Btw df show how much of a fucking clown company they are, they praised the equipment geometry even if in every piece of equipment there is always the low poly\geometry stuff like the little ropes.

And they had the fucking nerve to praise the character models even if it is just atsu and the yotei 6 and even them, are nowhere near horizon metahumans, atsu family legit look like mid ps4 characters, they are not better than shadows npcs at all.

I fucking hate these cunts.

I think those videos about exclusive games need "sponsored content" tag.

the thing is that Helmet allowed insomniac to make ratchet a ps5 exclusive. allowed housemarque to make returnal a ps5 exclusive. BP made Demon Souls a ps5 exclusive, all in the first few months. then they didnt bother releasing TLOU remake for the ps4 despite the fact it wouldve easily run on it. Then released a $300 million spiderman 2 only on the ps5. its a company of contradictions, but i go back to developers from SSM and GG themselves saying how they didnt want to leave PS4 games behind, and how the ps4 allowed them to do everything they wanted to. I think the devs decided on this, and herman and jim ryan had nothing to do with it. they were probably happy but i doubt they mandated cross gen games at the biggest sony studios. sony is very hands off about what IPs these guys choose, let alone interfering with development just to milk the last gen audience.

you look at Ghosts and Death Stranding 2 being next gen only, being allowed to have 5-6 years of dev time, and they both failed to take advantage. I dont think its Herman. I think something just happened at these studios (kojima isnt even technically first party) that made them lazy.

Herman and jimbo or the upper echelons at Sony can be blamed for BP, Bend, Concord, Fair Games, and a bunch of other GaaS games that never materialized. But the rest is all on the devs. they did cut the budget of SP games, but the devs shouldve been smarter about it and chosen UE5 to reduce development costs.

Going crossgen probably move a good amount of money, i have hard time thinking that devs decided this shit alone, it is too big of a decision.

I think sony asked if they could go crossgen and they said yes to not make the boss angry.

The alternative would be even worse than bad management, it means devs being complacent and not caring about showing their best work, it is hard to believe for even a second that all devs were happy to work with a jaguar cpu and a machanical 5400 rpm hard disk as limitation for nextgen after 7 years of cutting corners.

Making 2 version of a game is also a lot more work to do, yeah dude i think you are wrong with this one, devs had nothing to gain and everything to lose with this bizzarre choice, i think sony forced their hands or they are are a bunch of lazy retards without any way to spin it...

They have always been (Especially John) hyper masters of big AAA games. Especially exclusives.

I will always laugh at the titles John chose for cross gen games earlier in the gen.

Forza Horizon 5 Tech Analysis: An Xbox Series X Masterpiece
Horizon Forbidden West - Digital Foundry Tech Review - A PS5 Graphics Masterclass

Not to mention the 30-50 minute long reviews of TLOU remake and fucking GT7. Two of the most mid looking games ive ever seen.

I'm calm, that just my colorful way of posting

If horizon online will end up releasing on current gen I hope it to improve gradually over hfw

Maybe his Forza Horizon 6 video will live up to the superfluous titles lol. Am excited to see PG drop Xbone and embrace RTGI now that the engine supports it. FH5 looked truly great already considering

if they are using the same tech as Fable, it will be one of the best looking games of the generation. Fable looks incredible.

Horizon 6 will end up even better than fable considering it's nature as racing game

 

[Represent.]

Means their cross gen is likely coming to an end next title, hopefully.

OMG I hope so.

Yea, the next Modern Warfare title was confirmed to be current gen only on an enhanced engine

tbh, this COD looks to have gotten a visual boost. i saw way better lighting in the trailers. both mp and sp. decent upgrade in materials too. but that could just be due to the lighting.

 

[Luipadre]

wtf are those horrible phone pictures in a topic like this

Yotei looks amazing on OLED and i think they fixed the NPC lighting indoors too in RT mode

But they did also affect next-gen only games like we saw with Spiderman 2 when they pushed Insomniac to rush the game and release it in a half-assed state.
