Bonfires Down
comment about the architecture being the same in this generation's jump - for the first time in the history of PS and Xbox - there's really no reason NOT to be cross gen for 90% of third party games and hit a huge audience that hasn't upgraded yet.
Yup. Most AAA games today could easily have a PS360 version.Controversial take: Law of diminishing returns.
Games haven't changed THAT much since the late PS3/360 generation, just shinier graphics - which themselves are reaching the point that other than more FPS in 4k, there aren't many gains unless you're pouring hundreds of millions into it. So combined with
Because you touch yourself at night.
Um, ok....
Kzsf began development in 2011. 2 years before ps4 became available in 2013. Same timeframe. Thats not an excuse. They are first party and they should’ve had devkits or target specs available.
And it effectively killed the franchise.
There's a big difference in the amount of work to get a PS4 to run on PS3 than there is to get a PS5 game to run on PS4. PS3 is a complete oddball and does not play well with others.
this is EVOLVE erasure
That's not controversial in the slightest.Controversial take: Law of diminishing returns.

Fuck
Press X to doubt. Profitability is at all time highs. I don’t disagree that exclusives are becoming less important tho.
Thank you, this was very informative.TLOU Part 1 and Ghostwire Tokyo are also current gen exclusives for this year.
It's easier to develop for last gen and this gen than it was to develop for last gen and the gen before, meaning some devs are going to chase the larger install base to maximize sales
Also it can't be understated how the pandemic fucked everything up both from a game dev standpoint and from available consoles which limits the potential userbase of games being released. Sony in particular was aiming to come out swinging VERY hard with the PS5. They had an absolutely batshit insane 2020 with first party and console exclusive content to both see the PS4 off and introduce the PS5:
Then for 2021 they had intended to keep that momentum going with the following planned lineup:
The pandemic completely threw 2021 out of whack not only for Sony, but everyone across the board as studios had to adapt to a work from home workflow. As a result many projects got pushed back even further. We likely would've had far more current gen only titles release this year without the pandemic delays, but not much anyone could've done about that. Forspoken got pushed out of this year, but given its original release date it's possible it could've released in 2021 if the pandemic hadn't happened. FF16 very well could've launched this year as well instead of next Summer.
Plus the PSVR2 and its launch lineup are another group of games that will include current gen only content like Horizon Call of the Mountain. It's still within the realm of possibility that will drop this year, but more likely is it'll release early next year.
Look at the above 2021 lineup Sony had intended to have. Now realize that we would've been balls deep into the originally planned 2022 lineup, whatever that was, which certainly would've included plenty more current gen exclusives. So yeah, the pandemic really screwed things over...what can ya do.
2k erased it first

Feels like it, for sure
This is why i’m hesitant in jumping into PC gaming. Both consoles offer fantastic performance right now (very little 30fps nonsense) especially for the dollars spent. Spending a ton of money for more fps isn’t ideal. Now, maybe older gaming?Controversial take: Law of diminishing returns.

Well someone has toBecause you touch yourself at night.
You know PC has exclusives don't you? Unless you don't care about those then yea you are mostly right.
I think that by the time this generation is over, we'll have a handful of games at most that will actually require a PS5-level SSD, and they'll all be first party Sony exclusives.
I have heard they are mainly AO or strategy which I don’t care for. Anything else outside of those that are noteworthy?
This is the answer. Well, half the answer. Thr other half is that they know that they CAN and people will still eat it up.
