Now that I've had time to process all this.I think that's way too optimistic.
God of War, GT7 seemingly won't have the $70 price hike. And if these decisions are driven by the developers, that's great too.
I think it would be interesting to see what kinds of differences come between the PS4/PS5 versions. I'm hopeful that we see some things take more advantage of the platform.
MLB The Show is on both systems yet costs $70 on PS5 and $60 on PS4. If God of War 2 is not $70, then that price is dead imo.
Also it's great that this seemingly isn't a bad sign for the game itself, devs aren't in a battle with corporate, but the marketing and missed opportunity still stings. I really hope GOW2 is like Titanfall or Shadow of Mordor where the last gen version had little effect on the next gen version, but I expect it to be like Forbidden West with a PS4 version, a PS4 pro version, and a PS4 pro pro version.
