Fear isn’t a word in your vocabulary. You don’t mind blood, gore, intense violence, or any of those things. You want to be shocked, horrified, and scared out of your mind. These are the games for you. Horror Games For The PS5 DARQ Complete Edition Dead by Daylight Dying Light 2 GhostWire: Tokyo In Rays of The Light In Sound Mind Martha is Dead Monstrum II Observer: System Redux Quantum Error Resident Evil Village Returnal Scorn Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 Our Top Predictions For Horror Games on The PS5 1. Frictional Games (Amnesia, SOMA) Frictional Games are known for their Amnesia titles, but they’ve also branched off into existential horror with their PS4 title SOMA. It’s clear they’re not afraid to try different stories and settings, so I imagine we’ll see something brand new on the PS5 from them. They’ve managed to scare me in all kinds of ways, so it will be interesting to see how they manage to up their game on the next generation. While their current title, Amnesia: Rebirth comes to PS4 in fall of 2020, they have yet to say if this new entry will come to the next generation, or if they have something else cooking up for the PS5. 2. Silent Hill The cancellation of Silent Hills was a major blow to the gaming industry. Kojima and legendary director Del Toro were both on the project, and it was looking incredible. Konami clearly has a screw loose, but I’m holding out hope that they come to their senses, or at the very least let someone bring back this classic series. With Resident Evil coming back, it’s only fair that Silent Hill gets a chance too on the PS5. 3. Until Dawn Until Dawn was an excellent homage to classic horror stories, and the Butterfly Effect system blew me away with the various ways the story could be influenced by your choices and actions. Even the VR spinoff was really fun, but Until Dawn is a game that begs some sort of sequel. Whether it’s new people or some kind of continuation from the first one, this game needs to have some sort of presence on the PS5. 4. The Evil Within We’ve already heard rumors about a sequel to Shinji Mikami’s The Evil Within, but this series is a welcome addition to the horror catalog. While the first one had some rough edges, its heart was in the right place, and the unique story made for some really interesting twists, turns, and revelations. The PS5 could truly lend the cinematic feel to this series that the creators were going for in the first one. We need to see it on the PS5. 5. Summoning The Indie Developers Independent developers (indies) have been making some of the most interesting horror games this generation, and that will absolutely continue on the PS5. Smaller teams and studios are making titles like Lone Survivor, Sylvio, and Claire, all of which are unique and interesting takes on … Read More
PS5 First Person Shooter (FPS) Games
From Doom to Wolfenstein, to Call of Duty, first-person shooters are the foundation of gaming for both single and multiplayer. Confirmed FPS Games For PS5 Apex Legends Battlefield 6 BioShock PS5 Borderlands 3 Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War Call of Duty: Warzone Destiny 2 Metro Exodus (PS5 Upgrade) Sniper Elite 5 Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege Our Picks For The Top PS5 First Person Shooter Games Our top picks for PS5 FPS games: 1. Call of Duty Another year, another Call of Duty. While many would think that this series would have died out by now, it’s still going. We’re going back to WWII for the 2017 entry, after many entries in the near or distant future. Activision’s CEO, Bobby Kotick, told Marketplace in 2016 that “There will always be Call of Duty games, and they’ll be played on a variety of devices.” Who knows where the series will go after 2017, but it’s safe to say we’ll see it on PS5. Personally, I like the more creative and futuristic entries, but after the hate that Infinite Warfare got, the PS5’s first entry may indeed be set in the past. 2. Battlefield Battlefield enjoyed its own comeback in 2016 with the release of Battlefield 1, which brought the series all the way back to WWI, which is a conflict that’s rarely explored in gaming. It was a hit, and while the multiplayer shined like always, the single player was excellent as well. I wouldn’t mind if Battlefield stuck around in this era for a few more entries, since the focus on human stories really works. Their more creative entries like Battlefield Hardline were kind of hit or miss. Still, a revamped Battlefield 2142 could be pretty cool on the PS5. 