) with an added single player campaign.

Not a big fan of what Sony has brought to the table this first year for PS5 but that doesn't reflect their quality... they're simply not my cup of tea.

Its already been established that alot of these are GaaS and Mp only games, so dont get to excited about this statement. Theres a turning of the tides coming from PS. Their just trying to slowly do it, so its not a complete shock to the PS faithful.

All £70 each? Say it ain’t so Jim

@fR_eeBritney i partly hold the whole cyberpunk fiasco to blame..i wonder how many games were at the stage where they could have possibly released and after 20 or so patches they would be how they were originally intended...after cyberpunk i think devs shat themselves and put aside a few more months to make sure they are at least fit for purpose..yeah that pandemic hasnt helped much either..

@Lovespuds I second that.

exciting times thank you jim, wolvey game cant wait!

@Grumblevolcano I would expect some of these games to make it to PC. PS4 might also be likely given the shortage of PS5 isn’t going away anytime soon

@velio84 well, it’s a timed console exclusive but the KOTOR remake is coming to PS5.

Oh and yeah it is also PC bound too

@Ralizah I do hope some of these games are catered to Japanese audiences. Sony isn’t doing too well in Japan right now.

Also regarding whether these new games for PS5 will be cross gen or coming to PC. More likely it will be coming to PC eventually. But I would not be surprised if some of these 25 PS5 exclusives do wound up being back ported to PS4 considering the stock issues for PS5. Sony did say that Miles Morales and GT7 were gonna be PS5 only releases but looks what happened (not that I am really upset about it too much tbh)

@Atreus97 or Gamepass

PS5 showed again why it's never good to be an early adopter on a new console. First year PS5 owners are basically beta testing it.

@Ken_Kaniff Only 3 we really know of so far out of 25 unless factions isn't being counted within the 25 then it's 2. Sony aren't going to just abandon single player games, it's what they excel at. I'm happy for them to diversify their portfolio but it doesn't mean I'll play everything.

With Bethesda no longer a 3rd party Sony have now got to come up with something to rival stuff like Elder Scrolls/Fallout/Doom and I'm looking forward to finding out what they're working on!

@UltimateOtaku91 I am sure a lot of it will be system sellers but earning 90+ on Metacritic though...

I mean, getting like an 75 or above on Metacritic makes a game pretty good too. Heck even 80s are pretty good too.

Tbh I haven't seen a lot of PS4 exclusives earning 90+ on Metacritic. The only one that I know of (so far, I don't know many PS exclusives) is God Of War 2018 but that isn't Playstation exclusive anymore

@MightyDemon82 The Last of Us remake, new Uncharted game, Spider-Man 2, Wolverine, Ghost of Tsushima 2, and more.

I am just guessing on some of them. 2 of what I said is confirmed but I am guessing the other ones

I'm sure those 25 games are in development for PS5. Just like GoW, GT7, and HFW were in development for 2021. See you on PS6, new IPs!

Except, of course, Kratos' Krazy Kart Racing (also on mobile), Returnal Match 3 (also on mobile), Alloy's Arrow Arena (Epic Game's Store Exclusive), and the F2P Uncharted Universe.

@BoldAndBrash I didnt start yet on the game it looks fantastic and it looks smooth ill get back at you when i have played it.

If the game didnt play any good then im certain it would not have sold these numbers thats for sure.
But again ill try it for myself so i can make up my mind.

@NEStalgia Horizon is almost releasing and GT7 about thise 2021 annoucements then were nevee officially announced. People tend to mix leaks and official releases.

@anoyonmus Its a console exclusive still and after several years its possible to play it on PC.

@Flaming_Kaiser but its not TRUE exclusive though. That is what I meant. And still, it is coming to PC

@Flaming_Kaiser I don't recall if GT7 was officially stated as Launch Window, but I remember that being discussion. However, Sony did run ads that stated "first half of 2021." So it's missing that by a wide margin. And of course there's GoW:R which officially said 2021 during the PS5 unveil event. And then they updated it to "2022", and then days after that, Cory said "When it's ready" and something about not knowing when it will release which made 2022 sound iffy, but I assume it really will be out in 2022.

