All games released after 1st October have to support Neo as standard.  So all the big hitters later this year.

That's incorrect. All games developed after 1st October must have a Neo mode. There's a difference.

Do we know the official terms? I can't believe that Sony would allow such big loopholes, otherwise some developers will even get away with no NEO mode in 2022, because the development of the game started before October 2016.

He was very clear on those terms. Sony aren't going to want to annoy devs by forcing them to delay their games in order to fulfil a mandate. Some will patch in a Neo mode but it's not manditary. After October 1st they HAVE to have a Neo mode. It's the simplest solution.

So which games need the Neo mode after October 1st?

  • games where development began before 2016/10/01 but are still in development at 2016/10/01? yes/no
  • games that are feature complete at 2016/10/01 (beta versions) but haven't "gone gold" until then? yes/no
  • games that have "gone gold" before 2016/10/01 but are officially released after 2016/09/30? yes/no
  • games where development starts after 2016/09/30? YES

Which are the exact terms?
