Solid device but the games library is not there and we are at the end of the cycle. Seems like a new normal, games kinda maxed out now anyway.
Are people still buying COD every other year?
How is this the end of the cycle? Is it because there are rumored mid-cycle upgrades like the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X coming soon, or have console cycles really shortened from 7/8 years to 4?
i think i might have misspoke... they will release mid cycle upgrades this fall?
But is anyone going to upgrade? Where is value prop?
I think market is saturated at this point. covid demand is over.
i guess let's see what happens
I think I agree with you. I was honestly extremely tempted to buy a PS5 for the single player sequels Sony’s put out recently (Horizon FW, God of War R, and SM 2) but it’s become clear they’re all coming to PC so fuck it I can be patient.
Here’s hoping Sony wises up and greenlights a PS5 (with a lil PC side release) remaster of Bloodborne
I picked up all exclusives, before they went cross platform anyway. For me it was worth the buy.
I don't think we'll see a PS6 anytime soon though. Visual progress is probably gonna stall a bit now, best they can do is aim for solid 4K 120FPS, which would require better hardware. But I don't think that'll happen anytime soon.
Other than VR there haven't really been big developments in gaming for a long time. And most of the player base ain't ready for stuff higher than 4K. So I think it'll flatten out for a little longer.
I subscribe to Gameranx and every year the do a before you buy on it. So must be hot. I played the original but not really an FPS fan. Well unless I can kill nazi's or even better nazi zombies.
