Why can't Sony be bothered to create something like Xbox Smart Delivery?

Xbox Smart Delivery will carry your save data over to Xbox Series X – and back again | TechRadar

Xbox Smart Delivery, Microsoft’s program for giving players next-gen versions of their current-gen Xbox One games for free, just got confirmation of a killer feature – that save data would also be carried over to the Xbox Series X, ensuring you can pick up exactly where you left off on your previous console.

“As was the case with our current backwards compatible titles, you won’t have to worry about losing any progress either. Thanks to our commitment to compatibility across generations, you can be assured that when you purchase a game on Xbox One today, your game library, progression and entire gaming legacy moves forward with you if you jump into the next generation with Xbox Series X.”

The remastered version of Spider-Man on PS5 won’t let you carry over your PS4 saves

But if you’ve been waiting for the PS5’s new hardware as an excuse to dive back into Spider-Man’s virtual Manhattan, you unfortunately won’t be able to transfer your saves from the original game to the remastered version, Insomniac Games confirmed on Twitter.

Spider-Man PS4 players can’t upgrade to PS5 for free

PlayStation 5 owners interested in Marvel’s Spider-Man will have to repurchase the game in a bundle with Spider-Man: Miles Morales for the new console, even if they owned it on PlayStation 4.

If they're gonna make you repurchase the game in some fashion the least they could do is transfer your save file.

Because sony stops giving a fukk when they're the market leader.

reason why the spider-man remaster save doesnt carry over is because they are technically two different games.
Wont even have the same trophies.

What is so different gameplay wise? This better not be for multiple games. It would suck to not have saves carry over for games that people have been playing for years like Destiny or Rainbow Six

Their platform. Their choice.And as you can see from this forum and many others, fanboys will go out of their way to defend publishers and justify this stuff any way they can so it is what it is. I'm not sure why you are only calling out Sony though when Nintendo is doing the same bullshyt wih their Switch games that were on the Wii U. Nintendo even had the audacity to charge more for Tropical Freeze too.

Spider-Man Remastered is technically a different game.

Remastered games don't generally use the same save file as the original game.

OP a retard that doesn't understand the difference between an update and a remaster.

 

[Mike809]

Huh?

I was just going by why the original poster said
Guess he was wrong about the saves.

 

[5n0man]

Huh?

Is this just for Miles Morales? They haven't said if the saves will carry over for the base game.

They will be doing this on a case by case basis. They just didn't feel the need to give it a goofy name.
