Will Sony's cross-gen U-turn hold PS5 games back? It's the Eurogamer News Cast!
Generation dead.
There can be no doubting the big news of the week: Sony's cross-gen U-turn. It's the hot topic of discussion during this week's Eurogamer News Cast, which you can watch in the video below:
This week Sony confirmed God of War: Ragnarok, which was originally announced for a PlayStation 5 release in 2021, is delayed into next year, and will now also launch on PlayStation 4.
That's not all! Polyphony's hotly-anticipated Gran Turismo 7, which Sony had said was a PS5 exclusive, is also coming to PS4.
As you'd expect, these announcements sparked a vociferous debate, with many picking out PlayStation boss Jim Ryan's prior "... we believe in generations" quote as evidence of Sony's hypocrisy. But perhaps the more important question is this: will these PS5 games now be held back by being cross-gen on PS4?
