250 employees is a small indie studio? Almost 20 of experience developing games for multiple platforms is not enough?

Well, the truth is that in terms of raw power PS5 is simply incapable of 4k60fps with graphics that can be perceived as "next-gen", and games like the new Plague Tale prove it. Either that or devs can't/refuse to optimize their games with next-gen hardware in mind. Time will tell.

When it comes to the controller, I've seen it utilized well in a few games, so it's DS4 all over again. Remember all those titles that had game mechanics clearly designed around the features of PS4 gamepad, like InFamous? I expect DualSense to share the same fate.

Cross-gen compatibility and next-gen upgrades are a welcome addition, though. Games like Wreckfest, D2R or even Deep Rock Galactic play so much better on PS5.
