As it stands you should only expect PS4 BC. Everything else is just a cherry on top. Although there's no real reason why it shouldn't have PSone/PS2 support as well. The PS3 along with the PSP/Vita are the real question marks.
I mean PS3 had full PS1 support and they already have a working emulator on PS4 for PS2. PS3 I think is possible but I doubt they'd want to put the effort into a good emulator. That said I only expect PS4 BC.

PSP/Vita would be limited by its smaller digital library but could you imagine if it had a UMD drive and Vita card reader? It's a dream but what a dream! Crisis Core playing on your PS5.... Mmmmm.

I don't even want proper disk-based BC for the PS1 and PS2, I just want to have access to those games. Even if I have to rebuy them (again), I don't care. If they can give me good emulation with some enhancements, like FHD or 4K internal rendering and PGXP for the PS1, better yet.

This! I play most of my stuff on Xbox nowadays, but I'd come running back to Playstation if a new console could play all of my old favorites with some enhancements.

I think it's really going to come down to whether they can get BC working for the PS3. Because it'd be odd to have BC for the PSone, PS2 and PS4, but skip the PS3. But everyone knows what a headache getting any kind of BC working with that console is going to be so who knows if they're willing to go through with it. It'd certainly be huge news if they could announce that the PS5 will run every generation of PS games including the handhelds. Every PS generation is stacked, so it'd give the console an unbelievable library right off the bat.

No they'll be on stage, all live, audience reacting and everything.

At least that's what I think, it's possible they won't, but I think they will be back.
I don't know if everyone thinks the same, but people in this thread are supposedly ok with Sony not doing any press conference as long as the information in said press conference comes out in a State of Play or blog post. Basically they don't care how the information is delivered to them, as long as it is delivered.

Maybe the general public thinks like that too. Personally, traditional press conference should never not exist.

It just wouldn't feel impactful enough to dump the reveal of PS5 in a SoP, but then Nintendo did it with the Switch so who knows.

I just hope they do a live reveal and a live stage E3, the roof will come off just like it did for PS4.

As long as Sony insist on having trophy for all games playable on ps4/5, ps1 and ps2 classics won't return. It's so annoying. I still think the scarce ps2 games release on ps4 had to do with publishers don't want to bother adding trophies. They should have simply do rom dump like ps3, maybe we would have more ps2 release.

My "dream" ps5, in terms of BC, would be to able to insert any disc - or use any already owned games - and just play em. Similar to how xbox one does it. I love the trophies in ps2 games, but I'd be down to making that dlc instead if that means more support.

Hell, I'd pay an extra $100 or more if they had to put some ps3 tech to allow ps3 playback. I'd be all over that shit.

I find it a bit weird that so many people seem convinced Sony will do a meeting early next year just because they did the same for PS4.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony only does their own event whenever they have everything set into place. I'm not so sure they'll do something like PS4 reveal again without a console or price, with a lot of talk and only showing little bits from games.

Anyone who doesn't vote Shadow Fall or First Light as best first party title is going on my enemies list.

You do not want to be on my enemies list.

Three best PS4 exclusives this gen are Bloodborne, Astro Bot and The Last Guardian.

From the western games it's either Spidey or The Lost Legacy for me.

Third party: Prey, Sekiro, DOOM

Indie: probably The Witness

Rocksteady waiting for that PS5 reveal to show something off...

At this point it definitely seems like whatever they're working on is going to be a next-gen title. WB let them make AK exclusively for the current-gen, so there's no reason to think they wouldn't do the same with this one. The most surprising thing is that it looks like WB Montreal is going to go an entire generation without releasing a AAA game.

Thanks for so many incredible answers! And they're varied as hell too :)

Those games I haven't played or finished yet I'll definitely check out, I also made an alternative account to platinum games I already have achieved the platinum, will most likely replay some of the titles like Spider-Man and God of War among others.

Thanks again for the answers everyone (And keep it coming :p)
If I finish the games you have recommended me I'll quote you down the line

They are my favorite games this gen together with Overwatch. If I had to pick one from Sony WWS it would be God of War, though Horizon was pretty damn good too.

No love for Celeste?
Not sure if this is a hot take or not, but I played it well after all of the hype and was kinda... underwhelmed by it? The music is great, the gameplay's tight and the mechanics are fun for the most part, but idk, it's missing something that games like Super Meat Boy have and I can't really explain what it is. The first three chapters draaaaag as well.

God Of War, easy pick only thing that could displace it is TLOU pII. Lost Legacy was awesome as well, best Uncharted game.
Witcher 3, haven't finished it yet but it is amazing, should have played it sooner. For Honor gets a nod simply for how much hours I put into it.
Guacamelee! 2, fantastic sequel to the first game, some of those platforming challenges for the Plat made me throw my controller. However I am a bit disappointed with Sony's Indie output overall, started so good with Resogun but they didn't keep it up imo.
