Jason Schreier (Kotaku Splitscreen) : "Sony will have PS5 only titles at launch"

Well I expect early next gen ps5 exclusives to have a 1 second fade to black or something. As the gen continues, the loading might increase, or not since engines will be more optimized to use the SSD more properly. Who knows, whatever it will be I'm happy for every second shaved off.
Honestly I like that Microsoft and Sony are approaching next gen differently. Gives me options.
Am I crazy or was this never actually a thing? I swear I remember it being a short lived rumor because we have proof Sony demonstrated Spider-Man load time improvements on PS5. I mean it was negligible sure, but if a PS4 game has been shown to still have load times then PS5 games absolutely will.
Who's bitching? I'm just pointing out the potential battle Microsoft could have with this no next gen exclusive approach. Calm down.
Well yeah, but that person said launch. I'd say that makes the last time exclusives were the best launch games was Wii U?
Year 1, yeah Switch definitely is the answer here.
If there is a loading screen of some kind, your going to see it for like a second.
Yea, im not just talking like release day of the console, Im talking within the first couple months. Have to remember it doesn't release on same day for all countries.
So I try to give 3-4 month as in"Launch". Thats just me though.
Yes they can? How exactly are backwards compatibility, 3rd party cross-gen games and 1st party next-gen only games incompatible?
PS4 (and maybe some of the previous generations as well) games will run on PS5 with EA, Activision, Ubisoft, 2K etc. releasing cross-gen PS4/XB1/PS5/XSX games for the first 1-2 years while Sony will release PS5-only games immediately..
It's about best at the time. Ryse and Forza 5 was the best at that time. You get the sense that those games were intended to be played on Xbox One.
The difference between "PS5 will only be able to play PS5 only games" and "PS5 will have PS5 only games at launch" is severe.
Damn skippy! The last dragon ball game I got on PSX was ultimate battle 22!
Wheres my kakarot Huh bandai??
So if Halo Infinite and next gen Forza look as good or better than what Sony has at launch for PS5, but they are also available on Xbox One, what will be the consensus. Because if that's the case, it means PS5 exclusives will be exclusive just for the sake of it.
It is. The whole thing is unnecessary if you only work with next gen in mind. You have to have it for current gen console to stream assets which is the problem. Next gen is bogged down by current gen limits.
I don't really know where people stand now days with that. I just know people have been running super wild with that PS5 "magic sauce" SSD stuff. Seen even claims that it will make PC SSDs and M.2s look pathetic.
Without data to back it up.
So does Forza 5. It was my favorite launch game. My jaw dropped when I saw it in GameStop.
Great news. Fuck this trend MS wants to make. Im willing to pay up to $700 for a top console that will give me graphics and gameplay I couldn't experience this generation on console, I want what I pay for.
People were feeling pretty outraged in that other thread because this behavior of Sony was being twisted to say it's "anti-consumer"... I don't even know what to say about that thread...
Anyways, Im glad Sony is sticking to common sense and doing what has always been done. Making graphics that wont be held back by the trash Jaguar CPUs that has been the bottleneck day 1 this generation.
What's to stop MS from having something like this for Xbox One games and simply having a door open to the next loaded environment for the Xbox Series X?
I think being able to play games on more platforms is a good thing as long as it doesn't make it more difficult for the developers, so I'm fine with Microsoft's approach.
But the whole idea that it's anti consumerism to release a next gen only game is just stupid. Since when are we entitled to be able to play every game everywhere? There's many reasons for a developer to just develop for next gen, be it doing things with gameplay that only can be done thanks to the better cpu or ssd, or saving development time because they don't have to work around old tech limitations. Having to have more systems in mind for a release will always be more of a hassle then just targeting one platform.
If you prefer one approach more then the other, fine. Others might not, so stop being a dick about it.
Between threads like this and the last few weeks of passive aggressive bullshit in the next-gen thread. I think I need a break from this forum. How hard can it be to discuss different consoles and strategies without picking sides and behave like entitled little kids?

Of course PS4 isn't going away. Atlus still has to release Persona 6 in 2024 for PS4 and PS5. For the most part most support will disappear after year one, but things like that will happen down the line so it'll continue selling.
Sony will have PS5-only titles =/= Sony will only have PS5-only titles.
Death Stranding has won the best graphics and placed higher from Digital Foundry, NX gamer, gameranx than Gears 5 despite being a PS exclusive on a less powerful system.
Safe to say Sony's engine carried to next gen will look better than ever, especially without the constraint of PS4.
Well, no, it would mean Sony want to make exclusive software drive hardware sales, and get people to adopt PS5 more quickly as a result.
Your logic doesn't really make sense, although I do agree that people are being kinda stupid about this whole thing. There will be Xbox One Series X games that blow minds at launch, the fear mongering is just weird.
When they demonstrate the capabilities In a few months the things you thought you know about what these systems can do will be crystal clear. This held back thing is insane, especially if you know anything about PC development.
To be honest, I can absolutely see some games going for a 1 second fade to black because the actual loading screen might be too fast an jarring.
There is a level in Control with 2 teleportation points very close to each other and when used, the character just plops where you clicked. In the blink of an eye she is standing somewhere else. It's so weird that it caught me off guard and I had to share it with friends.
If they really have this ready at launch and it's a PS5 exclusive good god they're going to dominate first year sales.
Over time, yes as previous gens reach EOL.
Specifically last gen however. Multiplats (bf4/cod ghosts) sold more on 360/PS3 at the time of their their release.
PSVR was already confirmed forward compatible. I'm sure there will be a break but it won't be for a couple years until when the new headset comes out.
And hey, that's fine. As I don't own a Pro I'm looking forward to the increased res and such the PS5 will bring to my v1 headset.
This makes no sense when Sony just sold 1.1 billion units of software and made record profits off of their digital sales and services?
I'm not sure why the timeframe would change anything. It's the problem with generalizations like that post had.
What I wrote earlier. Think of it as a nice gradual transition into next gen that MS is providing for their users. Not a complete cutoff. Most games bought at launch are third party cross gen titles anyway (which I really don't hear complaints about) but imagine if third parties decided to follow what some want here and develop next gen only titles once the new consoles launch. It would be kind of stupid to be quite honest.
