Meta GAF |ON| Gaf on Gaf

I kinda wanted SONY to twist the knife harder but honestly when the whole launch line-up for Series X is AA indie-ish type titles I guess you could say enough was done. Hoping the rumors of a second event are true, though. I feel like this should be easier for SONY to nail, I mean... I'm sold but some of their messaging is so confusing... working on HFW on PS4 in parallel? Is that just PR speak? Is it actually two versions or did they build a PS4 game and make it nicer on PS5? Ugh. Stick to your words, mean what you say, that shit is important. We'll see where this all goes.

I really liked Gran Turismo Sport for what it was.

Should it have taken the place of real GT for an entire console generation? Probably not. But it looked great, and the competitive/online angle was so well thought out and fun. When a racing game starts you out with an online driving etiquette class, you know special care has been paid to it.

Real talk though, everyone was shitting on cross-gen games "holding back next-gen"

How come its fine all of a sudden?
I think this is just your perception and not reality. There's also a difference between weak hardware holding back next gen and cross gen games holding back next gen. Might as well complain that Cyberpunk 2077 is coming to current gen (and some have, in fact, griped that it will be shackled by the old console hardware).

True there's a difference. But that's not me who was saying it months ago

People were criticizing MS's approach which is understandable, people want pure next-gen

But now the same people are justifying the cross-gen. And I am speaking in general not GAF only

I think instead of a situation where they release TLOU and then TLOU Remake on the next system, they were probably aiming to release both Horizon 2 and spider Man 2 on PS4 Pro but decided to send it to PS5 to take advantage of the hardware. Since both games benefitted dramatically from the SSD upgrade, they have been used to show off the new system.

That was my take at least. This is not the same as "no next-gen-only games for the first year" and "all games will be scalable across all Xboxes".

Honestly if we're in for something, we're in for a solid launch titles

Remind me when was the last time we had at least decent launch titles?

We're in for a treat, people are just making a fuss out of nothing to be honest

I don't usually buy consoles at launch so you got me there.

Xbox360, shit no.. 3DS and PS Vita.

Now console launches are just "Games to play on the new system you brought." But not games worth buying a system for. Just wait 18 months and reap the benefits.

We're going to have a great lineup this time. Lots of current gen games + next-gen at launch

I don't really need to hear them say "it was delayed, we expect it later", I just initiated the process to let them know I am inquiring and potentially get a kickback for late prime deliveries which they often do.
I used to call em just to hear them sweat.
