It depends on what's defined as essential changes to a games core and the stuff that's cut out.  I guess if you're a hardliner you might say "any slowdown in rift transitions compared to PS5 undeniably alters the state of the game," but I'd think you're just desperate to win an argument at that point.

EDIT:  Just to hammer the point home, remember that the original threshold Insomniac's Marcus Smith hyped up was "...wouldn't be possible without the PS5's SSD..." which carries far greater implications than things wouldn't quite feel the same.  

Do you understand how time works? What may have been true when that was said years ago may not be true now. Not with how technology advances. 

Rift Apart may have only been possible with the PS5's SSD AT THAT TIME, but as we learn more and find newer/better ways to adapt and upgrade, they clearly found a way to make it work (kinda) without the SSD. 

Why does everything have to be malicious with some of you people? It couldn't possibly be that time happened and things changed since then, but no...Sony LIED to you to TRICK you into buying a PS5 because they are a greedy corporation that just wants your money and will manipulate you to get its way! I mean, they are a greedy corporation who wants your money but you don't need to assume malice or dishonesty to also acknowledge that. Gaming discourse can be such a goddamn exhausting endeavour. 

**Edit* To be clear this post is aimed not JUST at you, but everyone out there who is aggressively claiming dishonesty or trying to use this as some sort of weapon against Sony in the console wars of 2023. I can't go anywhere without people claiming Sony LIED about the SSD or what was/was not possible with it and I'm just over here like 'Y'all know time happens, right? Technology gets better and we find new ways to do things that didn't seem possible just a few years ago; there doesn't need to be malice or dishonesty when a simple passage of time and the change that comes with it is a far more likely explanation'
