While transitioning to a new console generation it’s not uncommon for publishers to continue supporting the previous one with a much larger established userbase. But while we’ve become used to being able to play pretty much the same game but with a few improvements on a newer system with PS5 and PS4, it used to be a different story.
Before now, hardware leaps represented huge, fundamental shifts in how games were made, whether that was in the online elements, the move from standard definition to high definition, or simply the power of the technology. That sometimes meant games released for the previous generation were missing features or were essentially different games, sometimes even made by different developers. Join us as we look at some of the most notable cross-gen games that had unique alter egos.
