[ReBurn]

Without a doubt

 

[tommib]

Demon’s Souls and Returnal. Their best 1-2 punch of the generation. Actually made me super hopeful that PS was back to a less mainstream road.

Then they doubled down on Horizon and Marvel.

 

[CLW]

Something Remastered

 

[Edgelord79]

PlayStation 5 - Astrobot (not even close). It represents everything good about gaming; it’s accessible to a wide range of people; it seems to have staying power; the games are ambassadors to the brand, It is in effect Sony’s Mario.

No idea about the other.

 

[Barakov]

Weirdly the best first party game is a remake of a game from 2 gens ago.

 

[Fake]

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered

Horizon Zero Dawn Remake.

 

[Musashipan]

Concord, without a doubt.

 

[bender]

GT7 then Demon Souls Remake then Astrobot

 

[Rudius]

Concord, unfortunately

 

[PendekarRajawali]

PS5 Has games?

 

[REDRZA MWS]

Demons souls remake…… and then I’m not sure. Haven’t enjoyed many Sony 1st party lately. Bring back SOCOM, pretty please.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

30th Demon's Souls: It was released two times and it started a whole new genre

This Gen defining game?
Elden Ring: It mastered the style DS introduced and took it to new heights.

 

[Kerotan]

Ratchet and clank rift apart although I didn't play astro yet.

30 years I'll go with MGS2 but it's an impossible choice.

 

[Ozzie666]

Concord is a watershed moment in gaming for all the wrong reasons. A history doomed to be repeated.

Whilst not first party (may as well be), FF7 is my stand out thus and it's the game I think of when I think of Playstation 5 right now. PS4 was Ghosts.

 

[ZehDon]

Remake of a PS3 game that already had a remaster on PS4, update for PS4 Pro and already ran through backwards compatibility on PS5.
You can't get a more PS5 experience than this.

This is legitimately what I think of when I think of the PS5.

Demon’s Souls and Returnal. Their best 1-2 punch of the generation. Actually made me super hopeful that PS was back to a less mainstream road.

How is From Souls not mainstream, at all? Stellar Blade is a much better example here, but I guess it doesn't fit the situation.

 

[Pimpbaa]

I mean Stellar Blade is my favorite Sony exclusive for this gen, but it definitely isn’t representative of the games we have got so far (as far as 1st party goes). Spider-man 2 defines Sony this gen. Lazy sequels (reused gameplay and assets) and bad writing with an increased push for “THE MESSAGE”. There are exceptions however like Stellar Blade, Returners, and Astrobot (never played it but does it reuse much from Astro’s playroom?).

 

[Ridicululzz]

Probably Rebirth or Astrobot. I'm gonna go with Rebirth though, I absolutely loved that game.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

For PS5 I’d go with the best game on the console.

For PS 30 years, that’s really tough and I could think of many options. I guess at the end of the day, there can only be one.

 

[Puscifer]

Returnal

There are more exceptions than games defining Sony according to you, lol (assuming they do).

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Unfortunately, the ones I'd pick don't represent the mess Sony is this gen.

My picks: Astrobot, Returnal.

Realistic picks: Spiderman, TLOU

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Remake of a PS3 game that already had a remaster on PS4, update for PS4 Pro and already ran through backwards compatibility on PS5.
You can't get a more PS5 experience than this.

Don't forget about how it was supposed to have been "built from the ground up for PS5" and wound up looking like a ps4 pro game (similar fidelity to LoU2 on ps5). To me that's a perfect microcosm of Sony and the PS5 this gen.

 

[Radical_3d]

PS5 - Demon’s Souls. A remake of an old game. Still better than what modern gaming has to offer. Still better than what the competition has to offer. Impressive visuals haven’t been surpassed 4 years into this sad generation. This is the perfect capsule of the PS5SX generation. A sad reminder of the best of times.

PS30 years - Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Hennig is god.

 

[Pimpbaa]

There are more exceptions than games defining Sony according to you, lol (assuming they do).

Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarok, Miles Morales, Spider-man 2, Rachet and Clank Rift Apart, Remasters of TLOU 1 and 2 (don’t count as sequels obviously, but man Naughty Dog put out nothing new this gen so far). That’s all the ones I can my weed addled brain can remember at the moment.

 

[Kabelly]

As a true PS5 Sony exclusive in these 4 years , it would either only be Returnal or Astrobot.

Everything else is an iterative sequel or a remake.

Stellar Blade, while my game of the year, was, and still is a multiplatform game. I don't view it as a Sony game.

Still waiting for new IP Naughty Dog. Factions would have also been peak if they focused on the right things.

 

[Mobilemofo]

Probably Returnal. I know it's a weird choice, but it is a PS5 game, it looks nice, has great sound design, plays well enough. Solid as fuck.

 

[Iced Arcade]

PS3 The Last Of Us
PS4 The Last Of Us Remaster
PS5 The Last Of Us Part 1

 

[Bernardougf]

Halo ps5.. just wait

 

[Hoddi]

Demon's Souls remake is still the only game this gen that has made me genuinely excited for it. Many have been good/fine but the gaming industry been awfully bland these past years.

I definitely have to give the God of War series the nod for the past 30 years though. I've played through all the old games (up to Ascension) in the past year on various emulators and consoles and they're all still brilliant even today. GoW 2018 is still good/fine but it's nothing like those older games.

I also have to play Returnal at some point though.

 

[Hohenheim]

Ps5: Returnal
Ps30: Demon Souls (OG)

 

[Cakeboxer]

Returnal, because it's a new ip and it's not a cinematic action adventure,
Second place is Remastered. That game is so good, Sony keeps making sequels.

 

[sono]

This is also a good thread for a non PS5 owner on the fence

Returnal, because it's a new ip

is this the only new ip mentioned here

 

[Cakeboxer]

is this the only new ip mentioned here

It's the only one i care about.

 

[AV]

Astro, obviously. The damn thing comes with an Astro game bundled into it that celebrates the console.

 

[Judge Magister]

4 years of PS5: The Last of Us series. This gen so far has been about redoing everything and diversity thematic.

30 years of PlayStation: Gran Turismo series. Always there, always exclusive and almost always great.

 

[ElFenomeno]

Nothing really for me.

 

[GymWolf]

Returnal or helldivers 2.

 

[Big Baller]

This game shows everything wrong with Sony.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Concord and TLOUII Remake

 

[Zathalus]

Horizon.

- 60fps patch for the first game
- sequel
- remaster
- spin off

 

[The_Observer]

Concord.
It represents all lameness that sony is doing since the ps4 dreamteam is gone. Worst gen ever by far.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

/s obviously

Don't ban me.

This encapsulates this gen so far.

This pointless shit.

Remake of a PS3 game that already had a remaster on PS4, update for PS4 Pro and already ran through backwards compatibility on PS5.
You can't get a more PS5 experience than this.

And of course, GT for the historic PS franchise.

 

[StueyDuck]

Returnal, astrobot

 

[Mayar]

There can only be one king worthy of this title, all the rest are pathetic imitators

 

[saintjules]

Returnal for the 4 years of PS.

Why?

Spoiler

 

[Trilobit]

/s obviously

Don't ban me.

It's gotten to the point where you can post Concord in any thread and it will give me a good laugh.

Edit: I realized I haven't played a single PS5 exclusive game so RDR2 still represents my best and most memorable experience on it. Going to try Returnal some day though.

It really doesn’t.