3. Star Wars Battlefront Star Wars games are always a hit, but some are better than others. Star Wars Battlefront used to be an amazing title back on the PS2/Xbox, but now EA has revived the series with Battlefield developers behind it. The first attempt at the reboot was pretty bare bones, with only multiplayer modes and a few single player tutorial missions to choose from. In 2017, they’ll be releasing a more full-fledged entry, with a single player campaign and everything. Hopefully they’ll bring back the space battles, and then I could see this really turning into a major franchise. With new Star Wars movies coming down the pipeline, it’s guaranteed we’ll see some kind of Star Wars game on the PS5, and hopefully it will be this one. 4. Prey 2 The original Prey came out in 2006 and featured a Native American protagonist who is abducted by aliens and must find a way to escape the gigantic ship that is holding him hostage. I really enjoyed it, and I was desperately awaiting the sequel after the dubious “to be continued” at the end. Sadly, a sequel to this Prey will never be. Instead, we got a fully rebooted title in 2017 called Prey, but it … Read More
PS5 Fighting Games
Whether it’s online or with your friends in the same room, fighting games are the foundation of any great gaming competition. Confirmed Fighting Games For PS5 Guilty Gear Strive Mortal Kombat 11 Our Top Picks For Fighting Games on The PS5 1. Street Fighter Street Fighter is absolute classic, and it’s been riding high as a PS4 exclusive with Street Fighter V. With major appearances at E3 and PSX, this series is pretty healthy after all these years. I imagine we’ll see it’s sixth entry on PS5 with new characters, and perhaps even a new art style. I know, blasphemy, but with all that horsepower, it would be pretty cool to make things more realistic looking. 2. Tekken Speaking of realism, Tekken has always been known for its hyper-realistic graphics. With Tekken 7 hitting PS4, and even some VR content included with it. Fighting in VR? Don’t get too excited, it’s more of a bonus than a full feature. Even so, if the concept sticks, we could see a VR fighting game with Tekken on the PS5. I’m thinking a wireless headset, those glove controllers Sony has a patent for, and a lot of space required so you don’t punch your TV. Regardless, I’m betting we’ll see Tekken 8 on the PS5. 3. Mortal Kombat/Injustice Netherrealm Studios has been riding high with the release of Mortal Kombat X and Injustice 2, both of which were very well received. Now that they’ve nailed down the finer points of their new engine, I think it’s time we tried that Mortal Kombat/DC crossover again. Yeah, the first time didn’t go so well, but that was the old engine. Someone over there, ideally Ed Boon himself, must be thinking the same. Regardless, Mortal Kombat and Injustice are riding too high to not make an appearance on the PS5. 4. Marvel vs Capcom Marvel vs Capcom made some huge waves when Sony announced Marvel vs Capcom Infinite. This is another one of those series that has been begging for a sequel for years. Assuming this new entry is well-received (and it will be), then it will propel this fighting series onto the PS5. Again, the art style here could really benefit from some additional horsepower, even if it’s just additional effects or higher frame rate combined with 4K. I wouldn’t mind seeing the return of consumer arcade sticks either. 5. Guilty Gear This is one of those niche fighting games that always manages to come back. While we haven’t seen one in a little while, Guilty Gear is bound to make a comeback on the PS5. It’s also possible that we could see its sibling, BlazBlue make a comeback as well.

PS5 Driving and Racing Games
It’s pedal to the metal in these intense racing and driving games, where cars come in all shapes and sizes. Confirmed Driving and Racing Games For PS5 Can’t Drive This Destruction All-Stars DIRT 5 Gran Turismo 7 MXGP 20 RIDE 4 Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown WRC 9 Our Top Picks For Driving and Racing on The PS5 1. Gran Turismo Gran Turismo is the flagship title for Sony racing games, and while it’s been awhile since we’ve heard from them, I’m thinking we’ll see a release on PS5. This series has always been big on graphics and realism, and the power of the PS5 will give them the ability to crush the competition (Forza) with graphical detail alone. 2. DiRT While there are plenty of simulation racing games to choose from, the offroad scene has long been dominated by DiRT, and the series has only been getting better with time. VR compatibility found its way into this latest release, and that tells me we’ll be seeing this series on the PS5 since it’s ruling the off road genre. 3. Burnout Many of the people who worked on Burnout are now over at Three Fields Entertainment. This was one of the best arcade racing games back in the day, and now that they are making Danger Zone, it shows them coming one step closer to making a true Burnout successor. If they can somehow purchase the rights to the name from EA, I would not be surprised at all if we saw Burnout on the PS5.

