PlayStation 5 – can we expect cross-gen exclusives at launch?

Right now, there’s not a lot we know about the PlayStation 5. Aside from the fact it has an SSD, can boot big games up in a jiffy and has some ray tracing tech inside (here’s a rundown of specs), Sony has yet to really reveal its next gen system to the public.

Yes it will have cross gen exclusives.With the success of the PS4, the PS5 will definitely have the advantage. I see it winning the console war next generation.

_SilverHawk_1838d ago (Edited 1838d ago )

I'm quite sure we'll have some cross gen games but I dont want a situation like the Nintendo switch where 90 percent of the games are old games ported on the switch. I'd definitely like a the last of us 2 and death stranding made for the ps5 but sony will need to move majority of their development efforts towards the ps5.

Welshy1838d ago (Edited 1838d ago )

It's far too late for some of the games to switch development platform focus. More realistically I'd say the games slated for PS4 release within 6 months to a year of PS5 launching will probably get major updates on PS5 via backwards compatibility, similar to the 4k HDR updates that games got for the PS4 Pro but on a much larger scale.

Rude-ro1838d ago

That type of console upgrade is over.
The ps4’s game engines were mostly built for this and next gen.
They have a jump start on that, but it will be cross gen for a couple years.
Sony has already said so.
I would say at least two years before we see an exclusive for the ps5 from Sony.

Do you get a trophy for winning console wars?

NarutoFox1838d ago (Edited 1838d ago )

Nope just sales and reputation world wide to boost your install base

Neonridr1839d ago

Guaranteed Sony will want us to double dip with PS4 games being re-released on the PS5 with some enhancements.

deadfrag1838d ago (Edited 1838d ago )

But the PS5 is going to play PS4 games why would not just release a Patch.The backlash to Sony would be imense if the didnt Patch the PS4 versions and make people double dip.

Neonridr1838d ago

If the PS4 played PS3 games then there wouldn't have been a need for TLOU Remastered. It's money to them. I hope you are right, and that we just get a patch.

Nacho_Z1838d ago

GTA5 is always a good example, they released the same game across two generations, with upgrades, and nobody batted an eyelid we just bought it twice. Double the money for them or almost minus the cost to upgrade it.

Compare that to the possibility of Rockstar releasing a patch that upgraded the PS3 version to PS4 quality for free, not going to happen. Why would they, realistically?

@Nacho

"Compare that to the possibility of Rockstar releasing a patch that upgraded the PS3 version to PS4 quality for free, not going to happen. Why would they, realistically?"

Looking at things from a realistic point of view I would say it's because the PS4 isn't BC with the PS3. So there's really no way to patch the PS3 version to be like the PS4 version.

But assuming in another reality that the PS4 is BC with the PS3 it would be because they don't want to lose that additional revenue. Although in that case some people would just stick with the PS3 version others would double dip for the improved visuals and additional features.

Sephiroushin1838d ago

The ps4 didnt played ps3 games because the arquitecture was very different, now they are basically medium/low spec pcs

Welshy1838d ago

They didn't make people double dip on the PS4 Pro enhanced games upgrading to 4k HDR, what reason do you know that we don't that they'd change that going into PS5?

Neonridr1838d ago

come on, most games received a resolution bump and that was mostly it. the PS5 is going to offer a heck of a lot more advantages over the PS4/Pro. You can be sure there will be a PS5 version of TLOU2 for example. The question will be that if I purchase the PS4 version and then upgrade to a PS5, will I get any enhancements via a patch? Or will I have to buy the PS5 version, because you know there will be one.

Qrphe1838d ago

I think this will happen. The PS5 will play PS4 games but it'll do so without enhancements. There are plenty of PS4 games that aren't enhanced on the PS4 Pro after all. You'll be able to buy the regular PS4 game and play it on the PS5 or an enhanced version that they might release along the way. Just look at FFVIII, you can either buy the PSone classic or the 2019 enhanced version.

If they can have PS4 Pro enhancements, there's no reason they can't have PS5 enhancements as well seeing as how they'll be backwards compatible

CrimsonWing691838d ago

Won't the PS5 play PS4 games? So why in the world would we need cross gen exclusives?

traumadisaster1838d ago

Times are different now than when ps4 remasters of ps3 hits sold well. We are in the age of giving consumers lots of free games, this is much different than in the past.

Game pass upgraded up to 36 months of Xbox live service for free, monthly free games by epic store Sony and MS have become the norm.

Sony would win minds of consumers by giving free ps5 upgrades in the launch window. From a business perspective it’s leaving money on the table from double gen dips, but you make a generation long consumer by making them happy up front.

This game on ps5 pro is gonna rival some cgi films I reckon

purple10130d ago

good point, ps5pro will be in my price range though, and il sell it and only loose a few hundred, if I sell a £2000 gaming pc after 5 years, il loose £1000

Shiore2u30d ago

@purple101
Why would you sell your gaming PC? Unlike a console you don't have toss the whole thing to upgrade.

Hofstaderman30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Not waiting two to three years to play it.

purple10129d ago

@Shiore2u. yes another good point, but I still have 2 good points, 1, its in my price range, and 2, eventually you do have to upgrade pc's in whole,. motherboard for instance, as newer graphics cards eventually wont play nice etc. so by then parts have depreciated, a lot.

this is a situation, where two people can be right at the same time,- & I love those moments.!

wesnytsfs28d ago

@Hofstaderman, yea that part deff sucks. I think that window will be getting much shorter though after what has been coming out of Sony about PC games. Most the time I finish it on ps and then when it comes out on PC replay it on their for best expereince.

Lightning7731d ago (Edited 31d ago )

I can only think of these release windows for Ghosts. May through September assuming GTA 6 releases early October. So early September maybe even late or mid August just to be extra safe. However it won't release anywhere in Fall (because GTA). With the said it could be early February 2026 or early March of that year.

That all depends if it shows up at Sony's pro showcase or VGA's. If it does show up at those events, then expect it spring through Summer release dates. If they no show those events then early 2026.

isarai31d ago

Jim really threw a wrench in the gears of PlayStations 1st party. Almost 4 yrs since PS5 launched and not even a tease or announcement from ND, SP, Bend, or Bluepoint. I hope the rumored showcase is true cause we really need something from these studios.

outsider162431d ago

I hope they go all out in the showcase too. Like announcement from all the studios ND, SP, Bend, SantaM, Bluepoint..

P_Bomb30d ago

That’s the hope I keep clinging to. A first party free for all.

bloop30d ago

We're a few years in now and we've only had a handful of of games from their big studios and no clue as to what's coming. I think everyone's been more than patient and it's about time Sony show their hand. At this stage I don't even care if some games are 2/3 years away, just at least let us know what they're working on already. This has to be the most barren generation so far.

DarXyde30d ago

I don't disagree, but PlayStation does have a finite number of studios that are into the big production budgets.

Once you announce and drop them, it's going to take some time to reload that clip. I'm not really surprised that Sony has really not been announcing anything.

rokos30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Maybe they are operating on a 5-6 year release cycle at least that is how much time it took them between Ghost of Tsushima (2020) and their previous game Infamous: Second Son/First Light (2014). But its all rumors at this point they could show the game next month and still release it in 2026.

Wow! Here we are years later and they're still talking about this game. Nate Fox, you and your team did one heck of a job, especially with the new Assassin's Creed coming out that has the Japanese angry
