lol, that's what I was thinking. Sure the devs will love the incoming angry tweets
Or you can look no further to this very thread... sigh
It was clear this was the case when Insomniac confirmed that the saves from Miles would transfer across versions. Glad to see it confirmed to be a developer issue.
Pretty poor from Yakuza and Dirt devs honestly.

It's not the best option, but there IS an option, people thought It was Impossible to do so, but It is not the case.
I mean it would be nice if they explained why some are not possible?
Sackboy is receiving a patch that makes the save compatible, so why can't Yakuza? I am not upset at any devs, but I'd like to know the reason.

Sounds like the dev need to do some extra work since that's not the case.
So even Sony couldn't get it in time for the launch of one of their titles?
with Xbox, it's as simple as supporting smart delivery.
reads to me like a PR piece trying to shift responsibility away from themselves.

Is a PS5 version confirmed? If it doesn't have cross-save I'll just play the PS4 version via BC. Ain't no way in hell a gacha game shouldn't be cross-save considering the amount of money people throw at these things.
I find the concept of a PS4 version and a PS5 version wild....for all these sorts of titles, surely it's exactly the same game with better graphics and load times....the structure and the content of the save file must surely be identical!?
Maybe there's some wierdness in writing to it and reading from it if the access is so fat!?

Developers: Implement cross-save on Xbox but not on Playstation
Playstation: Shifts blame onto developers despite being the only common factor between games like Yakuza, Dirt 5 and Maneater
Era: Clearly this is the fault of lazy devs! They need to explain themselves and step the fuck up!
Honestly the complete and sheer denial that Sony has any problems with their own databases is so frustrating. Do people seriously think that developers would intentionally harm their own sales potential and anger fans by not including cross-save on PS5 if implementing cross-save on PS5 were easy and cost-effective?

This matches what Lance said 5 days ago.
Yup. Developers choosing not to implement this should explain why so consumers can make an informed decision regarding what/when to purchase.
"Sackboy: A Big Adventure also will support game save transfers from PS4 to PS5 in an update that will be delivered shortly after the release of the game."
so, they still have weeks till release but can´t provide this day one? seems like it isn´t that easy to do when even first party games deliver cross save features after launch.

If he's right and Sony's provided devs with everything they'd need to make saves compatible, what more needs to be said? If developers choose not to, that's on them.This matches what Lance said 5 days ago.
So I expect CDPR to make use of these tools to make your Cyberpunk save from PS4 work on PS5.
on the other hand, I don't expect SEGA to do this with Yakuza, which is a bummer.
But at least we now know it's 100% up to the developer.

He's the person who gave us 60fps Bloodborne and has some insider connections.
This has always been the case for cross save its no diff now that's the crazy part lol
Yep people read to much into developer decision and not into the little glaring detail even Sony devs don't have it working day one.
Please refrain from creating reaction threads. For now this can be discussed in the announcement thread.
