then I’m back to square one and confused as to why the OP is treating this like a “gotcha” moment when folks have been saying it’d be on both platforms from the jump...I don’t recall a large faction of ppl thinking/claiming it was gonna be a PS5 exclusive like they did for GOW
When they first revealed the game, it was assumed it was ps5 exclusive and there was no mention of a ps4 version. Sony and the rest of us took a shyt on MS for cross gen only for a couple of years for them to announce Horizon was cross gen at a later date around the time we found out Spiderman MM was cross gen.:mjlol: They advertised GT7 as PS5 exclusive w/ PS5 exclusive on the ads only to announce a PS4 version later. Jim Ryan stressed building from the ground up and not being held back by the PS4 but that was PR Sony knew about cross gen since 2017/2018 when they started developing GOW 2 and Horizon 2:mjlol:

Some folks wanna hop aboard the stan bandwagon so fast and so hard they don't even put their seatbelts on before riding. Crash test dummies.
This is what revisionist history look like.

I agree with everything else you said outside of HFW...I don’t recall anyone on here being under any pretense it was gonna be a PS5 exclusive...I’ll check the thread and see

A lot of people assumed it was PS5 exclusive since no mention of a PS4 version was announced when they game was announced it as a PS5 game. Sony waited until Spiderman MM to announce Forbidden West was cross gen and a lot of people also assumed MM was PS5 exclusive because they never mentioned a PS4 version either. Either way, no one knew cross gen was Sony's strategy based off how they went at MS for cross gen and Jim Ryan's and other's own words about how their games are going to take advantage of the PS5 from the ground up and can't be held back by the PS4. The way they INITIALLY presented their games also gave that impression. They wait to announce cross gen why? Because they know they're full of shyt and want to push sales.

the post below is from SEPTEMBER 2020...old “news” :snooze:

this nikka made this thread like he had a new trolling point

Now that we know this game is coming to PS4 as well, I want to know how they managed to make the game look like this while cross gen because I know it can't look this good on PS4.

It seems like the PS5 version will graphically be next gen but design wise(I assume for parity) will be limited e.g. there won't be super fast flying mounts in game since the PS4 can't stream the assets fast enough.

Graphically the comparisons made a few months ago were crazy.

ya I totally get the history lesson...I remember the slight personal disappointment when it was announced MM wasn’t a PS5 exclusive...but there are already several HFW threads with ppl in those threads already talking about it not being exclusive...when I saw yet another thread, I thought dude posted something I missed

No one assumed cross gen when it was announced in June

yes june 2020 but it’s now june 2021 and it being cross gen has been discussed already for several months

is this thread intended to commemorate/celebrate the one year anniversary of folks thinking it was gonna be a PS5 exclusive last year?

Sorry I do not speak white girl so I dont know what you are saying.
That post you replied to is revisionist history though.

The saying is as old to these boards as this "news-worthy" thread is, which really isn't revisionist history at all at this point. More like, ancient history I know you the slow type that likes to argue in circles, so...:francis:

Another spin and deflection.
And you have 10K posts on this forum with most of it going in circles with this console war bullshyt. Matter of fact you've been doing it for the better part of two decades now.

Let me say it again: We don't speak the same language. Wtf are you talking about?
