I guess sales weren't good enough even though https://mp1st.com/news/resp...

[badboyz09]

Same lol

[-Foxtrot]

Didn't help it had issues at launch

Guess people are starting to put their foot down Star Wars or not.

[phoenixwing]

I haven't bought it for that reason

[-Foxtrot]

Same

I just couldn't

I'll play it, obviously, it's Star Wars and I enjoyed the first one but there's plenty of games out at the minute so I'll buy it when it goes cheap.

[phoenixwing]

Same going to pick it up when it's dirt cheap. Which I wouldn't have done if it was OK performance wise

[PixelOmen]

Just at launch huh? lmao.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Doesn't it still have issues? I think it's only just gotten to a barely playable state on the Steam Deck, I think I'd worry about them getting it to run at a satisfactory level on the PS4/Xone.

I kind of wanted to get it, but after hearing all the issues people had, I didn't really want to pay for it without a deep discount.

[scorpio_2049]

I didn’t get it because of that too. Now I’m content just waiting until I can get a used copy for dirt cheap.

[jznrpg]

I’m waiting for it to be fixed on PS5. I was planning on getting it this month but I got Remnant 2 and Armored Core 6 is on the way so I may wait a little longer now. I will definitely get it at some point though

[Profchaos]

At this point I just don't think it's fixable

[Shane Kim]

What issues does it have? I played it just fine.

[ravens52]

Ok, I don't like this. Don't present a game as current gen only but then go-ahead and make it for last gen. Where are the games that can't run on last gen hardware? Lies. Wtf.

What's the point of having a PS5 or XSX!? Really annoying.

[darthv72]

Just an FYI... there is no game currently that cant be made to run on previous hardware. The main upgrade that 9th gen offers is fidelity. All the finer details, ray tracing reflections/shadows... it all adds to the fidelity. Resolution and framerate are not the end all be all that people make them out to be.

So... there is no reason this game cant come to last gen. Its just a sequel to the previous. It wont have the same fidelity but it certainly can run on last gen.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

It might run badly like the attempt to run some high performance games on the Switch, it hasn't run the best on the Steam Deck. The Steam Deck is somewhere between the base & Pro versions of a PS4 in terms of performance, so I don't see this game running well unless they can make some more performance improvements.

[Rainbowcookie]

Darth I don't think that is fully true. Id like to see Ratchet Clank ps5 run on a ps4...not gonna happen. It's not just fidelity.

[Amplitude]

Man this is gonna be a funny one on par with those massive Switch ports that just don't work. Gonna guess something like 480p reconstructed and an unstable 30fps hovering around 25.

@darthv72
There's quite a lot of games released for PS5 that absolutely would never in a million years work on the PS4 without some major changes that would majorly change the game, but there's very very very few. Ratchet, Returnal, The Horizon DLC.
I'm not some weirdo Playstation fanboy but with the Series S' existence, it is legitimately only the top notch Sony exclusives lol. The architecture between the two machines are extremely similar to one another (both consoles are basically custom designed SOC PCs), most games get a PC release, PC releases *need* to be scalable to lower hardware, and thus you can then usually scale down a PS5 game to play on a PS4, albeit looking and playing worse or even unplayable depending on your tolerance.

The point of having a PS5 or XSX is simply because you want to play games at a steady framerate, a higher resolution, better graphics all around, better audio, etc. It's not like the PS4 version of Star Wars is gonna be the exact same game as PS5 lol there's gonna be some hilarious cuts for this and i'm stoked to see how they do it.

[neomahi]

Was thinking the very same thing. That's not good. But it'll also tell the differences we're seeing in PS5/PS4 and especially Xbox One development that isn't going anywhere anytime soon and will also show the quality of effort EA are putting into their next gen games, if any, so we'll have a clear distinction.

I'm actually happy to see this be the last Star Wars exclusive game from EA. Don't get my wrong, I love exclusives because it shows the might of a developer when their attention isn't divided, but it's EA we know we don't get jack from half the time anyway and I don't know why people continue to go to them but, honestly, I think it's time for fans to take up a petition to send to the NFL and free up Madden. If MLB can take away The Show from Sony and force a Sony owned and funded development studio to make games for Xbox and Nintendo, then NFL can free up competition for NFL licensing allowing Visual Concepts to get back into the game as well as NHL. The move from EA to Ubisoft is a great move for Star Wars and we no longer have to read: "Star Wars Battlefront EA" We're not seeing "Star Wars Outlaws Ubisoft", come on ......

