PS5 Opener and Closer Predictions

Your missing the point dude. The point is that Elder Ring won't be at a PS5 event because Microsoft has the marketing for that game. I highly doubt you will see it at the PS5 event. People stick to whatever platform they want and that's fine, but it doesn't change the fact From Software markets more on Xbox.

And Microsoft buying a Japanese studio is not BS phil stated multiple times they're shopping in Japan.

It would be a smart buy but a costly buy comparatively to what Sony would get price wise. But it would be smart to keep some of the hardcore hooked to gamepass.
 
All these high expectations! All the leaks and the things people are expecting to see. Wow, it's got a lot to live up to this reveal!!

I will come away happy if Horizon Zero Dawn 2 is shown and it's going to be a launch game. Everything else is a bonus on that for me. Keeping my expectations low.

Maybe some SOCOM love?

Probably not though because I'm expecting some COD 2020 reveal and it would probably get overshadowed.

Some more info on Project Awakening would be welcome too.

Opener: Buncha cross-gen stuff. Assassin's Creed and Watch Dawgz 2.
Middle: HZD2, Harry Potter, some kind of sport or driving game. Oddball artsy project with a high degree of intersectionality. Blue Points game turns out to be a remake of Jak and Daxter, not Demon's Souls.
Closer: Square Enix Project. Too good to be true target visualization, but the music is on point.

I wouldn't expect Demon Souls positioned/focused in the two prime slots of the event. The game wasn't that popular and the Souls-like series isn't that popular limited to one platform to be a main focus unless they don't have other stuff to show yet.

Opener: Godfall (PS5 and PC exclusive); start off with a game that showcases the prowess of the device and is coming to market in 2020 (checks all the boxes)

Closer: much easier to predict but it will be the box and release date. Price will come later. If I have to pick a game to close the conference, I’m going to go with a new IP from - brace for it - Bluepoint.

Opener: Demon Souls or Silent Hills Remake

In Between: Gran Turismo 7, GodFall, Ratchet n Clank, HouseMarque Game.

Closer: Horizon Zero Dawn 2

No God of War 2 or Spiderman 2, too soon for that.

Hard to guess, the possibilities are endless.
What I would like though is for it to have a PS4 games on PS5 segment, then PS5 games, then PS5 design teaser.
Opening: God of War Part 2
Closing: Horizon Zero Dawn 2

From Software is much more connected with Xbox than PlayStation. People think Bloodborne and that's it but that was paid by Sony for it to happen and was to make up for Sony NA passing on Demon's Souls. Elden Ring will NOT be at the PS5 event or any PlayStation event. Plus, it's been delayed to 2021. You'll be lucky if you see a new trailer for it at TGA at this point. Microsoft isn't going to purchase From Software nor should they as they simply aren't worth acquiring.

Wouldn't mind Knack 3 but only if it was on PS4 so it can conclude the series. PS5 no way. R&C 2 and a new Crash in 2020 and 2021 respectively is more than enough plus both are easily better.

Not expecting EA's sports games as they have their own event and vast majority that watch these events simply don't care about sports games. We know they exist and come out every year. Not expecting Sony to even mention MLB The Show 21 whatsoever as it's going to be a multi-platform title next year so in a way would be pointless to put on their PS5 event.

Does anyone think Sony will flex a little and show/announce a PS5 hardware exclusive title to entice preorders/hype? I would imagine most people are ready to go, but that's coming from an enthusiast's perspective. The casual PS4 owner might want to see that Sony's support for PS4 is still fully committed (from our perspective, we already know it is). I'm curious if everything shown will be supported for both systems to appeal to casual and other eco-system player with PS5 hardware exclusives further down the line.

Lol, what? They literally released their next game after Dark Souls 2 exclusively for PlayStation.

Now, Microsoft might be buying marketing with From, but they are still much more closely tied to PlayStation.

Like basically all Japanese games, From games sell significantly better on PlayStation than Xbox.


I don't think we will see anything for Spider-Man, Hod of War, Naughty Dog or Sucker Punch. The last two obviously are releasing massive AAA games this summer. I think Spider-Man and Hod of War are a couple years off and this presentation will be just games expected for release window of PS5.
Spiderman 2 has reportedly been planned for a 2021 release though.

I highly doubt it. I think Horizon 2 is locked in for Holiday 2021.
Dunno, just going by a leak from a while ago.

Not my kind of game if game though, so not too bothered if it isn't true.
But a lot of leaks came close so far and So y is supposedly going to show 38 games.
I think we'll see something, at least.

Opener: Casing
Closer: HZD2
Silent Hill or Demon Souls somewhere in the middle. Most people don't give a damn about those games. It's nothing for the masses.

It will be interesting to see if they will go for the biggest brand or the visually most impressive title as the big bang. I would probably close with the biggest name. That would probably be Spiderman.
