While the PlayStation 5 will get new entries of its popular franchises like God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn (and there's reportedly even a remake of The Last of Us in the works), the console will get its fair share of new IPs under the PlayStation Studios brand. In a recent interview with Wired, Hermen Hulst, PlayStation Studios' lead, said that the group is working on over 25 games for the PS5, "nearly half of which are entirely new IP".

“There’s an incredible amount of variety originating from different regions,” Hulst said in the interview. “Big, small, different genres.” So we can expect indie as well as AAA titles in the mix. In the report, Wired mentioned that Ember Lab, the studio behind Kena: Bridge of Spirits, is working on its next title. It also name-dropped Haven Studios (from former Google Stadia vice president) and Firewalk Studios (working on an unannounced, new multiplayer IP) as studios having previously announced their partnership with Sony. So these could be hints about where some of those 25+ titles might be coming from.

Wired also notes that Guerrilla Games' Horizon Forbidden West is still slated to be released later this year and that the PS5 version of the game will make use of the DualSense’s haptics capabilities to allow for a "special sauce well beyond fast travel and graphical fidelity". "If you want to take a stealth approach to a combat situation and you dive into long grass, you can feel those long grass leaves,” Guerrilla studio director Angie Smets hinted in the report.

God of War 3 Remastered Remastered confirmed.

 

[MikaDubbz]

Can we get a new Twisted Metal? I've been itching for a new one of those for ages.

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

I would hope they're making games.

This things been out for 6 months and you can count on on hands the games for it. With fingers left over.

 

[sarkwalvein]

TLOU... I wonder of they will remake the PS3 original or the PS4 remake.

 

[Draxikor]

25 OTS games with different skin ok

 

[Seliph]

Over 25 new games??? That's a lot of new Bugsnax sequels to develop

 

[Nevermore]

they say the same about every gen and only 10-20% of them are actual good games. Rest is filler trash to pad up e3 of very indie looking games that belong on mobile

This user gets it.

Yeah we're looking at years before seeing all of those 25+ titles come to the console. This console gen's library has been rather lackluster so far, especially with launch titles.

but this has always been the case, next gen consoles at first mainly get the same old multi platform games ported, which i really do not understand idiots that are shelling out scalper prices for the next gen, mainly to play these titles that are also on the last gen that you already own and can be played on next gen (or offer next gen upgrade for free).

this generation is a joke in terms of how many games it has exclusive to it (not system exclusives, but generation exclusives in general).

So this news is indeed great news, it covers exactly the weakest point of PS5 right now.

Until demand can come close to being met for these new consoles, it will remain a problem for potential sales figures of meaningful generation exclusives when a large number of would-be customers wouldn't even be able to play the games if they wanted to.

Honestly speaking I feel this generation just further proves the fact that PC gaming will overtake the console market entirely within the long run. That said it seems to be approaching much closer in the last two generations given that most of the biggest hits/best selling are either ports or remasters of previous generation games which are multi-plat and exclusivity is going down the toilet given that its effort is not worth the development money to just restrict yourself to one system. At this point exclusivity is just there to make the console relevant, and with that being the case the only strong one in that argument here which works with positive returns is Nintendo which is not a surprise given their fanbase is consistent throughout the years.

The age of the home console is basically on deaths door, this generation is a shining example that the only people really wanting a new console at this very moment are those with FOMO or kids who do not know better, or people that want to flaunt their ego about getting the latest and greatest thing while having very little to show for it in investment (unless they plan on reselling it afterwards)..

To all those out there with their newest console. I hope it really does fulfill you in some meaningful way. Otherwise, the truth is in plain sight. Whats the point in investing in brand new hardware just to buy games you already had from the old hardware? I do not get it, but I have not been a console guy since the X360 days.

I agree 100% with you that PCs are better for gaming than consoles (it is my main platform BTW), but I disagree that people will migrate to PC, as there are a huge audience that just want to flip a button and start playing. No matter how easy dealing with PC is today, the fact it can do a lot of things is daunting for many people.

There are other factors in play too. The advertisement of PC gaming is diffuse among many brands, while console advertisement is centralized and planed. Also the PC sales are very high worldwide, but here on third world, PC is disappearing from regular people's houses.

So far, I've only replayed PS4 games on my PS5 and started to collect dust like all others.
Looking forward to new games but they better start releasing some.

"and about a tenth of them will actually be fun, while the rest focuses on graphical woo." said the Sony representative as he aggressively rubbed his muddy shoes on a picture of Japan studio

"I'm not ready to go into detail yet, but we've developer a new engine called BBKs, it uses raytracing lighting to trigger certain responses in the brain and lure consumers the same way infants are attracted to shiny objects"

Man, gamers are so cynical now. It's understandable I guess because of anti-consumer corporate practices but it's still sad to see.

every generation is like this when starting out tho???

when the last 10 years have been feeding you nothing but shit games with a diamond in the rough every now and then you'd probably become overly cynical as well
people have a reason to become cynical- its mostly because everything around them is turning to shit

 

[guisadop]

Hopefully we'll get less "mature" games and more cartoony games like Ratchet and Clank or even weeb games like Gravity Rush (far-fetched though).

the 2010s & late stage capitalism were a mistake

No, It was never like this for all generations that I lived until now (my first console was a Master System, so lots of gens in my mind). We experienced consoles without system buyers, but never before I experience a whole generation live 6 months without a proper system buyer game.

If you remember any generation that was this bad in terms of games 6 months in, please let me know.

 

[Julie_Pilgrim]

Not enough sequels, one could argue

Consoles that had games six months in:
Ps4
Ps2
Xbox 360
Nintendo ds
Nintendo wii
Nintendo switch, Vita(im putting these two on the same line since they only work if we're counting ports)
NES
(Im missing some but you get my point)

 

[stanleyopar2000]

So no Armored Core VIctory or Syphon Filter?

Okay then...
