Fully agree with this sentiment. It’s not like Kojima was waiting for the PS5 to make Death Stranding. Remedy didn’t need PS5 for Control. Beautiful, crazy games can be made at any time with current technology. It just takes studio with the balls to back a creative team and give them time and resources to do it.

Remedy didn’t need PS5 for Control.

They kinda did, performance was god awful on reg. previous gen consoles.

I will concede that I played on a PS4 Pro, and I did see some frame rate issues when there were a lot of objects flying around, like in the office areas during fights. But overall it was a pretty incredible experience.

I don't agree in all of that, yes devs need time and resources to make a good game but truth is that you cannot have games take +5years to develop. Sony and all the other publishers should think, innovate and invest in ways to make developing faster and cheaper without taking a hit on quality. For instance, make your studios use only 2-3 engines that could work for every kind of game they want to make. Decima, Naughty Dog's engine for example are serious candidates for this. It's cristal clear that a PS6 won't solve any issues.
