Jason Schreier (Kotaku Splitscreen) : "Sony will have PS5 only titles at launch"
- Thread starter Dust
- Start date
Complete edition with next-gen improvements (including eventual dlc) of TLoU II is given. Maybe shortly after PS5 launch.
Why would they be cross-gen? They're PS4 games. PS5 will have its own games when they're announced including major IP and big budget games, which they haven't announced.
There can be other games that are exclusive?
Who's saying they won't have cross gen games?
Talk about market reach. PS4 has a 106m base and rising, they will reach a similar number in PS5. They are also expanding their reach with streaming services. I don't think Xbox One has even scraped 50m. Microsoft is not in a position to be rewarded in a unique manner, just because their future games are also last-gen games.
I am all for MS exploring new approaches, in the last few years it has given us GamePass.
MS now is less about selling you a console and more about selling you a service.
They both rely heavily on hardware sales. If people arent buying xboxes they arent buying software. Both will be pushing services on other platforms too.
I don't understand how it wouldn't be cross gen if it also released on PS4 and is not back comparable.
But Sony could have a surprise, but that's just a guess.
I feel if a game comes out on both PS4 and PS5 it's cross gen.
Huh what kind of console do you have? Because no one suppored consoles late like Sony with PS2, PS3 and now PS4.
Nope. Sony look at the past with what worked and keep doing the same and thats ok.
Microsoft look towards the future by building up their ecosystem across multiple platforms, Pc being the biggest and Gamepass is another beast in the making.
The Xbox x might not beat the ps5 in hardware sales but it might in software sales
Which, I suppose, is really what the mission statement of XBox has always been from the start. Getting the service into homes above anything else.
MS showed us the future of network services with XBL, now Sony is reaping the profit with PS+. It doesn't matter who did it first, it matters who can appeal to the mainstream when the mass comes.
This is great news. I personally need exclusive games that aren't possible on current consoles as a reason to upgrade at launch.
I have to wonder if there's any point in a cheaper next gen Xbox below the Series X when you consider the Xbox One X will play games aimed at a Jaguar/1.3tflop base at dynamic 4k anyway.
The Series X will obviously play the same games at native 4k/60fps but it's going to be a very tough sell to anyone over a couple of million hardcore fans considering it will more than likely be $500.

They're not even trying to -sell- software. They're all in on a subscription service at this point.
Who's to say that the games won't be updated for PS5 for free?
They already showcased Spider Man and GT Sport on PS5 with improvements so they are already halfway there.
The game is a meme at this point, but I'll absolutely play through a third outing with Knack.
Yep. Ever since Microsoft started putting their games on PC with the Play Anywhere program it really has been all about that. Making their ecosystem larger and stretch out to as many devices as possible. It is a different strategy. If people dislike that strategy then they don't understand that Microsoft's and the Xbox's teams goal is way different from Sony's.
Exactly. You are a platform holder. It's your job to make the best graphics and push the hardware to its max. Not "well, we still have to support launch ps4 9 years later" lol.
No thank you.
Maybe some smaller games here and there.
Backwards compatibility is NOT a cross-gen game. A cross-gen game will be something like Assassins Creed Black Flag.
They'll probably just play better on PS5 like if you play those games on a PS4 Pro.
Glad to have both companies taking different approaches. As a consumer I love options, and I won't limit myself unless one of these is just unreasonable. Consoles aren't that expensive considering what you get out of them.
The PS5 has BC for PS4 - such an edition is a waste of resources. Remasters were prominent this generation because the PS4/X1 were the first consoles on an x86 architecture. They died down as most of the profitable franchises moved over. This is not going to be the case this upcoming generation.
Expect more support patches for games that came out on PS4/X1 having to now run on PS5/XSX. Especially for live or service titles. Not as many as one would hope for at launch, but tons will get it within the first year.
But looking at it like that, how can it beat it at software sales if systems need things to move for people to buy them? I like how a majority of people on resetera think Sony's not competing. But they are they do have their own services which are growing and those people who bought a PS4 will transition to PS5
I'm very happy with this on both fronts. I always have bought PS first so now I can with out feeling blocked on playing MS newer titles on my X1X (can't wait for Halo Infinite).
My only fear with this situation is that games that also play on the Xbox family will be limited by trying to maintain playability on the OG Xbox One. My theory is that third party will drop last gen support faster or drop the Xbox One family support before PS4, unless MS enforce it to games that play on XSX.
It will certainly be very interesting how the general public perceive both strikingly different strategies.
I for one couldn't be happier for new hardware this year.

We already know about one: Godfall (it looks fine)
I wonder how good the PS5 launch lineup will be

But in the No Xbox Exclusives for First Two Years thread, mad people were like "Sony Too!", trying to handwave away anyone that suggested differently. Even those that brought up that it was a new approach for Xbox themselves as they had Xbox One only exclusives at launch.
Anyways, I'm glad Sony seems to be taking a different approach. As many said before, I want to experience new games that wouldn't be possible on older tech. Cross-gen will happen. But as long as Sony mixes in PS5 exclusives, I'm excited.

Sure.
Doesn't change the fact that they are PS4 games first and foremost and will release before the PS5 launches.
If it's not a major title that sells systems, does it matter?
Yeah I get that, but if Last of Us 2 is released next year for both PS4 and PS5 and the only difference is detail/frame rate/resolution does that not make it cross gen?
