PS5 Hardware Reveal Trailer
The PS5 is finally here in the flesh. It looks like an alien artifact. I'm with it. There's a regular and disc-less version of the PS5. Accessories shown off are a charging station, an HD camera, a media remote and the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset. It's slimmer and sleeker than the Xbox Series X, but that might have a negative impact on performance.
Horizon Zero Dawn 2: Forbidden West
Horizon Zero Dawn 2: Forbidden West is officially confirmed. Looks incredibly beautiful and as badass as ever. The description reads:
"Horizon Forbidden West continues Aloy’s story as she moves west to a far-future America to brave a majestic, but dangerous frontier where she’ll face awe-inspiring machines and mysterious new threats. Coming to PlayStation 5."
Pragmata
Pragmata is another wild-looking sci-fi fantasy game that's arriving 2022. It's being developed by Capcom, which is exciting. It's unclear what this game is actually about, and the description doesn't say much.
Resident Evil 8 Village
Resident Evil 8 Village is here and you're back in the shoes of Ethan from Resident Evil 7, and Chris Redfield is making a return as possibly the villain. I'm a little disappointed that we're not actually playing Chris and that he's instead a villain, but I'm excited about the game regardless. The description for the game is scant, so tune in for more information. But, there are freaking werewolves, which is wild.
Deathloop
We finally got a gameplay trailer for Arkane Studios's first-person shooter called Deathloop. Some goofy-looking, but badass sci-fi gameplay was unveiled. The description reads:
"DEATHLOOP is an innovative first person shooter launching for PlayStation 5 and PC from Arkane Lyon, the award-winning studio behind the critically acclaimed Dishonored franchise. Launching Holiday 2020! The island of Blackreef. For most of its inhabitants, it’s a paradise. But for Colt, it’s an inescapable prison. Thanks to a mysterious timeloop, he’s reliving the same day, over and over, trying to find a way to break the endless cycle he’s trapped in. As Colt, you’ll have to take out eight targets – including your arch-nemesis Julianna Blake – if you ever want to escape. But remember: It’s a timeloop, so if at first you don’t succeed… die, die again."
Demon's Souls
The Demon's Souls remake has been finally confirmed by Bluepoint Games. I'm incredibly excited to get my ass kicked in this interpretation of FromSoftware's first Souls-like game. The description reads:
"From JAPAN Studio and Bluepoint Games comes a remake of the PlayStation classic, Demon's Souls. This remake invites players to experience the original brutal challenge, completely rebuilt from the ground up and masterfully enhanced with a new 'Fractured Mode.' In addition to beautiful shadow effects and ray tracing, players can choose between two graphics modes while playing: one focused on fidelity, and one focused on frame rate. Coming to PlayStation 5."
Bugsnax
From the creators of Octodad, Bugsnax seems to be a third-person adventure game. I'm watched strawberries with googly eyes get eaten by some sort of animal that then had its arms transformed into strawberries. It seems like a total meme, which is not a surprise. Arriving Holiday 2020.
NBA 2K21
NBA 2K21 teaser. That is all. Fall 2020.
Little Devil Inside
Little Devil Inside is a super goofy-looking action adventure game that seems to be parodying a lot of popular action-adventure games like Bloodborne and Monster Hunter. The description reads:

"Journey through a surreal, vivid and highly stylized world filled with mystery, wild high-speed traversal, endearing characters, and massive enemy encounters. The Void beckons…"
Godfall
Godfall made an appearance. The animations look smooth as ever. It's launching Holiday 2020. The description for this trailer reads:
"Take your first look at PlayStation 5 gameplay of Godfall and the world of Aperion—a world on the precipice of ruin.

Oddworld Inhabitants is back with another game called Oddworld: Soulstorm, which is third-person action platformer. It was teased in May. The description reads:
"Witness Abe's horrifying conflict with a terrifying new machination in this fresh narrative adventure.

With intelligent new mechanics and twisted new devices which enable highly explosive deviousness. This is a dark parable that tells an epic tale of a volatile society pushed to its limits."

Sumo Digital is back with Sackboy, bringing him in Sackboy: A Big Adventure. It's a full platforming adventure game specifically for Sackboy. It's a four-player co-op game, too. The description reads:

Returnal
A new Housemarque game is coming. It's a hardcore sci-fi game about living, dying and repeating events that you've experienced on a creepy alien planet. It's a third-person action shooter. It gave off Edge of Tomorrow vibes. It's called Returnal. The description reads:
"Returnal combines side-scrolling action with roguelike gameplay into a third-person shooter where players fight to survive a hostile planet that changes with every death.

Rachet & Clank is back in action, baby. Insomniac Games revealed some gameplay, showing off the original crew dimension jumping through all of the games. This game is called Rachet & Clank Rift Apart.
We got some pre-alpha footage of Rachet & Clank Rift Apart. The old crew are whacking, shooting and exploding baddies. It's unclear when this game takes place. Unfortunately, there's no additional information out right now, apart from the trailer.
Gran Turismo 7
Gran Turismo 7 is offically confirmed for PS5. All I see are pretty cars, but the trailer description reads:
"From classic vehicles and tracks to the reintroduction of the legendary GT Simulation Mode – Gran Turismo 7 brings together the best features from past installments of the series alongside the future. An even more realistic driving experience awaits thanks to haptic feedback, which brings to life what it’s like when the tires hit the road.

Spider-Man Miles Morales is coming, starring none-other-than Miles Morales, coming Holiday 2020. After the event, Sony clarified that this isn't a full game, but an expansion and "an enhancement to the previous game."
The somewhat-misleading description for the video reads: "Revealing Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a new adventure from Insomniac Games coming to PlayStation 5."
