IT STARTS WITH
ONE THING
Worst generation.
What's wrong?
what a complete joke those line ups are.
half of them are ports of PS4.
I pitty the kids who have to grow up in todays gaming culture.
Why? I never relied on exclusive games as a kid. There’s thousands of games to play. Looking at some of the titles that I would have loved 20 years ago but I’m not really into today makes me wish I still had that childlike fascination to enjoy certain genres.
>this is the same company that made PS1 and PS2
Those were good because of third parties.
There were plenty of good first parties too
Back before amerimutts infested japan
They are the same company only by name, not by DNA.
replaying some of the PSX catalog then looking at modern sony is exactly the kick in the teeth you need to remind yourself that anything good will eventually become shit with enough time and shareholder pressure behind it
*ahem*
It hurts.
>Kino
PS5 has been the worst generation I have ever experienced. I miss the PS2 days that shit was crazy, there were countless games on the market and if you chipped your consoles you could get dirt cheap pirated games.
The current culture of mega-expensive game dev processes costing hundreds of millions (yeah, including marketing, but still) needs to die. It’s the reason why it feels like gaming is moving forward in a depressing crawl where the one working leg can barely advance when it has to drag the other, dead leg forward along itself.
What a time it was
The ultimate mog. Anybody who thinks video games didn't peak in the late 90s and early 2000s is objectively wrong.
It's unironically over.
Fun fact, during that time the Sony stock was at its all time high.
Making good games is good for business? What a novel though. That might just be the radical new idea that could shake up the AAA industry.
lacks diversity
Only 3 of those are from Sony.
Jak, GT and Ico.
Somehow when counting PS5 titles, people only consider first parties, but then mention them for ps1 and 2.
Curious.
It's about exclusives, dingus.
Is it?
Ok so of those third parties in the PS2 pic:
Dark Alliance was on Xbox and pc.
DMC is on Xbox and pc.
FFX is on pc.
GTA3 is on xbox and pc.
MGS2 is on xbox and pc.
Silent Hill 2 is on Xbox and pc.
Some may have been on GameCube/Nintendo, but i don't remember.
At best some were temporary exclusives, but somehow that doesn't count when it comes to PS5, because it feeds the arbitrary criteria to shout "PS5 has no gaems!".
you can't compare pc ports from 2002 to todays pc ports, (no one played DMC on pc at the time) you also have to take into account this line up was bolstered by lots of console only games
yeh they're worse
>worse aspect ratio support
>little to no modding support
>but muh broken shit caused by shit os
>having shader stutter at all lol
You're clearly moronic if you think pc ports of 2002 are better than todays, DMC I believe didn't even have any controller support out of the box.
Not that there was even any real universal controller support at the time, I used to use a PlayStation controller with a usb converter to play a lot of games, it was a fricking pain. you were better off just buying a xbox or ps2
>controller support
back then you bought a console to play console shit you bought a pc to play actually pc games
it makes little to no difference today and even then that's a skill issue the only reason controller support became needed is because pc games died out
>>back then you bought a console to play console shit you bought a pc to play actually pc games
yea that's the whole point I'm making dumbass back then consoles had effectively bigger libraries than todays
Games didn't take nearly as many resources to push hardware to new territory as it does now. This is the problem with modern Sony, they're doubling down on pushing hardware to its limit and the result is a library consisting of maybe 10 games that all took years and millions of dollars to make. Modern Sony is choosing this.
>you can't compare pc ports from 2002 to todays pc ports
Yes you can
>FFX is on pc
This one doesn't really count since that was the HD remaster that didn't come until 15 years later.
Some PS5 games came to PC 2 years later, and you're still counting them.
well yeah, since PS5 is still alive
i'd be interested to see which PS2 exclusive there were during it's life span
Questionable quints.
There is a vast difference between a 3 month exclusive and one several years
Dmc 1 was not released for pc until 2018, that's 17 years after it's original release date
Same with ffx that was not released until 2015 for pc
Gta 3 was only exclusive for 6 months so I'll give you that
Mgs2 was exclusive for a year
I know people who bought PS2 to play these games, but I have never heard anyone say they bought a PS5 to play an exclusive
anon are you moronic?
The first parties aren't even exclusive to PS5 anymore. They will come to PC soon. The PS2 list was all exclusive.
jesus we live in a nightmare world now
>video games aren't as good
>nightmare world
want to know how I know you're a fat pathetic weakling
take me back
About half of these games are still talked about daily 23 years later
No one's going to talk about the trash that releases nowadays 23 years from now
Horizon is only remembered to make fun of the main character looking like a homosexual
otherwise the only title that was a sony exclusive and is talked about still is death stranding
it's almost as if people want ps2 exclusives
Half? I would say BG Dark Alliance is the only game in that pic that isn't talked at all nowadays.
you have people who unironically believe 2023 was the greatest year of video games, and will call you out of touch for disagreeing
2001 was just built different
>last good final fantasy game
>last good naughty dog game
>the best metal gear solid game
>silent hill when it was actually good
>>last good naughty dog game
You take that back.
No wonder it steamrolled the competition.
Back when it didn't cost 200 million dollars to make a game
We need to go back
New bad, old good but unironically. Technology became too good for the industry's own good.
God we didn't know how good we had it
Literal genre defining games
Some of the best titles vidya has to off all released in the same year wtf
OH LAWDY TAKE ME BACK
It's weird knowing that the best years of gaming already happened. I'm not one of those people that hate every game in the past ten years, I even have a new entrant to my top 10 that came out in this period. Helldivers 2 just came out and when the game actually works it's honestly fantastic.
But there were just so many more good games coming out back then.
Same
>all those remasters
It's baffling how there is very little outrage. People are fine with this shit.
>outrage
People bought next-gen consoles?
It's been a slow boil to get the frogs to this point
Add Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, Foamstars, and Helldivers II to 2024.
how about ff7
rebirth (goty)
>also on PC, dogshit, also on PC
things are so dire that sony fanboys have to list DLC now just to try to increase the number of "games"
This image makes me want to vomit.
We can never go back. It hurts.
The hardware came out at a very poor time when everything was moving to cpu processing. A gpu in a shit pc just sucks and trying to milk it for a decade was just double stupid.
>remasters
>FRICKING DLC
They really were scraping the bottom of the barrel to make this list
>Sequels, remasters, remakes and PS4 games
At least the PS4 had Bloodborne. Which, while being a souls game, change the formula enough to be it's own thing.
The only new IP I can think of on the PS5 is Returnal and that's on PC too.
50% is Marvel slop
The Wii U looks like an excellent console compared to this shit
The WiiU was an "excellent" console compared to PS4's first 3 years on the market as well. Super Mario 3D Land, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, and Smash WiiU were all things that you could play before Bloodborne came out, and Splatoon just misses that mark by a couple months.
I unironically don't take people who regurgitate "Bloodborne" seriously. Been an Nintendo fan since the N64, but the PS4 is the most time I ever spent gaming when I initially got it for KH3. Easily got at least 100 games on that thing.
