I feel like devs got the shooting mechanics down like 25 years ago, all they do now is having better and better graphics and considering the best looking CoD games came out on the ps4 and they haven't gotten any better on ps5, it makes sense for the newer release to be on ps4 too

[@andreidmny]

@@alexs_toy_barn I'm Romanian so a console here amounts to the monthly minimum wage and I still believe it's no excuse. You're paying up to $70 for a new game (not counting the $100 premium editions), $400 for a console really isn't that crazy. Last gen consoles also give you a limited experience of the game, even if the publisher decides to support it. It's really not worth clinging to the last gen.

[@FeiFongWang]

An excuse for what? Nobody who doesn't have the newest consoles is complaining and forcing game companies to make their games available to them. You're barking up the wrong tree, if you want to complain to someone complain to the money men who want to have the biggest customer base possible. And honestly, for what this newest gen is offering, spending $500 and then another $200 or so on top for a controller and some games, is pretty much an irresponsible purchase made only for the people who are most addicted to the newest games.

[@tanork47]

Not everyone has the funds to spend 500+ dollars on a entertainment hobby at once. The scalpers did not help this generation as well since it was least 2 years of people wanting to sell them for 1k each. Poor is absolutely a excuse for people but not for companies. They need to start slashing prices. Then again this generation didnt really have much good games worth upgrading anyway.

[@TurtleMan2023]

Why not the 360?

[@lukedstaten]

I've always been a console player, ever since the Xbox 360 when I was 11, then got an Xbox one. Then when I graduated high school I sold my Xbox one and bought a PS4 Slim in 2020. Last year I bought a PS5. From my experience with all this is that the new generation consoles are very worth the money and gamers will not be disappointed, but the thing is that 90% of new games are for last generation consoles. So when my ps5 is out of storage and can't download any games until I clear space, I usually just plug in my old ps4 and use it's storage to split the space. I don't think the new generation consoles are "replacing" the old generation that much, they just feel like an extension, which isn't bad, but feels underutilized

People should already be in it console prices are going sub $400

[@JakeTheHuman1]

I will say this as someone who doesn’t play COD - if the gameplay is stellar, I don’t think graphics are that important. As long as they focus on the gameplay aspect, I think it should be fine to port the game to the PS4 and XB1. It is also consumer friendly to do so. There are so many people still on the last-gen consoles (this channel reported on the stats earlier this week). The economy is tough right now. Allowing the people who haven’t spent $500 to upgrade to still play your game is a good thing… I have a PS5 and I love it. But it’s still important to lookout for those on the prior gen.

[@mikesmith145]

Gaming is a luxury so we should be getting our moneys worth boo hoo to those who are still in last gen

[@JakeTheHuman1]

@@mikesmith145 I mean, I get that sentiment. I saved my money over months and want the console to feel worth it. That said, COD is a multiplayer game that thrives on more users being able to access it. By bringing it to the prior gen, Microsoft is ensuring there will be a huge base of players for matches. All in all, the decision only seems like a win-win to me. But again, I don’t play COD. So maybe I am missing something.

[@urekmazino6800]

They shouldn't charge 70$ this gen if the majority of games are still on old gen

[@keiranleeoates]

Putting it on last gen has a lot of problems. 1. The developers now need to make sure the game is suitable for 4 different consoles now, meaning more work when they could just focus on 2. 2. It makes buying the next gen pointless as they have been out for years now and there is still no reason to even bother buying next gen. 3. It holds the games back and makes it so games can't evolve as they are now stuck still working on an old gen that has out lived it's time. It shouldn't be on last gen, and a lot of people will hate to hear it but games are a luxury not a necessity, if you don't have the money to upgrade after god know how many years have passed with old gen and the next gens life then you shouldn't be able to play the bigger newer games, it's like complaining every game on PC needs to run on a work laptop or some old outdated gaming PC from the early 2000's, if you can't get a better bigger PC the tough. That isn't to say that if companies priced their consoles at £1000 and it was dog shit as well that, thats fair, that would just be kill the product off anyway. But over all playong games is a luxury and not a necessity, there are many nice things in life people can't afford and don't have the money to do, the best you can do is save up and once you got it, save up again, have an account you can put a few pounds/dollars in and over the years it will stack up and by time the next gen rolls around you will most definitely have enough. In the end though Cyberpunk was heavily fucked because of this stuff, stop stunting games for old gen and let the natrual evolution of games happen, because in the end, holding them back just fucks them over.

