Found the armchair developer in this topicAll this effort to upgrade the engine was a part of development process of "Miles Morales" spin-off.
It cost them close to nothing to port it over to the base game. Why not reward your loyal customers and offer it for free?
I'm a software developer and I own a company that specializes in facilities and building management applications. I'm not a game dev.Found the armchair developer in this topic
Gears and FH is mini upgrade.pathetic, lets see how much its actually improved. games like gears5 and horizon 4 are also getting substantial improvements but its for free
whats worse is you cant even buy it separately lol whats that about, just make it digital only.
Kotaku reached out to Sony about this. Games journalism actually doing some work. GoW next please.
Sony Confirms There's No Free PS5 Upgrade For PS4 Spider-Man Players
There are still a lot of questions surrounding Spider-Man on PlayStation 5. The good news? We have answers. The bad news? Well, the answers themselves.kotaku.com
I feel like this is all on marketing. It seems like this isnt a straight 4k 60 fps port of spiderman. They are overhauling graphics with new character models, better hair, new texutres for buildings, ray tracing, and a bunch of other stuff that will also be in Miles. I am perfectly fine with this being a $20 new SKU.
However, there are a lot of issues with how Sony has gone about marketing this:
1) We havent seen any footage, no one really knows what this remaster looks like.
2) There is no separate SKU. You have to buy the $70 spiderman MM version to be able to play this.
3) We dont know what upgrades current gen versions are getting on PS5. Is the PS5 boost mode going to enable 4k 60 fps via BC?
4) We also dont know if Insomniac intends to release a PS5 patch for the existing PS4 version of the game in case PS5 boost mode isnt anything special.
There are so many dumb moves here by Sony its mind boggling to think that their most popular exclusive of current gen is being treated this way. Had Sony announced PS5 patches for TLOU2, Ghosts and other pS4 exclusives, this wouldnt be as big of a deal.
Gears and FH is mini upgrade.
They just took the assets from pc version, almost no development time
Dont compare this low effort with Spider-Man

Yes, i still remember when microsoft gift us gears of war remaster to the Xbox 360 versión buyers.. Oh WaitIt's free, with more substantial upgrades than Spider Man, and they're showing off comparison shots now.
100 fps, improved textures, PC ultra settings, volumetric fog and particle increase, faster load times.
.Free Gears 5 Xbox Series X Upgrade for Gears 5 Owners; Features Vastly Improved Visuals, Extreme Fast Loading Times and Framerates over 100FPS
Microsoft has announced that a free Gears 5 Xbox Series X Upgrade will be available for those who own the game on Xbox One.wccftech.com
It just dawned on me why this all sounds so familiar. Check this out.What a fucking joke. MS are doing it right.
and an extra fucking LOL for people defending this
They've commented on why.
Sony is ignoring all the good things that MS is doing.... That's scary.
That's because Sony doesn't NEED to do with Microsoft is doing. They've built up enough consumer trust and accolades that they can pretty much do what they want. It's kind of like how XBOX was before the current generation. They got cocky and are now playing catch up.
That doesn't mean Sony won't do good things in the future, but I'd wouldn't say Sony is stumbling out the gate. I think they're just confident in their approach and I'm sure as hell not see any reason why Sony should reverse course right now.
Fixed it for youThat's because Sony doesn't NEED to do with Microsoft is doing. They've built up enough FANBOYS that will fight hard for them they can pretty much do what they want. It's kind of like how XBOX was before the current generation. They got cocky and are now playing catch up.

And Gears 5, and Ori 2, and probably many other like Halo MCC ect to take advantage of the new hardware.Give me a Ghost of Tsushima upgrade.
Also : Reminder Xbox owners are getting a Forza Horzion upgrade... A game that was released the Christmas before the last one.
Give me a break, Sony.
They've commented on why.
there is no what ifs. they literally just said that its not getting a standalone increase.What's mind boggling is that people like you just dont wait for a few days, after launch for impressions instead would rather complain about what ifs now. The game isn't some kind of scarce resource that you will miss out on if you wait.
Sony being little greedy here, what the fck are they thinking?
Witcher 3 is getting a free next gen patch and cyberpunk also..I totally understand this, if it were a new game and had just come out yeah offer a free upgrade but it's a 2 year old game that got a ton of work, we got what we paid for 2 years ago and asking $20 for an upgraded version is totally fine, it's not like you can't play the version you already own through BC. It's also a licensed character so I'm sure that Marvel wants a cut as well.

Do we now have your permission to discuss this news?
1) We havent seen any footage, no one really knows what this remaster looks like.
3) We dont know what upgrades current gen versions are getting on PS5. Is the PS5 boost mode going to enable 4k 60 fps via BC?
4) We also dont know if Insomniac intends to release a PS5 patch for the existing PS4 version of the game in case PS5 boost mode isnt anything special.
Spiderman release date - September 7, 2018MS is in a position where they need to do this for free because literally all they've got at this point are old games and AAs at the moment. It will be better down the road now obviously but 95% of the reason to get a series x as of this moment is to play old games better.
They're not getting a new Series X version of FH4 really. They get already existing FH4 at higher resolution and framerate with some graphics settings turned up, that's it.Give me a Ghost of Tsushima upgrade.
Also : Reminder Xbox owners are getting a Forza Horzion upgrade... A game that was released the Christmas before the last one.
Give me a break, Sony.
I mean the fact that you are getting triggered by an OP that is literally ok with paying for this remaster because I brought up some other concerns is far more concerning.These aren't what if's that you're complaining about?
And much of that work wasn't already being done for Miles Morales? They are in the same city. There is a reason MM isn't a full priced game.
Gears and FH is mini upgrade.
They just took the assets from pc version, almost no development time
Dont compare this low effort with Spider-Man
They kind of do need to. Game Pass is gonna destroy them and the Playstation is no longer the console for multiplats. All they have are their exclusives which don't even approach the sales of popular multiplat titles.
Fixed it for you
That's why this is scary.
Last time that Sony didn't pay attention to the competition the Ps3 was released....
I rather have the Sony from the early Ps4 than the early PS3 one.
See this is what I'm talking about.
Replace the word Sony with Nintendo in here and it reads like any random Nintendo fan rationale for the last 15 years. Excuses, excuses. Sad.
