That's about the games in general coming to PS5. This is about how Sony is moving away from cross gen, both first party and partnerships. Different topics
Is Factions definitely still crossgen?
That's not what this topic is about.
And all that without a showcase yet.
"easing away" is actually being too nice considering that maybe one of those will be on PS4 (if Factions is indeed a PS4 game as well).
Outside of maybe Factions, not a single one of them is cross-gen.
I'm almost sure Factions will be cross gen tbh. The game started development on the PS4. Even if like only 25% of all players are on PS4 it's still a lot.It would be dumb for them to make Factions cross-gen in 2023+, people are playing PS4 less and less these days and im sure they have the data to back it up which is why even Horizon’s DLC is PS5 only.
PS5 and PC is where the vast majority of the fanbase thats gonna be playing this game are. Especially as more time goes on. It made sense with single player stuff as they want the frontloaded sales but a game thats meant to exist for years might as well drop it.
The most recent numbers they shared was around 80-90 million PS4 monthly active users. Way more than the ones they have on PS5.It would be dumb for them to make Factions cross-gen in 2023+, people are playing PS4 less and less these days.
Jim Ryan got slated for the same mindset for GT/Ragnarok and HFWI'm almost sure Factions will be cross gen tbh. The game started development on the PS4. Even if like only 25% of all players are on PS4 it's still a lot.
The one thing that makes me think there's the possibility of not supporting the PS4 is that then they would need to support that version for like 3 or 4 years when the PS4 is like 13 years old, lol.
Yes, but the fewer threads about PlayStation games, the better it is /sThat's about the games in general coming to PS5. This is about how Sony is moving away from cross gen, both first party and partnerships. Different topics

Gran Turismo 7, Sackboy, Returnal, Astro's Playroom.Am I right in thinking that the only 1st party PlayStation studio that has used Ray tracing in their games is Insomniac? What’s up with that??
Sorry... I'll rephrase my commentYes, but the fewer threads about PlayStation games, the better it is /s
Watch this Sony slice: two thirds of the money made in PSN store revenue (which is 80% of their game revenue, being the other 20% retail game sales) during the previous fiscal year was made on PS4And are those users buying new games and spending money in games or are they just playing Fortnite, last years 2k/FIFA, and watching netflix?
According to Sony these PS4 users are buying more games than they did on the first year of the PS4 or than the PS3 did at the same point of their lifetime, both in total and in average per user.
Sony has published an additional statement on the decline in PS Plus subscribers, claiming that it was influenced by “a greater decline in user engagement among PlayStation 4 (PS4) users than expected”.
“The number of PlayStation Plus subscriber accounts at the end of September decreased 4% from the end of June to 45.4 million accounts. We see that this decrease results from a greater decline in user engagement among PlayStation 4 (PS4) users than expected.
“On the other hand, the ratio of PS Plus subscribers among PlayStation 5(PS5) users remains at a level significantly higher than that of PS4. We are putting even more effort into accelerating the penetration of PS5 hardware to recover this user engagement going forward.”
Because none of the studios have made an actual PS5 game yet. Hopefully Ghost of Tsushima 2 will take a major advantage of RT reflections and RTGI. That game would would be able to flawlessly run with it because of it's simple texturing and art direction.Am I right in thinking that the only 1st party PlayStation studio that has used Ray tracing in their games is Insomniac? What’s up with that??
is spiderman 2 a confirmed next year release?
im sure there are a few more surprises for next year
Are you telling me that the Horizon Burning Shores DLC is for PS5 only?
Great thread and great video, had no clue that Fatal Frame 4 is getting rereleased. I own the Japanese copy and have it set up on the Wii for translation purposes but it's so much more convenient to play it on a modern console. Stoked for its release in March.

I just looked it up and apparently it is! I'm glad I have a PS5.

We'll see.Factions will most certainly NOT be cross-gen.
Then goes on to provide us all with another thrilling GOTY thread.
the others are so good with their visuals they don't need itAm I right in thinking that the only 1st party PlayStation studio that has used Ray tracing in their games is Insomniac? What’s up with that??
And PC will still hold those games back.
Please enlighten us with a list of innovative games for 2023 then.Not a great line up if I'm being honest.
Where is the innovation ?
Absolutely nothing posted in that article reports the contrary of what I said.I mean the contrary has been being reported, that ps4 users are engaging less with gaming

Absolutely nothing posted in that article reports the contrary of what I said.
Which btw is a highly cherrypicked text on VGC's side: Sony had a small decline in MAU and PS+ subs (these numbers are for PS5 and PS4 combined, not only PS4) but had a way bigger, quite huge increase in PS Plus revenue. Which resulted to be the highest ever for any game subs of any console maker (not sure if for any quarter, but at least is the biggest Q2 ever).
And the numbers I posted are for an entire fiscal year, the ones of the articles from a single quarter, the Q2 that traditionally is one the weakest ones of the year. The next quarter (Q3) is by far the best one of the year, so if you only look at a single quarter number, you'll see there big increases.
Remember that if you don't like a technology like VR or think that every Sony first party game is a "walking simulator" then PlayStation has no games.Please enlighten us with a list of innovative games for 2023 then.
I think PSVR2 may have that covered for Sony tbh.
Which of these are PS5 only?With the unconfirmed exception of TLOU Factions, PlayStation has moved to prioritizing the PS5 experience first and foremost for it's 2023 releases.
Delays not withstanding, PlayStation's 2023 lineup looks incredible.