The people who say "Bloodborne box" are PCgays, most games that came out on the PS4 got PC ports as well. If you don't already have a PC, a PS4 Pro is a pretty good value for money gaming box.
Now, yes. In 2015, ehhhhhhh. You were probably better off sticking with PS3 at the time, it got every other game PS4 did and you didn't need a new $400 box to play them. PS4 got its shit together from 2017 onwards, but those early years were rough.
Being better off with the previous console for a few years has always been the case whenever a company puts out something that is not backwards compatible, I can't think of any exception. The problem with the PS5 is that they're killing it off before it even gets a library, which leaves one to assume the PS6 will have the same exact problem.
Agreed. PS5 is at the same crossroads now that PS4 was in 2017. Difference is, PS4 stepped the frick up in 2017 and earned its keep. Console's alright now. PS5 doesn't look like it's ever going to have its 2017. Maybe I'm wrong, but the outlook's not great right this second.
Because BB is the only game worth playing that doesn’t play better elsewhere
t. Man who hates video games and types consooom in Direct threads
But i do like video games, hence why I hate modern sony
>when I initially got it for KH3
oh yeah you just got the console 6 years, at least, after it came out. still it's a fact it had nothing to play from launch to bb's release in 2015
While it isn’t an exclusive I think PS4 was carried by Destiny until then. Back then Sony was shilling it as if it was first party
what the frick
imagine being some gen alpha kid and this is your entire childhood
It's even worse when you see how many of these are remasters or *also on PS4.
returnal and ratchet exclusives?
*console* exclusives (meaning not on xbox).
oh ok
Console exclusives. Both of those got PC ports down the line.
Spider-Man 2 is basically an unofficial multiplat at this point with how well the Brazilians have fixed up that Beta build from the insomniac leak.
>has to cope with the "console exclusive" bullshit
ruh mao
The best green game is in ironically Astros playroom. Jesus.
Now lets look at all the true exclusives - no PC
>Astro Playroom
>Destruction Allstars
That's it. A tech demo and a game so shit it was dead day 1.
going through all this effort to epically, systematically deboonk a bait image. Lmao...
the ironic thing too is Ratchet and Returnal are the two best games on that chart (other than DeS, which isn't a PS5 game)
>no games but remasters and shovelware
>best game is a walking simulator
>only 5 "games" per year
>most of them ps4 ports
>some remasters
>fricking DLC
This is just sad to watch
*cough*
PSX is the king of consoles, this will never be up for debate on any level.
This makes me feel sadder about Square than about Playstation.
I think this sentence is true regardless of context.
What a fricking tragedy.
absolutely fricking embarrassing
Almost all on PC, the others will soon come too, what's the point of a PS5?
Ain't that the million dollar question
Playing PS4 games without load times.
I don't think it's fair to remove the also on PS4 games if they were released at the same time. Here's the list without DLC and remade/rereleased games.
The ps5 was released in November 2020, so it won't even be five years old before being abandonware by Sony. It's literally Sony's WiiU but at least Nintendo made like twice as many games for the WiiU. Is it unironically over for Sony? How can a PS6 compete if they won't make games?
Sony is going to have to prove themselves with the PS6 if they want me to even consider getting it. The Switch also looked abysmal after the Wii U since the launch titles were just BoTW and a port of Splato- I mean Splatoon 2. It became a decent system eventually, but for a while it was a Wii U port machine that people were praising it for.
The people praising Switch for its WiiU ports didn't own a WiiU...which is the majority of people. If anything, it's a great example of how games don't sell a console nearly as much as good marketing does.
> muh marketing
Old snoy cope, try something new
Legendarily terrible marketing is precisely why WiiU failed though, normalgays didn't even know it was a new console. That's not revisionism, Nintendo did more to show off the tablet controller and call WiiU an "upgrade" rather than sit down and elaborate that it was not just a Wii add-on. Switch, in comparison, hit the ground running with a clear cut commercial during the Super Bowl and a massive new Zelda, echoling the successful playbook of Wii's "Wii would like to play" ad campaign while launching with Twilight Princess. It worked in 2006 and it worked again in 2017.
Sony needs to stop doing moronic 200million+ AAA slop so much and create more decent AA exclusive games.
People act like Nintendo entered a renaissance period with the Switch but yeah it owes its success to the Wii U, they didn't even have to bother developing a Mario Kart game this gen. Nintendo are the only console manufacturers I'd consider supporting nowadays but they need to prove they can keep the console afloat without deluxe editions this time around.
>they didn't even have to bother developing a Mario Kart game this gen
They gave 8 so much DLC that it basically was the development of a new Mario Kart in and of itself.
let's be honest they only put effort in towards the end, the vast majority of new courses are ripped directly from MK Tour.
The Tour courses aren't the majority, and thank God for that because if anything threatened to derail 8D's DLC rollout it was those shitass courses. A lot of remade courses and few new ones, but MK's been remaking courses since Super Circuit anyways.
It may not be the majority, but it sure feels like it sometimes because lobbies are full of people picking a Tour course whenever it shows up instead of choosing literally anything else.
The shit taste of the unwashed masses cannot be accounted for, but it does make me wish Nintendo left that shit to rot. If anything, they leaned more and more into it as the DLC came to a close so frick me, I guess.
>but it does make me wish Nintendo left that shit to rot
This so much. It would've been much better if they ignored Tour courses completely and focused on solely classic courses instead. None of the DLC characters were even worth that Tour slop, I still find myself going back to male villager.
10 years of no Mario Kart is such a complete joke. Just the other day I was in a Mario Kart thread where people were unironically saying it was fine because most people didn't play it on the Wii U, and that the DLC courses pretty much make it MK9 when it's all just ports of previous courses and the Tour courses that are so badly designed that you need arrows to know where to go. I hate those morons so much.
>people were unironically saying it was fine because most people didn't play it on the Wii U
Bull-fricking-shit, I remember all the hardcore Nintendogays making lobby threads for MK8's Wii U launch.
Either those anons are gone now, or they are spewing out bs to justify the lack of a proper sequel. Before that it was "but look, we have a proper battle mode now! This is obviously to tide us over until MK9 in 3 years, so stop complaining!"
>2024
>morons STILL sticking with the "splatoon 2 and smash ultimate should be counted as wiiu ports too!" cope
Name me a good reason to get Splatoon 2 and 3 over Splatoon. It's more of the same shit.
>new story modes with different mechanics
>multiple new game modes
>new maps and weapon types, not to mention brand new kits using existing weapons differently
>octo expansion is one of the best things nintendo has put out in over a decade
Man, it's almost like it's a sequel, and not a port. I'm sorry that counting to "2" is apparently out of your mental grasp.
WHERES FOAM STARS??????????
