Tidligere på året løftede både EA og det lille svenske studie Hazelight sløret for A Way Out, og under et af de mange interviews der fulgte trop kritiserede instruktør Josef Fares PS4-konsollens hestekræfter, og sammenlignede den med en fem år gammel PC. Udtalelsen er fuldstændig sand, men den blev stadig kontroversiel, og nu langer Fares ud efter medierne for at portrættere hans citat ude af kontekst.
I en meddelelse til GamingBolt har han sagt følgende:
"[It was] so taken out of context. And I don't even want to comment on that. It's so... I mean, the people who wrote that, it's so silly, it's not even worth commenting on. And if I meet this journalist, I would ask them, "like what were you trying to do here?"
Derudover påpeger Fares, at han er ret ligeglad med "konsolkrigen":
"Look, here's the fact. Let me make this one thing straight: I'm a passion driven man. I don't care about hardware. I don't care about console war, that's all bullshit, okay? That was really, extremely, extremely taken out of context. It's not even worth commenting on, because it's so silly, you know. I own every single console, I don't even care about that. I care about games- who cares about consoles, and if they are good or not good? But people seem to like this console war, and so some journalist wanted to have some clicks on his page, I don't know."