The point, though, is Jim and official statements list dates that make "business sense" for them to push the platform even if there's not a wing and a prayer of it actually releasing anywhere near then.

So a list of "25 games in development for PS5, half of them new IPS", anonymously named, I think we can safely bet a chunk of those are PS6 games or games that will become vaporware between now and release.

@NEStalgia if there is one i learnt is to not take lying ryan seriously. He has contradicted himself and sounded stupid on many occassions

Jim let’s have a Xmas PSX to show them off then yeah like we used to?!

I hope one of those 25 is a new sly cooper!

That is nice, but I played more 3rd party games in 2021 than Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft 1st party combined.

Nintendo: Metroid Dread (for 3 hrs if that counts)
Microsoft: Forza 5
Sony: Iki Island (DLC if that counts) / Ratchet and Clank

1st party are never enough. For all the talk, It can be months before there is one I actually care to play.

What 3rd party games a console fills those gaps with - is what really matters in my book

@lolwhatno
The game that was not green lit was more of the same cross gen (and likely multiplayer ) I much prefer if they make a full current gen only. Just magine what they could do with it
I think Days Gone 2 will be made later.

clearly only half of those will be AAA games. that is fine, but people need to be releastic.

My mate's uncle's friend knows Jim Ryan as they went to the same cooking class back in '07. I can exclusively confirm the full list of games is;

Sackboy Tetris
The Care Bears MMO
Knack VR
Mama Mia 2
Street Fighter Gamma
Sonic 06 HD Remaster
Silent Hill 8
Silent Hill 8 Remix
The Last Of Us Part 2 Demake
Mega Man 2 HD
Crazy Bus
Hello Kitty Kart
GTA MK
God of War - What Is It Good For
Mortal Kombat 3000
Avengers Disassembled
Short Circuit 2
Red Dead Revolver
C64 Collection
Space Chase Race Face Place
Tempest 1000
Way of The Warrior 2
Chess
CDi Collection
EastEnders The Movie, The Game

They will all release simultaneously on PS4, PS5 and PSP with PC releases happening in 2022.

@__jamiie What about Lair 2?? I believed Emily Rogers!

@NEStalgia Lair 2 unfortunately is stuck in development hell. Apparently the Devs are waiting for Sony to introduce SixAxis motion controls into the PS5 controller. It'll be called SixthSense but won't be out until 2024. ☹️

@BoldAndBrash Thats fantastic i just want to finish games and go on another yourney with a new one when ik done. Everything sounds great and maybe that thing wont bother me that much lets hope for the best. Backlog is a bitch. 🤪

@__jamiie Oh . Deep Down is still a timed exclusive, though, right?

I wonder if they are actually PS5 games, or are they new PS4 games that happen to work on the PS5?

I’m especially looking forward to the games already announced, like Horizon II: Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, and God of War: Ragnarok. I’m also really anticipating what studios such as Naughty Dog, Team Asobi, and Sucker Punch have up their sleeves. I still hope for either a remaster or perhaps a remake of The Legend of Dragoon, but I know that’s not very likely. Oh well, there’s still plenty of JRPG support for PS5 and PS4 from various Japanese developers anyways. It may not be as big in Japan as the Nintendo Switch, but the fact is there’s still a really sizable audience both in and out of Japan who play of PlayStation platforms — even with the competition from Nintendo Switch and PC.

Aside from first party exclusives, I’m especially eager to find out more about Final Fantasy XVI, as well as the inevitable sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake. Both of those might be some time away from now, though. I’m also hoping that they’ll announce a new Kingdom Hearts game next year for the series’ 20th anniversary. And we just got an announcement recently that I thought would never happen: Star Ocean! Even if it’s not among the best Star Ocean games or not absolutely amazing, I’m still incredibly thankful that Square Enix and Tri Ace are making another Star Ocean at all. That by itself is such a miracle to me, and although it probably won’t be as good as the likes of Star Ocean: Second Evolution, Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, or Star Ocean: The Last Hope, I’m very much looking forward to it regardless of how it turns out.

