I mean, spider-man 2 and FF7 Rebirth haven't been bad. No ps4 versions either.

2 games to be fair, I know there are exclusives but they are few and far between.

Yea I feel the lag of PS4 has definetly dragged on way too long. They say devs make more money when theybsell on the larger install base but they also prevent the install base of ps5 from growing by selling to the ps4 base as well. You want the new game woth all the new graphics? Get the new console.

Instead game features must cater to the lowest hardware denominator.

That's particularly bad for Xbox and their policies.

Microsoft was dumb to make a console with last gen power (series S) then firce all series X games to release for the S. They stifled their gaming power this gen by doing that.

Yeah they could have locked God of War Ragnarok to ps5. Pushed it to be a showpiece for what the console is capable of. Same with Forbidden West. They could have even put ps5 only exclusive additions to games like GTAV did with first person view.

Really disappointing console, probably the last I will buy.
