Thats a slippery slope you're on bro...

Unless its confirmed that there are features missing in the game with regards to the actual content, then whatever the price of the game is what the game costs. Things like RT, higher framerates, better textures, faster loading...etc, aren't features that you are "paying for" they are features you either get or don't get based on how you are playing the game. aka are you playing on the PS4/PS5?

It's like you saying that someone trying to play a game an RX580 with no RT should pay less for it than someone playing the game on a 3080.

Look at it this way,cross-gen games ideally are made to take full advantage of the platforms they support. It's only a bad thing if there is content only available on certain platforms but not on the other. So if you can use a flying mount in HFW on the PS5 but can't on the PS4? Then you shouldn't b paying the same for it.

I don't know, but that would be very stupid of sony if they do it. I see no reason why people that own the og SM game have to pay for the upgraded version. 

No I'm not talking about graphics I'm talking about content.

The rx580 version of a game has the exact same content as a 3080 version. If the PS5 version has content that's only possible on PS5 (like my earlier example of fast flying mounts) for the same price as the PS4 version that would be very bad. 

I posted a long time ago in an Xbox bashing thread that I got LBP3 on PS3 even though it was on PS4 (which I didn't want to buy at the time). If it wasn't on PS3, my daughter would have been devastated. Cross gen isn't a bad thing. It's not even a new thing. For as long as I've been gaming, there were versions of some "next gen" games on last gen hardware. It never detracted from my fun.

You know your complain doesn't hold water when you can buy a multiplat game and they'll cost the same but in one consoles they may have an additional char (like mortal kombat) or mode (like Fifa at launch of this gen had special content for X1). Having flying mount or not is irrelevant to the price of the game, it isn't like you can quantify - owww the flying is worth 1 USD.

And BC isn't the same as auto upgrade. It could even be the case that if you buy HFW for PS4 and use it in PS5 it will be the same game but with better graphics, while if you buy it for PS5 it will have other stuff. And even if was the case that for PS4 it cost less but if you use it on PS5 you'll get the PS5 version even paying less (so people buying the one for PS5 would be in disadvantage) or if the price is the same (and you say PS4 gamers are in disadvantage) that is as reaching as it gets.

I mean, yeah. Paying the same for less isn't good, like your MK and Fifa example. Those are good examples of that not being a good thing.

@Second bolded, And does that sound like a good thing?

In Sony's defense, Horizon:FW looks fantastic; so it seems that they are doing cross gen right at least; not like M$. But I am still a bit dissapointed.

I bet Sony will show later some gameplay footage of FW on PS5, in order to shut down the negativity.

When that rumor hit i was reported for suggesting HFW was a cross gen game with a cancelled PS4 version. Apparently suggesting such a thing was unthinkable and borderline sacrilege at the time lol.

The issue isn’t graphical fidelity. The game can look drop dead gorgeous. 

(Taking a page of the PS console wars book)

It’s about the core game being built around the base PS4. The game won’t truly take advantage of PS5s potential. Sure it will look better and load times will improve, but ultimately it’s a base Ps4 title improved for the current gen. At least...that was the message hammered into my brain by all too many PS fans regarding Xbox cross gen titles. 

Definitely, people here are so desperate to find the next gen sauce in the games announced. It will be funny to see how "degraded" the last gen versions will be
