Well then I gotta ask you, what do you think would be top tier launch material? What do you expect from a launch?
Personal tastes aside, something that really screams "next-gen" and shows off what the system can do. Something that isn't available on other platforms, either- sell people on the system.
"Also on PS4 and/or PC" doesn't do that. I don't care for Horizon, but that sequel would have made one hell of a launch title, especially pre-PS4 cross-gen announcement.
Nintex made some good points and I think the types of system launches I like are probably long gone. For Sony, I liked the Playstation 1 launch line-up at the time, but that was a) the American launch, where they had more time to get out more games, and b) a massive leap from the SNES and Genesis. I also really liked the PSP and Vita launches. Looking at those lists and thinking back, PS3 and PS4 didn't have good launches. PS3 did get Motorstorm, Virtua Fighter 5, and Tekken 5 DR fairly quick (in Japan) after launch, at least.
PS3 also had at least a few more games, but nothing worth mentioning. The big thing about Resistance at the time was the number of players who could play online- it allowed for 40 player matches, which IIRC was unheard of at the time on consoles. Genji 2 sucked. Ridge Racer 7 was also PS3-exclusive, although it felt very much like a RR6 upgrade.
So let's look at that PS5 launch line-up:
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla
Astro’s Playroom (Installed on every PS5)
Demon’s Souls (Remake)
Destiny 2: Beyond Light
Destruction All-Stars
Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition
Godfall
Observer: System Redux
Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Destruction All Stars
Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Let's adjust that for games
only available on the PS5:
Astro’s Playroom (Installed on every PS5)
Demon’s Souls (Remake)
Destruction All-Stars
Three games- the rest are on PC and/or PS4. That just doesn't scream "day one" to me. Like I said, I'm not big on Souls. I'm not really big on Spider-Man either, but I would get that and will likely get it on PS4.
There's just not a big launch title that has me wanting one of these day one.
