I Just can't wait to play this game, GoW and Elden Ring are the most anticipated games of 2022 easily. The hype behind GoW is gigantic, many stores have made events for fans here de in Brazil, It's unreal!

I look back at this:

Such bias. To even consider that Bayonetta 3 is, in general, more anticipated than GoW: Ragnarok?? lol... Unreal.

Cross generation can affect a game.

A lot of graphical features are easy to scale up or down. You can turn down various features, sometimes pretty trivially. This isn't always the case though, the CPU does do work for GPU related tasks.

A lot of computational features aren't easy to scale. For example AI, you might need to limit how many NPCs you have, or you might need to turn off features of the AI to make it work on worse hardware. So either it can't happen or you have to make some compromises with the experience.

Sometimes you can leverage other parts of the system to make more things happen. The PS4 doesn't have much faster IO than the PS3, but it does have a heck of a lot more RAM, so you can load bigger levels or perhaps multiple levels into RAM. Or just in general load things much earlier than you would have otherwise needed to.

And something to add to that, is that if you're working on two different platforms, you might be spending more time working on figuring out what settings to turn down or cut, instead of adding new features to the better platform. Doesn't necessarily have to happen, but it can be a factor.

His way of denying basically confirms it.

This site have more Nintendo fanbase. And Bayo3 score on metacritic is so much above what it would get if was a PS/Xbox title.

Not really, no. He explicitly mentions they didn’t have to sacrifice anything they set out to do in order to make it work for the PS4. It was created with that console in mind from the get-go, so you can’t presume it was held back by it. 

Held back on what could be possible if PS5 only. They weren't restricted by PS4 because that was the target all along, not because PS4 wouldn't restrict a game at all.

Been playing Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition on my PS4.

Enjoying it more than when I first played DMC4 on PS3 10 years ago.

I believe I'm more than halfway done with the game since I started playing as Dante. 9 hours in.


Gonna play Lady/Trish and Vergil afterwards.

Dropped off of Driveclub months ago but will get back to it again soon.

Also I been playing Soul Blade/Soul Edge for PS1.

Cant believe how much more advanced it is compared to Tekken 1/2 - like it has voice acting and all but Tekken 1/2 didnt.

Soul Blade was more advanced than even Tekken 3 in some respects, like facial animations, voice acting, and dynamic environments. I adored this game and it still stands as my favorite in the series. The opening is *chef's kiss* timeless, the GOAT in my book.

I'm not a Nintendo fan, but I will tell you I loved Soul Calibur on GC with link and all =p at the time I thought it was a Nintendo franchise, much later I discovered it launching on PS as well, at the time I was playing SC I was really jealous (thankfully my friend and neighbor owned it so I played in his house frequently).

Yeah, I was pretty impressed especially after playing Tekken 1/2 in the last few years.

And yes, that opening intro, the video and song, its unskippable lol.

Oh yea, Soulcalibur II - that was my first game in the series.

I first got introduced to the series with one of my high school teachers bringing his gamecube and let the students play (after finals in the last week).

I instantly fell in love with the game and bought it for my Gamecube (this was like over 15 years ago lol).

Though that was the last time I actually bought a Soulcalibur game until a few years ago (I have Soulcalibur HD and 2 HD on Xbox, 3 on PS2, Broken destiny on PSP and 6 on PC).

I wish IV would have been ported over or at least V since Broken destiny is a pseudo 4.
