2026-07-05 21:38:24 UTC

I could PR my way out of this Sony debacle. I would say as a console company, we've been increasingly concerned with discs not having full builds and being unplayable without downloads. To protect players against this issue, we ended disc support. We are reversing course, but going forward all disc versions will need to pass a more stringent test and be released at least 6 months after the digital version to ensure build quality. They save face, depreciate physical further (which is what they actually want), but make discs better for the subset that likes physical media (for the time being). Reframe and delay - just keep boiling the frog.

I remember the PS3 launch being pretty disasterous, and then in the next gen, Xbox one-upped Sony by being even dumber. This current gen, I don't remember a whole lot of excitement or anger, it just was. It would be funny if both consoles were wildly hated in the upcoming gen.

Oh yes, and with a disc you can get it cheap used, versus paying 69.99 for 5 year old game in the shop that they refuse to drop the price on. But yeah, even today a lot of games have full builds on discs, no download required.

So what I do, is I go to the site and search for a game I'm interested in - like I haven't played Astro Bot yet and I want to. If i search Astro Bot, if its been reviewed it'll tell me everything I need to know about the build on the disc. I tend to look for things that are green for both "offline play" and "no download required".

Yes and no. They havent announced ending disc support, but honestly they won't be far behind. Most Xbox studio releases are useless anyways, no full builds on the disc. Sony was pretty good about having full builds on discs so this really sucks

Yeah, i think its all PR, because a PS4 release in 2026 is assumed to be old and not good, but if the game doesnt need thr newest hardware who cares. I can see this being a thing when the PS6 comes out, because I cant imagine that machine being a massive upgrade from the PS5, and the PS4 still could run a good chunk of the indies out there

2026-06-24 09:21:04 UTC

- reply

They certainly do, but there still is presure for it to be a PS5 release and move on to the next gen. I can't remember the game, but there was an hand drawn indie game that was announced for PS5 and NS2. Why Ps5 only, it doesn't need the juice, maximize your release. I dunno, its just weird how we think of generations at this point

2026-06-23 17:22:54 UTC

I really don't understand console generations at this point. If the PS6 will be backwards compatable with PS4 and PS5 games, and you are an indie dev, why not make a PS4 game? Why does the number of the console mean something is outdated versus the power needed to run the game?
