With PS5 On The Way, Sony's Big First-Party Games Still Releasing On PS4

Ps4 was awesome. The psvr was the wii of this gen. Not as popular but the next step towards the future.

WUTTTT, they are acting like this is a big deal? It should be a given using the same game infrastructure. If you can have cross-platform gaming, cross-gen gaming should be a walk in the park. Com'on Sony, you can do better. How about they stop the evil practice of adding PS1-PS3 titles on PSNow & not giving those titles for free to the people who bought them on the PS3. They make it so that you can no longer buy those games on their store and are forced to play them on PSNow, this is how you share your games....through PSNow!!!! Microsoft is giving gamers backward compatible games for free & evil Sony is literally wiping the games from their store & not even making it so that they can even buy them again...very anti-consumerism if you ask me!

so basically sony won't be at e3, tlou 2 is finished, and really nearly finished, but they need to hire some more people before they can start to finish, they talk about backwards compatibility like they're doing the customer a faver when infact you'd have to be braindead to not include it.

just seems to me like sony shot it's load and by the time these games are out the PS5 will be here. kinda throws a spanner in my plans to pick up a Pro. Balls in your court Kojima.

Would be pretty dumb to switch to a console that just came out and ignore the now 100 million or so people that own a PS4. And looking as the PS5 will be backwards compatible by default due to a similar architecture, all it would require are some graphical upgrades and adjustments to take advantage of the PS5's power.

Im only worried about the SSD capacity, seeing the mess devs make in this gen with all the "one day patch" thing (and subsequent patches), we could end with a console with a limited retro capability, how many PS4 games could need the 50gb space to work properly in the PS5? I bet the 100%, we all know that the 1tb disc isn't enough ( I had to buy a 2tb disc for my PS4 and now is full) so the PS5 will need a great SSD capacity, just to work as a decent retro console.

Nor sure what to think about that. Is he really saying that they won't release any game pushing the Ps5 for the first two years (assuming it launches next year)? Surely that can't be right. If so generations are dead, but Sony has stated before that they are not. They have to release some power showcases.

Like god of war 2 on PS2, and it was one of the best games in 2007.

Guess better wait for PS5, I own Nintendo Switch currently, want to play some PS4 games.

I'm actually really looking forward to playing some of my current games off the PS5's SSD. That alone could improve aspects of many of them quite a bit.

Let's be real. They will release cross gen, as with any game that releases near the launch of the PS5. Buy it now and double dip later. Or just wait for PS5 and get the better version.

Umm, why does this even need to be considered? PS5 has PS4 backward compat, of course they are going to develop it for PS4 also. There's no reason anyone sane in the head would do otherwise.

So, you're saying they're still releasing games on the system that is out and not making games exclusively for the system that isn't yet? Wow, no wonder the execs at Sony are at the top of the food chain there with impressive decision making like that.

The Xbox one X, lol. When did that come out, the Xbox one 900p console still works perfectly.

That's great, but this is one occasion where I'm perfectly happy to get a next gen console sooner rather than later. Just like the end of last gen, we're starting to see games that crush current consoles, even the Pro and XX, except this time we're expected to endure it for like 3 years instead of the one year that last gen endured.

If devs were actually concerned about optimizing their games and making them look great without melting consoles, it would be fine, but they're generally not, so I'd rather have that PS5.

I wonder if they will do an upgrade path for these games if you buy the PS4 version first?