I personally think there’s a lot to look forward to and be thankful for regarding future games on PS5.

@OmegaStriver Or are they PC games that happen to work on PS4 and PS5?

@NEStalgia Yeah but it requires the Sega Saturn 4mb RAM cartridge otherwise it doesn't play. 😧

@__jamiie I'm ok with that. At least it doesn't require PS Vita Memory Cards!

@NEStalgia They will definitely be PC games one day. Sony has already shown that. Sony is going to really hinder their hardware division in the future and then will lean into software distribution even more heavily. PlayStation games WILL eventually launch day 1 on PC.

@MightyDemon82 You make a valid point, bit you can tell Jim Ryan wants Sony to get in on the GaaS action. Im sure if they make alot off of it they'll further go in that direction. Like you said they'll still pump out sp games of there well know IPs, but wouldn't bet on us seeing many new sp IPs that we did during the PS4.

@NEStalgia I genuinely just bought one of those rip off things yesterday for my new Japanese Vita. £25 pre-owned from CEX! After all this time??? Ridiculous.

Little did I know that I could have just used an N64 Rumble Pak and it works exactly the same. Boy is my face red.

@Kingdom_Hearts95 What about Space Chase Race Face Place? I think that's going to be an absolute banger. And PS exclusive (for now).

@__jamiie Lol, there's this tiny part of me that now actually wants to try that.....

@OmegaStriver definitely. I'm not entirely opposed to it. I'm super critical of Ryan, but the PC thing is one place he might be right. For now it's a completely different parallel market. The only place pc and ps overlap is enthusiasts like us, and we already know we're an insignificant part of ps's real market now. Plus their main competitor in Ms is already doing it so it's not a competitive disadvantage either. Realistically I think he's hedging bets that the future of local gaming hardware for the masses has a finite future. Enthusiasts will buy, but ps is now a brand for the masses, like Nintendo, and that market probably will move away from dedicated hardware in the next 2 generations, either to streaming or just do-it-all mobile devices. Switch is like a 2013 phone and is doing just as well as PS5 in sales. I imagine the phones of 2033 will really be capable consoles anyway. Maybe ps6 is just an xperia2? 😆

I still think Ryan is a disaster for PlayStations future, or at least the PlayStation we know and love. But the PC thing probably is smart...

@Bleachedsmiles I wish they never would have supported making games cross-gen, specifically HFW and GoW.

@sanderson72 They could be like Nintendo and keep their prices high for PS5 games and those people will play them when they play them. I don’t support hindering what a game could be because some people aren’t able to get a PS5. I didn’t buy a PS5 to play PS4 games.

@Flaming_Kaiser I hate hearing a game is a cOnSoLe exclusive even though it is on PC. If a game is available to play on anything other than it’s original platform, it’s NOT exclusive.

That comes across way more aggressive than intended. Unless money is an issue for a gamer or you don’t care about getting the best experience, you wouldn’t pick an Xbox over a PC. Now, Sony is following Microsoft’s same footsteps and making the experience of gaming on a PC a much better choice than buying a PlayStation. Sony’s not there yet, but they are heading that way.

The big difference between Microsoft pushing gamers to PC and Sony pushing gamers to PC is that Microsoft still makes a ton off of people buying PCs.

CORRECTION - He meant - 'PlayStation Studios Has More than 25 PC Games in the Works' After 23 years of listening to SONY going on about the PS brand I am finally not even going to listen anymore to them and just play the games and that is it. Bored of all this hype :-/

@OmegaStriver PC day 1 releases is almost a certainty. But playstation aren't going to end up releasing games on Xbox and Nintendo because of it. The future for playstation, and Xbox, hasn't been hardware based for awhile now - this should be becoming more obvious. It's service based. Which is why Xbox push gamepass so heavily...and why Sony is finally following suit with investing more in psnow. And partnered with Microsoft last year with cloud based technology.
Just as more and more of us moved to digital. More and more of us will move to subscription over hardware. This will be for a few reasons too - the level of entry (you can get Netflix on any smart TV - they want the same with gamepass/psnow). And they'll eventually alienate us with hardware prices/lack of stock, mid-gen hardware refreshes, increased install sizes. Download times for patches, ect.

