its deffo coming to last gen consoles as its a dlc for a game that originated on them and Arf (almost) let the cat out the bag saying it was a legal requirement but then backtracked (Lave Radio)
will there be an enhanced PS5 version? I still think so as there's no reason not too maybe the real question now should be will Sony allow that dlc on their platform
It's not a legal requirement to release DLC. They could just abandon it and not release on any console if they couldn't get it performing to an acceptable standard.
Sony and MS cannot force companies to release DLC on the consoles or indeed any software on their platforms.
I do agree that we wouldn't get PS5 or XS Odyssey
only DLC. They would probably have to release on the old consoles first as I am sure there is some legal mumbo jumbo there.
The big question is will the new consoles get further optimisation or enhancements?
To be honest there is some shocking stuff on the PlayStation store. Elite can be very unstable on PS5 in the right (or wrong circumstances). It's still available. Cyberpunk was removed because of the massive backlash.
It remains to be seen how many copies on PlayStation Odyssey can actually shift considering most but the die hard fans have long since abandoned the game and moved on.
Is Odyssey enough to bring people back? Not sure. In its current difficult state on PC I would say no. If FDev can turn it around and get it running and looking great on console? Again at the moment I am pretty pessimistic about it. I think the base PS4 and Xbox are really going to struggle.
If we are stuck in BC mode at 1080p on PS5 as I've said before I probably won't buy it.
When I can play just today games like Jedi Fallen Order in 4K and hopefully next week (if it arrives) the ridiculously good looking Ratchet & Clank also 4K. Elite just looks more and more dated on my PS5 as time goes on.
