@CyberDymeGold and Ultimate just include the cross gen versions both, so are you saying I’d have to install both versions and play the PS4 version when playing with PS4 friends? Is that how you read it? If so, not sure that’s much better, hard drive space ain’t what it used to be.
I’ll continue to wait for more details, just seemed a bit confusing how they displayed cross play details with old and next gen together,Agreed @Boba_Brett711 ,
Its some weak descriptions we have gotten so far from EA on this. But yes, the info and the answers we got so far at the event is that the GOLD and ULTIMATE licenses both include the rights/access to both the old-gen and the new-gen console game environments. What is not clear yet if its working as a single game install, and we then within that single environment can search for and join games in both worlds, so to speak. Or if we indeed will need to make like two separate installs to be able to play both in the new-gen 128 player environment with the full size maps, but also join friends on old-gen in the smaller 64-player maps.
Based on the announcement also on the BattleHub environment with all remastered maps also to be there fore our pleasure, then I (maybe wrongly) assumed that we would be able to search for and join gameplay in all the environments from within the same single game entity on our new-gen consoles. I totally get your frustration if that is now not going to be the case, as the new-gen consoles are indeed sparse on SSD space so far on their primary drives...
Already now with just a few games installed, its literally full, so think next investment will have to be a large secondary SSD drive to be attached to it. As then you can install the game quickly from secondary to primary drive. Not ideal really, but its the best workaround so far, until Sony come clear on what alternative larger SSD drives we can install ourselves as primaries...
