MODERATORS
Are we already talking about next gen leaks? Damn, this generation passed by and I barely noticed it.
That’s because there are barely any fucking games this gen it feels like
What are you talking about? There's a new remake or remaster every other day!
So many resources wasted on live service projects that got canceled or flopped, that’s why
My psvr2 backlog would like a word with you...
My god he does exist
I wanted to get a psvr2 to use on my pc.
I hear amazing things but wife says I already play enough lol
They just ported all the PS4 games and slap PS5 on them. I bought a PS5 and not single game I have on it you can't also buy a 4 version. Except for Dead Island 2, and it was meh. I have not used my PS5 in over a year it just collects dust. With PC games I get all I need and more. But I have looked at new games for it and not impressed with the lineup.
It really does feel like this. And most of the new “ps5” games they also make for 4! Off the top of my head I can think of demons souls, ff16, ff7r part 2, and death stranding 2 were ps5 only and 3 of those are only timed exclusives
It's because half the player base still only has the PS4, like myself. I just could never justify spending that much money on a console that can only hold like 8 games Anyways without paying a crazy amount for extra storage, when I can still play the same games on the console I already have. I was more than happy to spend twice the money building a decent desktop where I can play just about anything I want with way more freedom.
Yeah, I've been watching from the sidelines and still haven't seen anything that moves the needle sufficiently.
Where are the games?!
They all take seven years to make, so there aren't as many of them.
Yeah. The PS2 got three GTAs, GTA V got three consoles.
Unfortunately they're not significantly more fun despite that.
There have been some great games with development times that long. But for crying out loud, if you're not making a surefire success, make a smaller game so it's less risky.
if you're not really there for it then sure, but i got a ps5 for ff7 remake, kh3 and ff16 and i personally think I got my money's worth. loved every goddamn second.
it helped that I got p5r and expedition 33 as well, what a beaut of a bonus they were
They might mean exclusives, of which none of those apply. But I personally don't think exclusives are a good thing anyway.
FF7 Remake, Rebirth and FF16 were timed exclusives, though all have since left and Square Enix said “never again, it wasn’t profitable enough.”
Them being told they're timed exclusives isn't really the problem being discussed though. Seems weird to invalidate a console having a game just because it's available elsewhere. If you don't already have a PC, a PS5 for it's performance is way cheaper than getting the PC equivalent.
Become a PC gamer and you don't experience "generations" anymore.
The disappointment of the PS5 plus the surprise of the Steam Deck turned me, personally
I am. I grew up with the PS1 and I really liked the simplicity, ease of use, affordability and reliability of older gens, but the newer ones seem to have all the cons of consoles and none of the benefits.
I grew up with cartridges, so this is hilarious to me. With PS1, you had to put in a disc, close the lid, press the power button, wait for the logo startup sequence, then your game would start (assuming there's not some kind of problem that kicks you back to the disc/memory card screen). Don't even get me started on disc damage 😂
Now I'm a PC gamer with a humongous digital collection. Nothing gets damaged, and I get to keep all my games.
One double-click, and I'm gaming.
So long as gaben is there at least. I hate to think how badly valve will fall once he's no longer there.
Same here, although even earlier. As a family of five Sony's horribly bad game sharing within the family if you have more than one PS5 (we do) has sealed the deal for us. I've just built up two Bazzite-based Steamboxes and that's going to be our couchgaming from now on.
No PS6.
Instead you see GPUs release for the same price as, or more than, a current gen console every two years.
Never paid for a GPU on its own, I just buy a new gaming laptop every 5 years.
Shit, maybe I am going through generations 😂
Many still play on Playstation 4 and suprising amount of games still get released for both.
Its also funny that in Fighting game locals most games are still played on PS4 with Tekken 8 being pretty much the only one requiring PS5.
