| smroadkill15 said: Based on how games are usually developed says otherwise. It doesn't help that Sony kept information about cross-gen releases about other titles like Spider-man:MM, God of War, and Horizon from the public. This is why I find it hard to believe they suddenly decided to make GT7 cross-gen. I don't actually care how Sony handles their games. If they want to be cross-gen or not doesn't bother me. But they did withhold information and if someone who has or wants a PS5 is upset about this, I don't see anything wrong with that considering how Sony basically lied about believing in generations. Then seeing so many coming to the defense of Sony is strange, but not surprising. |
Not everything is all or nothing, black and white. I'm sure Sony still 'believes' in generations, just not at the same level you do. I'm sure MS also still believes in generations, why release the Series at all if they don't? The One X is more than capable.
What is the defense here anyway? PR speak is lies by nature. Stop falling for it. Actions speak louder than words. Look at what they do, don't listen to what they say. It's simple, yet every time a PR puppet opens their mouth we go around the same circus again.
Anyway here's a quote from Eurogamer
As you'd expect, these announcements sparked a vociferous debate, with many picking out PlayStation boss Jim Ryan's prior "... we believe in generations" quote as evidence of Sony's hypocrisy.
I don't much like Jim Ryan or all of this cross-gen crap, but it's really annoying how this quote is always taken out of context to stoke outrage.
In the interview it was a direct answer to being asked about Microsoft's policy that all their upcoming games would be playable on Xbox One consoles. He states that they believe in putting features and capabilities into their new hardware that aren't available on the previous generation, and that people should make games that make the most of those. Not that every game made should be next-gen exclusive, but at least some should.
It's only lies when you take it out of context with all or nothing thinking, but whatever, it was PR, don't listen to it.
Oh and about PD, I'm pretty sure Kaz is throwing a tantrum having to support PS4 for GT7 :)
