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 ...
Sounds to me less of a PS5 and more a PS4 Pro 2. None of this utilizes what the PS5 could truly have pulled off if it didn't have to be shackled to a base model PS4. Instead of having something truly remarkable and next-gen we'll only have slightly prettier graphics.
If you're not going to make your flag ship games the prime showcase of what a PS5 can do, then wtf is even the point of a PS5 at all? The PS5 is starting to sound more like it should have just been called the PS4 Pro 2. Now we'll have to wait for years for the actual PS5 exclusive sequels and by then the PS6 will be on the horizon and by then, we'll get buy a PS5 version and then get an inevitable PS6 remaster.
This isn't really indicative of how large the map will be, I mean look at Death Stranding for example, we're lead to believe we're traversing across the entire country was it? but the map is nowhere near that big, it just shows variety of places of interest if anything.
Yeah, honestly the only reason I was able to stomach through DQ11 was because they let me change the world them to the DQ8 theme. The DQ11 world theme was just an offensive assault on the ears after first 5 minutes.
Does all of this really matter when the systems sell out the moment they're listed? If anything, this is just an indicator of who can make more consoles than the other.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild was giving off some serious Just Cause/Every other Survival Game vibes.
There's no way Sony could afford Square. If Sony wanted to buy Square they should have done so in the early 2000s after the Final Fantasy Spirits Within movie tanked hardcore and nearly bankrupted them. Square is far too healthy today for Sony to purchase, Capcom as well, they're doing the best business they've probably ever had in a long time and Sony's pockets aren't nearly as deep to make it worthwhile.
Yeah, we're never getting GTA6.
Being able to monetize is a very thin line to tread. It has to be super high quality and approved by Sony, I'm not paying a cent for some 10 second art piece or crappy meme dream. There are some insanely awesome stuff on Dreams that deserves some money though, especially VR ones.
With the amount of games I have in my backlog, I can wait until the death of the universe.
I'm holding off playing this in hopes of PSVR2 support!
God I can't wait for FF7:RE part 2 to be shown.
This author needs to be dragged out and shot.
Take into heart what the Days Gone dev said about don't be shocked as to why there isn't a sequel if people aren't buying at full price. If people don't buy the game, don't be shocked if FF7:RE never finishes or takes even longer to finish. Don't get me wrong, I get it but if every person or most people had the same thought of "I'll just wait for the complete collection" (I know I did many times). Would there EVER be a complete collection?
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...
