Resident Evil 4 Remake, initially announced for next-gen only, will also come to PS4

- Start date
Good question. I think only PSVR2 is confirmed for this game so unless PS4 supports PSVR2 then I doubt it.
We don’t want cross gen features .

Problem is that (1) publishers probably don't want cross-gen to end and (2) If you ignore the SSDs, PS5 and Xbox Series are just super powerful last gen consoles (still on x86 AMD) so as long as they don't do any radically different level design etc that absolutely needs those fast SSDs, they could conceivably keep going with cross-gen for many more years to come.
This is just me armchair engineering manager-ing it but surely developing for PS4 and PS5 simultaneously (again assuming you don't do any whacky SSD stuff beyond fast load times) is much easier than developing for PS3 and PS4 simultaneously because you're going x86 -> x86 as opposed to Cell processor ->x86.
It makes sense that publishers will keep putting out cross-gen games until the financial costs outweigh the benefits (ie so few people buy the PS4 version that it's not worth it, or some other publisher decides to go all in with current gen tech and then a video game tech "arms race" finally gets going).

You understand that not every remake is TLoU Part1 remake right? An actual remake like FF7Remake would benefit greatly from a current gen only release. No, it is not just “a graphic downgrade” as this is not a RE4 remaster.

Get used to it. Very likely the PS4 see’s continued support through this generation. And I mean for major releases.

I couldn't watch the RE4 bit yet, do they give any details about changes? I'm guessing it will be quite changed from the originals like 2 and 3 Remake, based on the announcement trailer where all the dialogue seemed to be implying that. I quite like the RE8 shop stuff, perma-buffs from fishing and hunting little side things that meant re-exploring all areas was worthwhile, on top of the treasure/gold you got from going back + killing the extra minibosses.
I replayed 3 Remake and 8 like 15 times each because of that system among other things but with 2 Remake I didnt feel the drive to replay it as much because of having to go through the same motions over and over with no shortcuts and no extra inventory space to make avoid a bit of backtracking, like not having to plan ahead with the item box for picking up the grenade launcher in the sewers in 3R. I'd like to have that same drive from 4 Remake, doesn't have to be the same system, can be different, but I just want a fun power journey and shortcuts on replay (which I acknowledge is more difficult in 4 since its so linear, if you get an item early it would skip areas+encounters entirely which I wouldn't want) after that initial fun-in-different-way tense first and 2nd (Hardcore) run.
I'm still super excited if it doesn't have those things but I'm more likely to only beat it once or twice if its "the same" everytime you run through it, especially since its so long. Although I'm sure there will be things cut for pacing just like 2 and 3 Remake.
Something is wrong with my brain, I read this as "You will never escape orgasm". Get Freud on the ghost-phone!

I honestly wouldnt be surprised if we are still getting SOME cross gen games at the end of this gen. In fact that could be the way gaming is going.

No problem, new gen is only 4K/HDR.

That PS4 userbase is still very active. It won't die off until the PS5 is readily available. Most people I know are still on PS4. Og model, not even pro.

I don't mind, but man, I do look forward to only next gen titles.

Being exclusive to current gen was never going to magically make it look better, it'll still have the super-fast loading and superior performance current gen games typically enjoy. The real worry is that they might cut content to fit the game on PS4, which based on interviews is potentially what happened with Village.

Or it could be they don't want to miss out on that 120 million install base. Just sayin

The PS360 install base was almost 200 million by the time PS4 and X1 launched.Or it could be they don't want to miss out on that 120 million install base. Just sayin
PS2, GC and Xbox were 200 million.
They all had no issues leaving those install bases behind. The only difference now is that the devs are lazy, risk averse and unambitious, and publishers are greedier.

We actually got around 2 years of cross gen games with XB1/PS4, and when cross gen was dropped its not like game graphics suddenly shot up levels.
Cross gen will def be a lot longer with this gen though compared to last.

Its actually a bit of irony that people have been championing 60fps this gen (rightly so as framerate should be no.1), but the fact next gen games are nearly all 60fps is the reason why cross gen is going to last as long as it is.
If we were getting 30fps Series/PS5 games, it would probably be a real struggle getting them ruinning on XB1/PS4 at a respectable quality.

Who cares?
People could literally play a PS5-only game, be blown away and praise the next-gen experience. Then, the game gets a previous generation port a year later, and they suddenly can only remember their experience as being completely unimpressive and dated.
They could make a PS4 version for any game released on PS5 or Series X from the entire gen. Hell, I'm sure they could do a PS3 or 360 version too if they were financial incentives to do so.

Oh of course, I'm only looking at this from my selfish perspective of a Series X and PS5 owner who wants to see my purchases promises take effect already.
It's good of course from a consumer stand point that more people can play these titles, especially with Sony stupidly raising prices in the middle of a cost of living crisis.

Xbox One has been discontinued for 2 years, while PS4 Slim is still on sale, barely, in some countries officially. Not enough for Sony to report sales numbers anymore, but enough support to still release games on it.

the kinda guy to judge graphics on the basis of whether it’s next gen exclusiveTekken 8? Best looking game ever made because it’s not coming to last gen
Horizon FW and GoW:R? Crap because it’s cross gen

Bruh. When will the ps4 just die already. It's like the ps2 all over again where publishers are still clinging onto it cuz of the huge user base