PS5 Casual and Party Games
For those times when the whole squad is hanging out, and you need a game for everyone to play. Confirmed Casual and Party Games For PS5 Astro’s Playroom (Included With PS5 Purchase) Balan Wonderworld Overcooked! All You Can Eat Bugsnax Just Dance 2021 LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Nour: Play With Your Food Sackboy: A Big Adventure Our Top Picks For Casual and Party Games on The PS5 1. Split-Screen Titles (Various Possibilities) Split-screen isn’t dead my friends! Games like Borderlands, Crawl, and various other titles on PS4 have showed us that at least some developers still care about local cooperative or versus-style experiences. With the PS5, we’ll most likely see split-screen experiences, or perhap hybrid options that include VR, but local multiplayer will hopefully remain a part of the gaming landscape in some form or another. 2. Jackbox Party Pack The Jackbox Party Pack, when it first released, was an interesting little experiment. The ideas was that you could play multiplayer trivia and party games with friends by using smartphones instead of controllers to enter their answers. It was such a simple idea, but the concept worked really well and the games included in the pack were really fun. They’re up to Jackbox Party Pack 3, with a fourth on the way. I’m thinking we’ll see this one on the PS5. 3. Just Dance Ubisoft’s Just Dance series has been hitting consoles every year, and while it may burn out soon, the concept of a dancing game won’t be going anywhere. So, whether it’s rebranded or rebooted, Just Dance is something we’ll probably see on the PS5. 4. Music Games (Rock Band, Guitar Hero) Music games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero had their moment in the limelight, but then they faded. They made a brief resurgence on PS4 with Rock Band 4 and Guitar Hero Live, but could they make a comeback? This is a tough one, but these games worked really well when they were in their prime. Even realistic titles like Rocksmith offered a lot for beginning guitar players. Maybe there’s a happy balance, or perhaps there’s a big new idea in the works, but something tells me we haven’t seen the last of these games.

PS5 Board Games
For those times when you don’t want to set up the board and pieces in real life, so you let the game do it for you! Our Top Picks For Board Games on The PS5 1. Monopoly Monopoly has been on every console I can think of, and it’s always a hit. As one of the most classic board games out there, you can expect to see a version of it on the PS5. Maybe they’ll finally bring some of the themed versions to consoles. I would love to play Fallout or Mass Effect monopoly on my TV. 2. Hasbro Family Packs Hasbro has been releasing packs of their games beyond Monopoly. Other titles have been compiled on discs, and this will absolutely come to the PS5. Perhaps they will expand their titles, but the classics will be there. 3. Trivia! Who doesn’t love a good trivia game? While we’re sure to see some of these in our party games page, sometimes the classic board game/trivia hybrid is all you need. Trivia games like Trivial Pursuit will absolutely show up on the PS5. 4. Tabletop RPGs A few tabletop RPG games have made the jump to consoles, and I think this trend could easily continue on the PS5. Consider games like Hand of Fate and Armello for example. These types of experiences are really cool and eliminate the setup that normally comes with a complicated tabletop game. I would love to see more titles like this on PS5, but what about you? Which board games do you want to see? Let us know in the comments!