Published by Square Enix, not first party
Damn, I bet PS Vita got more first party games in the same timespan.
it did
>wipeout
>mod nation
>resistance
>killzone
>uncharted
>sly cooper
>gravity rush
t. bought a vita at launch
I think Sony tried harder out the gate with Vita but gave up sooner. Vita had shit like Uncharted, Resistance, Killzone, LittleBigPlanet, ModNation Racers, Wipeout and Lumines land on it, on top of new IP like Gravity Rush, Freedom Wars, Soul Sacrifice and Tearaway. But it supernova'd after damn near all of it went nowhere in terms of sales.
They gave it decently strong 1st party support out the gate, but told 3rd parties to go frick themselves in numerous ways.
Which is ironic as Vita ended up being carried by smaller Japanese devs and western indies. Absolutely did not become the portable AAA machine that they wanted it to be.
Sony enslavement syndrome and yamauchi derangement syndrome run strong in the japanese 3rd party industry.
>dlc counts!
holy shit
>Hope you like God of War, Spiderman and Horizon kids, because we've got a frickuva lot of God of War, Spiderman and Horizon
Wew fricking lads.
>3 spiderman games planned ahead of wolverine
They only made 2 spiderman games, one god of war game, and one normal horizon and one vr horizon game. The rest is just dlc and upscaled remasters.
Lol. Gaming is so fricking dead. Consoles used to launch with better libraries day one. Zoomers really got the short end of the stick
FTFY
>demons souls remaster
>no shit
is this cope?
well, looking at the PS5 line up, do i even need to ask that? kek
>cope
None, Demon's Souls is a good game, remake or not.
Any inferior remake is automatically shit.
It plays better than the original for rolling, has a 60FPS mode but they did butcher the art style
you can get 60 fps on pc
you got a objectively worse version
It's universally superior, no amount of cope will change that nostalgiagay
The Demon Souls Demake is the most shit, artistically offensive thing here. Everyone who works at Bluepoint should be killed.
okay, okay, let me fix it once and for all
Anything good in gt7 is buried under a dozen layers of always online live service bullshit and atrocious cash shops.
I don't care much, I play GT7 an hour a day after work to relax. It is mostly my Nordschleife simulator more than anything else
IRL I build Vintage Stock Cars and LMS
>death stranding crossed
Cringe
Got me bored real quick, too calm for my liking and I barely have time to play daily
>a "director's cut" of a game that just came out that the director had 110% control over
have a nice day
No that would be House of the Dead remake
The art style is exactly the fricking same, you're just so moronic you confuse horrendous early PS3 graphic issues as an art style.
Demon's Souls is shit, and always has been shit, and the remaster is somehow even worse.
filtered, such many cases
not for me
>filtered by a game that has two actual bossfights in it, three if you're charitable and consider the Flamelurker not a gimmick fight
>GT7
>not shit
What an absolute nothing console generation this has been.
The AAA model is not sustainable and the PS5 is proof of what happens when you treat it as the end-all-be-all.

https://www.gematsu.com/2023/07/quantum-error-ps4-version-cancelled-pc-version-added
>Metacritic rating 40
To be fair, I wouldn't pad that list with games like this one.
not only that
>The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR
>Horizon Call of the Mountain
They are VR exclusive games, you can't even play them without owning PSVR2
Also
>Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
>Marvel's Wolverine
They are games that do not even have a release date, beyond the year
So these games could arrive on other platforms such as PC on the same day as the PS5 version
And additionally
>Astro's Playroom
>Silent Hill: The Short Message
It is the same as if they were 1, 2 Switch or Nintendoland, they should not even be considered in that list, they have no comparison with the other games
Nintendoland was an actual game though. 1 2 switch is pure shovelware though.
I know what it is, it came with the disc included in my black Wii U, what I mean is that both NintendoLand and Astros Playground, should not be considered because they are included with the console

you have two games, a tech demo, and the worst entry of the Gran Turismo series.
congratulations.
GT7 is on ps4
so they have Astro's Playroom.
Congratulations. (x2)
This has to be a troll, there's no way someone can look at this shit and not feel like a moron.

>50+ million people bought a ps5 despite having no games to offer for 4 years
i don't get it
I still have no idea why everyone lost their minds and tried scalping this shit. It literally has no games.
Funniest is how it fricked up the projections for the Japanese market. The amount of consoles officially sold in Japan, does not add up with the absolutely abysmal software sales.
Sony is the Apple of gaming
People had high hopes I guess.

Compare to Switch's first party lineup. Note that is minus the 31 first/second party remakes and rereleases, so things like Mario Kart 8 and Mario RPG are excluded.
>it's been four years since I've purchased a new Switch exclusive
Damn, that image really puts it in perspective.
I hope they burn, karma for going woke.
>If only you knew how bad things really are
spent too much time supporting the PS4 and a move to put pretty much everything on PC. GT7 should have never gotten a PS4 version.
They had to keep supporting it due to shortages. Ya couldn't just go into a store and buy a PS5 til three years into its life cycle. So they couldn't just throw away millions of PS4 owners.
Games are planned for a long while, the shortages most likely worked in their favor if anything
I think GOW and Horizon were meant to be PS5 exclusives, but since they weren't huge leaps graphically they were able to port them to the PS4.
Nah, Sony said in advance that they'll continue to support PS4 for the first 3 years of 9th gen.
THEY FRICKING OWN JAK AND DAXTER AND SLY COOPER IPS WHY HAVEN'T THEY MADE A NEW JAK AND DAXTER AND SLY COOPER WHY????

You first, troony
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines BTFO's the entire Nintendo library.
Aw sweet two cakes!
Literally me. I finally got an xbox to play flight simulator because I didn't feel like upgrading my PC. The controls on it are shit but then I found out about gamepass and now I own all 3. Haven't touched my Swith in like a year though.
and? all the PS5 movies are on youtube
>just like Switch games
Funny.
Switch games aren’t movies, unlike PS5 games, KEK
yeah games. not movies
>admitting that you can watch and play switch games for free on pc
Funny.
Meanwhile PS5 “games” (movies) are on everything, including the switch
Can you play Helldivers 2 on the Switch?
I can't play Helldivers period, the servers are at capacity.
Its on PC, there’s literally no reason to own a PS5, even the switch is at least portable
Just like all the Switch games, which unlike Helldivers 2, are free
Yeah, but the switch has portability, meanwhile the PS5 is completely worthless
>no argument
>"muh portabilitiy"
Keep squirming.
>concedes that the PS5 is completely worthless
>still no argument
>false concession posting
Keekychooky. You can play all the switch games on PC for free, while you actually have to buy PS games on PC.
>Can you play Helldivers 2 on the Switch?
can anyone?
>game so successul that it crashed the servers
Nintendosisters.....
honestly a pretty fire lineup ngl
This is some wiiU shit
Nothing of note beyond remasters until the third year of life
And by then people just didn't care about it anymore
It honestly feels like PS5 is just here to buy time until the PS6.
