    For what it's worth I think that's Ridiculous. If they can make and sell the game on a nintendo switch then it should be playable on old gen consoles too.

    I think my favorite thing about the push for next gen only was people comparing the graphics of other next gen only sports games like CFB25 and saying that if PS4/Xbone were cut out we could get that, only to turn around and say graphics aren't everything once they showed us the game would look the same anyway

    I do not think „ridiculous“ is a nice way to express feedback. My suggestion is: Stop complaining, MLBTS will not return to old-gen

    It's not fair that I had to upgrade from my Commodore 64. Poor people should be able to play all the newest games without having to buy anything.

    @YOSHI24_XBL I think you missed my point. If they are going to cut off old gen then so be it...Doesn't really affect me I have a pc a playstation a xbox and a switch. My point was If you are going to cut off the old gen don't stop at playstation and xbox cut off the switch too. Either do it, or don't. But don't do it half way. The old gen consoles are more capable than the switch anyways and it's a better gameplay experience. So this decision seems to fly in the face of logic and reason. There. Is that descriptive enough feedback for you?

    Ive said it before and ill say it again...people wont change until they're forced to change. If companies stopped making advancements in technology because you don't have the money or you don't feel like spending it, we'd all still be using flip phones and gaming on Colecovision.

    The fact that they didn't make this for ps4 and you can't play it isn't an error on their part. Its an error on yours.

    Man, when I upgraded to the Commodore 128, I got the 1mb expansion, and hooked up dual double sided disc drives, that was awesome. I kind of miss those days. It’s kind of like comparing todays automobile engines to the ones back then…they were so much easier to work on.

    Nowadays, you upgrade from the PS4 to the PS5, and you're not actually sure what the upgrades are. Games don't look significantly better, they definitely don't run significantly better, and in the case of the PS5, you don't even have much in the way of actual games! Honestly, the only real benefit for SDS to cut out last gen was slightly faster load times and MINOR performance gains on SOME stadiums

    The ps4 is infinitely more capable than that little nintendo switch that they are still selling copies of their game for 60$ on. What they should do is just create a seperate entity like a mobile version of the game with it's own visual assets. That way you can still cater to older consoles and switch markets but you are not holding back the development of the current gen version. Similar to how call of duty does it. It's a win win really. More player options for us and more revenue for them.

    such as?

    Considering there are games on that list that wont be out until 2026 or later, you can add :

    Mafia : The Old Country
    Assassins Creed Shadows
    GTA6
    Metal Gear Solid Delta : Snake Eater
    Max Payne 1 and 2 remakes
    Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic remake
    Splinter Cell remake
    PGA Tour 2k25
    Mortal Kombat 1
    Helldivers 2
    Baldurs Gate 3
    Split Fiction
    Monster Hunter Wilds
    Forza Horizon 5
    Indiana Jones and The Great Circle
    Silent Hill 2
    Kingdom Come : Deliverance 2
    Doom : The Dark Ages

    Most of these will more than likely be out before Wolverine. And these are just some of the AAA titles, not including sports games.

    Literally NONE of those games are only on PS5.

    nope. But they are all current gen so they arent on ps4 either. Which was how this topic was started. Ya know...because OP didnt wanna upgrade from the ps4. Upgrading would require a current gen console

    this is the hard truth. I had a co-worker who has a PS4 ask me if it's worth upgrading to a PS5. She knows I'm a hardcore gamer.

    I was honest w/ her and said that PS5 is pretty much a souped up PS4. Most of the games are just remakes on PS5 with better graphics and sometimes better FPS.

    But if you've already played and beaten the same game on PS4, nothing is going to be different on PS5 unless you like replaying games. The gaming experience is pretty much the same on PS5 and maybe was more enjoyable on PS4 as it was your first time playing that title.

    $500+Paying for internet on top of paying for internet (Just to play one game) is in fact, expensive within context. Just because you can afford something doesn't exactly mean you should buy it.

    @Jayseearr_PSN I got the point and Switch is currently the best Nintendo system … They only left old gen behind. Other than that: Still the same. This debate leads to nothing, they won‘t come back

    MLB is making them make it for switch.