[neutralgamer1992]

Bottom line is this:

If publishers are having to pay for development on Xbox series S than a last generation version is already made. It’s not the last generation that’s holding us back it’s the series S and MS parity clause. If that parity clause is not enforced many games would simply not release on series S or release via cloud only

What good is 12TF and 10TF next generation consoles if a 4TF console is holding everything back anyways. The only difference between a digital online and a disk drive console is just that

“Disk drive” all other specs should be 100% the same and IMO that digital only should also sell for the same price but include extra storage

Game has become so big and so profitable that our hobby is being run by suits who never played any games besides maybe candy crush and they only care about profits. The more money gaming makes the more suits will take over companies

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

A lot of multiplatform games that release on PC run on hardware with a greater hardware power disparity than the PS5/Series X and Series S.

[darthv72]

hmm... maybe using the PS4/XBO version in back compat mode on PS5/SX will give it the performance boost it has been needing?

[Tacoboto]

Ah, the Elden Ring approach to optimization.

[FullmetalRoyale]

My man.

[VersusDMC]

Ha! That's how i played elden ring as well. PS4 version on PS5 had the best framerate. Hopefully PS5 armoured core 6 is 60...

[neutralgamer1992]

Full

Lol

[Vengeance1138]

Maybe try fixing the current gen performance issues before trying to tackle ancient hardware next?

[ClayRules2012]

“No release windows have been provided as development is in the early phase.“Wow, this is a surprise. I was not expecting anything like this to happen.

🤔 I have many questions…lol. I kind find my words though haha.

[-Foxtrot]

Oh for f*** sake guys...MOVE ON

Leave last gen behind

You all bitched about not having more power, better specs and so on yet now you have them you still pander to last gen consoles rather than moving forward.

[ClayRules2012]

Exactly. Is this going to become a thing studios do?

Head of development being interviewed said this “You’ll experience the benefit of the more powerful hardware throughout Survivor” he said. Bottom line, we learned quickly that we could take advantage of the faster processors, larger, faster memory, better loading times etc. To create much larger maps with more detail, greater density, broader enemy/NPC variety, and overall fidelity” he continues with more “We didn’t want to break what we did in the first game because it was well received, but we wanted to evolve/enhance the experience. This new generation allowed us to do exactly that, and I believe it translates to a true new-gen in the Star Wars experience.”

A game is announced as “Cross Generation” which sucks, although with some like Ragnarok, Miles Morales we got to awesome games, although I would’ve preferred them to be PS5 exclusives. But now, here we have what was announced and did release as a Next Generation/Current Gen only game, I just don’t know.

How they’ll manage to get it to run well on those older consoles will be something. Time and money would be better spent investing/improving your engine and working towards the future of these more powerful/faster consoles, which the devs as you said have complained and wanted for years now, and they’ve got it.

[Lightning77]

Lies and PR. Yes even Sony MS lied saying these are 8th gen machines. No they're not, they're iterations like the Pro and 1X with a SSD in it hitting 4k with more games going 30fps.

The next PS6 and Xbox aren't next gen so it's best we don't sip that koolaid this time around when that time comes.

[Profchaos]

Money talks if the sales suck on last gen then don't experience this practice to continue

If it doesn't then it's disappointing

[ZwVw]

Why are you surprised? Most companies couldn't care less about power or specs (higher dev cost), that's just an excuse for them to raise current game prices. Especially with Switch titles like TotK and MK 1 retailing for $69.99.

All they care about is your money.

[dumahim]

I can just imagine the peoples heads at DF exploding. I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in their last direct that it still hasn't been cleared up. Not sure if that was console, PC or both. It's going to be fun hearing their reactions to this next week.

[goldwyncq]

What's next? FFXVI on PS4?

This console generation is a massive joke.

[shinoff2183]

Ea is just a greedy ass company let's be honest.

