Should anyone be worried?

Alright guys I know it is easy to joke about Smart Delivery there but it's more a mix between activision being greedy and MS not allowing paid upgrades.Which is a good policy except in this case where activision are the greediest mofos.
So the blame is at 99% on activision.But it does show how a pro consumer decision can have a bad outcome, but I hope more games will use smart delivery in the beginning of the next gen.

I think so, it's looking more likely now.

It's okay, man. But you left us wondering if we should be worried or not, that's why there was so much chaos the other day

Vast majority of studios and publishers give free upgrades. Activision are simply the worst of the worst.

That's what I call " Smart downgradibility"

Well that same pro-consumer decision is happening on the other platforms. Difference is that developers don't have to find a way around a policy on the PS5.
If anything it shows how forcing a pro-consumer policy can end up in something that's detrimental to consumers.

Yes but not We are agree Activision is the devil but also you as Xbox or Playstation cannot think everyone has to do the things in the way you want
specially a company which its sales are much more higher than almost any other game released each year since around a decade ago.
For this year from third party, the main two games in sales will be probably CoD and Cyberpunk (follow close for FIFA and AC) if you lost one of them
from be able to upgrade the physical version is bad especially when you platform sells even less units of CoD per year compare to PC and PS.
If this game doesn't run 4k 60 fps in a 2080 TI, I don't see a way where they can do it in the new consoles be a title crossgen.

wondering if we will see any new stuff from Sony and ms, they say it is new content but they have announced R&C gameplay as world premiere so I am not expecting too much

Maybe something to do with the drive? In guessing that maybe the PS4 drive can't read PS5 disks for some reason.

40 hour COD game campaign?
...okay, that’d interest me. It’d require a fairly sizeable change in the structure of the game... which would be very refreshing.
Probably bullshit though, eh?

40 hrs
That seems pretty far-fetched. I mean, how long is a typical COD campaign? Maybe 8-10 hours if we are being generous? All of a sudden they are going to quadruple the Story campaign length and have the multiplayer portion ready to go?
I don’t keep up much with COD development, has this iteration been given much more time to develop than previous entries?

Someone summaries this please. All these guys do is repeat known data. Guys that are fans please summarise. Tired of these guys jumping on console war for clicks.

I do agree that Xbox may lack flexibility on that subject.

Classic Activision... Even more baffling that "gamers" are laughing with Microsoft trying to change this anti-consumer practice

Yep even EA does it ... though for a limited time.And I thought EA was petty for it.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
Hitman is all about a pretty insane array of options for accomplishing a "mission", which is usually "kill 1 person." You can do anything from mow everyone down on a map, to sneaking around and figuring out one of various ways for the person to die and make it look like an accident.I never played Hitmam is it good or bad?

It's got less. Treyarch had to take over development halfway from Raven / Sledgehammer.
That 40 hours is nonsense unless it's not the standard campaign.

I know that's the thing that people say around here but there isn't any indication that's true.
They have bought a lot of studios, doubled down on Gamepass (which for all intents and purposes it's a loss leader approach) and rumors are pointing at selling xsx at a loss.
Maybe they didn't want to add other expenses to all this but I'd love to see a comparison of what Sony and Microsoft have spent on next-gen.

PS4 had BD (max 2 layers, 1 layer 25GB, 2 layers 50GB) older standard
PS5 will have BDXL (multi-layered, 3 layers 100GB, 4 layers 128GB) newer standard
BDXL drives mostly do not read the earlier formats, but regular Blu-ray drives absolutely do not support newer BDXL format.
Disc are transformed form standard Blu-Ray to UltraHD Blu-ray Discs

Not sure its been linked but also who knows how true but:
With next-generation consoles, the game will play at 4K resolution and refresh rates at 120hz. Cold War will use haptic controllers. The solid-state drives (SSDs) with flash memory in the new consoles will have faster load times, and that means that the loading screens will be gone, with seamless transitions between cinematics and gameplay.

What's the thing people say around here? That Xbox did try to money hat exclusives or that their budget to do so wasn't as big as Sony's because I'm saying the latter. Sony had allocated a larger portion of their budget towards grabbing 3rd party exclusives. I'm not comparing what they've both spent in other areas.

The last 2 points are kind of useless? I mean if I have a PS5 or a XBSX why would I care if it ran on last gen?
The first two points are more useful, since people that have current gen may upgrade at a later date and hope their games can carry forward.

We are laughing at fanboys (not fans) trying to make Smart Delivery look like something exclusive to Xbox when the fact is Xbox does not control who does and doesn't agree to upgrade the game for free...

Too good to be true. I expect some more fresh FUD to be served in no more than 24 hours from now. Bet on it. FUD Golem is watching and he isn't happy

What is more funny is that you can't upgrade Xone to XsX for this game at all. Ps4 version can be upgraded to ps5 for $10.