It means this generation is fricked and sony is going to start over with ps6 instead of making a ps5 pro
Glad I stuck with my PS4 and Switch. I’ll just skip this and get the Switch 2 when it comes out.
Will PS6 games be compatible with the PS4?
I don't know how you can do worse than the PS4

IT’S UP
I'm surprised he wasn't utterly shilling and defending the PS5.
he won
What games does he play?
>releases one game
>immediately declares generation over and moves on to next the one
>no new games planned for the year
>It's february
Fake article or is this how bad things are for Sony? Is there even a point in making a ps6 if you have no plans to make first party games?
All three of these are sequels that are worse than their originals
Jesus tap-dancing Christ.
how the frick can these game companies be this incompetent.
>wait, didn't the PS5 just come out?
2019 was 10 years ago. Buy a PS6 already.
>PS5 comes out during the pandemic
>impossible to find from 2020-2021 because of it and the chip shortage
The console has really only been out for two years at most for most people. I honestly think Sony would be insane to release a PS6 soon and consumers would get fed up. If you're going to have to upgrade every couple of years you might as well stick with PC
Brehs, am I the only one who thinks we did a time jump during covid? The PS5 absolute does not feel 4 years old to me. And in general, 2020 feels like it's 2-3 years away at most.
Covid was 5 years ago
Anon we're in February, 2020 basically IS 3 years ago.
Nah, I feel the same and I've talked with friends about this too and they also agree. That time was so weird and disconnected from everything before and after that our brains skip over it. Covid brain damage probably doesn't help either.
It's more like 3 and a half, not quite even that just yet. PS5 released in November 2020.
The PS5 had a super weak launch because of coofid shortages. Nobody really had one until a year or two later unless they paid ridiculous scalper prices.
The coof fricked up everything. Ya couldn't even find ps5 or series X til last year. They should have delayed the launch another year. Now both MS and Sony want to put this shit show of a gen behind them and move on to the next. This will only accelerate the crash.
culturally everything feels like we've been stuck in 2016, since 2016, so no you aren't alone.
the only thing that's really changed is rich people got a lot richer and people just accepted politicians killed Jeffrey Epstein without caring at all about it.
Investor speak for "PS5 sales have peaked and we don't expect year over year sales growth in PS5 hardware from now on."
It still feels like we're in the PS4 generation
We more or less still are. Maybe not by year's end but the most interesting thing about PS5 remains that it plays PS4 games with better load times.
Same for me bur because i still have my ps4 and i care more about making a new PC.
How? IT LITERALLY JUST CAME OUT
xbox to 360 was 4 years
The Xbox was also a complete failure, the PS5 is.....nevermind
xbox did alright outside of japan for a brand new console brand
Xbox was also late to the party and 360 was early.
Seriously though, let’s all post our favorite PS5 exclusives to commemorate the console
was pretty good
No, Sony has said they aim to release PS6 in 2026-2027. This is the only generation where kids have expected it to act like a PC and never expire
>This is the only generation where kids have expected it to act like a PC and never expire
No wonder when they only use it to play Fortnite and CoD.
they cannot sell a new console if they wanted to
there's no logic for them to buy a new one when the console they bought has no games but shit they been playing for the last decade
all they'd have to do is announce PS6 with a spider-man 2 "remaster" for launch and hordes of mutts would line up and go "AYYYYY SENPAI THAT'S LITTY BUSSIN XBOX LOST THE PS6 IS CRAZY BRUH"
Can we expect a price drop then? I'm still waiting for a PS5 Pro or a price drop. This is probably gonna be the last gen with physical media, so I better buy like 2 PS5's at the very least before going full PC.
OH NO NO NO NO NO:
KEEP
Reddit.
Seriously though, this gen was such a nothingburger it's insane.
It really feels like we reached some kind of breaking point. Apparently AAA games now take longer to develop than the fricking console's entire lifespan. You wait years for a sequel that is barely different and not an improvement over the previous title at all, while during PS2 era you could get 2-3 games of one series, year after year, and they all made huge improvements with every instance.
Sure, Covid did frick up things a bit, but i genuinely feel like this was the worst "modern" console generation in history. Even an amazing lineup next year won't save it at this point.
regress back to ps2 era assets but with good framerates and resolution
i dont need it to look hyper realistic motioncapped and take 6 years to make
i just want it to look like a videogame
not happening outside of indies and AA
Which is to say it’s happening daily
This would solve the frick out of things in terms of getting good games at a decent rate again.
PS6 with Deep Down as a launch title.
Finally. It's time to move on to $899 PS6 and $100 AAAA games
dude looks like he huffs jude farts
how do you think this dude feels now
Ps5 has been neck and neck with ps4 for a while, but I think with it missing holiday sales targets by 4 million, and not having a single high profile first party game, exclusive or not, for over a year at minimum, it's going to start lagging behind. This was the part of the ps4's life that had the pro for double dipping, and regardless of their quality, a wave of high profile "prestige" exclusives such as horizon, spiderman, and god of war. Ps5 really only has gta6 in its future, and that's quite a ways off still too.
The PS5 is pretty much just a PS4 Pro Pro
Ps4pro remastered
>buy a PS5 last year because I wanted to go on a vacation, and buying something and redeeming credit card points was cheaper than booking a hotel in cash
>the only games I'll have to remember it by are Death Stranding 2, Stellar Blade, and the fact that Fortnite runs a little better
>bought ps5
>plays fortnite
>credit card goy
That's 3 strikes, you have to go back.
using a credit card literally makes money for you if you empty it at the end of each month, dumbass.
It makes dumb mutts like you comfortable with debt, which is the whole point and also the reason why all you frickers are in the red.
That's a whole lot of poorgay projection
Once you're an adult you'll stop buying stuff with your debit card because you literally get free money for using a credit card.
Unfortunately, if you want to actually get any sort of real high finance shit done, like a bank loan, you have to have a credit score, which means you have to use and pay off credit cards
it's an incredibly shitty system, honestly, but them's the breaks.
You can game the credit cards if you are disciplined. 0% interest, points, etc. However, the large majority of people aren't disciplined and is why they have those offers. Lure them in and then frick them when they miss a payment or run up the balance too high.
>imagine needing a loan in the first place. NGMI
Unless we're talking buying property..
but aside from that, stay debt free like a real man
A lot of hotels and rental car agencies won't let you book or tack on extra fees if you don't have a credit card.
Even if you hate the system, it's better to have one as a just in case.
American issue.
No shit homosexual do you want me to uproot my life to go life in shitholeistan across the globe?
I work with a zoomer that financed a $24,000 truck, and a large portion was payed with his credit card. He is paying interest on the loan and interest on his card. I think zoomers are literally moronic.
>credit card goy
Yes I will take the free money
> Almost 7 years between ps3 and ps4
>Almost 7 years between ps4 and ps5
>its been 3 years since the ps5 was released and they already want to make ps6
Uh oh...
