Before PS5 launches this holiday, Sony PlayStation is giving one more look at some of the games coming to PlayStation 5 at launch (and beyond!). Sony PlayStation's next digital showcase will weigh in at around 40 minutes, and feature updates on the latest titles from Worldwide Studios and our world-class development partners. Tune in this Wednesday, September 16 at 1pm PDT / 9pm BST / 10pm CEST to see what’s next for PS5. #ign #ps5 #PS5Showcase
“The legacy of the crystals has shaped our history for long enough…” Watch the exciting teaser trailer for the newest title in the legendary FINAL FANTASY series. FINAL FANTASY XVI is the next all-new standalone single player action RPG from Square Enix, coming to PlayStation 5. Follow us for all the latest on FINAL FANTASY XVI Twitter: http://twitter.com/FinalFantasyXVI Facebook: http://facebook.com/FinalFantasyXVI Instagram: http://instagram.com/FinalFantasyXVI #FF16 #FFXVI
My jaw was hanging on the floor from the start to the finish of this trailer. You CANNOT tell me that we will be seeing Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 or any sequels to that in any capacity by the time that this next console generation is coming to a close. This looks breath-takingly amazing. My only concern is whether or not have they learned their lesson from Final Fantasy XV in terms of combat and go with something similar to how well the combat in Final Fantasy VII Remake played out. I'm hoping for the latter TBH. BTW this is a PS5 exclusive, much like FF7R.
I'm definitely keeping my eyes out for this.
Experience the rise of Miles Morales in this gameplay sequence captured on PlayStation 5. Coming Holiday 2020.
The titular villain confirmed in this gameplay demo trailer is The Tinkerer. This iteration of the character is obviously female and seems to be sporting some futuristic weaponry for herself and her henchmen. Insomniac did display Miles' powers here to show off that he is unique in his own right and brings a variety of new skills to the table to distinguish himself from Peter Parker. Seriously though, how many times are they going to copy and paste that bridge sequence or Spidey struggling to hold shit together with his webbing? It's getting old from how all of the films and now the games seem to shoehorn that in now at every opportunity.
Desc: Werewolves, witches, monsters, and mystery abounds in this gameplay trailer for Resident Evil 8. #ign #ps5 #gaming
This looks cool and all, but if it's another first person VR affair, I'm going to have to respectfully pass on this. I was nauseous from simply watching Maximillian stream RE7 on his Twitch channel, so I can't even imagine myself investing into VR tech in any shape nor form. That being said, I'm anxious to see what role Chris Redfield plays in all of this. His role in RE7 was minor until the DLC episode starring him came out, even though RE7 seems to be a reboot of sorts for the RE mythos. I wonder if they are going to have him be an antagonist this time around that is possibly infected by Las Plagas since there's a lot of callbacks to Resident Evil 4 here.
It seems like that this will have interesting effects of when and where you kill each target, much like with the original Crackdown, where it would have adverse effects on the remaining targets on whether or not how difficult it would be to take them down later on. Concepts like this I can get behind for a first-person shooter, but even this great idea has its limitations. How far can you take this gimmick before it gets redundant and/or repetitive like everything else in this genre? This would be one of the few FPS titles I keep my eyes on, just for the same reason I like the Borderlands series for their humor. This seems to be in the same vein as TimeSplitters or No One Lives Forever in that regard though.
DMC is back and better than ever in the series’ most SSStylish and most action-packed entry yet: Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition! New features include the addition of Dante's brother and arch-rival, Vergil, as a playable character, as well as Turbo Mode, Legendary Dark Knight, Ray Tracing, and more! https://www.devilmaycry.com/
Anyone who knows me personally knew that I marked the fuck out for this trailer, especially knowing that Vergil is arguably my favorite character in the series. At the same time, it pissed me off a little too when Capcom flat out said they weren't doing any DLC or any further work on Devil May Cry 5 when people asked them a year ago if they were doing a Special Edition for that game. I swear, I'm not taking anything this company says as gospel. DMC5SE will be available to owners of the original DMC5 on PS4 and Xbox One as paid DLC content at a later date, but it's set to be a launch title for the PS5 this holiday season. Everything else that you would want to know about this special edition can be found straight from the source from Capcom Unity.
The original Demon's Soul is getting a massive overhaul for the PS5, and now you can get a closer look at this gorgeous remake.

