That's a very short list
Daheck? I really thought it should be at least twice as big as this one.
There is exactly zero game I want from that list.
And it will get shorter as the exclusives make their way to PC. Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine are very likely to.
This is great for the industry.
When you also factor in that Valve is releasing the Steam machine, maybe Sony will have to actually compete with somebody and offer a better value. Price cuts. More storage. Bluetooth audio compatibility (seriously how is that acceptable in 2025???). More PSVR2 games, or even provide some tools or incentives to release PSVR2 versions of PSVR games.
Heck, this incentivizes Sony to just develop and publish better games as a whole too. Not that they're bad or anything now, but it has seemed like a lot of what they've done has been safe. 3rd person, over-the shoulder, cinematic experiences. I've played God of War, Horizon, Ratchet and Clank, and Uncharted for the PS4 and PS5 and they all kind of feel like the same games just re-skinned. I miss the days when insomniac did unique and creative stuff instead of just cranking out Marvel tie-in games.
I'm a pc guy, but I wish the trigger haptics for the ps5 took off. I only got to try them a few weeks ago, but they felt cool.
I have the ps5 trigger haptic working in Hades 2. Linux PC (Garuda Dr460onized). They do feel very nice but the first time it happened I thought my buttons were breaking from being hard to press.
Hoping for more adoption too, but it is a niche thing. Not everyone has the controller.
I have the controller and it’s honestly too big and heavy for my hands for longer play seasions. I don’t like it at all even tho I love the haptics.
The haptics/adaptive triggers are the best thing about the PS5 and it's not close.
And will get even shorter now they've seen the bajillion dollars dropped into Sony's lap by making Helldiver's 2 available on PC and then Xbox, and cross-platform play available between all three.
The coming generation might be the last gen of console wars. Xbox has already said its coming, PlayStation I think are likely to be next.
Some of these games aren't even released yet! Astros playroom was the only one I really enjoyed. That is sad.
Astro Bot is amazing. Probably not worth the price of admission if it is the only one you care about, but nevertheless a great game.
The Internet blows up more often when an exclusive is announced. Fuck exclusives I'm not getting FF7Rebirth if it's not coming out on PC > there's no game on that exclusive list that makes me want to buy that console > repeat. Nintendo barely gets away with it by trying to make platforms with a physical gimmick that can't be ported to PC (yet).
They actually can be ported. Dualshock/dualsense for example, or steam controller supports gyro sensor, so you can play whole "TLOZ: Breath of the wild" and second game on emulator on PC. Other games too, actually, even most gimmicky one's. WiiU games is a bit more tricky due to second screen, but there not a lot of games that fully used it or used at all.
