PS4 will hold back next gen PS5 games until 2022. Maybe 2023.
XSS will hold back next gen XSX games until 2027 and then NEXT next gen gaming for another 2 years since it will also have a cross gen period.
Sony has no shame lmao. As if lying through their teeth about it being a PS5 exclusive wasnt bad enough, look at how it says Coming 2021.
This probably belongs in the MS E3 thread, but I have been meaning to discuss the implications of this move by Sony and how MS can take the initiative and do what Sony did to them last gen. Remember #PS4NODRM? This could be it for MS. #XBoxNoLastGen. Right here right now at this E3, go out there and show the world what REAL next gen games look like.
Horizon looks very impressive but its no Hellblade 2. MS showed five CG trailers last year. 10 months should be plenty of time to make realtime in game trailers or vertical slices of those games. Doesnt matter if those games dont come out until 2023 or 2024. The narrative will shift immediately. MS will be the console maker offering gamers a true next gen experience while Sony is left with some cross gen games that look real pretty but play like last gen games.
UE5 demo shows that you can get photorealistic visuals like Hellblade 2. Fable can really go in on destruction, gorgeous cg visuals and dense forest design we didnt see in Horizon. State of Decay and Avowed could really push the envelope. The ball is in Microsoft's court. Sony has essentially taken the Nintendo route and removed themselves from the equation altogether by limiting themselves to last gen. It's time for MS to grab this opportunity and really show us what this 12 tflops console with 16 thread CPU and SSD can do.
Yes, this is a golden opportunity for MS to really showcase a lot of real next gen games. Unless Sony wanted to get out the "bad news" first and is getting ready to show some demos/trailers of upcoming next gen games this summer but at this point I'm not sure if they have something ready to be revealed. Almost every studio is either just beginning their next project (ND, Sucker Punch, Insomniac, etc) or we already know what they are working on (Guerrilla, Santa Monica, Polyphony, etc) so it really is a mystery what can we expect from their next big event when it comes to fully next gen games.