(New Leaks) GTA VI: 5 Time Period We’d Love to Visit 10 Ideas GTA VI Should “Borrow” From Other Games GTA VI on The PS5: 10 Potential Locations 2. Naughty Dog (Uncharted, Last of Us) Anything Naughty dog touches turns to gold. While they keep saying they’re done with Uncharted, I don’t think that’s the case. Expect a spinoff series on PS5. With Last of Us 2 coming out, you can add that series to your list as well. I will be very surprised if they don’t reveal something new as well. It may start on PS4 or it could launch on PS5, but they have more ideas that will come to light sooner than later. 4. Arkane Studios (Dishonored, Prey) Arkane announced a PS5 game called Deathloop that seems to have Dishonored’s DNA with a time loop structure that involves two rival assassin’s hunting each other constantly through every loop. Big fan of time loops in fiction, so count me in! 5. God of War Kratos is back! God of War on PS4 took the world by storm, and left us hanging in the end. Since these things work best in trilogies, I expect we’ll see the next 2 games on PS5. 6. Ubisoft (Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed) Ubisoft is known for making games that involve open worlds and lots of collectibles. Both Assassin’s Creed and Watch Dogs have been doing pretty well. We know both series will continue on PS5 with Watch Dogs: Legion and Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. 7. Lego Games The Lego games have slowed down somewhat in recent years, but … Read More
PS5 in 2018? 5 Reasons Why It Absolutely Won’t Happen
Recently, the PlayStation 5 has been on everyone’s mind. No, it’s not because Sony said something about its inevitable release, it’s because a major analyst named Damian Thong predicted that Sony would be releasing the PS5 in 2018 to record breaking sales. Where does this leave new PS4 Pro and VR owners? Is Sony really moving on this quickly? The answer is no. Releasing the PS5 in 2018 would be a foolish move, and it’s not likely that Sony would make such a grave mistake when they’re doing so well. Join us for five reason why this prediction absolutely will not happen. 5 Reasons Why We Won’t Be Seeing The PS5 in 2018 (Despite Predictions) While I respect the opinion of Damian Thong, I don’t believe the PS5 will be coming in 2018. Beyond the obvious reason that it’s too soon, I’ve compiled my top 5 reasons why PS5 needs to come out later. Holiday 2020 seems about right, given the evidence we’ve compiled on our PS5 Release Date Page. Let’s take a look: 1. Sony is Winning in Sales Sony has literally zero reasons to rush the PS5 out of the gate. The PS4 has sold over 60 million consoles and that number continues to grow. Furthermore, Microsoft has only pushed between 25-30 million consoles to date, according to estimates. Even with Project Scorpio (Xbox 2) looming over the horizon, there’s still no rush. Even if Scorpio sold like crazy (which it won’t because it’s going to be expensive), it would take years for Microsoft to catch up. With Sony dominating the market, it just doesn’t make sense for them to compromise their lead by rushing out a new console. So, why did Damian Thong predict this? Well, it’s hard to say, but I would venture to guess that he say Microsoft’s upcoming console, how it was more powerful than Sony’s PS4 Pro, and threw in some other numbers to get to his prediction. I can understand that side of things, to an extent. The PS5 would, and will, sell like hotcakes, but it will sell better if people are ready for it. For this reason and all the others, that’s simply not the case. 2. PS4 Pro is Still Young The PS4 Pro hasn’t even been out for a year and we’re already talking about PS5? Sony committed to this concept of a mid-generation hardware refresh and said that it would be their focus for the foreseeable future. Two years (2018), is within the foreseeable future. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that gamers would be utterly enraged if they found out that their brand new console was about to be obsolete. It just doesn’t make any sense from a customer service perspective. Not to mention, look at the power that developers have managed to squeeze out of the PS4. The games continue to increase in both size and scale, and graphics have never looked better. Even though the PS4 Pro isn’t as powerful as … Read More
The Top 9 Features Gamers Expect On The PS5