Why tf are console generations getting shorter?
Latter stage of it's life cycle makes perfect sense if you aren't moronic. Console's been out for 4 years. PS4 came out in 2013 and PS5 came out in 2020 if you don't remember it xoomer.
Ps3 and ps4 had weak starts (in terms of software for ps4 at least), with strong back halves of their respective generations. Ps5 had a weaker start than either of them, and now sony is announcing it's beginning its first year of the second half without a SINGLE game.
PS4 and PS3 had shitty starts like you said, so what if latter half is amazing? Biggest games of PS4 came out in 2016-2019 I would say and biggest games of PS3 came out between 2009 and 13. PS5 can see something similar if they aren't moronic.
PS6 is targeting 2028 regardless. They won't release a PS6 in 2027.
>if they aren't moronic
Big if.
>so what if latter half is amazing?
Well, according to sony, they're not releasing even one high profile 1st party for the next year, AT MINIMUM. This is not a what if, this is a what IS.
>PS6 is targeting 2028
Again, not according to sony.
You are just bending the words like the journalists are doing for clicks. Latter half means next 3-4 years. Not next year dumbo.
No, you're a moronic shill fantasizing about if sony weren't both greedy and moronic, while I'm talking about the actual things sony themselves announced.
This issue isn't only affecting Sony. It's the industry as a whole. Game development has become way too bloated to be sustainable.
No, you want reasons to be angry at Sony due to Gankerintendo propaganda.
>sony literally states that there will be zero high profile first party releases until AT LEAST april 2025, possibly longer
>"B-but what if there still was?!"
What first party PS4 game was released in 2015(PS4 equivalent of 2024)? I don't remember anything. PS4 was also carried out by it's third party output during that time period.
>What first party PS4 game was released in 2015
The one
The only
The legend
It's not a first party game. It's made by Fromsoft.
5 more years...unironically
I'm sick to death of you morons thinking Bloodborne's still worth a damn, I played it so much that it's linearity made me hate it, no matter what build I tried to make, at least 40% of each NG run was the fricking same thanks to your stupid fricking trick weapons being so few and far between, and having a specific weapon instead of a weapon class, meaning if I want to use a greatsword, there's one, maybe two options, and if I want to use a greathammer, I'm stuck with just the Kirkhammer in it's tricked state.
it's shit, it's settings all look the fricking same, and I think you all mistook edge for depth.
>muh builds
Best combat in the series
>'muh builds'
>he thinks building a character isn't important to these games
>'best combat in the series'
>the most unpunishing combat in the series because so few PvE entities can defend against gunshots and have so few ways to punish you for dodge-spamming
imagine playing Bloodborne after playing Dark Souls 2 and cope-posting that the pinnacle of Bloodborne is the hunter enemies because they have the same abilities you do, and then saying the downfall of Dark Souls 2 is two many guys in armor with swords and shields.
the hunters are the ONLY good fights in Bloodborne.
Who gives a shit about countless interchangable weapons in other games when trick weapons are vastly different from one another? And yes BB is better than previous games since it isn't a backstab fest. There is a reason why DK3 took cues from it
Yeah, I don't really care about builds, or playing Souls games a thousand times.
When they make a "Bloodborne Rematered" for all consoles in 5 years you Sonygays are going to be pissed.
>he can't even count
Ps4 was released in 2013
Ps5 in 2020
Ps4's equivalent to ps5's 2024 would be 2017.
2013+4=2015?
November 2020 > February 2024 isn't quite 4 years. You're about 9 months short.
>announcing your console is at the 3nd of its life and you have no games planned for the ENTIRETY of 2024 is good and to be expected
Lmao you are coping hard. The whole industry is banking on gta6 and they are finished otherwise. Let it all crash
Are there any other major games coming out? I can't actually think of any in a general sense.
Not that guy but, I do wonder how many people still care about GTAVI.
I will say this, there's not a single video game worth a 10+ development cycle.
Maybe I'm just out of touch.
PS5 came out in December 2020 and it was unavailable for the vast majority until 2023
PS5 is barely tracking behind PS4 in units sold. As many people bought it as other Playstations.
>they use their credit cards for more than buying gas and absolute emergencies
>absolute emergencies
Credit cards aren't a substitute for an "oh shit" fund. They're better for daily and vacation spending, but emergencies should be paid for in cash, doubly so if you're not disciplined in handling debt.
I use my credit card for everything as it gives a nice cashback reward. I pay it all back at the end of the week anyway since I'm not an irresponsible moron and never get charged interest
enjoy your shit credit score after barely using your creditcard for 10 years
burgers have a literal social credit system and are obsessed with it
What fricking country are you from that doesn't have credit cards?
we do have them, most people use debit instead and no one cares about "credit score" or whatever dystopian bullshit you gays are always spewing
How do Americans seriously criticize chinks and call them CCP slaves when they have the same system?
Yeah, no, credit score is absolutely useless and a literal Black person israelite scam used to control the poor, Credit score is absolutely useless for everything but leasing agreements Credit score is even useless for House buying now, as the entire system has been rigged against you. If you unironically use Credit to consoom blindly you are a mentally stunted moron that is only exasperating the problem. Just like most Sony gays.
I use my credit card for %100 of my purchases not counting drugs and rent.

I fricking hate sony so much for that Horizon nepotism fiasco, they deserve to die.
Sony invented AAA with FF7, reap what you sow
PS5 is pathetic but, somehow the Xbox is even worse.
Xbox is harmless because Microsoft multiplats, Sony is annoying because it has shit like timed exclusives.
??? Xbox damn well has timed exclusives. I'm still waiting to play Hi-Fi Rush.
Anon..
Not gonna spend $2000 to play it
Uh huh moron
Now tell me where I said "timed CONSOLE exclusive".
any PC can run that shit

You can pirate it right now moron
Stop being poor
You're not a real gaymer if you don't have a pc
Don't worry guys tlou2 remaster will save ps5
Covid-19 and chip shortages really fricked the ps5. Is it possible that it will sell less than the ps3?
>AAA is falling in under its own weight
>In the movie industry cape shit slop is collapsing
About time.
>In the movie industry cape shit slop is collapsing
Too bad it'll be 10 years before we even see a change. Hollywood has their schedule all the way until 2031 booked.
Playstation is done for. Who in the right mind would buy a PS6 after this shitfest? Sony already confirmed that PC is their focus now anyway and pretty much everything is a planned day-1 multiplatform release. Which means the Playstation just ends up being a mediocre pre-build PC you can only play certain games on.
XBOX has already seen a taste of that with this generation - Nobody bought a Series X either - because why would you?
The PS6 will sell even worse and after that they will just XBOX and both become third party publishers.
Playstation is too big to die. If ps3 didn't kill them then nothing will
Ps3 nearly took down sony as a whole. Granted, it's because they expected to sell a $3000-4000 sony hd tv with every ps3 sold, so a lot of the loss shifts to other divisions.