Exclusives are always going to be a thing - they need to be in order to attract you to a service over another one. All streaming services have exclusives for this reason. And Xbox and playstation don't buy up studios to not have exclusive content on their services.
But, though it may annoy the 'hardcore gamers'...the reality is the vast majority of PlayStation's current install base, right this second, are casual gamers. They're not going to buy a high end gaming pc to play ps5 games on. They want something that can just go under the TV and just works when they play it.
Sony know this. MS know this. The small portion of gamers that will not pick up a series X or ps5 and instead spend more on a gaming pc is slim compared to the money those games and services gain from the pc market. They're not daft. They've run the numbers. The ones that say this will effect hardware are only the ones trapped inside the bubble of gaming forums.
Fighting against PC ports is a losing battle. What we should be fighting for is equality from playstation. Question why they're still placing paywalls on multiplayer for us when they won't be for those same games/same experiences on another platform...

@lolwhatno imagine days gone...but a higher resolution and 60fps... As it has to hit PS4 too. Done.

@Umar you sir are very intelligent. Jim is stupid and limited men who lives on succes of his former bosses. And Hermen is not far behind. Get Kaz Hirai back pls

I still have hope that Falllout 4 VR was among the contracts worked out with Sony before XB aquired Zenimax. The game came out for PCVR long ago so plans could easily have been made to release it on PS after PS5 came out, or maybe after PSVR2 at this point. Fallout 76 and Skyrim have both gotten support so XB may just allow it anyway since it's not a new game, or a game they can put on XB anyway. Might as well get paid.

Resistance deserves a remake. Would love to play as Nathan Hale again with hybrid abilities, especially considering the tone these days could be much more mature. Would love it to lean into horror more as well. PS5 could use an exclusive shooter and I preferred Resistance to Killzone. Hard to imagine Insomniac working on this alongside Spidey 2 and Wolverine, so for now I'd accept a remaster of the original trilogy made by another studio.

I also really hope Naughty Dog's next game after LoU MP is an open world RPG. PS needs an epic Western RPG. With the PS5's super fast SSD, this might finally be the right time for NG to be able to achieve their standard of visual excellence in an open world, loading high res textures near instantly with their crazy technomagic. They were already making worlds somewhat more open in Lost Legacy and LoU2 so maybe that was a small first step. Im reaching hard with this one and it's unlikely, but NG always do something very new when they do a new IP. If they are doing the space sci-fi game that was rumored, then open world would seem much more likely.

One of them BETTER be a Legend of Dragoon remake. 😄 That would sell me on the PS5 instantly. Lol

@UltimateOtaku91 except the MM’s and smaller studios

@lolwhatno Same here it was one of the worst firstparty launches in ages. It shows how lucky we are with firstparty titles.

@invictus4000

A kindred spirit i really would love to see that happen i would even take a full hd PS4 update with a bit of polish.

@Ralizah that’s exactly how I feel! They’ve got to diversify because as it is now it’s pretty stale. Here’s to hoping.

@OmegaStriver Its not only money i just dispise playing on PC. And it has been a exclusive game for 3 plus years. I dont want to put effort in my relaxation.

So if you have a big issue with games being released several years later on PC then thats really sad. What do you want should they let it rot away in the budget bin.

Im to old for this crying about these things anyway. You had years to play it on the PS4 now other people get to play it.

@BoldAndBrash We all have our own things i cant stand liveservice, always online, day one patches bigger then the game and people telling yeah they are going to patch later.

GTA and RDR are games i dont like i only liked GTA Vice City the setting and the music. (before someone gets mad i just dont like them not my kind of games nothing to do with the quality)

@__jamiie
Buahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Awesome! 🍺 💦 😂 👏
