Jim Ryan: All future cross-gen titles, including God of War and GT7, will be $10 upgrades from PS4 to PS5

If you understood there is no $10 upgrade for PS4. You have to pay $20 for the digital deluxe up front.
If you buy standard, physical or digital, there is no path to upgrade to ps5 at all. No $10 upgrade.

I missed what exactly? The PS4 version is $10 cheaper. Hence a free upgrade would create a loophole. People are whining because nowadays people are obsessed with whining. Simple.

I will just wait for a sale on it but yes I do have a PS5 and I will purchase the game. I only buy new games on sale or used games. My backlog is so big going back to PS2 and OG Xbox days that I can wait a few months to save 20$ or 30$.

The $10 more crap for the PS5 version is absolute nonsense, like the PS5 version costs more to create 
Ryan even said something along those lines didn't he? Its like charging more for a PC game if you own a high spec one

The game isn't out yet. And Sony has already set that precedent with GoT. You're telling me people are whining because the option isn't displayed? Please. That's absolutely NOT why people are whining.

Both versions should cost the same.

Now it makes sense. They need the extra cash to feed Aloy.
The title of the thread is misleading and I've already posted here that they didn't promise a free upgrade for Horizon even if it was worded strangely.
In a FAQ they stated the way to get both is via digital deluxe. If there was a $10 upgrade option why wouldn't they mention it there? This is new precedent which is why it's noteworthy. Would've saved the PR headache if they made it clear there was an upgrade path.

You also exclusively get a special emote added to your #P$5Share twitter post, not accessible to poors.

for some reason I can't quote your post. Saying you can choose to view something as a good thing from a specific point of view is not the same thing as saying this is definitively a good thing. The certain point of view in this case was from the perspective of someone who can't get a PS5 and doesn't want to buy the same game twice. The alternate point of view being someone who is not interested in upgrading their PS4, buying a different device or just bowing out of games I guess.

Price is a wholly separate topic. And the beauty of that, is that we still live in a free market where individual approach to value is always available. Think one is too expensive or too cheap?
Don't buy it.

Ghost of Tsushima upgrade to PS5 is a bag of shit for PS4 owners who paid Sony full price for the game. There is no "pay $10" option for PS4 owners to get the PS5 version of that game unless you also buy the DLC on PS4 for $20. That means day 1 PS4 buyers end up paying $90 for a game that's all in for $70 on PS5. People have a right to be pissed about being hung out to dry that way. Moral of the story is to just not buy Sony first party until the prices drop or they figure out how to not make cross gen upgrades a total shitshow.

With flight sim you get the standard version with game pass ultimate. If you want the rest of the game it costs you.
Forza is the same way.

Read again... they did said launch PS5 titles will have free upgrade path.
It was never a launch title... what delay are you talking about?
You guys are crazy.

You have literally picked the worst example ever.
You get the huge base game of Flight Simulator in all its glory with your GP Subscription, FS is stacked without the DLC what point are you trying to make with "If you want the rest of the game".

what do you mean "the rest of the game"? its a higher cost edition, not the rest of the game. are you trying to compare this to NOT getting Horizon PS5 version if you buy the PS4 version? what kind of BS is that...

To be fair I don't know if this game will have a $10 upgrade path but looking for the previous titles it is likely.
But the versions are priced different that is a fact.

look at the OP. it does not offer an upgrade path.

This whole thread is about how they explicitly are stating there is zero upgrade path. Their messaging is just this bad that everyone is confused on multiple different levels.
Casual consumers are literally going to buy the game and find out after the fact that there is no upgrade available. Even enthusiast gamers on here can't understand their policy.

Read the quote a few posts above from Jim himself.

The upgrade path only releases when the game releases... that already happened with others games.
The quote says exactly what I said lol

Its not literally the worst example. Your missing out on quite a bit without that.
The whole point and why I quoted was pricing. Even MS charges premium pricing and that's the point

Different Prices for special editions ... not for the same game.
Your trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill, your not even on the same length of what this conversation is about just clutching at straws.

No confuse at all.
The FAQ is talking about Dual entitlement... to have both versions.
The upgrade path... you have the PS4 version, pay $10 and lose the PS4 version and after that you can only download the PS5 version... Sony didn't explain or talk about the $10 upgrade but when games get released it is there.
Of course it could not be the case of this game but that is how it worked with previous games.

There's always some catch when it comes to Sony, but as long as core fans continue to accept these decisions and don't rationally disagree/call them out, they will simply continue to do them.
Taking these moments to do stupid whataboutisms WRT Microsoft or Nintendo isn't going to give Sony's upper brass pause to potentially reconsider questionable business practices. If anything it'll just make them chuckle while finding ways to implement more.

So $10 to change settings?
I guess it's easier or something.
Edit: Nevermind.

the fact you think I need to articulate something so clearly stated says a lot.

Every generation the market leader has to do some form of dumb shit. Sony is just following the trend. This is fucking stoooooopid!

The worst is the fact they said Its a "HUGE" feature they didnt charge for ... so they contemplated charging for Photo Mode

You're complaining about no upgrade path. He's saying the upgrade path should be available at launch like they've done previously
Not sure what you're struggling with here. That's why you need to articulate

so you also are willfully ignoring the fact that they have told you there is no upgrade path? they made a clear point to let you know with GoT that you could upgrade by paying the difference, why would they not here?