No one is too big to die. The 360 dominated its generation early but people stopped giving a shit cause XBOX had the brilliant idea to stop releasing actual games for it and focused on Kinect waggle shit instead in hope to compete with the Wii. That resulted into the shitfest that was the OG XBOX One and the rest is history. Sony only recovered from the laughing stock that was the PS3 by actually releasing some games for it while XBOX was being moronic.
The PS4 dominating as hard as it did was also not Sonys achievement but the result of the Wii U and XBOX bombing.
The PS5 meanwhile sells worse and with nothing getting released for it there is no way for it to turn the narrative around. People will really think twice before buying a PS6 - especially now that more and more people are on PC and not really focused on consoles anymore period. The zoomers and gen-alphas never grew up with big console fights - they grow up with endless liveservice shit. They are not loyal to the PS or the XBOX - they are loyal to Fortnite, Roblox and their shitty mobile games.
Nintendo had bad sales with the Wii U and they recovered fine afterwards. As long as Sony doesn't do an Xbone tier frick up, they'll be fine
Nintendo
>can keep budgets in check
>was coming off of the absurd twin successes of the wii and ds
>had the 3ds to buoy them
>actually made money on the wiiu, even if it wasn't as much as they would have hoped
Nintendo recovered by sticking to their old ways but releasing a system that isn't complete dogshit
>lets make a tablet hybrid system so people can also play on the go
>and by on the go we mean you have to be close to the TV and console at all times
Sony and MS won't recover cause their strategy is essentially giving up. MS might still make a new XBOX but you see where the trend is going with them openly asking for releases on Playstation and Switch.
And Sony also say that Playstation cannot survive on Playstation hardware alone and that PC day 1 releases are the way to go. Especially now that Helldivers 2 is breaking all the records. Sony will never wanna miss out on those day 1 hypes again.
And that just means that a Playstation console loses even more value.
Well the strategy for them is to simply release games like they did with the ps3
sony has too low of a profit margin to frick themselves like the wiiu and recover. they almost went down with the PS3, that lost all the money they made with the PS2
TOO
BIG
TO
FAIL
LAMO
Anon I don't know how old you think zoomers are. I'm a zoomer and consolewars were my childhood.
Either way you're right about Xbox. Crazy to think I'd probably still be an Xboner now if they didn't start their downfall with the Kinect.
quite literally the big reason sony was able to recover from the ps3 is because xbox and nintendo both went full moron the following generation and sony was able to capitalize on that
Truly awful era of gaming but, worst thing of all it it lacks its own identity. Just a bunch of remakes and the saddest part is the remakes are among the best games of the generation.
Nothing original whatsoever
Was Dunkey right?
>Was Dunkey reddit?
Yes, yes he was. Now frick off.
Imagine if Sony and Microsoft instead of overpaying for third-rate studios and timed exclusives.
Used that cash to create more internal development studios
Companies back in the days made trends - Nowadays everything is run by the investors and sales departments so they just follow trends instead.
SNES vs Megadrive/Genesis was Mario vs Sonic
PS1 vs N64 was Spyro/Crash vs Banjo and Mario
The PS2 had such a long lifespan it generated multiple big hitters and trends - but especially GTA really got big there
The PS3 vs 360 days were all about muh Halo vs muh Killzone
But now? Everyone lives in their own bubble with APEX, Fortnite, LoL and Roblox. Multiplatform games that are so big they are bigger than any console in history.
Don't forget the rise in crossplatform games.
Granted, there aren't enough that it doesn't still impose limitations in "what can I play tonight with my friends," but CoD, Fortnite, and a few others can be played across all systems with others. Companies going bullish on good exclusives would probably sell their hardware better, but it seems like they want to start releasing their stuff on PC now anyway (not that I'm complaining).
Cross play taking off in the 2nd half of last gen was an inflection point people haven’t realized yet, it broke down so many barriers in such a short time that it led to your choice of console largely just becoming about where your game library is or if you preferred a few exclusives

This gen needs to be an additional 4 years. We're really seeing the diminishing returns with each console generation, I don't even see the difference.
>This gen needs to be an additional 4 years.
Frick you, take this shit out back and Old Yeller it so we can move the frick on.
>thinking a new console is going to fix the lack of games
No. Fix this gen before worrying about the next.
OR invigorate the current gen in the back half of its life (and extend it, if you must) so that it's not a complete failure?
Why are you desperate to shell another $600 for a hardware upgrade to "move the frick on" to a company who will not learn their damn lesson.
Bitch, 6th gen lasted 5 years. 7-6 years is the average console generation
And? This gen should be 11 years if technology is advancing at a snail's pace
And still there will be no IPs from their own studios and major franchises until March 2025
*at least April 2025
Doesn't mean that they're immediately going to release one that month. That's just when their next fiscal year ends, and they've promised that there won't be any at all during the next fiscal year.
It will be the same as with Xbox, when they announced that there would be a drought in the first years of the Xbox Series, and they started releasing more games a date later than they said they would.
https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/10/21060771/microsoft-xbox-series-x-exclusive-games-launch-backwards-compatibility
Phil Spencer called it a disaster when they had that gap until Starfield/Forza. I guess PlayStation gets to coast on previous success (more people having a game library on PS4/5)
Isn't Xbox the king of backwards compatibility though?
My friend has one and he's able to play original Xbox games on it.
I mean it is especially since you can use a modded Xbox as an emulation machine. Although it’s only a fraction (less than 33%) of Xbox and 360 games that are backwards compatible
Oh, I didn't realize that the number was that low.
All Xbox One games should be available on the Series consoles though, right?
Yes, they are.
The number sounds low but it’s a pretty good selection still
>admits that he cannot read
Snoytards may be annoying, but hispanics are worse. It said that no EXISTING franchises will get a new game until 2025. I am surrounded by browns.
And did I say the opposite? I am saying that despite the fact that it has 2-3 years of life left, between this one and the next one, there will be no first party games
moron
>moronic brown claims that Snoys won't have new 1st party games until 2025.
>the article clearly states that no new EXISTING 1st party Snoy games won't come out until 2025., meaning that brand new IPs are on the table
Snoys are pathetic, but brownoids and their refusal to read is something else.
read moron
no one says it will be right when they say it will, it may take longer
It's funny how console wars pretty much died this generation due to both Sony and MS being absolutely pathetic.
The only thing we got is people getting mad at Nintendo and their success but that isn't the same as the Don Mattrick bullying, the Wii60 days.
>PS5 is finally available in stores consistently
>still gets outsold by the Switch which is in its 7th year
>Sony pulls the plug
What can they even do? Can't even wait for GTA 6 and the hype there due to the game already releasing on XBOX and PS5.
Ps5 outsold the shitch, darren
https://www.polygon.com/23589062/nintendo-switch-third-best-selling-game-console
Switch gays will never recover from this absolute mogging.
They got fricked by shortages and now that they're available, there's no hype.
