There's the darth we know and love downvoting. You'd been saying so many reasonable things recently I thought you were sick or had been abducted by aliens or something.
First of all, I'm specifically talking about PlayStation. This is a story about PS first party games. Also, it's telling that you mention Destiny, because Bungie has admitted that Destiny was gimped to accommodate PS3 and 360 ( 1761d ago 2 agree5 disagreeView comment
Even early-PS3 Sony made real exclusives for their new console. And PS2 had a bigger install base than PS4 does, while PS3 sold slower than PS5.
"You fools" lol I've been a Sony fanboy forever. I supported PS3 in 2006 when all the nubs got hyped over Dead Rising and Gears of War. But even overconfident 2006 Sony at least made games designed for their new console. Uncharted wasn't cross gen with PS2, despite PS2's massive install base.
Santa Monica probably won't make a game actually designed around PS5 until it is making a cross gen PS5/PS6 game.
Yeah, why are they leaving the 150+ million PS2 owners behind?
Why didn't they make all their PS3 games cross gen with PS2 then? It had a better install base in 2006-2008 than PS4 does now, and PS3 sold slower than PS5.
By 2022 I could easily find you a PS5. You could get one yourself if you'd get discord and set notifications for drops. Also, it has never been the case that the install base of a new system has to match the old one before companies focus on the new system. Do you really think PS3's install base was anything like PS2's in 2007 when Uncharted launched? Do you think PS4 had outsold PS3 when Bloodborne came out?
No they aren't. What were the first party games that were cross gen PS2/PS3? Maybe Singstar or something random, but not AAA games. What about on PS3/ PS4?
This first party focus on cross gen is totally new.
Yep. Whatever minimal justification there is for cross gen in 2021 is certainly gone in 2022. This is the equivalent of Bloodborne being developed for PS3. When MGSV launched in 2015 (two years after PS4 and XONE launched) the last gen versions of the game absolutely tanked. God of War is being ruined for no reason.
I can't believe Xbox is going to make a meaningful generational shift before PlayStation. Fire Jim Ryan ASAP, he's ruining everything.
Stop with the shortage nonsense. Even with supply constraints, they are selling more PS5s than they did PS4s or PS3s in the same period, yet Uncharted: Drake's Fortune wasn't cross gen with PS2 and Bloodborne wasn't cross gen with PS3. This is a monumentally stupid move.
I automatically read this as "No Map Editor because of the focus on the last-gen versions."
Guys remember 4 years ago when the CPUs on last gen consoles were mobile CPUs that were too slow and devs needed more power? Weird how they improved so much since then.
Honestly, I feel like they were largely dead already by the time FC2 came out. I also think you are really overestimating the success of the multiplayer components of the Far Cry Series if you really think the existence of the map editor prevented them from substantial mtx/map pack sales.
Yeah. Lol "turn Battlefield into COD: Black Ops Cold War" is one of the weirdest ideas I've heard in awhile. BF is at its best when it is most distinct from COD (Longer matches, Conquest mode, destructability) and at its worst when it tried to follow COD (Firestorm, knockoff perk systems, overly complex unlock system at the expense of defined classes). I don't understand why people who like COD don't just keep playing COD.
Do you really think Crytek didn't know about the current-gen consoles before last fall? How do you think other studios have been able to launch games with native versions on the current gen machines during this same timeframe? Do you think the Crysis Remasters were in development before Resident Evil Village?
Yeah, that seems to be the trend. Rather than create a native version for the new consoles, just add in some settings like an unlocked framerate mode that allows f...
Me too. Unfortunately I think the excellent BC features of both new consoles are causing some devs to think that the cost savings of not making native current gen versions of games outweighs whatever extra profits they'd make by adding those extra versions. It seems this is the same thing that happened with the Mass Effect trilogy remaster.
Hmm from the blog post it seems like they aren't making native versions for current gen consoles, just last gen versions that will run better via BC.
People are really reaching on the nostalgia front if we're talking about how great renting games from Blockbuster was.
That makes more sense because it's the same gen. Super Switch indicates another generation of hardware.
Seriously. Games built for a 2013 CPU should be easy for PS5 to handle.