It’s well known that gamers have a loud voice when we band together. Companies like Sony listen to us when we tell them what we want from our consoles. That feedback is what makes PlayStation such an amazing console. Well, we decided it was time to ask you, the players, what you want on the PS5. The results from our poll ( Vote! ) are in! It’s time to look at the top 9 features that you want on the PS5! We’ll also weigh in on how these features could manifest themselves on the next generation console from Sony. Let’s dive in! The Top 9 Features Fans Expect to See on The PS5 We asked you to tell us what you expect to see on the PS5, and you delivered! The many came together to form one voice. Let’s find out which features are most important to you on the PS5! 1. Backwards Compatibility With about 28% of the votes, backwards compatibility won the top spot by a 6% margin! In a world where Microsoft is touting backwards compatibility on their new Xbox 2/Project Scorpio system, the pressure is on for Sony to match that with the PS5. Of course, when we talk about backwards compatibility, we have to consider how far back we want. PlayStation has a lot of classic titles from PS1, PS2, and PS3. In fact, the PS4 has already racked up several titles that will no doubt be remembered fondly by history. PlayStation fans want compatibility as far back as we can get. There’s so many games we want to have access to on our latest console. Sony has made some progress here with PS2 Classics on PS4, and they’ve certainly done plenty of remasters to bring games like The Last of Us and God of War III to the new console. For PS3 games, we have the streaming service known as PlayStation Now, but that’s yet another thing to pay for, and it’s selection is good but not overwhelmingly great. Meanwhile, Xbox players are getting more and more 360 games on their system for free if they already own it. I have to give them a point for that, because it is the right way to handle backwards compatibility. Ideally, PS5 will take this approach where you can keep the games you own and play them on the new system. Digital titles will be accessible, and physical games can be inserted to validate them and add them to your library like Xbox does. This feature deserves a top spot, so let’s hope it shows up in a way that benefits us all. The ball’s in your court, Sony! 2. Graphic Processing Power Second up is graphics processing power with 22% of the votes. Any time there’s a new console, graphics are a major point of discussion. After all, power is the selling point of any next generation system. How much better will make games look and play on this system? Microsoft’s upcoming console boasts 6 … Read More
Sony Will Win The VR War on The PS5
Virtual Reality has finally gone from a pipe dream, to something you can buy and experience on a PlayStation console. Competition has been fierce from the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, but Microsoft has been lagging behind in this department. Meanwhile, more and more companies are coming out with epic experiences on PlayStation VR as the catalog grows by the week. Recent sales numbers are showing strong adoption of this new hardware, and while Microsoft is finally discussing VR in more detail, it’s clear that Sony is ahead of the pack. When PS5 releases, it will have the power (and possibly the VR headset) to beat them all. Join us as we look at all the evidence pointing to a future where Sony rules the VR playing field. PlayStation VR Selling Strong, Competition is Lagging After its launch in the final months of 2016, everyone wanted to know how PlayStation VR was selling. Would it soar high and break Sony’s track record of under-performing peripherals (sorry PlayStation Move)? There were plenty of naysayers who wanted to shoot it down, but in early 2017, Sony started talking numbers. Andrew House, global chief executive of Sony Interactive Entertainment, spoke with The New York Times and mentioned some specifics about the sales of their VR headset and how they stacked up against expectations. Andrew House himself was concerned about how quickly the market would jump on the VR bandwagon: “It’s the classic case in any organization, the guys who are on the front end in sales are getting excited, very hyped up. You have to temper that with other voices in the company, myself among them, saying let’s just be a little bit careful.” They decided not to manufacture as many as you would expect, and as a result, there was a major shortage in stores everywhere, Japan especially. During his interview with The New York Times, Andrew House revealed that as of February 19th, 2017, PSVR had sold 915,000 headsets in four months since launch. The internal goals for Sony were a million headsets in the first six months. Andrew House mentioned in his interview that “You literally have people lining up outside stores when they know stock is being replenished,” when he was describing the atmosphere in Japan. Clearly Sony is set to meet or exceed these expectations. These numbers also place Sony at the forefront of VR success. In terms of premium headsets, PlayStation VR is the lowest price point at $399. While Oculus, Facebook, and HTC haven’t shared their sales numbers yet, research from SuperData Research has estimate that Oculus Rift sold about 243,000 and HTC Vive sold 420,000 by the end of 2016. Comparing all of this to other technology launches, one of the most successful launches was the iPhone first three months in 2007 in which it sold 1.4 million units. On the software side of things, Sony is enjoying massive engagement with VR since the launch of Resident Evil 7, which supported the entire game in … Read More