This whole console generation has hone on too long.
New Nintendo system now
>Going to completely skip an entire generation of game consoles
I don't think Switch counts, it's already been out for 7 years. First time I've done this though, there have been almost no reasons to buy a console. Mostly because games are generally all on PC at this point. I think the only game that has or is coming out any time soon that could challenge that for me is the next part of the FF7 remake.
>The Wii U has 4x the exclusives that the PS5 has even if you remove all the titles that got Switch ports later
PS5 is officially worse than PS3
let that sink in
Worse. It's more pathetic than the Wii U
I feel bad because the only Nintendo product I've ever owned is Wii U.
Talk about rolling the dice and coming up snake eyes.
PS3 had Folklore in its first year. Okay game, but I'll take it over most of the PS5 lineup.
I wonder how the pandemic affected the Switch's sales? It certainly was the only system that didn't have shortages and a lot of sales peaked during that years. It will be interesting to see how the next system will do. Knowing Nintendo, either a total flop or a total success.
If the rumors are true and Nintendo really has some big hitters lined up as launch titles - like a new 3D Mario, new Animal Crossing, new Mario Kart, or even Smash. That would be enough to ensure another generation of Nintendo domination.
Cause at the same time you have Sony saying that they got literally nothing for the PS5 until late 2025 assuming no delays happen - and delays are pretty much guaranteed these days.
Smash isn't happening. New switch will be backwards compatible and a new smash will probably come out closer to like 2028.
If they make an animal crossing, it better be an actual full game this time. New horizons had less than half the content that new leaf did.
Smash Ultimate support ended 3 years ago. And you can bet your ass the team wasn't exclusively working on one single character during those battle pass months. They were already working on the next title. So whatever they have been doing be it a new Smash or something else has been in core development for 3-4 years already.
Maybe it isn't Smash. But whatever they are making is definitely gonna make the news.
Doesn't really mean much. Wii U had Smash, BOTW and mean more and it still flopped. It depends on what gimmick the Switch successor will have.
All the Switch 2 needs is being the Switch again. Being the last true handheld console is enough to get people to buy it. That and Nintendo now is way stronger than ever before. A lot of games hit the mainstream during the Switch years. Animal Crossing on Switch sold more than the entire series combined and a weird Wii U title like Splatoon ended up being a +10 million seller.
That and people are starved for a more powerful platform. Give them some beautiful graphics on that new Mario game and they will eat it.
Possibly, but still. Whenever Nintendo bets on a existing gimmick, think N64 to Gamecube, Wii to Wii u, the successor console seems to struggle massively. Still, even when these home consoles flopped, Nintendo had their handhelds to save them. A lot of variables regarding the Switch successor. It is fun to speculate. Frick it, time for some predictions. Switch will outsell the PS2, PS5 will sell between 105-120 million. Don't really know what kind of effect will GTA 6 have on sales, especially considering that Sony plans to release the pro version soon. Xbox, now that is tough to crack. Final estimate between 60-80 million.
BotW came out with the Switch, I didn't even know it was out on WiiU until weeks later. Everyone I saw in that first day trying to find a Switch was also getting BotW for Switch.
Wii u still had Smash, Xenoblade, Mario and a lot of other shit. It managed to sell less than Vita. Still a peculiar console.
Wasn't this last Smash supposed to be the last one ever, and that's why they added all of the characters from the previous games?
This is a really weird console generation. We're basically midway through the cycle and it feels like I'm still waiting for it to actually "start". Say what you want about Nintendo and underpowered hardware, not to mention Disney-like weirdo fanbase, but at least the Switch feels like it has an identity. PS5 and Xbox X|S both just feel like addendums to their predecessors rather than actual successors.
Ironically it makes sense considering Xbox basically wanted to get rid of the idea of console generations. The PS5 in that case feels a bit more disappointing since it’s not gonna live up to any expectations
Nintendo learned the hard way with WiiU how important it was to establish identity early on, which is weird considering how good they were at doing just that with Wii.
Imagine If the 32X didn't have standalone games but simply just improved regular MegaDrive games.
That's the PS5 and Xbone.
the thing is that AAA developing time now ensures that basically no big release comes out in the first half of the generation
Because thats what Sony and MS wanted them to be. Just extensions of the last generation rather than a new big step forward.
XBOX didn't wanna lose anyone so they made a very big deal out of the whole backwards compatibility thing and Playstation with its own system while wonly - basically did the same. They wanted to keep the success of the PS4 going.
Nintendo meanwhile just threw all that Wii shit out of the window - killed their older stores - and forced people to rebuy everything for the 3rd time. But that makes the Switch definitely its own ecosystem.
Which makes me wonder just how well a "Switch 2" will do if its really just "Switch but faster with backwards comp"
Nintendo won't make the same mistake of releasing new games on both switch 1 and switch 2. Everything that came out on ps5 was on ps4 too for like 2-3 years. If you wanna play the new mario, new zelda, and new pokemon, it won't be playable on the switch 1.
I think Switch is the refresh Nintendo needed to make a long-term platform like what Sony and MS are trying to do, except Nintendo will have more actual video games. They were clearly flying bling in the Wii era regarding internet implementation, but I think they've put in some effort to create a sustainable ecosystem to where the next console can just support the last one, online purchases and all. At least, I certainly hope so. Nintendo officially catching up on that front alone is worth a successor.
None of them can afford to wipe game libraries in the era of digital releases, but yes the Switch pushed Nintendo into feeling a bit more modern and not the niche gimmick that people grew to see the Wii and Wii U as. It would be suicide for Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo to not be backwards compatible, so while they are “long term” console systems, it does also make them feel more like upgrades rather than entire new consoles and generations
I remember getting PS4 at $170, is it even worth it to get a PS5 at that price?
At that price yes because it’s just gonna run your games better, but at this point you’re buying a PS5 expecting it to play mostly PS4 games or remasters for PS5
>is it even worth it to get a PS5 at that price?
if you like your PS4 yes. the PS5 is a glorified PS4 pro pro
>All these morons putting togethor pictures of PS5 games
>Not a single mention of actually one of the better exclusives between this and last gen
Dreams was too good for this world.
Sopa de macaco
That's just Playstation's Mario Maker.
Yeah it's good for the niche that it serves, but it's embarrassing to call it a selling point.
Can't believe covid killed both Sony and MS.
Imagine how different those platforms could have performed if not for the coof delaying everything and completely destroying the global supply chain.
The Switch only remained in stock cause it had been out for a while and production was already at its peak.
The Switch had multiple strong games in its first couple of years. Launched with the huge hit BotW, then later in that year the huge hit Odyssey. One year later a new Smash game.
And Animal Crossing just happend to release at the time where everyone was no longer allowed to go outside due to lockdowns

Basically everything worked in Nintendos favor with the coof.
It also helps when the games are fun, or the games exist at all.
>want to play games
>first thought is Playstation
Why am I South American in your example?
