13 years? damn
Nothing hurts quite like being told your trusty jet engine of a console has officially been relegated to the retro category while you are still trying to figure out if you can afford a PS5 without selling a kidney.
Depends on the hardware. The PS2 didn’t have this issue because it was still much more popular than its successor for quite a while and the transition happened with less friction. Now it’s more forced as publishers try to convince players and developers that everything needs to happen on the latest hardware, which wouldn’t be such an issue if most of the stuff happening on the latest hardware wasn’t such ass. It doesn’t help that the hardware doesn’t seem to be significantly different from the previous generation in terms of revolutionizing gameplay or graphical fidelity, especially when compared to the leaps that previous generations made.
The only real incentive to buying a PS5 over a PS4 is that it’s the platform the new games are being published on, but the new games aren’t really outpacing the older ones in terms of entertainment or “wow” factor. They can just be played at higher resolutions at a higher refresh rate, but nothing new or exceptional has been added to the experience
Hang on so can someone ELI5 for this? I have a PS4 what does this mean for me? The wording is confusing.
Meanwhile PCMR living at the buffet eating whatever we want
Support for last gen should have stopped long before now
No, developers will do what it takes to make money.
If too few move to the PS5, they will not abandon the PS4 market.
A couple of years ago everyone was complaining because “there’s no reason to get a new console if all the games still come out on the old consoles”
Now everyone’s complaining because “New games are only coming out on the new console and now I can’t play them because I never upgraded!”
Nah I’ll defend the multi million dollar companies in this one, c’mon guys, it’s time to upgrade, I has been 5 years
Oh nyo. If only there was a better gaming platform that doesn’t have this issue….
PS5 is 5 years old now? Alright, I suppose I can understand that decision then
5years and still no GTA6
It’s ok the PS4 has a better overall library in terms of exclusives
You mean I don’t have to keep up with new games anymore?
Those ps4 owners should’ve upgraded sooner the moment ps5s had a stable supply. Now look, you’re ps5s ain’t getting cheaper, the fucking opposite is happening.
Honestly a lot of AAA games aren’t worth it so I don’t blame ps4 users
Ngl ps4 pro should still get the new games its essentially a ps5 slim
How tf is the ps4 13 years old, It was released last month?
Best console ever released. Made the most memories on that system playing BF4, Warthunder and plenty of others. Felt like a PC back then even though it was limited to Sonys OS. I remember being JR year of High-school not able to afford it because I was dirt poor and managed to save enough to buy it without a fame lol.
I’d be a lot more sympathetic to devs if the PS5 hadn’t increased in cost in those 5 years since its release. Atp if something is a PS5 exclusive, I just ignore its existence since there’s no I’ll be able to play it
Love the episode two quote.
PS4 was 13 years ago? Fuck just lay the JBL by my ear and let me pass in peace.
PS4 still has good specs. I don’t have a PS4, but, taking into account that PlayStation software will probably be similar anyway, I don’t get why they wouldn’t make it available for both PS5 AND PS4. It’s just losing possible customers in a console that could still perfectly run most of those games.
Maybe it’d be a plausible way to install a Linux system on the PS4 and run the newer games via Proton, yet, it’d still be easier and more optimized if they were made specifically for the ps4.
Please, explain if my reasoning (or assumptions) are wrong in any way, cuz I just don’t get it.
The PS5 is five years old?? It feels like it was released yesterday.
I am with game devs on this
You have had 7 years to upgrade, and you didn’t. It sucks to suck.
If you can’t afford to buy a ps5 at this point in the game you should stop gaming and work a job more.
Yall had 5 years, and you couldn’t save $500 for a ps5?
What pisses me off is when they not only stop selling older products, they also sue anyone who tries to play them through other means. Looking at you Nintendo. If I wanna emulate Pokemon Silver, I will fucking emulate Pokemon Silver. Shove your lawsuit up your ass.
That shoot them or something mood is way too relatable sometimes.
