Once again... God Of War Ragnarok being on PS4 has nothing to do with the pandemic. It was in development long before it started.
And most people (Myself included) aren’t so much annoyed at Sony for doing cross gen, but for not being more up front about before the Ps5 launched. Some of us may have made a different purchasing choice has they been more transparent.
The OP has a valid point, and I get this, because GT7 actually said PS5 exclusive. Ratchet n Clank is interesting because I have no idea if thats a strong IP. It might be according to Sony.
What some are upset about is this:
MS-no Series exclusives for the first 2 years.
Sony-we believe in generations.
MS flat out stated what was up, Sony basically said we will do like we have always done.
Here's my thing....if they woulda said we will have a mix of cross gen and exclusives....then the questions woulda been ok, which games? And to that, with GT7 now being listed as cross gen....would they have ever been able to say which games?
It becomes a never ending cycle of pr anwsers and questions.
Both MS and Sony know what position they are in as far as releasing games, so they both gave answers based on that.
We are debating about cross gen games.....and between 2020-2021 Sony has....... 11...fucking games total, (10 exclusive games....) released: (5 PS5 exclusive) EDIT: (added some cross games I forgot about)
TLoU 2
GoT
Dreams
Astro Playroom
Demon's Souls
Miles Morales
Sack Boy
The Show 21
Destruction All Starts
Returnal
Rift Apart
With HFW on track for this year.
So...again, OP has a valid point, but....how were they not up front? Because they didnt say specifically which games?
....They have never done that before....ever. They did like they have always done, release a mix of cross gen and next gen exclusives.
The problem is ppl mistakenly expected Sony to be the complete opposite of MS. Only thing they cant get a pass on is GT7 since that said PS5 exclusive.
