Sony's U-turn - Should first party games be cross-gen?

[Jizz_Beard_thePirate]

As a person that bought a ps5 at launch, I don't like the fact that these big IPs are cross gen while being more expensive to purchase... Like I was under the impression that the price increase for current gen games to $70 was because the games are getting more expensive to make so they need more money as the user base for a new generation is very low. But now you have this situation where not only are the games more expensive, they are also not utilizing the current gen hardware to it's fullest extent and have the user base of the last gen in addition to current gen.

But my biggest problem is the fact that we won't see a God of War or Horizon (or who knows what other big games) that will fully utilize PS5's hardware for many more years. Like yea, Forbidden West looks really good but imagine what Forbidden West that's not held back by the PS4 would look like... And now we have to wait even longer for that to happen... Especially in an era of gaming where we see one or (if lucky) two games per generation from a franchise.