I think it was black ops 3 that released on PS3 and PS4 but did it the opposite way 6 is. Instead of building it for last gen and upscaling for the current gen, they built it for the current gen and trimmed it down for the last gen versions, so the maps on the last gen versions had fewer assets around and the visuals were lower quality. I think that would be a better way to do it because it would incentivise cod fans to upgrade while not leaving them out of the new game.

the biggest problem is that this current generation of console hardware doesnt feel like a generational leap compared to previous ones. ps1 to ps2 was crazy. ps2 to ps3 also crazy, ps3 to ps4 crazy. ps4 to ps5 just feels like ps4.5. the diminishing returns of graphical fidelity arent pushing people to get the next generation console and reducing loading time to a couple of seconds on a ps5 vs 20 seconds on ps4 isnt a big enough deal to people on a stretched budget. by the time the ps6 rolls around it better have some crazy new level of technology or ull still have people clinging to the ps4.

[@inshal6420]

Im curious to see what GTA 6 does. I don’t think its console hardware limitation anymore. The problem is devs having the money and man power to make these huge games.

[@lutherheggs451]

"crazy generational" leaps are over its time to find a new hobby for the grafix whores if they think that there are going to keep being these huge graphical leaps. It was not "crazy" going from PS3 to PS4. Its time to start worrying about making games FUN to play above all else and ignore the grafix whores who think everything needs to be a visual spectacle

[@wonderstag5405]

@inshal6420 dev time creeping up to 3-7 years for each AAA game means studios will maybe only get 1 or 2 games for each console generation. I imagine that will probably mean newer bigger games will only be financially viable if they are not only cross platform but also increasingly cross generational.

I think people forget that being next gen only doesn't actually mean anything. Performance and scaling options have existed for decades.

60% of of the Xbox Community is either on XboxOneX or on P.C and half of the PlayStation Community still hasn't gotten a PS5 and judging by how things are going it's starting to slow down I mean the PlayStation 4 Pro is a gem of a console and if you compare it to the PS5 if you play them in comparisons you're going to see that there's basically a slight upgrade when it comes to the PS5 version that's how beautiful the a PlayStation 4 is and is still one of the best consoles ever made, and there's also another reason why PlayStation 5 has not seen huge growth like it should be it's because those same games that end up on PS5 especially third party games end up being the cause because they're pretty much making games still for the both the PS5 and the PS4 Pro and let's just be honest it's much cheaper to buy games on the PS4 Pro and then on the PS5 and I would say the exact same thing for Xbox because let's just be honest games on the Xbox series X are much more expensive than on the Xbox One X aswell. Also none of those gamers are interested in paying an additional $10 if those same games are also being developed for their versions of the consoles I mean fucking Battlefield 2042 has an Xbox One version and a PS4 version and are $10 cheaper to buy on last gen consoles than to buy on next-gen consoles and with rumors of Base games going to push prices to $100 it's only going to motivate people to stay on previous gen consoles until the release of the ps6 and the next Xbox. This is just the most mediocre generation of consoles I've ever seen the Xbox series X and PlayStation 5 are to me just extensions or upgraded versions of their predecessors the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro, I don't know about you but I don't really call it next gen these consoles because they're not really that powerful compared to their predecessors when it comes to visuals and power because let's just be honest the PS4 Pro is a gem of a console and it's still a gem of a console of how good it is because when you compare it with the PS5 version, the PS5 version is slightly better not really what you would call next-gen and I even said the exact same thing when comparing the Xbox One X to the Xbox series X basically the current Xbox is basically an upgraded Xbox One X.

I’m definitely in the camp that companies continuing to develop for last gen is frustrating behavior. I know how it sounds when I say this, but they should just move on and whoever wants to play the games should upgrade. We don’t see games being made for the 360 do we. The ps2? Move on for gods sake.

[@AlexanderBrown-lz4rg]

PS4 and XONE are just older versions of current gen machines. Similar to an older PC compared to a newer more current one. If the game is not heavy on the cpu it can run decent enough on PS4 with low graphics settings.

[@Rightchickenwing]

I wonder what the decision making/rationale was (if any) maybe on Xbox side it means more people potentially to get onto Gamepass. But I would have thought loads of Xbox one owners would already be on Gamepass

[@realtalkrealthingsent.8024]

Black ops 3 on Xbox 360 and ps3 were made by different company than tryarch. It looked significantly different like a bad game but it was separate. It could be possible it’s the same thing.

[@alexk9295]

Yes, let's make different versions for each platform and spend twice the money ad resources! Excellent plan.

[@jewboi3409]

I remember when a game would release on both current gen and last gen but the last gen version was always downgraded and worse and that should still be the expectation and case

[@flimsywrist3176]

Didn’t see anyone mention this, so I’ll bring it up now. You misspelled ‘consoles’, so you should probably change the title before the views go up.

[@ChicagoBulls1984]

"When you're developing for the lowest common denominator" ...that what COD is to the industry

[@firerock277]

Black Ops 3 was also on PS3, but the game was designed for PS4 and you can tell clearly, so no reason to be worried really

[@GameSlayer41781]

50% of ps players are still on ps4. This generation sucks, lots of people don't see the point in upgrading. The BR's and successful live services are keeping last gen from behind left behind.

