I hope with the PS5's "backwards compatibility support" that they will give us the ability to transfer save files from our PS4 consoles over to the PS5....................especially for #BacklogSquad, that wants a PS5 but still has the PS4 backlog heavy on they shoulders
I think that's a given and with cloud saves it will be easy.
I can honestly say I had a better overall experience and more fun on PS3 era compared to PS4 era.
I think the major reason was because the console battle between XBOX 360 and PS3 era was just intense and pushed better games and competition overall.
This gen with Sony dominating this whole era Sony has gotten a little complacent and played it safe even though they still deliver great story mode exclusive games. But games like Gran Turismo Sport really just fell off hard and just doesn't feel like how GT was in it's prime with GT3 on PS2 and GT5 on PS3 which I put in so many hours into those games.
I dunno about complacent. All I see is improvement in both Hardware and Software
They're he only ones who cared about VR in the console space and got their studios to make games for it. That's a lot more ambitious than the PS move and Wonderbook and it was the same price as the console at launch.
They began streaming games through PS Now and Remote Play long time before anyone else.
Their first party delivered more this gen than last. The quality has increased immensely. A lot of the studios were given the chance to do something else or go big and every year has had hit after hit in terms of sales or critical reception for both normal and VR games. They've come a long way since this.
Even the non 1st party exclusives were on point too.
GT Sport did what it set out to do very well. Its the best online SIM racer on console and with actual competitions governed by the FIA. It wasn't GT7 but i admit the messaging wasn't the best and it was barebones too at launch but thats not an issue anymore
If they can make the next installment the best of both worlds with the meaty single player and the online as it is now or even improved on the PS5 then everyone will be happy.
Only thing this gen I will criticize Sony on is variety especially the latter part of this gen. Not that it's lacking now but they just had more variety last gen with PS3 and Vita IMO.
VR seems to be where the new and innovative experiences are but as much as I love VR it's not as accessible.
Sony first devs like sucker punch honestly didn't deliver this console gen with Infamous second son which was a big let down. Guerilla games gets a pass because HZD was a great game but Killzone Shadow Fall was pretty weak.
I enjoyed Second Son and First Light a lot but lets see what Sucker Punch can do with Ghosts
Guerilla delievered with HZD and RIGS, Naugthy Dogs delievered with Uncharted 4, Lost Legacy and TLOU 2 is on it;s way. Sony Bend did well with Days Gone. Santa Monica did good with GOW, Japan studios did good with Gravity Rush 2, Astrobot and Bloodborne with Fromsoftware. San Diego keep cranking out MLB and it's always outselling the previous year's version