| This scene was always a much more impressive display of Spidey's powers in a crisis than him holding something together with his webbing - at least to me anyway. |
In a separate blog post, Sony announced that Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be a PS5 launch game and cost $50. Not included in the event but announced separately was the fact that Miles Morales is also coming to PS4. What we didn’t get was a precise release date. The game is still only slated for “Holiday 2020.” The kicker is that a PS5 digital-only port of the original Insomniac Spider-Man game will be coming soon, but won't have a save transfer utility nor means to convert your PS4 saves into the new game.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I read that and went, then why the fuck should you even buy the PS5 version then if you want to continue where you left off?
Hogwarts Legacy is a new Harry Potter game coming in 2021.
I think this was the worst timing for anything announced on this show PERIOD, especially with the transgender controversy surrounding J.K. Rowling.
Raven Software shows off new gameplay from the adrenaline-fueled opening mission in Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War, which is set in 1981 shortly after the events of the Iran hostage crisis. #ign #ps5 #gaming
I'm sure the COD fanboys are going to think otherwise but I think the FPS genre are at the end of their tether of how far they can push this genre. Pretty visuals isn't going to cut it to get me remotely interested in investing in these games. The biggest draw for these games are the multiplayer component when most people gloss over these cinematic set pieces scattered throughout the story campaigns in favor for that anyway.

Much like Spider-Man: Miles Morales, this title will be available to current-gen console owners, so late adopters to the PS5 - much like myself - won't be left in the dark.
All of my Soulsborne friends who have seen this footage have literally lost their minds at this gameplay, citing that this was a beautiful trip down memory lane. Hell, this pretty much sealed the deal for their decisions to pre-order a PS5 at launch without even knowing what the billing for the console would be. Even though I was a huge fan of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and I enjoy watching speedruns and full playthroughs of Bloodborne, I can't say that I'm much of a Dark Souls/Demon's Souls fan, BUT this looks gorgeous. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of angry gamers torturing themselves through this when it drops. Sony also announced separately outside of the event that Demon’s Souls will indeed be a PS5 launch game. The bad news is that it will cost $70 and for some this will be more bad news as Demon’s Souls would be exclusive to PS5, much like the original game for PlayStation 3.
Check out the PlayStation Plus Collection, a new benefit for PS5.
This is Sony's alleged competitor for Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass. I'm sorry but as someone who came over from Xbox 360 and Xbox Live to PS4 and PS+ this console generation, I have to say that Sony's user interface for PlayStation Network is utter shit. There's absolutely NO excuse for them to fix this shit for the next console generation.
As for this though? That's a pretty sick deal to offer tons of last-gen games right out of the gate like that. I even spotted Monster Hunter: World in that line-up. That alone will rake you up about 300-500+ hours of gameplay before you're inclined to invest into the expansion for even more playtime. Hell, even the God of War (PS4) title is on there. That's worth it's weight in gold alone, especially with the tease for the sequel that Sony ended this conference with.
In comparison to Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate, I don't think this will stand a chance. Microsoft is catering not only to the console market, but to PC gamers as well with their subscriptions. Not to mention that Xbox Live is the better service all around in terms of functionality. Only time will tell whenever this new console generation starts this holiday season, but Sony definitely has to step their game up considerably to make an impression on me in that regard. If it wasn't for my few friends that I play Monster Hunter: World with and the fact that I luck out to renew my PlayStation Plus subscription via discounts online every year, I would have stopped paying for this ages ago. For Sony's sake, I hope they can turn this service around for the better instead of the constant disconnects/downtimes and constant freezes/lock-ups from trying to simply navigate the menus.

A $499 price tag for the disk drive and $399 for the diskless option. I'm not surprised in this in the least. Sony weren't going to allow Microsoft to best them in that regard where they failed during the last console generation. Reports are going around that the diskless option is sacrificing processing power so the console won't be as powerful, but take that information with a grain of salt.
There's a new God of War game landing on PS5 in 2021. Check out a cryptic teaser for God of War: Ragnarok. #ign #ps5 #gaming
Oh BOI... Kratos and Atreus' journey will continue on the PS5 with God of War: Ragnarok. I can't discuss too much of this without mentioning spoilers, but I'll say this much. I hope the "true" queen of the Valkyries is every bit of awesome that Sigrun was in the previous game. I'm just disappointed that this is another first-party title from PlayStation that won't see its sequel on the PlayStation 4. At least with Horizon: The Forbidden West, they confirmed that it would be playable on both PS5 and PS4 owners. As of this posting (9/24/2020), pre-orders are live across various retailers for the console's arrival this holiday season, but as it stands, most retailers are currently sold out with GameStop looking to get more units available in the coming weeks. Keep in mind that GameStop has a payment plan in place for purchases in their store(s) now, so you don't have to drop that $499+ all at once. Microsoft is doing a similar deal with the Xbox Series X.
