Best Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 That's what I like to hear. True next gen and not optimizing for last gen. I look forward to seeing footage of this. I'm pretty sure it will look stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Guess it makes sense that it's cross gen. They aren't going to turn their back on all of those millions upon millions of ps4/xbox consoles. Still disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 The trouble with it being cross gen is that if the game really is taking advantage of next gen hardware, and really making great advances for the franchise, the old gen might be severely hampered and downgraded to the point that it's basically unplayable, and no one will want to play it, leading to low sales of those versions, and pretty much being a waste of time, money, and other resources that EA could have spent elsewhere. On the flip side, if the game runs great on the old hardware, then we'll be left wondering how much the game was held back, and how much better it could have been if it had been next gen only. It's a no win situation. Should just be next gen only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Rumors are the game was built for next gen and the last gen versions are gonna be rough. Also the multiplayer might not even be cross gen due to the versions being so different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 They could just have the current gen be one studio working on it and then another studio works on trying to make it work on last gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Sometimes I'd say not doing last-gen is leaving money on the table (RE8 is selling better on PS4 in Europe over all platforms except the PS5, which accounts for half of all sales), but looking at sales of Miles Morales, as an example, shows that many people will just wait to play the next-gen version. Dunno how Sackboy fares since it's more family fare and kids may not notice as much, but 720p on PS4 is a bit too much for a game I'd buy nowadays that wasn't made a long time ago.

Mr.Vic20 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 The "true" start to this generation will be delayed until sometime in 2022, so this doesn't surprise me. Yes, select 1st party titles will defy that last statement but they be in the vast minority. for most developers, true next gen starts with things like UE5 games built from the ground up. So for now, next gen just means bigger budgets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a no win situation. Should just be next gen only. Battlefield V played just fine on last gen consoles, it just wasnt very good. I honestly don't know how much "bigger" the game could get. Some of those maps were huge, barren landscapes and were really fuckin boring. EA still wants to go with "bigger is better" when tons of fans are calling for a Bad Company 3, the sequel to a fan favorite game that had smaller, tighter maps. I really don't think EA is in touch with reality anymore. I don't have high hopes for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason too for at least 2 years lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sure it ran fine on them because it was designed for those machines. If Battlefield 6 is designed for the PS5 and XBSX to take advantage of the leap in tech the PS4 and XBone will suffer because they won't be able to keep up, and to get them to work well they'll have major sacrifices (things like 48 players instead of 64, 720p, 30 fps, no single player (not that anyone cares about single player), etc.). Battlefield 4 came out on the 360 and PS3 when it came out with the launches of the PS4 and XBone, but it was by far the inferior version.
