The messaging would have been better as the angle of "10 USD for upgrade" would not have crept in at all. Why would they ask PS4 players to pay $30 (same as PS5) if they are not getting:- 4k Dynamic resolution Better Assets 3D audio Real-time rerendered Cutscenes Duelsense features SSD benifits Would have been unfair to them Sony is in no mood to be generous this gen that’s for sure But they can’t be blatant robbers either Edited July 2, 2021 by AnK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have PS4 game, want DLC and PS5 enhancements, Haptics - $30 I wonder how much it will be here. I want to play the DLC and not interested in the PS5 stuff as I don't have one.

If they had just launched the extra stuff as expansion or a shortened game (like Miles Morales), 30 USD price tag doesnt sound so bad. This is completely different island and as others pointed out, possible different story lines and stuff to do. Its the carving out of that 10 USD bit that has made the whole discussion emerge. Sony could have just released the DLC at 30 and a week/month later, just released those enhancements as free. "In my opinion", that is a much better message, while making the same amount of money.

Messaging is only important for useless debates & cribbing what they are doing is actually practical keeping in mind the benefits each version is getting They should be generous towards the PS5 audience & not loot the PS4 ones by what you are suggesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know both PS5 and PS4 owners are getting looted (or not). They will make their money... as they should. But, I am talking about balancing things. Anyways, if PS4 owners think that by this method they are saved from being looted, then I guess thats also a kind of PR victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radicaldude Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 You can't "loot" a person if he's not willing to pay. It's not as if sony is forcing people to buy this. Paying for games is not a sin. And not evryone would offer their intellectual properties on a platter for everyone to taste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest it’s clearly evident that ppl make much hue & cry in PS threads I was the only one who was pointing out & feeling looted by EA in BF2042 thread those guys are offering the next gen upgrade for $40 & apart from the next gen improvement there is only cosmetics in that package In that thread ppl actually came up to me & explained how I am “saving” money Here you are getting full expansion add-on story campaign & you can fully play that at 60fps on PS5 for $20 but ppl are explaining how messaging is wrong & they should have looted the PS4 buyer’s instead (like what EA is doing) Edited July 2, 2021 by AnK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck I think $20 is a lot, but I mostly buy fighting game DLC where $20 gets you a season pass with 4 characters, stages, music tracks, costumes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know what is so confusing and misleading. If there was no option to play Ghost Of Tsushima(or Addons) on PS5 without the paywall What he is suggested would have been valid But what he is implying in the tweet is false info -Sony is not forcing anyone to pay again this time like what happened last gen due to PS3-PS4 absence of BC -You don’t have to spend whole MRP again like a fresh buyer if you want upgrades hence his statement of buying same game over & again is misleading Edited July 2, 2021 by AnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, not the first time that happened. Lets drop it. No need to draw it out. peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
