Forums - Gaming Discussion - Any word on what the launch titles for Gen 9 will be (PS and XB)

I'd ask 'Switch 2', but frankly that seems a bit too far ahead. 

Launch titles can make or break a system can they not (hello Breath of the Wild!), and I certainly like to think that Sony and Microsoft would know that. I suppose the obvious first guesses are LoU2 and Halo, but perhaps that isn't truely the case.



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Around the Network

Xbox will probably have Halo, Forza, and maybe NT 2nd game.
Playstation will probably have Ghost of Tsushima and some unannounced games.
There will be BC and lots of third parties too.



You didn't hear it from me but:

NBA 2K21
Madden NFL 21
Call of Duty

Please Watch/Share this video so it gets shown in Hollywood.

Microsoft: Halo and Forza.
Sony: Beats me.

Both: A shit ton of 3rd parties including Call of Duty 2020, FIFA 21, a new Assassin's Creed; Backwards compatibility.



I'm more interested in the launch games for PC2.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Around the Network

Ghosts of Tsushima and the next Assassin's Creed most likely, and all the other yearly titles



Xbox 2: Exclusive 8k 120fps remake of Final Fantasy 2 and 5, bundled together

PlayStation 5: Duke Nukem Forever And Ever (sequel) made exclusively. 1080p and 20fps due to poor optimization.

Switch 2: New game based on Donkey Kong 64 multiplayer. Just the multiplayer. They do this instead of Splatoon 3. And yes, there will be passable walls.

Ohh I'm intrigued! Tell me more about the new PC2!! :D



Well besides the jokes and yearly releases the only game I remember talk about on next gen was Cyberpunk or the like. No platform holder have announced or will announce their next gen games before properly revealing the console in a stage.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

Halo is the only confirmed, first-party, big name launch title that we know of. If Microsoft can pull off a great Halo game, that would be very helpful to them at the start of the generation. On the other hand, the fact that we know Halo will be cross-generation kind of runs counter to that. For someone like me, who definitely picks up every Halo on launch day, I don't have to buy their new console to play it. Maybe I will, but I don't have to. If Sony were launching with an exclusive that I must have, that is not playable on PS4, that would be a big check mark in Sony's favor. That might get me to pick up their console first in the next generation.

Anyway, I see Halo: Infinite as crucial to the success of the next Xbox.
