PS5 PlayStation line up for 2026

Is it enough?

[Sandro The Great]

Honestly I given up on console gaming. When the console cost a much as a decent pc today they are not worth it.

The games are good, I have no problem with it. Interesting Halo for playstation that' s a highlight!

 

[Nebulon_Galaxy]

fucking halo in the thumbnail and in the video, how could this ever happen. If i told little Neby back in 2007 that Halo will be on PlayStation, i would have called my future-self a racial slur.
This is unreal.

 

[Sorion]

these games look promising, the only problem is: most of these are multiplatform! you don't need a PS5 to play them

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Master Chief is almost like an intruder in this lineup.

Also my small gripe is how many games shown have that "behind the shoulder third person" camera angle.

 

[bjork]

Makes me feel okay about not owning a PS5.

 

[Don Patch]

Some of them look cool...
But, honestly, had they not put the title on the screen, I'd not have been able to tell most of them apart.
Anyone else feel that?

Absolutely. Even after that Outer Worlds 2 announcement video a few years back that kinda goofed on all the trailer cliches, no one seems to want to mix it up.

There's a logic to the homogeneity, unfortunately;
Games are expensive to make. More so now that the "industry" has effectively crashed/is crashing (read: is falling out of the mainstream). There's gonna be a real struggle soon to keep up the margins that the money-people saw in the 360/PS3 era forward.
So we're getting (and are going to see) a pretty heavy shift to a few things in the coming years to try to keep those "games as a mainstream medium" profits up.... key word "try":

Play it safe.
Focus group the crap outta it.
Reduce, reuse,recycle
And when all else fails, sell sell sell the company and assets.

It's a shame that they can't see the value in producing something different on a smaller budget and seeing how it shakes out.

I've heard this since 2001 and we are still here.

it's never enough

id prefer it if a PS5 ran more apps for radio and tv.

Pragmata looks dope, not interested in the rest.

Because the problem has gotten worse over the years, each console generation has even less exclusive games than the last one, ps1 had a lot, ps2 had plenty, ps3 had some exclusives, ps4 just a few, ps5 almost none.

Honestly, I don't know. As a multimedia station it could but as a video game console why would I run one for the radio when I can simply use my phone?

 

[BiriCross]

Why is Halo on PlayStation?
Wasn't Halo supposed to be on Xbox?

I don't use my phone much less its for messaging people particular radio station has a real weak DAB signal in my area but runs perfect on tunein.

Halo was originally a Macintosh game.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

True.

Also Halo wasn't a Xbox exclusive since 2003 with the PC port

I literally own it thanks to a garage sale.

and FF7 was on PC a year later in 1998

There's no reason to own consoles (I am being incredibly sarcastic)

I didn't know about that.
Interesting
