Jim is treasure that keeps giving.
What a turn of events. While they showed good/great games, everything since that was clusterfuck.

I can get this but there wasn't anything they showed that didn't look like it could run on current gen outside a handful of games.Spencer and Microsoft never pretended otherwise. They correctly admitted that - like in all generations beforehand - the current consoles will still be supported well into the life cycles of the next generation.
Sony used that basic fact that should be known by all, and decided to market their console as "true next gen" to give the aura that the PS5 would truly be a leap forward in a way that completely inundated the current generation, but that comes with certain unattainable expectations. I guess the chickens had to come home to roost at some point.
Its funny. People were outraged and calling Sony anti consumer a few months back but now we find out they aren't being anti consumer at all, far from it, and people are still outraged.Uh what did he lie about? His quote doesn't mean first party will be cross gen for 3 to 4 years. People thought they were going to tell the whole Industry to stop suppoting PS4? That fucker still has a $99 price tag to crush holidays down the line.
Oh I know, that shit is gonna be announced within half a year of release.
Sony's messaging was irrefutably about generations while Microsoft took a heap of shit talking about cross gen here and various outlets (TechRadar article thread here was locked when this hypocrisy was highlighted a little while ago).
Sony bent the truth...
Seems like it.So are we cancelling the PS5 and Sony because they're handling the transition between systems like they have for every other generation of the past?
The PS3 was supported for over a decade, well after the PS4 launch. Same with the PS2. 10 years of PS4 support would wind down in about 2023. Don't get the controversy here.
They lied so much that they completely deflated my hype. Really... what the fuck...
Nobody is upset about that and you know it. People are upset that those games wont take full advantage of the PS5's hardware, this has been explained a million times already.Seems like it.
People are upset that other people will have access to games to. Too many whiny adults around here

i love cooking but wife hates it because i destroy all her nonstick pans.Cooking is fun and has lots of instant payoffs and can be used to impress dates.
Doubly so if you grow certain ingredients like onions or basil in your yard...
The games probably started development on the PS4. That's how game development works these days. It's a lengthy task.Nobody is upset about that and you know it. People are upset that those games wont take full advantage of the PS5's hardware, this has been explained a million times already.
This is how they've always done generations."We believe in generations"
"We want to transition players from PS4 to PS5 at an unprecedented pace"
"PS4 support for 4 more years"
What a crock of shit.
TIL gamers aren't allowed to enjoy Demon's Souls, R&C, RE8, FFXVI, Deathloop and all the other next gen only games because a couple of the big games Sony announced are cross-gen.Paraphrasing but:
"We believe in generations"
"Give gamers something they can only enjoy on PS5"
Lol. I'd keep those expectations in check to be honest. They did no DLC and the game came out in 2018? They probably began development right away after the first which leads me to believe there's a good chance it started on PS4.
Guess this forum is about to become a PC-only space then.Seems like it.

None of that has to do with Miles or Horizon.Paraphrasing but:
"We believe in generations"
"Give gamers something they can only enjoy on PS5"
If you wanna believe that, sure, go ahead.The games probably started development on the PS4. That's how game development works these days. It's a lengthy task.
People are upset because they're whiny and like whining. This is ridiculous. Every PS gen has done this.

Between this and the UE5 demo I was suspecting the PS4 10 year cycle was still in play. While I thought it was obvious, I can certainly see how they were deceiving as fuck. This definitely means I'm not selling my PS4 though and will just have it in another room. Hope cross-saves are seamless lol.
People are mad because Sony was pushing for a fast transition, experiences that can only be enjoyed on PS5 and "PS5 exclusives will not be cross gen" for months only for it turn turn out that a number of the games showcased for the PS5 are crossgen and Sony is now talking about the PS4 being more important for 3-4 more years.
Yes, expectations in here have been a bit unrealistic in regards to this topic.You honestly think they were gonna stop support for a system that sold over 110 Million ?
I'm thinking covid and series S made them do this. They'll push PS4 as the budget option to compete against s, since I expect lots of cross gen from third parties.People are mad because Sony was pushing for a fast transition, experiences that can only be enjoyed on PS5 and "PS5 exclusives will not be cross gen" for months only for it turn turn out that a number of the games showcased for the PS5 are crossgen and Sony is now talking about the PS4 being more important for 3-4 more years.
Normally most probably wouldn't be too upset(we all know some would), but some of the stuff Sony said clearly deceived people.

Why didn't they tell us Miles Morales was also going to be on PS4 when they announced it?
It's a weird lie of omission. Especially when everyone was confused about what the game was at first.
I don't mind the games being cross gen. Supporting their existing fans is great. One of my best friends wanted to play MM so badly but couldn't justify buying a PS5. Now he doesn't have to as he'll be able to play it on his PS4.
PC users about to throw their own fits when they can't get a 30 series card.
You just gave an example of them doing this?If you wanna believe that, sure, go ahead.
And no, not every PS gen has done this. Last time the only cross-gen stuff was LBP3, the MLB games and some indie sized games such as Resogun, Entwined, Helldivers and stuff.
