This game was being developed alongside The Last of Us Part 2. Of course of it being on the PS4 would make sense, especially for a multiplayer game.

Ugh PlayStation need to get away from this idea that they need to be in more places.....

Cut the PS4 and also PC, people buy consoles knowing that the last one will be obsolete, the generation has lagged enough already.... don't need to cater to last gen and low grade PC's and a wide variety of GPU's and other setups..

Make the most of a closed platform.

At this point, if I were vastly richer, I'd be GPD Win4'ing my PS5 on Remote Play from the bus, shooting fools on PS4 TLOU:R Factions Multiplayer.

I am really wondering how many of those 12 gaas games are Ps5 or next gen only. They have been really quiet on telling us anything about their gaas games

Uh, this just kills the hype for me. Awful news if true. PS4 will hold it back

Is rather it be PS5 And if they need to reach others, PC even. Fucking leave PS4 behind now

Pretty sure 1st party has another cross gen game too….

Cant think of another time where PS made a cross gen 1st party game 3 years after release. Especially for a major game.
We believe in Generations quote is becoming embarrassing now.

It uses TLOUII engine that is indeed PS4 based.
ND didn’t show any PS5 engine/game yet… TLOU Part I uses TLOUII engine.

Bryan, last I checked, both PS4 AND PS5 are closed platforms.

This is an online game. It will live or die by player count. Limit it to one platform out of a possible three, and you’re cutting 2/3 of your possible player base.

In spite of your insecurities about Sony making games for more than one platform, this is a case where it is the smartest possible move.

Would be disappointed but not surprised, it is what it is at this point.

No reason not to trust naughty dog either way

I'm mostly fine with the online games being on PC too but I don't want things held back at all.

This game will be big for few weeks then people will go back to fortnite and warzone.
Doubt that very much. It may not have been as big as fortnite or Warzone but factions has had a strong following for many years, till this day you can find a game easily, shit even UC4 mp is still alive and going. All Sony first parties are seeing tremendous sales boosts e.g. God of War and if done right this can be a monster for PS. I see this game having longevity whether it's ftp or not.

We shall see.

Well it's a QA Tester role doesn't mean much, I'm sure even if it was just QA on PS5 they'd be open to QA experience on PS4

GaaS games will definitely come out day and date on PC alongside console.

And plenty of rotten apples out there will use the opportunity to spread propaganda the moment the announcement confirms this.

Wouldn't be surprised, in fact I'm expecting it. I'll be pleased if it's current gen only.
