    I remember when 3 came out, i still had a ps4. The game was literally unplayable, like literally crashing every 2 minutes. Couldn’t get past the first 10 minutes of the game. Im not surprised that even on ps5 the new one is crap. It’s like they gave up after part 2

      I don’t understand how Sony would allow a game on their platform that doesn’t actually run. Like surely they will require to provide some kind of advanced copy for them to review?

        There’s a process called certification you need to pass in order to release on a console where they test your game against a list of criteria outlined in the developer agreement to validate stability, minimum performance,and conformance with platform standards. Nintendo pioneered this process (the Nintendo seal of quality) in response to unauthorized developers releasing cartridges which ran poorly and could freeze or even cause damage to consoles.

        For a while, console manufacturers pretty strict about certification requirements but as time goes on they’ve been granting more and more exceptions to large publishers willing to pay fees and pinky-promise to fix the issues post-launch.