[Tacoboto]

It's suspicious that this gets a last-gen port, but Dead Space Remake doesn't.

Port the game built for current gen that struggles to run on current gen, but not the two-gen old remake...

[JackBNimble]

Yes let's be honest here. I get that EA is a shit company, I'm certainly no fan. But calling out publishers for being greedy just seems retarded.

If publishers don't make profits then they won't make games and your whole pointless existence will have no meaning.
Gamers want awesome AAA games but not from the greedy companies.

Lol ... dumbest argument anyone could have.

[P_Bomb]

Last gen just won’t die.

[anast]

This thing is going to look great...

[ClayRules2012]

Oh most definitely…as visually impressive and amazing as Halo Infinites showcase.

[anast]

That showcase was "stunning."

[ClayRules2012]

So “stunning” It was a thing of beauty, showcasing Microsoft’s Next Gen consoles remarkable POWER😁

[dumahim]

and run even better.

[FullmetalRoyale]

The condition in which it launched turned me off to the whole thing. It'll eventually come to EA Play, I'll play it then. Bs doesn't get a penny from me.

[badboyz09]

bruh the game is currently broken on current gen systems what in the hell.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I think we're going to have another Cyberpunk on our hands when it gets it's previous gen release, this decision baffles me.

[AngainorG7X]

It never ends

[Lightning77]

I thought this was current gen only? So I guess EA lied? The fact this game couldn't hit 60fps on current gen despite delaying it and giving it more time since their are last gen versions. This is a very questionable generation, VERY questionable.

[2moda5gamer]

It doesn't even run properly on current gen, lmao.

[TripleCs]

This has really been one weird generation.. These devs just don't wanna let last gen go. I swear if it wasn't for the fact that I had my PS5 gifted to me by my then gf at that time I wouldn't be gaming on current gen. I would have just stuck with the PS4 Pro and just waited it out for the slim. I have a crap ton of current gen games and literally every PS5 game I have besides R&C Rift Apart and Demon Souls are on the PS4 🤦‍♂️

[ZeekQuattro]

Canceled and then uncancelled for last gen. lmao

[Demetrius]

Wouldn't be surprised if GTA 6 is PS4/xbone gen, destroy all human devs did the same thing too, tf is going on there only a couple a good games that actually pushed last gen hardware now it's the same thing all over again there will be few actual next gen titles, I haven't played star wars survivor yet soon I will it does look fun

[CobraKai]

That’s good. Better to build a current gen game first and downgrade later.

[Profchaos]

It's doesn't run all that great on ps5/ xsx buckle up this is going to get rough

[Extermin8or3_]

Erm it has issues running on the new consoles lol nevermijdnlast gen.

[StarkR3ality]

Barely runs on Series X and PS5, fuck me.

[ravens52]

Ok, I don't like this. Don't present a game as current gen only but then go-ahead and make it for last gen. Where are the games that can't run on last gen hardware? Wtf.

[aaronaton]

More shite news from EA, they're on a roll today! If they carry on with this, MS might come in with a bid.

[thesoftware730]

I don't see why everyone is so mad about this, literally, most games can be made on PS4 and Xbox One. They will look worst, load slower, and have the worst FPS, but they can be made.

It's just like a PC, I'm experiencing that right now, my laptop has a GTX 1650 and my Desktop has a 3080TI, but my laptop runs many games, just with a lot of effects turned off.

This has been the case since the PS4 Pro, and the One X, and that worked well for both companies, it's to the point where older GPUs can run anything with enough dev effort, and the architecture is not that different as it was in the older days of PS2 to PS3. Going forward it will only be "Upgraded capabilities", Faster loading, ray tracing, and higher FPS, which you will always be able to run on slower machines with lowered features.

Man, you guys will be disappointed if the rumored PS5 pro is real, because it will be the same deal and I can assure you the next console's( PS6 and Series ) games will be able to run on PS5 and SX.

[Einhander1971]

Probably pick it up on PS5 when it's dirt cheap. With regards to PS4 version no doubt it will be cut back here and there but its still the same game. To much emphasis & obsession with 4k 60fps.

[Fonsecap]

I think it's a good game, just waiting for a good discount for pc...
