I can't put a ps5 in the living room cause FFXVI is full of swear words, drug use, and nasty sex. Video games have grown up.

I think the only PS5 game I've played which is actually "exclusive" is Demon's Souls which is a remake of a 14 year old game lol.

replaying final fanty 9 on xbox. looks like they lost the original prerendered backgrounds, they look like rear end here. music and gameplay are still great tho. vivi ftw.

Yeah they did lose the original renders unfortunately

On PC the Moguri Mod does an excellent job upscaling them because a lot of it was touched up by hand

It wasn't that uncommon back in the day for game devs to get rid of code/assets when a game was done since storage was expensive

I think developers just deleted source code all the time like TV stations used to do with old Super Bowls or whatever. Cheaper than not deleting them.

nintendo is the only company that keeps a meticulous archive of every single thing they've ever made other companies keep it on a floppy disc some random employee took home one day and forgot about
