So it is okay for Sony to buy Insomniac which keeps the Spider-Man games and PS exclusives and broker deals where PS players have it better in COD on their systems, but MS keeping two games from Bethesda as exclusives is forbidden? If the deal is blocked, Sony is screwed. This frees up almost $70 Billion for Microsoft to use to get exclusivity rights that make Sony's deals look like nothing. And before anyone comes at me as an MS fanboy, I could care less about console wars. I have all three systems and don't care where the games are. I would like to see the acquisition go through because I think MS would do a better job of managing the studios over what Bobby has been allowing to happen.
@Intr1n5ic correct, I would have not had a problem with them making people pay to play part 1 on the PS5. The expectation would be there for all the parts to be on the PS5 at that point. With them releasing part 1 of Final Fantasy 7 on the PS4 the fans had an expectation for the other parts to be on PS4. It would be different if they released all of a remade FF7 on PS4 and then put a fully remade FF8 on PS5.
Is the Telltale part really ridiculous? Please explain. Like the Telltale games, The remade FF7 is being released in parts. Did people who bought the PS4 version of FF7 Remake get the full story? No, they got part of it and are now being told that to finish it they have to buy a completely new machine.
@OrtadragoonX I get that argument but at the same ti e then then they should have made part 1 a PS5 exclusive. Don’t give PS4 owners hope that they will get the full game and then leave the other 2 thirds of the game on a system they do not own. Again, this is different than something like the Ratchet and Clank series where you get the next game in the franchise on the PS5 only. Players were gIven an incomplete story on the PS4 and have to shell out $400 to $500 to complete that story.
This is one instance I think they are screwing the fans by not making a PS4 version. They started the story on the PS4 and should give those that have not bought a PS5 the option to continue the story. To be clear, I am not saying sequels to established franchises need to be on the older consoles, it this is a different case. This is like releasing a single book in three parts but making you purchase an ebook reader to finish the story after allowing you to read the first part in hard copy.
It is not too complicated, but when you get use to the absolutely seamless simplicity that is MS Smart Delivery, everything else seems like a hassle.
(Don’t bother to @ me. I have a PS5 and a Series X. I don’t care about the cults of personality around any company, I just go where the games are and play everything.)

Re: Naughty Dog Reflects on How The Last of Us: Part I Honors the Original
I may pick it up on deep discount, but I have already bought it and beat it on both PS3 and PS4 so there isn't a major draw for me to pay full price.
