Good morning, PS Era. It's 8:25 AM CDT. I've been busy with my day job (yes, I do actually have a day job) the last few days, so I'm a little late making this post, but here goes.
This dude:
This dude has insight into Sony matters and has provided evidence to me verifying as such. Enough insight that he can hear the singing of the winter lanterns and view the lesser Amygdala. (This is just a Bloodborne joke. Not a hint at anything)
So yeah, he knows his stuff.
Carry on.

State of Play | Horizon Forbidden West Gameplay Reveal
Tune in from 9AM Pacific Time for a uniquely crafted countdown to the main event - starting at 2PM PT.Join Aloy as she braves the Forbidden West, a deadly fr...youtu.be
He mentioned the machine being very big and scary, so maybe we get to fight a larger version by the sea side lol
"Fortunately, we have product for people who don't want to play Horizon with Hero Lighting. It's called PS4".
Great news coming out for Horizon today :) I guess we never should have doubted the existence of a 60fps mode but it still feels damn good to have it confirmed

Nice. So, as expected, there will most likely be a summer event from Sony.

There is no way, The PS4 would choke. Literally lol.
The SSD future is already here. The full revolution will be the last 80% of this gen. LolForget business sense, Sony’s cross-gen U-turn is disappointing for PS5’s potential | VGC

Have they said anything about human enemy AI? Not only in Horizon, but in all Sony open world titles the enemy npc had horrible AI last gen, I assume because of the outdated CPU. I wonder if this is one of the things they could improve for the PS5 version?

At the end of the day, this article kinda captures how I feel. I was really looking forward to games feeling different from last gen, especially since so many of last gen's games were held back by obvious design contrivances to hide loads and avoid loading screens. I've never been bothered by loading screens myself unless they're extremely extremely long and intrusive (Bloodborne at launch, for example), so the endless quest to minimize them by instead shoving repetitive and distracting "in-gameplay" elements into games to mask loads honestly makes games worse rather than better for me.
Unfortunately, it looks like by and large, we're going to be waiting a long time to see that kind of paradigm shift and the only real benefit to next-gen at this time is going to be increased graphical fidelity, which I honestly just don't get any excitement out of anymore. I'm past the point where an increase in screen resolution or texture quality has any effect on me - I need clear, demonstrable improvements in game design, game flow and WORLD design to really pique my excitement.
Sony should have been clearer that A) it would take a long time for that kind of design shift to "kick in" and that B) cross-gen would be a regular part of life even for major Sony games, rather than repeatedly springing "actually this game is also getting a PS4 version" on players in blog posts long after using "PS5 exclusive" or "we believe in generations" as a marketing thing to get one over on Xbox.
Just be honest and be clear with what your intentions and goals are, instead of angling for a quick marketing "win" against your competition. Save yourselves and your fans the headaches and the drama. It's better for everybody in the long run.
There is a thunderbird in that, and the design hasn't changed, so it's not equipped to be mount like the SunWing.
I wouldn't rule Forbidden West having flying mounts because of PS4. Just Cause 4 has flying.
But it may cost a major dip in visual fidelity, pop-in or smooth frame-rate to accomplish that, and it would likely be slowed down to let the system catch up.

Or just have flying mounts as a PS5 exclusive feature lol
For balanced reasons, the IA on both console will be the same.
this says a lot Here. Again most of these games designs were decided in pre-production which probably was in 2017. but they are now adding a ton of shit that not possible like moss growth, new lighting etc.
anyone expecting massive gameplay changes in these games it's no different than last gen. It takes time.
They just replied and everything is good ! Hmm...
Still waiting for Sony to give me my Bloodborne on PS5 (GOTY). It's been more than a month... sigh
Thats good news for ps5 owners, instead of "just" letting the horse power of the ps5 do all the work (better FPS and resolution) they are trying to improve that version as much as possible.
I imagine that will be the same for GoW and GT where there will be differences between both version other then the brute force of ps5.
Yea simply one you grapple a flying mount and it opens the map, and then a flying cut scene. The other just allows you to fly and done.
I would just release Horizon Zero Dawn again on PS4 and hope no one would notice it's not a new game🤣The perfect crime.
I had to look it up and yea, they were also the user I talked with a few OTs back that mentioned GoW was planned for november and got delayed to spring (this was back in February) which lines up with Jason's comments about GoW's delay being made months ago.Just checked this user's post history and yeah, everything he said about GoW turned out true. Also he said this:

Again I'll keep saying this is where them having to have a native PS5 version once the fork it they can a shitload of stuff.
If the next couple of years is backlog ports and they have so far announced 1 port a year, you realize how long it would take for EVERY game to be ported?

Yup I'm ready for them to just drop it on folks in a later trailer. Like puddle gate lol 😂
You already have some of that with R&C but what works for R&C not going to work for all games and it will take time.
Also no system in history of console show what it can do in the early years aside from gfx .
To expect most games to really use the SSD fully in the first year or 2 was not going to happen.
We talking about 20 plus years of games design that people can throw out the window .
The gameplay reveal told most ppl that looked at it objectively that this was gonna be the case.
And like its been stated before....I expect the same conversation when the God of War PS5 version reveal drops...."how are they gonna run this on a PS4"
Taking full advantage of the PS5 is coming, just not with God of War, HFW or GT7.
About the flying mounts....I guess we could look at Spider-Man for that, it can still happen, but will just be built around the limitations of a mechanical HDD. Spider-Man can still swing, but it coulda been faster. If that makes it I cant see it being radically different from PS4 to PS5.
I'm still amazed we are still on the SSD talk and Rift Apart is coming out next week.....thats PS5 only...doing things that seem impossible on PS4 without making some changes to the game design.
Yeah, I think Microsoft does an amazing job with the kind of people who read ResetEra. The controlled leaks and their Twitter presence are all tailor-made to keep them in the conversation with the hardest of the hardcore. As I said previously, though, it's up for debate how much any of that actually matters.
And I will always point to these games starting pre-production at launch of the system, vs now with ALL the collective knowledge from all their studios of tricks and tips from PS4 for example the hand gliding mechanic didn't make it for the first game due to technical reasons but now it's there. That's just one example.
What they doing make sense we talking about 2 and 3 years old ports that selling for $50 \$40 when they $10 or $15 on PS.
I don't expect early or day 1 ports until console sales become less of a factor .

I recall someone felt having to ping before climbing affected gameplay, personally feel ping was to be used before engaging in a fight so you can gather info about enemies and environment.
I'm sure they'd be glad about this.
