The power of the PS5 and Xbox has barely been tapped into. I'm sorry the global pandemic putting things on hold was a massive inconvenience for you.
Hey man, I'm not the one bragging about my iq.
....but Sony released 4 PS5 exclusives....there are no last gen counterparts for them.....and one more coming next week....I made a thread a while back suggesting that it would have been better for them and MS to wait. No one liked that idea much, but it really would have made sense for a number of reasons.
1. They could have launched to a better stock situation overall without the added stresses of releasing in a holiday season.
2. They could have launched with more mature tools. At this point, both systems are releasing "Next Gen" games that are little more than resolution and framerate improvements over their "Last Gen" counterparts.
3. They could have launched with more impressive games. Demon's Souls is a good game and all, but there really weren't any killer apps at launch (unless you count Bug Snax).
This I can agree with. They just chose which games to have for last gen.I honestly think they wanted to leave the ps4 behind but the current situation make them think twice.
Well, you see, they would just hold all those game for 2022 and have absolutely nothing for 2020, 2021.That’s not how game development works
that’s not how hardware development works
that’s not how any of this works!
If they waited to 2022 then all the games you listed would have been PS4 games to start with
No kidding. Even if they couldn't ship hardware there was no excuse for launching with the poor selection of software Microsoft and Sony put forward. We're over 6 months post launch and there's nothing compelling enough for me to justify the cost of the new consoles.I think it was time for new consoles. Though it does seem a bit silly that neither Microsoft or Sony could provide very much in the way of next-gen experiences. They should have planned better, because the drought was noticeably painful last generation as well.
It's not too much to ask for at least one "Killer app" around the time of launch. I don't think either really provided that.
Seing the current shitshow with the consoles, production, logistics, cross gen backtracking it wouldn't be a bad idea to do so in hindsight. By the time anyone can pick it up we might be well into 2022 anyway. And barely any next-gen exclusives at that point still.
How powerful would their hardware have been. Would we have gotten a more powerful GPU with better RT capabilities, DLSS, more mature tools such as Unreal 5. I feel like Sony and Microsoft should have just waited as the Pro and One X were still putting out decent games.
Then Xbox could win a gen.... One year was not enough on the 360, maybe with 2 years ahead Xbox could finally get a win... Right?And let Microsoft get a two year headstart?
Delaying either system could have lead to more powerful systems.
I really don't get the point of this thread.
If your constantly worried about specs then PC is the way to go.
I see the OP point if developers are hell bent on performance killing RT. Waiting 18 months for a node shrink to either include tensor like cores or full featured RT cores. Right now both consoles have half ass RT. Also on the PC side direct storage would of been done and rolled out.
Before the consoles were revealed everyone was sure we'd have 7TF max, no RT consoles still on HDDs.
Xbox 360 came out a year before ps3 and The Wii dominated. Sony won't make the same mistake again

Why?
There's literally nothing on PS5 and Series X that has ultilized the power they have now and u want more power?
Covid happened, the hardware was ready, the software got delayed, but Ratchet will be the first 'real' next generation gameI think it was time for new consoles.

At best the rumors were 10-14TF RDNA flops, and the people guessing 14TF were laughed at mostly.Reminds me of some of the rumors about the PS5. The XSX was always rumored to be a beast if I'm not wrong.
But not yet dude PS4 versions are selling higher than PS5 ones, the userbase didn't magically dissapear on PS4 the day the new was releasedSeeing how alot of PS5 versions sell better than the PS4 version ....I agree. Which is the only head scratching thing in all this. I get that development time dictated it being cross gen but still. GT7 is also a head scratcher since that was labeled PS5 exclusive, so something must have changed.
So....Sony chose Rift Apart to be next gen, but not God of War thats now coming out in 2022....
And Rift Apart can scale perfectly to PS4.....
Yeah.....makes sense.
Maybe Insomniac chose to focus soley on PS5 for Rift Apart? They did just release Miles....a cross gen game....And overall Sony wanted to have an insane 2021 line up.
Maybe for their biggest bangers they wanna tap into the cross gen money. Which again is wild since PS5 versions are selling great right now.
Thats on you friend stop. buying. consoles. on. launch. dayI'm kinda with you on that. A lot of people are accepting it, and enjoying the PS5 for what it is. That's great..
But I'm oldschool, and the jump here from PS4 to 5 was small. I'm sorry if you disagree, but it doesn't bring to the table anything that'd make me spend $500 on.
Maybe in the future, when the games are here, and the console is a little cheaper. But as far as launch goes, the PS5 is the most tepid generational leap I've experienced thus far.
imo the biggest issue is, for some reasons, jimbo went all in on cross-gen.
