Is this legal? Selling the base game then not selling dlc for it? It feels like a scam for me. Cd project done the same thing(even after selling xbox one x cyberpunk edition). This is becoming the new normal.
I use Pc for gaming btw.

Right? If the PS4 is not limiting in any way and can go toe-to-toe with the PS5, why did they bother spending $$$$ in R&D costs and release a new console?Source
Some months later ...
So the game was limited in favor of the PS4 version after all?
There is no other reason not to release the DLC on the last-gen otherwise.

Why did you feel the need to add this?

Americans love this kind of stuff.
The idea for the DLC sounds nice, but I don't know if I want to go back to Horizon for a smaller story. Forbidden West for me is only a decent game.

The scam was making the game for ps4 aswell to begin with, they are just correcting their mistake.
It is time to let go of people with a 2013 console.

An actual game made exclusively for Ps5?

I wouldn't laugh at it just yet.

So they don't think I'm crying because I stuck with an old-gen console. I feel for old gen bros and hate this new approach for crossgen titles.

I laugh at the overuse of that word. California is quite a diverse place, I’m sure there will be surprises.

Even if it is just one biome it can still be large and have a ton of stuff to do. But yes California does have plenty of different environments in it.

Really curious to see why this was made as a PS5 exclusive. It’s a DLC of a game that was available on the PS4.
My hunch would be some sort of technical limitations, for example that giant robot leviathan seem’s like a huge set piece battle at some point in the DLC, is it the data I/O bottleneck that’s stopping them from doing it on PS4? I would imagine such a giant robot would require a lot of geometry and texture data to be thrown around.

I'd call it a smart one. Show what this game can do when you don't have to build around 6 year old tech.

of course it's legal. Why wouldn't it be?

As mentioned earlier in the thread the % of launch window buyers that were actually playing on PS4 was very low. Probably saves dev time too.

Its the image in the PS5 news feed for the trailer. Probably just a cinematic still.
I assume fighting it will be built around flying around it on the Sunwing and maybe climbing/grappling hooking up it too. Sorta like the Tallnecks. Could def be like what you're saying and that would be pretty cool.Looks like a playing area on top of this thing?
For the love of god please tell me fighting this thing means you need to climb up around it (Shadow of the Colossus style) to kill it
I want to see more giant enemies like this in games. There's no reason why they can't create a scenario where you have to use all kinds of movement traversal around the creature to kill it. Stepping up / down, hurdling, mantling, climbing, swinging, flying. Let me think and use all those methods to defeat a boss like this.

Chances are its just as simple as "our cross gen game sold well, lets make a PS5 exclusive expansion now." They got their PS4 sales and can now point to Burning Shores as a big reason why Horizon FW is better on PS5. Tech wise I would hope they can just at a minimum make the sunwing fly a bit faster. Its overall just gonna be nice to see them make Horizon for PS5 and not need to worry about "X is tanking framerate on PS4 so cut it back."
Also seems like lava might be a new thing tech wise.

Will be interesting to see if they took the criticism of the primary game into account

Shouldn't they say "you will not be able to play the dlc of this game" when selling the old generation version? They make this decision years after selling the game. If I had bought the game in the old generation, I would expect to play the dlc as any other game that has it. Especially if I had gotten the "cyberpunk custom xbox one x" version.

From a legal perspective, Not really no. Legally speaking, purchasing a game doesn't give you any entitlement to future content.

Probably because it's a berry-picking simulator with bad writing?

B..berry-picking simulator?
And I love the general idea that gaming as a whole is composed of Dostoevskij standards.. news flash, 99.9% of gaming writing is pure diarrhea.
Forbidden West sure as fuck isn't below average in any way in this regard, and its lore managed to be interesting and fascinating like few others to me.

Making the DLC PS5 only is very weird when the game launched on PS4. I wonder what they plan to do with the DLC by making it PS5 only.
