But why? Lol. You have a new system running the games at 4k60/1440p60 or whatever while the old one is running at 720p30. Why is it annoying that people with the previous system can still play the games? I don't understand why Sony preventing people on PS4 from playing God of War Ragnarok, Miles Morales, Sackboy, Horizon Forbidden West for no good reason would be a good thing. I don't see how abandoning the people who bought your previous platform ASAP is a positive. Cross-gen means you can stick with the platform you already have if you're not interested in the performance and features of the new console instead of being forced to. "Buy our new machine right now, or here's the middle finger." If the games can run, keep bringing them. |
If the leap was as big as 720p30 to 1440p60 then yeah that's night and day, but if you were to use the leap from PS4 Pro to PS5, even on a 4K set those PS4 Pro versions are still damn impressive. Hell, even the base PS4 was optimised impressively for cross-gen.
In those cases people are probably right to be annoyed. But if they're annoyed it should be at themselves, since if they were going to be happy with those versions on PS4 they should've just stuck with it. If they wanted the next-gen features and performance that badly and couldn't wait any longer, well then there's no reason to be upset.
The idea that someone is upset purely because they wanted to jump straight to next-gen, but also don't like the thought that other people from the previous gen are happy enjoying the same games there... Well, I don't want to spell out what that says about your character, but it's not great.
