Sony PlayStation 5 : Play Has No Limits

PS5 Release Date, PS5 Games, PS5 Power vs Xbox One X, PS5 Price Speculation - All the PS5 Info lets discuss



Here are all the rumors and speculation surrounding the PS5, including a potential PS5 release date, power, and launch games of Sony's inevitable PS5. Is the PS5 releasing in 2019?


What we Want From the PS5 Speculation aside, what would we ideally want from the PS5? Backwards compatibility for PS4 games would be brilliant, simply because you'd be able to carry over classics like the Shadow of the Colossus remake to the next console generation. We've seen how well Microsoft is handling backwards compatibility with its Xbox One consoles (including getting amazing results updating Xbox 360 games to run in 4K on Xbox One X), and something similar on PS5 would be great.

In terms of pure power, the PlayStation 5 has to significantly exceed the power of the Xbox One X. This means featuring more games running in 4K at 60FPS. If the PS5 can deliver about 10 TF of power we'd be happy, as this would allow devs to create games that look a generation ahead of what we've got now.

But what would the dream launch lineup be for the PS5? Death Stranding and The Last of Us: Part 2 are hugely anticipated blockbuster games, with the former especially looking to push the performance of whatever system it's on to the very limit. We've also mentioned Ghost of Tsushima and a sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, and the latter would be the perfect way to kick off a new console cycle from Sony.

Yeah, the Demon's Souls remake seems very likely at this point. Also, the rumored Silent Hill reboot, possibly in collaboration with Kojima. I'm also expecting Guerrilla Games to show something. Perhaps Horizon 2, or the rumored Killzone multiplayer game.

2. Jim Ryan also confirms same thing, commits to give fans games that can 'only be enjoyed on the PS5'.

Sony's Jim Ryan: “It's time to give fans something that can only be enjoyed on PlayStation 5”
You tell 'em Jimbo!

Horizon 2, or the rumored Killzone multiplayer game.
There is a rumored Killzone MP game ? Wow just wow, this is the first time I came across this and man i would be the most happiest person if there is a KZ MP game at launch. I have some very fond memories of Kz 3 MP on the PS3, even played alot of Shadow fall MP on the ps4 too. There is something very very unique about Killzone's MP, at least for me.

Horizon 2 on the other hand, just seems to be more and more likely at this point. I hope they dont go down that rumored Co-op road. I absolutely fell in love with the first game which for me is in the top 5 games on the ps4.

Given this total lack of support, it leads some developers to question whether they should bother with ports to PS5 and PS4 in the future. Sony "were easily the worst performing in terms of sales and by far the most demanding and hardest to work with in terms of getting on to the platform. As an indie developer, you have limited resources. So you have to ask yourself if it's worth the time and energy committing to a port when they aren't going to promote you and sales are going to be significantly lower than all other competing platforms."

Imagine blaming Jim Ryan when the Head of Indies is this guy 🤷‍♂️

Shares a tweet about the indie relations department being considerably understaffed, but proceeds to blame Shu anyway. Yikes! 🤣

The blame for everything wrong with PlayStation (including the company's newfound love for PC) falls on only one man i.e. Jim Ryan. Shu is pretty much the last good person left in the PlayStation management team.

Understaffed and led by an incompetent Head of Indies Initiative. Jim needs to make sure Shuhei's lazy ass does what he is getting paid for. 🤜

lmao @ incompetent. He was the head of WWS, and it did really well under his leadership. The real incompetence here comes from the individual who demoted him to head of indies. Besides, clearly the budget Jim allocates towards indie support is minuscule.

Also, Shu had a major role to play in the development of Demon's Souls remake and Returnal, two AAA launch window PS5 titles. Shu rep 🤜

tlous2 will work on ps5 on launch confirmed by Jim R. also ghost of t
Most first party games will 100% work. The question is if they will have further enhancements over the PS4 Pro versions.

EG TLoU 2: Base PS4 1080p/30. PS4 Pro 1440/30.

PS5: 4K/30 ? 4k/60 ? who knows. But it will be interesting to see.

They will do a u-turn, follow MS's strategy and support backwards compatibility on PS5 in some form.

Jimbo was too ignorant to realize this back in the day.

“Why would anybody play this?” says Sony’s Jim Ryan about backwards compatibility

“When we’ve dabbled with backwards compatibility, I can say it is one of those features that is much requested, but not actually used much,” said Ryan.

“That, and I was at a Gran Turismo event recently where they had PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, and the PS1 and the PS2 games, they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?”

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
