Only a website like this could ever condone this level of mental gymnastics to justify this thing.
Fine, don't give us 4K but god's sake at least make your hardware strong enough to run your games at a respectable performance.
This is utterly disappointing. No upgrade in performance hardware and a switch to a screen that's prone to burn-in? No thanks, you'd have to pay me to take this thing.
I dont think I'll ever see a PS5 until the PS6.
To me it's not that it "looks bad" it's more like it "looks like it plays bad".
Please Sony, come back to E3...
I want Chaos: The Game. Only to play a drinking game with how many times they'll say "Chaos" throughout the game.
I love the historical TW games but after the Warhammer series, I can never go back. Which is why I'm worried after TW:WH3 releases, what's next?
That's quite generous.
I don't get all the crying, just wait a few months and it'll be on sale.
It's not going to affect it negatively but it is going to be obvious at certain points in the game where we'll notice that we're only experiencing this gameplay effect because it's being held back. There will be parts of a boss fight or whatever where we'll think "Well this could have been even better". It's the dev's job to minimalize those points in the game so the player is so engrossed, they'll won't notice it but once the real PS5 sequel come...
Is this like how WoW is handling leveling where you can basically level wherever the hell you want at any level?
For smaller games there should still be support but for their flag ship games, they should definitely have been only PS5 only.
It's not about "looking good". It's about being able to be played differently. Take the new Ratchet and Clank game for example. I bet the PS4 can run it with frame rate and resolution sacrifices but the gameplay will be sacrificed the most. It'd be a completely different experience.
I guarantee that when GoW and Horizon releases, the games will be excellent but there will be sequences in which we'll all go, "Well this would definitely not be happe...
That's not the point. The point is that the PS5 GoW is essentially chained to the ankle of its lowest common denominator now, which is the base model PS4. A GoW specifically designed for ONLY the PS5 would look and play beyond what a cross gen GoW could ever be able to pull off. The next GoW and Horizon will be filled with the same hidden loading screen mechanics present in the current games. It'll still be anchored instead of having those anchors lifted.
No one is arguing that they'll be great grand slams upon release. We're arguing that down the line, when the REAL PS5 exclusive Horizon and GOW sequels come out 5 years later, we'll look back and realize what we could have had years ago if we hadn't had the PS4 sand bag us down.
There's no "bait and switch" here. You got the exact system that was advertised. It's the games that were downgraded to fit the PS4 line. If these games had another year or two before releasing, they wouldn't bother with the PS4 because by then there would be enough PS5s out there to justify the console exclusivity. FF7 RE: Intergrade and Part 2 for example are PS5 only games. Hopefully they'll use UE5 for Part 2, something only a PS5 could handle. Horizons third seq...
Well next-gen fish AI wasn't really all that was cracked up to be.
I don't have a PS5 yet but what's the point of buying one at all now if all the prime flag ship games are also available for the PS4? Will they be 9/10 or 10/10 sure, but there will be sequences in it where you just know they had to have added it in because they had to keep parity with the PS4, so I'll ask again, wtf is even the point? We ragged on Microsoft for this same thing where they made the Xbox Series S and, shackling them to a weaker system and here we with the PS5 doing ...
I was just playing Stardew Valley today for a few hours and I then realized if I had been playing this game back in the day when I sank in hundreds of hours into it on an OLED screen, I'd be looking at some severe burn-in. I have an LG OLED TV that has horrific burn-in. I'll never buy OLED again. They look amazing as all hell but unless they can guarantee no burn-in or offer 4 year warranty for it, I'm out.
