The jet move is a Battlefield classic - this video is from BF3, but it was actually done way back in BF 1942:

“Censored classics”
Which classics are censored?
“Where is Craig? Is he safe? Is he alright?”
I agree, when a new generation starts we should never mention previously-released games again /s
What was Trump right about? Stop me if we’re getting too off-topic
On the whole, I agree that the state of gaming journalism is in the toilet.
To discuss the topic itself - it seems you’re suggesting that Sony built these games for the last 3-4 (or however long) years on the PS5, and then decided 6-12 months ago that they need a port to the PS4 due to shortages. I’m really not sure that’s how game development works, given platforms are usually decided and locked into development during pre and initial production.
Then th...
You can go back to articles on N4G at that time and see many people point out that exact fact - but they were downvoted and drowned out by the crowd who decided the “generations” quote was more important because it went against what MS was saying about cross-gen.
For every person that would point out MS and Sony were going to do the same thing by supporting cross-gen, you would have another 5 who vehemently deny it and say there’s no way Sony would do what MS is.

It seems like you didn’t read the comment, so I’m going to copy/paste it for you:
“For Horizon Forbidden West and God of War, however, these games were always intended to release as cross-gen titles, I was told, but Sony did not mention the last-gen console during the announcement of either title”
The point is that plans didn’t change, and they specifically banked on the fact that people were upset at MS over ‘holding back next ...
Not a loophole though, it’s a feature.
But I do anticipate they’ll remove that eventually too
Yeah, I also hate software that’s exclusive to one platform over another /s
Out of curiosity, what did you play?
I agree with almost all of your comment.
Attrition was great, and actually made you rely on your support teammates, or encouraged you to build up supply stations and cover at capture points. It also made for more interesting fights.
Since they changed it a year or so ago, it’s just “run around with primary weapon until you die, don’t stress about ammo because you have plenty”, kinda doesn’t jive with the WW2 setting.
I don’t necessarily...
“PS5 upgrades games in exactly the same way”
It doesn’t though

“This news is too good, must think of something bad... uh, um... not many people play the game in the article! Ha, that’ll learn them”
I’m just going to assume that you’re not interested in discussing properly if that’s your response. It’s a great feature, and one that I hope PS gets (or at least hope they make the current process easier). We should be demanding better features from our console manufacturers, not finding excuses to downplay ones on the opposite console of c...
“First, they had to make sure both versions of the game were downloaded and updated on the console. Then they had to migrate their save data over. Hours and dozens of GB of data later, they could delete the PS4 version and finally get to playing.”
“Marvel’s Avengers itself was also acting up, with the in-game option to migrate save data not appearing for some players. It took Crystal Dynamics several tweets and a dedicated FAQ on PlayStation’s website to explain the process...

Does this change your opinion?
I think looking into a TV app that lets you play Xbox games is a far cry from 2013’s “yeah we made a console, but look you can watch football and sport and TV!”
Don’t know if you read the article or not, but Phil agrees with you, FYI.
“Spencer reiterated that he doesn't see streaming as the end of Microsoft's dedicated consoles, however, saying, "I don’t think these will be the last big pieces of hardware that we ship."
“He later continued, "I don’t think the outcome is by definition going to be, 'everything becomes terminal-server in my home and all my games are just running completely...
I read the same section (posted by another commenter for reference), and it reads to me that he’s more trusting consumers to know the difference.
If someone walks into a store who doesn’t have a clue, and sees 2 Xboxes with different packaging and a different price point, they’re going to ask the guy at the counter what the difference is. Contrary to what some people on N4G say, people don’t panic-purchase $300-$500 consoles when they don’t know which does what
“ Playstation games sell well enough without them being on PC”
Apparently Sony disagrees with you
