That’s exactly why I got ZoE too lol. I played the MGS2 demo like 20 times before I even touched ZoE, which was a very good game, I was pleasantly surprised.

Generic PR puff statements legitimately garner attention from NeoGAF?
But why?

The game has been rated in both Japan and Korea. It is probably coming out at launch.

That would make the launch pretty great IMO

Is Demon Souls launch? Aside from Spider-Man all the others are multi plat.

But you have to admit that having Spiderman and Demon Souls as launch titles would be pretty interesting. And then we have to see if Sony managed to nab any third party exclusives at launch as well.

But do we know if Souls is launch yet or not?

imo beating ps4's launch titles cannot be considered as an achievement neither something to be proud of.

Sounds like they are trying to get it for launch and if not then shortly after.
It hasn't been confirmed yet but it also hasn't been given a date either. It probably will arrive at launch or shortly after.
Edit: Added another tweet that I found interesting.

This phrase was dumb when Spencer used it. It's dumb when this guy uses it.
One of the reasons is what a game means to someone is still highly subjective. Is this guy telling me that the lineup coming is better than the PS1 "lineup" we had in 98 when Metal Gear Solid and Xenogears released on the same freakin' day? Maybe THAT was the "greatest lineup in Playstation history." And that was just one moment for the PS1. We have the rest of that systems life, and the 2-4 still left to cover.
So basically, marketing people continue to be marketing people (i.e. inane).

Based on the preceding wording, he seems to be referencing the launch window lineup. This may not be that far fetched given the historic PlayStation launch lineups.

Head of global marketing praises their product.

Rumors starting that demon souls is a launch title or within the first six months since it was rated in japan and korea, that would be huge with spiderman

Well, why don't you look at the games then? There are ten - or even more - first-party titles (Miles Morales, Gran Turismo 7, Ratchet & Clank, Returnal, Sackboy, Destruction All Stars, Astro's Playroom, Demon's Souls, Silent Hill, Horizon: Forbidden West) planned for PlayStation 5's first year.
Why are y'all calling this statement bullshit instead of looking at the facts?

"The content that will be in the launch window and beyond is incredibly exciting. I would say that this is the best line-up that we've ever seen in the history of PlayStation..."
He literally says launch window and BEYOND. It would take years to be sure he was full of crap.

Do we actually have confirmation that all of these are planned for the 1st year of PS5?

I think this is the gamer's equivalent of "This is the most important election in history." They literally say it every time.

It'd be great if it happened, but I doubt it? One or two surprises would be nice, but even then, it's hard to hold out hope for titles Sony is holding back when we could list their studios who aren't already accounted for. (It'd be great if SCE Santa Monica had a project in the works beyond the one we know they have, but God of War won't be a launch title...)
I don't think he's talking about a launch line-up, he's talking about what is in the pipeline for the immediate future (the "launch window") and maybe even beyond.
Given that games take so long to develop these days, I think marketing managers see the products in the shop so often that it's all just the "line-up" (also, he may be counting "enhanced" releases of available games, like Microsoft is.) (Also note, he's talking about both 1st- and 3rd-Party, so AC Valhalla and Dirt 5 are in "the line-up".) Reading the article (and BTW, it's a very small bit of the interview, but of course it got clipped out because that's how hype work, even for a forum like GAF that has no moneyhats to win from clickbait...), I don't get the impression that an onslaught of big secrets are still to come before the impact of the November/December launch phase-1 is over. "We've revealed some of that content, and naturally there will be more to come...", that doesn't seem IMO like that big a hook to hang those insiders' hats on.

Considering that Sony has delivered on their game promises in the past, I believe him. The launch software is looking weak, but beyond launch is where I expect his statement to ring true.

Can I play any of these games? Is there at least reviews for those titles?

Why are you so defensive?
Don't get me wrong I'm getting PS5 day one, and for the upgrades to games I love alone I think it will be a great acquisition, but c'mon now, believing marketing departments is just naive.

What they have shown had been Pretty average so far. I don't know wtf he's talking about.
Show dont tell and if you dont have gameplay to show, just stfu.

Don't just look at it their own internal studios
Out of the 8 first party games they've revealed, 4 of them are being developed by third-party studios.

PS3 had a way better lineup: Motorstorm, Resistance, Ridge Racer 7 just to name a few, its not even comparable to todays trash games. God i loved the ps3

Launch games usually disappoint. I remember one stand out in the last 20 years: Halo CE.
Anyway get hyped I guess.

If Demon's Souls is out launch day then he's technically right. The best kind of right.
