The backlash on Era doesnt seem to exist much elsewhere. The cross-gen news is being received well by practically every PS4 owner I know.
2020 in general has been awful. I would hope the messaging would be better too. Sony is a strange company in many ways, I love their consoles, but they are weird at times.It is kinda sad to see that sony still doesn't get better at messaging.
I already said after the PS5 deep dive with Cerny that they have to work on it.
The first blogpost about BC was wrong, then the updated post about BC was still confusing, and then came silence.
And now they mess up the cross gen and console exclusive messaging.
I hope that is something that can change, but somehow it seems to be a bigger problem in the higher ranks.
Yep even in other hardcore places .
That is expected to tell the truth people don't have to rush and upgrade to play 2 of the biggest games .
Spider-Man and Sackboy were the two that I was surprised but understood why. MM is Spider-Man PS4 at its core. Sackboy ain't pushing the PS5.What I've been hearing for a while was that Miles, Sackboy, and Horizon are cross-gen, and Demon's, Ratchet, and GoW2 are PS5 only.
Bad info is always a possibility, but since everything else was basically confirmed yesterday, I find it hard to believe that GoW2 is the outlier.
Just wanted to clarify that.
I can not believe the price of ps5 in my country, it is much more expensive than the xbox series x about 20 dollars with the version without disk and almost 150 more for the version with disk.
I no longer know whether to buy, the difference is too much.
Oh. There's no real backlash on anything else outside Era. Keighley took a poll on twitter and the response was overwhelmingly positive.

I'm fine with Sackboy and Spider-Man being cross-gen, but come on Horizon 2 and (possibly) God of War 2? I was hoping those would be full fledged next gen games.
That would be a solid spread. Thanks for the info!What I've been hearing for a while was that Miles, Sackboy, and Horizon are cross-gen, and Demon's, Ratchet, and GoW2 are PS5 only.

We shouldn't need forum insiders to tell us what platforms a game is launching on just like we shouldn't need Geoff Keighley to tell us when PS5 pre-orders are starting. Sony's communication is a god damn problem, pure and simple.
Yeah and that is basically what the official PR says tooWhat I've been hearing for a while was that Miles, Sackboy, and Horizon are cross-gen, and Demon's, Ratchet, and GoW2 are PS5 only.

To support the PlayStation®4 community as they transition to the next generation when they're ready, SIE will launch PS4™ versions of a few exclusive titles: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Sackboy A Big Adventure, and Horizon Forbidden West. While these three games were designed to take advantage of PS5 and its unique next-gen features like the ultra-high speed SSD and DualSense controller, PS4 owners will also be able to enjoy these experiences when they launch
Yeah I believe that too. Two launch games and a big 2021 title is enough for PS4.If there were going to be more PS4 versions they would have announced it here. I fully believe that this is it.
I do think that's the biggest head turner. I think everyone assumed Horizon would be a PS5 exclusive to make the most of it's new power.HFW had me shock to tell the truth but it make sense when it think about .
Still really disappoint with that .
Wishful thinking for what though? They're doing exactly what their fans want. ResetERA is an outlier.
Are you talking about the euro pricing or something cuz thats probably the one thing people generally arent thrilled about

Yes... BUT THEY ARE ALSO LYING MONSTERS!!!!

In some ways though it does make sense in that, although it sold amazingly, it is a new IP with a new heroine so its a good way to try and further build up its fan base. A lot of PS4's have been sold since its release.
Indies games says hi.You're not gonna see gameplay innovations and all that stuff in a game which isn't full priced.
You have to put the stand in a specific position (because of the shape of the console) and "lay down" the console on it. That's why the stand have a different shape between DE and DD. The DD PS5 need a triangle shape.

Was this during the FoG event or somewhere else?Yeah, I think some are missing this is actually why some of us are upset on the crossgen news. They flatout called Horizon and Miles PS5 exclusive 3 months ago. If they want to make crossgen games, it's not unreasonable to ask them to be upfront about it.
agree. however horizon started dev 3 years ago when ps5 was paper specs. so if it was ps5 exclusive it was going to be a ps4 port as most work was made based on ps4.
gow i expected it 2022 giving it time to be on ps5. it could be crossgen it could be ps5 only if late 2021. we will see... i prefer it to be ps5 only nextx holiday or 2022.
its good that ps4 has 2 sony games this holiday and a big one next year along with multis and f2p games. big install base is active ofcourse and makes money for sony....
by the end of 2021 ps5 can be around 20mil and even multis will transition to next gen from 2022
How do you come to that conclusion? God of War is essentially a 30-40 hour Uncharted Game. Everyone was shocked when the 2021 Release Window dropped.Horizon Forbidden West is a huge open-world Action-RPG (kinda). Takes a little bit longer than a God of War game.
And then there is the fact that Guerrilla Games is twice as big as Sony Santa Monica Studio. Should be enough time, when both projects started as PS4 games / on PS4 dev kits.

Yep it feels like a good thing but people are mad because Sony hid the PS4 versions for months. Also Horizon being held back by PS4 limits does hurt a bit, but hopefully its fully designed for PS5 first then just nerfed to run okay on PS4.The Horizon 2/Miles situation feels basically like the Gran Turismo 6 of the new gen launch, except Sony learned their lesson and made the games cross gen.
Same with Sackboy, won't suffer the fate of Puppeteer.
Not sure what all the hoopla is about. They have both cross gen and next gen exclusive game ready for launch, day 1.
God of War coming out in 2021 feels kinda rushed, so I could see it being cross-gen, I hope i'm wrong though.

In Italy we have been paying 74,99 as official retail price since 2013.Yeah I see that then. I'm not crazy about the Canadian prices but Europeans are getting hit hard. Easily the ACTUAL worst news from yesterday

You might've answered this before so sorry for asking again: is Square's upcoming release lineup going to be in this order, XVI, Athia, 7R-2?

Cory's on record though saying the 2nd games dev wont take as long. No one who was paying attention should be surprised by a 2021 target date. The only reason it feels unrealistic is because of COVID.
Sony always believed in generations and still made cross-gen games in the past.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Sony will push PS5 exclusive games from day one to convince people to transition to PS5. Demon's Souls, Destruction Allstars, Ratchet & Clank and God of War 2 is probably one of the best first year of next gen exclusives ever.
They are believing in generations just like Jim Ryan said otherwise they would have 0 first party next gent exclusives games.
Microsoft doesn't plan to release a next gen exclusive for the first 1-2 years, that's a completly different strategy, even with HFW being cross-gren.