It wasn't COVID, they stopped giving people what they wanted. I don't care how much reddit begs for POC and unattractive women, internally they and everyone else doesn't want those characters.
Nintendo does POC characters well
Donkey Kong isn't politically charged though. In all seriousness the intent of the character makes the difference, some POC character are made just to say frick white people; and that's pretty much all the Sony ones.
>some POC character are made just to say frick white people; and that's pretty much all the Sony ones.
To be fair, that chick from Stellar Bade is probably made to frick white people, men especially.
Korean men need to back off the makeup if they have a problem with it.
>be moronic and launch console early for no reason with no plans for 9th gen exclusives for years out
>also get burned by random event
Lol get fricked. Sony should have launched a handheld console in 2020 if they were smart. But they're not.
The most insulting thing is releasing the PlayStation Portal. That should've been the next PSP but I guess they will never release a handheld ever again after the Vita failure.
If we do get a portable Xbox I assume they’ll take a crack at one again, or maybe they won’t because at that point + switch 2 it will be too saturated of a market
I hope either of them takes a crack at it with care, and don't go the Xbox route of the halfassed Kinect.
Some Korean asscheeks game is really going to be the only PS5 exclusive I want to play, huh.
Sad it's locked to the ps5. I want to support them but I'm not buying a ps5 just for that game.
Shouldn't have closed down Japan Studios they least could have worked on smaller projects to pad out the embarrassing catalog least glad they are hurting for shutting them down at least.
On the contrary, I'm glad most of the talent got out with their dignity intact. Modern Sony doesn't deserve Japan Studio.
Could they at least lower the fricking price then? I'm not spending 500 on a box with three games.
with their awful profits from the last Q report that's the last thing they could do, probably thinking about raising prices even further.
don't worry, we've got another price increase coming !
more price increases than games even !
After increasing the price on the console and services last year they'd piss what's left of their fan base off who am I kidding Snoys would slurp it up.
God I'm glad I bought a PS4 instead of a PS5
>PS5 lived and died without having a single game worth buying it for
lmao
>PS5 lived and died without having a single game
things are not that bad. don't exaggerate.
>existing 1st party
>new IPs
Yup.
lol im not trying to damage control sony, i have been very vocal about their abandoning japan and other studios for western "cinematic" slop.
that said im excited for several asian games.
if anything Lies of P delivered.
ayo that like when you say im gonna go take a piss but really you just bounce?
>Wukong is on PS5
Damn.
2/3 of those are already confirmed for PC, why would I get the objectively inferior version on consoles?
Consoles are no longer trendsetters that divide fanbases. They are just shitty unpowered PCs.
The "Sonic vs Mario" or "Halo vs Killzone" days are over. All the big titles these days that all the normalgays play are multiplat. People on Playstation play Fortnite, same with XBOX users and PC users. Nobody shouts "HAHA PLAYSTATION SUCKS DICK" cause nobody gives a shit. They all play the same liveservice slop. It doesn't matter which platform you use - nobody is getting elitist over that.
>They all play the same liveservice slop.
GoWs, horizons, spidermans and TLOU (the first one) sold like 20 million each.
I always thought console wars were cancer but man, gaming was so much better when that was the norm.
ONE GAME
Its actually embarrassing to think that playstation 5 has had no games, not even on par with the ps4 launch titles.
>Sony fired all the writers from Silk series and wants to turn it into a show with big male-skewing audience
>Stellar Blade
Slowly but steady.
where are all the games
we used to joke about ps3 but that had so many more games
are these PS3 games in the room with you right now ?
>release like 10 first party exclusive games
>alright get ready to buy the next playstation!
If you remove all the PS4, PC titles and only look at the true actual exclusives.
That only leaves one game ignoring the Astrobot tech demo.
And that is Destruction Allstars as the sole true PS5 exclusive
>Helldivers 2 already made their money back
>reaching CS2 numbers on Steam
>most played PS5 multiplayer game, beating Fortnite and CoD
Sony should have probably released it on Xbox too. Also, arrowhead is probably getting bought by Sony, same way as Housemarque
Xbox is objectively the best console this gen. BC with Xbox one, 360 and select OG Xbox games. Emulation im dev mode makes it capable of emulating all the way to Wii. Great machine. Probably will get it.
Aside from the Xbone I tend to prefer Xbox as far as hardware goes they just usually don’t have the first party games aside from the 360.
>Xbox is objectively the best console this gen.
lol. hardware wise yes. Easily THE best xbox console ever. and that's the problem, they royally failed to make it work. Everything else from the games to the UI design is dogshit. MS proved this gen that they are completely incompetent at adding anything of value to gaming. shitposting aside, i don't see anything ever improving. it's the slow boiling frog. this year Sea of thieves on the PS5, next year Starfield.
>of those are already confirmed for PC
so it's a good thing i have a ps5 where i can play literally, everything.
Unironically, as a guy that usually considers Sony games on PC a betrayal, I would 100% support this coming to PC. it just make sense, it's a powerful tool that could benefit the PS community having more people make creations.
>so it's a good thing i have a ps5 where i can play literally, everything, in an objectively inferior way.
FTFY
>in an objectively inferior way.
broooooo 2006 called.
Damn, its almost been 20 years and the gap between PC and consoles has only widened further, must suck being a snoytroon
>Everything else from the games to the UI design is dogshit.
its the same games and generic UI like everything else, tard
Bring back the PS4 design. At least that shit had CUSTOM THEMES
4K and the push for photorealism ruined gaming , prove me wrong
You can still do photorealism with less than 100 million dollars.
now do it with 4K assets, and make it open world, and a live service
What would new hardware accomplish that the ps5 can't already do? They are completely overshooting the market
I refuse to buy another Sony console, they have no idea what the frick they're doing. Actually I have now been reminded to cancel my ps+ subscription
People need to consoom. PS5 is only slightly lagging behind PS4 and the first 2 years of its lifecycle was basically like a water in a desert. It looks to me like Sony has a pretty consistent crowd, kinda like Apple.
Apple has a crowd because of its consistency of shit that "just werks"
PS5 is pretty similar if you're a child or uneducated
pc fats daydreaming as per always
uga buga
I just got mine a few months ago and could care less about their 1st party garbage. This shit is just starting with Dragon Dogma 2 releasing in March.
Sony won the console war. Too bad all that is left is rubble and ash.
>got me a miyoo mini plus with garlic OS loaded up
>just going to play bunch of shit I never played on it
>going to keep playing Quake 2 mp on my pc
It’s wild how much of a blur this generation has been. What a fricking nothing burger.
I just wanna play some good games, thats all i want, I've played so many older games on my emustation but i want something new. Sony shit is always the same formulaic bullshit. Helldivers 2 was somewhat fun when it actually works. On my PC i have so many games, that i honestly paralyzed with choice. If there is one thing Sony does better its letting stay focused on one game.
Start by playing Yakuza 0, and then the rest of the Yakuza games.
