Support NeoGAF

[IbizaPocholo]

It's amazing to look back at this year and Sony's initial showcase of the PS5 with its upcoming games. Microsoft was lambasted for hyping up games that were years away from launch while Halo Infinite failed to really impress with its gameplay demo (before the subsequent delay).

Sony was in the proverbial driver's seat and even in its second showcase event, it had some pretty big announcements and reveals. Unfortunately, it's only brought to light the numerous missteps that have been made with the PS5 along the way. Let's take a look at some of them here.

Wanna bulletpoint the 8 points?

 

[DeepEnigma]

ClickbaitBolt! Expect these on the daily for both consoles leading up until launch with their sister exposure n4g.

#1. Not having enough at launch

 

[DaleinCalgary]

#1. Not having enough at launch

#2 not explaining to people that you can't tool a factory to make 10 million units per month and then cut back to 1 million after 2 months as that would cost a fortune and be a bad business decision.

[Alebrije]

Nope...stop the clickbait virus...

Does any of this matter? They sold every single console they can make, and some of this stuff will be revealed sooner or later.

I also really don't get the outrage over Spiderman.

Many of these are either wrong or obviously still coming.

There is DS4 support on the PS5, but it's only to play PS4 games, because the DualSense has legitimately new features that PS5 games are required to support. Given that it comes with one I was never terribly fussed about this, but I haven't done much local multiplayer.

UI reveal is obviously coming. Create button details are obviously coming, and can generally be assumed to launch you into more of a creation studio rather than just take a screenshot or video.

There's only been, afaik, one game, or a few, that said with an upgrade you couldn't use cross save? Other devs chimed in and said you could on their games. I would assume a sane outcome here and it's just specific to that developer.

As a rule you should never watch list videos on youtube. They're almost always lazy clickbait.
