People can debate the PS5’s aesthetics while Microsoft and Sony bicker about which system is more powerful, but none of that matters without games. And no games are more important to a new generation of hardware than launch titles. They are what sell systems, and without something exciting and new to play, no console will do well at launch.
Fortunately, it looks like Sony is off to a semi-good start in that department. During Thursday’s The Future of Gaming showcase, developers had submitted 26 trailers to the show. Not all of them are day-one titles. Some are not due out until sometime in 2021 or 2022 even. But we noted seven releases that you can expect to see at or around launch time.
At first, I thought Insomniac’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales was a new game. However, after looking into the title, it appears that it is actually an expanded and enhanced version of the 2018 game and its DLC, The City That Never Sleeps. There’s nothing wrong with that. It is a great play.
Miles plays a bit role in the original and was a playable character for some missions, just as Mary Jane was. The Remaster, coming out during the holidays, will expand the Miles Morales character even further as he learns to harness his powers under the tutelage of Peter Parker. This is wise of him because, as we know, « With great power comes great responsibility. »
Jett: The Far Shore was one of a few unusual-looking games shown. Not much is known about it other than the protagonist, named Mei, embarks on a voyage to a faraway planet to save her people from « oblivion. » Oh, and that the trip takes hundreds of years.
We only got a glimpse of the gameplay, but it seems to involve exploring the planet using a craft called a « jett.