[@ADRzone]

Or maybe the whole C19 garbage disturb people's lively hood, hence why people haven't been able to upgrade. Plus there's always that community that always wait to the end of the gen to upgrade, when the consoles go as cheap as possible. This gen by no means is the worst or bad, unless you are on Xbox, and even then, is not even close to being bad. This "bad gen" thing is pretty dumb!

[@jradk9614]

Pretty much guarantees they're using the same old engine

[@AP90x]

So just buy the $60 one instead of the $70 one?

[@jacksoncabrera7236]

I don't see the reason to buy an Xbox One now, since the series X/S exists. You might as well buy a pc.

[@captaindestruction9332]

I think your putting too much faith in to Call of Duty expanding beyond what it has. Its Call of Duty not Battlefield. Call of Duty has never been a boundary pusher or something that benefits from increased power, it just hasn't. Sure some visuals or small details have increased but if you look at most Call of Duties its a gradual increase of visuals. Now Battlefield sure I could see the issue. Basttlefield has more going on and traditionally at least with the big BF games pushes visuals and effects that old hardware would hold back or limit.

[@frankiecardona1656]

i miss my ps4 now

[@TheSoulExplorer]

Developers continue to make games for last gen because people don't want to upgrade and people don't feel the need to upgrade because developers keep making games for last gen. It's a crazy snowball effect where you can't really blame neither side.

[@JaySee-sr1yj]

not that I care much for modern COD... but they are an industry pillar and many companies follow their lead, this is bad for the progress of the industry

[@nickblood7080]

I was 20 years old. I think it’s kinda fucked to be in a call of duty game only because call of duty doesn’t respect anything anymore. If it was the company that started making call of duty games around that time…then yes but no.

[@ttt34733]

Why are people surprised though, if theirs twice the amount of ps4 owners than ps5, ofcourse games are still gonna be on ps4, all about the benjamins

[@codedniche3263]

Not twice the amount. PS said 50% of active players are still on ps4.

[@yuzurihamoon805]

Honestly I don't think PS5/XSX owners will be frustrated just because COD is not current gen exclusive. If you are looking for games that fully utilize the power of the newest hardware, you probably won't look at a competitive shooter like COD or sports games like FC anyway. This type of long-running multiplayer franchise are never known for trying crazy new stuff technology wise even if they are current-gen only. They are more about keeping a stable gameplay formula that constantly draws players in while maintaining the player base as large as possible. It's understandable that they still release the new entries on older consoles because it just works, both for the players and for the company. And if you really need to justify the money you paid for the new console, there are plenty of games that are only available for current gen already.

[@AbernathyCrimson]

I disagree. I haven’t played a 30FPS game since I got my PS5 in 2020. Everything I play now has been 40FPS, 60FPS, or 120FPS and now I understand what the PC Master Race has been saying all these years. Ray tracing and VRR is also nice. Super fast loading times. Much better controller. Blu ray player with Dolby Atmos support. I’m not sure exactly what people were expecting, but the PS5 is definitely my favorite console since PS3.

[@AP90x]

No good or innovative games. No real staple next gen experiences. 60fps and ray tracing is cool but is that all that matters? Where is a new metal gear? Where is a new gta or different rockstar game? What is naughty dog doing? Where is Santa Monica, are they just going to make god of wars? Can we get a new exciting ip? Wheres gorrilla games? Can we get a resistance game, what about some new ips? Wth are we doing?

[@AbernathyCrimson]

@@AP90x Alan Wake 2, Rift Apart, Baldur’s Gate 3, Spider-Man 2, Returnal, Gran Turismo 7, Forbidden West, and Cyberpunk Next-Gen all feel innovative to me. So, I still don’t know what people are complaining about. Resistance was never a system seller, btw. I know people have fond memories of it but Sony knows it will bomb just like the Dead Space remake that people were “begging” for.

[@AP90x]

@@AbernathyCrimson gt7 is on the ps4, cyberpunk is on the ps4, spiderman 2 didn’t do much interms of innovation, it was pretty much the same as the first just doubled in certain aspects (double the map kinda, two sm instead of 1, and you can web swing twice as fast but the swinging was still pretty much the same and fighting was the same but they added block button). And I dont think a resistance game would bomb, the unique weapons, better graphics, a solid fps that sony doesn’t have rn it would be cool but they just have to make it good and its by insomniac

It's wild to hear that people are now growing up not having lived through 9/11 given how much it's shaped so many of our lives. I remember nearly the same situation, I was playing with GI Joes in the living room when my mom and dad were watching the news and I thought they were watching an action movie, then they asked me to go to my room so I played on my PS1. I was 7. Can still remember it like it was yesterday.

[@iateapinecone9053]

You realise not everyone is American? Only a tiny fraction of people experienced 9/11, nobody in any other country gave or gives a fuck, now or 20 years ago lol
