The dust has settled. The Playstation 4 has been announced. What has it taught us about the future of gaming?
"The Bristol-based (the UK) indie games publisher Auroch Digital and indie games developer Positech Games, today announced with great happiness and thrill that their hit-political title "Democracy 4: Console Edition", is coming to consoles (PS4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores on June 5th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, offering 60fps gameplay and 4K resolution. But it's bad news if you claimed the game on PS Plus.
Probably won't happen for PS+ since Sony makes a clear distinction between a PS4 game and a PS5 game, unlike PC and Xbox where it is not a specific device game (It's now always an Xbox game).
So to make the PS5 game of fallout 4 available. Bethesda would need to renegotiate the complete deal with Sony.
hence why there's often only the PS4 version of the game available on PS+.
Let's hope Bethesda and Sony can arrive to term quickly.
In that same link, they talked to further support who said PS+ owners aren’t eligible. What a load of BS! The upgrade worked just fine for FF7R. I was looking forward to this. 😞
PS5 upgrades for PS4 games on PS+ are hit and miss. The reason is usually that publisher doesn’t want to hand out free upgrades. Sometimes they offer the upgrade upfront, sometimes they are bullied into it, and sometimes they offer it later in a special edition that Sony buys for PS+. It looks here like Bethesda’s intent was to raise the profile of Fallout 4 (and sell some DLC) so I expect we will see an update for PS+ versions soon.
Roughly a fiver for disc. It's also £3.99 on PSN right now for both PS4 and ps5 version.
This article is funny. They tell you that $35 is a good deal for this game...We know whose side they are on.
I learned that i'll be buying a ps4 at launch along with killzone, watch dogs, & knack.
It taught me that Sony made a super strength from last gen's weakness, RAM.
It taught me that Sony isn't done with Microsoft, not yet..
And it showed me that as a grown man i am still able to
clap my hands and cheer like a crazy school girl over the power and promise of a console.
I learned that Sony is still King
I learned it has power, a great controller and that I can pee my pants when I get really excited :)
