Great point! CD Projekt Red truly understands the old adage "How much money is enough?".
I think Ubi will just because Siege. They'll wanna keep it's momentum going and they've already talked a little about their next gen plans for it in particular. I think it's one of those you are all in or not at all type things. Though I don't think they'll next-gen enhance many of their games either.
They will use it for their service games - or single player games that still have DLC planned.
The Last of Us Remastered was released over 13 months after the initial release on PS3. Following the PS4 version, one week later the last piece of DLC content was released (which was for MP). No further DLC was released for either version. I consider this a port.
How is this shitty spin? the fuck do you think I said? lol, there are so many "WHY DIDNT THEY SAY PS5 TOO" posts in this thread, it's dumb, it'll almost surely happen there too. It's as you said - MS didn't moneyhat them NO)T to say PS5, it's simply not their place to do so to begin with, nor is it the place to do so on an Xbox tweet.
no it isn't at launch last gen, it was possible to upgrade xbox 360 to xbox one and ps3 to ps4 games. I know for sure Ubisoft, Activision both did that.
Sony has already announced PS5.
Yeah their wording isn't perfect since they really just mean in each brand ecosystem
Or rather it's related to the Smart Delivery feature announced by Xbox today.
Definitely is clear that Sony has to make sure investors don't see them lose the advantage they have in sales ratio when PS5 details announce. They are reacting to Xbox to make their final choices and announcements as safe as possible.
Why would they do that if it's the same game?
Activision did it last gen, heck I think EA did as well. So there is a big chance that it will still happen.
There's likely many things from policy to final price they can tweak. They can easily still decide what features to throw into the pipeline will be. It's not crazy to think they'll add "Smart Ownership coming soon" to their list of things to focus on if they weren't ready yet considering they have yet to announce this being their policy like MS has for their options and own games.
This isn't required by Microsoft. It will be very easy for a dev like Square to make a new SKU of The Avengers for next gen as a "Game of the Year Enhanced Edition" with DLC and new higher fidelity graphical features. But if they're kind they'll use Smart Delivery since not using it will be trashy.
I feel like they've set an expectation with Pro and X patches though. With the PS5 being backwards compatible, and patches being normal to upgrade games across consoles now (albeit mid-gen console upgrades) they'd be foolish to try and resell the same games across generations. And more to the point, and the main reason I'm confused, is I would expect this to be a publisher decision more than a console manufacturer decision. I can't ever see Sony refusing to allow upgrade patches. I can see publishers like Rockstar and Bethesda preferring to sell "brand new" raytraced versions of GTAV and Skyrim though. So I feel like it's great news to see Microsoft forbidding the resale of the same game across generations, but odd that CDPR is specifically mentioning Xbox as a brand advantage in this case. Simply because I can't ever see Sony setting a rule that says "no patches, ever", and it's odd to imagine a scenario where CDPR only offers this to one group of gamers (as that would suggest they hate the idea of upgrade patches but Microsoft is forcing them to do this for Xbox).
