Honestly, its just HFW being cross gen that I think most people are disappointed by. 

Sackboy and Miles being cross gen is an easier pill to swallow considering their scope and the fact that Demon's Souls is launching as a PS5 exclusive. I just can't help but think of the compromises HFW will need to accommodate PS4 hardware. 

I think, based on my observation of what they've been talking about all year concerning the PS4's backwards compatibility and general abilities, is that at absolute worse the two versions will be identical but the PS5 version will have longer draw distance and loading. 

I see that as an absolute win. Horizon Zero Dawn was already an outstanding-looking game with great art direction. I don't really think it's a big deal if the games are virtually identical on PS4 and PS5 but with better load times and performance on PS5. People have been programming games like that for ages. Again, I do not know what mystical special magical powers the PS5 has that makes a game like Horizon fundamentally altered. Ratchet & Clank? yeah, the world changing gimmick is awesome. Horizon? Well, unless they're doing a Link To the Past style world alteration thing, I just don't understand the concerns. Plenty of games are cross generational during these transitional times and I was a little disappointed that Sony said they would be cutting the two libraries and keeping them separate. This is better for everyone. On every front. 

I'd love to hear some dissenting arguments but like...people, seriously? This is a good thing.
