Small sample size at the moment, but Wasteland 3 and soon those Psychonauts 2 improvements give me hope that having actual talent + the influx of MS's $$ is helping those teams do good things.
You could always go PC though. While I suspect and hope PS will still see support, we know PC will still be 100% supported.

People ignore the rest of his statement though.
"We have always felt that we had a responsibility to serve that [PS4] community for several years after the launch of PS5 and that it represented a huge business opportunity for us," Ryan says. "The numbers are quite straightforward. If you say in broad brush figures that we have a community of 100 million PS4 owners right now, and in the first couple of years... I don't know, somewh...
Thanks, Billy! I tried to keep the syllable count down so you could understand it!
The irony in what you're trying to point to here is that many were "misled" on this subject; however, most of that came from media, fanboys, and click-bait sites that pushed an inaccurate narrative.
They were able to do so because 1. It was framed in a very pro-Sony way, right? Fanboys relished in the idea that their preferred brand was doing something different, which of course ALWAYS means better.
2. Sony didn't correct that narrat...
No.
That's called still producing a last gen system. Kind of like the PS4 is still being produced.
It's really not that hard to figure this out.
So much effort to downplay a very simple and a realistic proposition.
Series S replaces the One S.
Series X replaces the One X.
If you bought a One X, why are you concerned about the low-end model?
The One X upgraded titles to match its hardware features, which namely focused on upping resolution and providing more stable FPS. The Series S is enhancing games to match its hardware features which DO NOT focus on 4k.

When has this ever been done though? We've had varying HDD sizes, but when has Sony ever had a lower spec'd console launch alongside a higher spec'd machine in the same line?
How dare you expect transparency, honesty, and consistency!
Just wanted to echo your last point.
Do you remember how Ubisoft supposedly pushed so hard to get away from 360/PS3 for the same reason? Then they don't even substantially upgrade their engines until a couple years ago?
Genius!
The stock is the stock. I don't know about other retailers, but what was the point of Sony's email notifications if this is the outcome?
Also, I'm not sure how it's wise to have your limited supply go up for preorders first.
If someone couldn't snag a next gen system, and don't want to spend $1,000+ on ebay, maybe some of them go and just grab an Xbox next week instead. At least if you had Xbox go first,...
"Hard times"?
Come on. These games have been in development for a long time. They didn't just say, oh Covid, let's make them cross-gen. That's some serious spin.
It's not about lying per se. But they did openly embrace the false pretenses that they weren't going to be doing this kind of support, and they stoked the fanboy wars and hype with these tactics. That's business, and I don't begrudge them for it.

I love R+C, but in all the years I've been playing them, this may be the first time I've ever seen people try to convince others that R&C is worth buying a $500 console.
Love Housemarquee too, but how confident are you in that release date/year?
We know demon souls is possible on other systems, because it's literally a remake.
Come on, guys. HFW and Spidey were the huge "must haves" touted by so very many peo...
I got to admit, I'm laughing at the diehards pretty hard over this news. All of those who doubled down on that "only possible" on next gen rhetoric.
The writing has been on the wall - "next gen" starts in 2022.
Read what, Joe Joe? This article is literally the only place I've seen 1.4 mentioned. Don't know the difference between High Speed and Ultra High Speed myself. Got a link?
Edit: Nvm, saw your comment history. Carry on little troll, carry on.
I'm confused where that info comes from. I scrolled through the source (xbox page) and the article.
So I'm apparently one of the people who "didn't notice" that.
But you skip part of that proposition: what is required to run NEXT GEN GAMES at lower resolution?
As in...same games that will push the X and PS5, but at lower visuals.
Every Xbox 1st Party game will come to PC, right? Well some of those PCs those games will run on will be lower spec'd then the S. Vast majority of multiplats too. So what's holding those games back exactly?
A $500 gaming console isn't some magical device th...
Isn't the "only possible on next gen" feature being pushed by the medium reliant on the SSD? Don't see the issue there.
Did you see the TF count on the next gen graphics cards? It would seem that the X and PS5 will be holding them back too, I guess.
The S wasn't engineered in some vacuum. They sought out a simple proposition: what kind of specs are needed to run next gen games at 1080/1440. This is where it landed.
To those "confused" about this, no, it isn't the same support as what is already on the Xbox One. There, Vision, aside from some beta attempts, only applied to streaming and media.
This will be the 1st time it will used for gaming on any console.
Dolby Vision seems to be on a good path of adoption. It looks like they now have all of the major TV manufacturers on board (including late adopter Sony), and having the support of Netflix, and n...
Looks like they bought the whole bag. They may negotiate it to include some form of IP buyback if a studio wants out down the road, but as of now, future publishing goes through MS.
