Ratchet and clank?
I think it looks great.Plenty of time to do a revision of the PS5 that doesn't look like it was melted in the microwave. It's the least attractive console design since the Gamecube.
Demon souls?I haven't seen a single next-generation game yet and it's been 2 years since ps5's release. Castillo looks to be the only hope for something like that and that's multiplatform.
So yeah, it's difficult to be excited about what's coming next when everything we're playing now still looks like a ps4 game with higher settings.
I doubt the ps5 pro would be $899, but I wouldn't mind at the same time. Most likely it would be $599 or possibly $699 if they really try to push it. The PS6 most likely isn't going to be $400-$500 at launch but more likely $600 to $700 thanks to inflation. The PS6 will feel significantly more powerful than the ps5 due to the fact that we won't be jumping to a higher resolution and doubling the fps during the ps6 gen unlike this gen where they seemed to try to push both more 4k and 60 fps games. They might bump up the resolution to 8k TVs if that is a thing at that time.No way we get a mid gen refresh imho. They’re raising the price on the existing hardware as it is, a pro would be like $899. And then once you make that system, how do you make a ps6 which is significantly more powerful but also comes back to the $400-$500 price that Sony likes for their launch consoles?
It does make sense to have several of the games be cross gen for the first 2 years. I mean the third parties are most likely going to do that and why all of a sudden abandon your last gen console just because you released a new one. Create some games that show the reason why you made this new gen system and have some games for multi-gen release for those extra sales.Yup, continuing that 7 year cycle, maybe 2028. But i think 7 years is enough time. But i think we just need to accept that we are now in a perpetual "cross gen" territory during console launches, the first 2 years of PS6 will be just upgraded cross gen PS5 games. From now one consoles will launch every 7 years but next gen will start 2-3 years after that.
Bring back the Haze franchise I say.I hope Sony has a contingency plan and is gearing up one of their first parties to develop something to compete with cod. They really need a killer triple a multiplayer game regardless
So... A generation ahead?So yeah, it's difficult to be excited about what's coming next when everything we're playing now still looks like a ps4 game with higher settings.
Yeah, which is why I decided to buy an Xbox Series S. No point dropping $500 on a machine that will probably be replaced by some pro version in 2 years or something, and may not offer a lot that you cannot realistically play on last gen machines (whether or not they force next-gen exclusivity to make it seem next-gen). May as well as get Series S now to keep on all the games and then upgrade to a Series X Pro (or whatever they call it) later. Skip the Series X entirely.I haven't seen a single next-generation game yet and it's been 2 years since ps5's release. Castillo looks to be the only hope for something like that and that's multiplatform.

Sony doesn't expect PlayStation 6 before 2027, confidential document suggests
Sony does not expect its next-generation PlayStation to arrive until at least 2027, a confidential document has suggested.
The partially-redacted document was released publicly today as part of the UK's ongoing in-depth Competition and Markets Authority review into Microsoft's proposed $68bn Activision Blizzard buyout - a deal Sony has strongly objected to.
In an intriguing passage discussing the length of time Call of Duty may remain on PlayStation, Sony claims that (at the time of writing) it expected to lose access to the franchise in 2027. Sony then goes on to state that by the time it "launched the next generation of its PlayStation console... it would have lost access to Call of Duty and other Activision titles".
Putting aside the possibility of whether Sony would actually lose access to Call of Duty (something Xbox boss Phil Spencer has recently repeatedly denied) the suggestion here from Sony is that the PlayStation 6 will not launch until after its feared 2027 COD cut-off date.
That puts PS5, which originally launched in November 2020, on at least a seven-year lifecycle - and potentially longer.
In the document, Sony states its concern that the loss of COD in 2027 would leave PlayStation "extremely vulnerable to consumer switching and subsequent degradation in its competitiveness" - presumably for when the subsequent console generation arrived.
"PlayStation 6 in 2028?" industry analyst Piers Harding-Rolls wrote on Twitter.
A redacted section of this passage does note the actual year Sony expects PS6 to materialise - although the public version of this has it blanked out.
To compare, PS4 launched in November 2013,
exactly seven years before PS5 - though the console remains well-supported today.
For its part, Microsoft has claimed it is keen to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation longer than 2027. Last month, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said he was keen to keep releasing COD on Sony platforms "as long as there's a PlayStation out there to ship to".

Give me the PS5 Pro next holiday please
Plus make it beefy and I will pay extra
Beefy enough to emulate PS3?Give me the PS5 Pro next holiday please

This. They shouldn't even be making a roadmap for the future if they can't deliver in the present.Feels as though this gen has barely got off the ground yet.
Ehm.... You know that the guys who made Medal of Honors MP (Allied Assault) so much fun, went on to create Call of Duty right? MOH had been dead for years.If CoD is the center of Sony's business and they fear they might lose it on any future PSnon5, then they should just call the PS6 PS5-CoD360 the PS7 PS5-BOnerCoD the PS8 PS5-Series-CoD the PS9 PS5-CoDstation etc. I mean they act like CoD is the center of any gamer's decisions and quintessential to have CoD on it. 5 years to create a military shooter that is competetive to CoD shouldn't be impossible for Sony. EA might even be willing to make BF and or MoH exclusive to have at least names that have some recognition already.
Not really. Crossgen games can't take full advantage of the next gen consoles. They still need stuff like corridors that hide loading screens even when running on the PS5 or a PC with a SSD.So... A generation ahead?
The giant leaps of the past are gone. Technical improvements can only give diminishing returns. Better looking games now have to rely on the skill and creativity of artists, which is again limited by how many artists a developer can afford and how much time they can afford to give the artists to work. PSX/N64→PS2/XBox is never happening again. If that's what you want you're going to be disappointed every single time.
this generation hasn't even really started yet. no games to justify buying any of the consoles. you can hold onto your XB1/PS4 or grab a Series S. No reason to splash out on a Series X or PS5. the "biggest" game yet, as some will have you believe, God of War you can play on your console from 2013.
Why not just get a PC at that point?A 20.6TF PS5 Pro at $700 (or even up to $1,000) sounds wonderful. Every 4K@30fps being played at 60fps or more.

In its response to the CMA’s concerns, Microsoft said the next generation of consoles is many years away and claimed any impact from the Activision deal was highly speculative.
“I[n]need the next new generation of consoles are not expected to be released before the fall of 2028 at the very earliest.”
In its partially redacted statement, Sony also references Microsoft’s offer to keep Call of Duty available on PlayStation until 2027, and how this could impact the fortunes of its next console.
“Microsoft has offered to continue making Activision’s games available on PlayStation only until 2027… By the time SIE launched the next generation of its PlayStation console (which is likely to occur around [redacted]), it would have lost access to Call of Duty and other Activision titles, making it extremely vulnerable to consumer switching and subsequent degradation in its competitiveness,” Sony wrote.
