@Thrillho Miles Morales seemed to be OK though wasn't it? But I get your point, Dragon Age Inquisition I seem to remember being unplayable on PS3/X360.
I think the big difference this time around is that ps4 and ps5 are similar in architecture, so these things should be less problematic.
But yeah, I think the gap between gens isn’t as great and it’s more the fancy things like ray tracing, adaptive triggers, haptic feedback etc now (as well as those rapid load times of course). All things you won’t miss on PS4 if you’ve not experienced it!
@Octane I doubt it, but would love to be proven wrong. Speaking of development starting on one console and finishing on another, 😂 The Last Guardian is a poster child for that!
I’m a big fan of Ueda’s work, so I hope we see something. There’s been radio silence on the whole project since that cryptic image 2-3 years ago that it makes me wonder if it’s even still in development.
On the subject of cross gen games, I do think the ire of the masses is silly, but I think Cuberpunk 2077 just fueled the fire to the whole idea of making things work on both systems. But I think one of the commenters on the article make a good point that the issue there was largely one of CD Project project management being poor, rather than it being a hardware issue per se. Obviously first part Sony development is going to have a much better grip on PS4 functionality during development, rather than a third party developer whose chiefly building things with tunnel vision for PC.
But yeah, the only thing that could make things worse is if the next article we see is titled “Leaks confirm that Horizon Forbidden West now delayed due to Guerrilla working to make game run stable on base PS4” like the Cyberpunk fiasco was.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Thing is, CP77 doesn't even have PS5/XSX versions yet. They made last-gen version run fine (I mostly mean frame rates here, obviously the game had other problems) on new consoles but at visual settings far from what the hardware should be capable of. It's a PC games with poor console ports.
Unfortunately you're probably right and many people see this as a similar situation but it's actually very different.
Btw, I like what I'm hearing about how HFW utilizes PS5 hardware. Sure, there won't be anything in the core game design that couldn't be done on PS4 (like in R&C) but there seems to be a ton of features, which might not make it a different game but will definitely add to the experience in cool ways (talking 'bout ray-traced audio, different underwater rendering and stuff).
@Voltan I’m excited to feel the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers as well, which I’m sure will be tuned to the max. I didn’t realize how much I missed them until playing the Subnautica PS5 version this past week and suddenly realizing, “Hey, this game has absolutely no DualSense features.” It makes the game feel a little bland, imo, which I know isn’t necessarily a popular opinion since not everyone likes the tactile minutiae of the new controller. Subnautica would have been a perfect environment to use them, to feel the water resistance and I fully expect Aloy’s adventure to include unique sensory experience when she’s on land, in water, in the air, etc.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution ICO and SOTC were delivered in time though. Not sure if that was solely an Ueda problem, or it was more complicated than that. Anyway, the project is still very much alive. They shared this image earlier this year: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UNtdAxqzE73Erm7upQhUWZ.png They've been teasing it for a couple of years, and it's been in development since 2016 I guess..! It's time.
@Octane Ah, okay - I get it now. Well, that makes more sense. With 6 months left in the year, it would be hard to drop a 2021 release date out of nowhere. But at least that image is evidence of continued development
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Yeah exact same experience with Immortals Fenix Rising after playing Returnal. Even little things like when opening a chest there is nothing in Immortals, which I miss.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Jecht_Ultima Once I had some lamb tagine in a Moroccan restaurant and the lamb looked just like the Virgin Mary. It was a shame to eat it, but I was rather hungry.
@JohnnyShoulder everyone should know by now that Mc Donalds isn't real (fast) food . Its just so much freakish things that came to light about them but , hey , if people don't care and still lovin' it , more power to them . Live how you like .
edit - im not saying other fast food joints are any better but , mc donalds just has so much dirt.
@colonelkilgore How did you find the GoW games? Will you play Ascension? It's the only one of the original PS3 games that I didn't finish. I also played GoW 3 on PS4, Remastered version, just seeing Kratos go round killing all the gods was great fun, it was an ageing game but a classic nonetheless.
@TheBrandedSwordsman yeah better than I imagined mate. I always considered them button-mashers back when they were released but in order to complete all the Challenge of the Gods/Titans/Olympus etc you actually have to be quite technical, which I appreciate.
Yeah, I’ll definitely finish off the series (so Ascension and 3) as I just love GoW 2018 so much that I want the complete set of GoW platinums. I’ve also got Dante’s Inferno to play sometime after 3, which is very similar to the old style GoW games.
@colonelkilgore I tried Dante's Inferno, it is a clone, yeah, I didn't like it as much as the GoW games, so fell off that one - but I'm still playing through Biomutant now so it's all good, beat the first boss in that game the other day, moving onto a considerably harder one now. When do you reckon you'll get around to Biomutant? Given your huge backlog of games, 2025?🤣

@TheBrandedSwordsman 😅 yeah it’ll be a while sadly, I’m definitely gonna wait for the PS5 version to release... and then when it has I’ll ‘jimmy’ it into the calendar somewhere. What are your thoughts on the poor reviews Biomutant received... overly harsh or fair?
@colonelkilgore Definitely overly harsh, it isn't Dark Souls or even a Souls-like but it is decent RPG action. Think The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt-Lite, with furries.
