I think the console makers will retire because hey are witnessing the end of their niche. The only game makers left in 5 years will be Nintendo with their handicapped games and PC. Handheld PCs will also be more relevant thanks to the improvement on the SS technologies
>end of their niche
>larger sales figures than ever before
Stop being a retard
More like now it is harder and takes longer to make vidya, there are more platforms so normies dont dedicate a console in their hom as they have phones, hence why portables are dead and nintendo had to go hybrid.
Steaming etc means less need for the hardware too.
Overall console gaming is directed at actual gamers now rather than like the xbone launch "TV TV TV" trying to make it an entertainment centre.
The exception being nintendo is still marketed and will always be marketed at family entertainment.
Xbox as a brand is no longer really based around the console hardware but gay pass, streaming, PC.
Sony selling their IPs on PC as well being a more logical financial decision as too is PC gaming becoming more mainstream.
tl;dr console games take more time and money to produce and it is more financially viable to make them multiplatform.
That makes sense, thank you for your contribution.
>More like now it is harder and takes longer to make vidya
Not it fucking isn't, just don't pump 500 million into marketing and another 500 million into creating textures for rocks that no one cares about
To add to this as I forgot, the scamdemic and scalpers made PS5 hard to get so games that would have not been released on PS4, were released on PS4 and visa versa that dwindles the numbers for both console exclusive count.
My guess is games like CP2077 would have been on PS5 only if it wasnt for the scamdemic. Not that it is exclusive just using that game as an example.
GoW ragnarok would have been PS5 only..
As it is now there are only a handful of games that has not dropped last gen yet.
It takes much longer to make games now you tard, more tech increases dev time.
Look at GTA 3, VC, SA all pumped out in a 3 year cycle, 1 year each. Sure SA is a bit of a mess and needed more time but 3 and vc are top tier quakity games, released less than 1 year apart.
Now look at GTAV, how long that took, and specifically GTA6 I would expect they have been developing it for like 7 years now most likely not including idea stage.
Sure they have continuously re-released GTAV to israelite people out for shark cards still it is not like they could pump out GTA7, 8, 9 within 3 years like they did with 3,VC and SA.
It would take at least 3 years dev time per game and that is using same engine and asset flipping.
nagger they could pump out games as fast as they did back then if they didn't make shitty open world activities no one wants and grafix that look like shit anyway
>it is not like they could pump out GTA7, 8, 9 within 3 years like they did with 3,VC and SA.
they could if they actually reused their engine and assets instead of doing the same asinine shit everyone does of rebuilding EVERYTHING from scratch every single time
it's all realism slop anyway, nobody is going to notice asset reuse because you're literally building the same assets twice anyway, given you're always aiming for muh realism
>Overall console gaming is directed at actual gamers now
then explain all the movie game slop
>movie game slop
You sound like a buzzword spouting retard.
Only movie games I have seen (though not played) is the dark pictures anthology games and tLoU 2.
If you are a retard that counts having a story as a movie game then do us all a favour and KYS for the betterment of the gene pool.
Gone are the days of "there is an ancient evil awoken, go save the princess in the castle"
>movie games aren't real-ACK
>GoW has a hidden loading screen that plays while the environment changes
>next news, water is wet.
Do you know what an interlude is in story telling anon?
Without having to use a search engine (you being a retard probably use google)
Maybe when 95% of the game is cutscenes and hidden loading screens there's a blatant problem that needs to be addressed.
>I have not played teh game I just spout retarded buzzwords.
The game is like 80% game, 10% cutscenes telling a great story BTW, and 10% hidden loading screens.
Which all GoW games have had.
Even GoW ragnarok has hidden loading to keep it in line with other GoW games, despite the PS5 version would not need it at all.
accept that not everything will cater to your tastes and then go back to playing Mario Wonder please
so you accept they are just movies instead of games, i accept your concession
I'm not even that anon. Them having slightly more story than the boilerplate save the princess from the awoken evil story is what I am pointing at. Clearly you don't like it. You're showing your autism in being unable to understand why people may think or feel differently to you.
so you're telling me they not just movies, but also shit movies that barely are above excuse plots
got it
Correct.
The best games this year and last year were multiplats.
TotK this year nintendo only?
What games are you thinking last year?
ToTK was a mid sequel that isn't as innovative as BOTW nor addresses any of the issues it had
Everybody's aware that PC will overtake anything and everything in their path to the point where bloodborne is literally the only exclusive left in the world. Why bother making attempts at exclusives when you know PCs will get them eventually regardless of how hard you try to prevent it?
PC has a very firm ceiling that it’s unlikely to break. Those millions of sales are from people who would never sit at a desk and punch keys. Every time I play a game on Xbox that’s also available on PC, half the posts in the general are about problems that I can’t relate to in the slightest. Consoles are simple and they work.
Now, they do have access to many more games than a console, more power, modding, development, and everything a computer does. If you can bring that into a convenient console experience, then the dinosaurs will die
I prefer console gaming, PC brings a multitude of issues that console players dont experience. Pme noticeable thing being cheaters/hackers etc, any game that allows us to play with PC players are full of shitters.#Also any tard that cares about FPS, resolution of any graphical settings over just simply playing a game for fun gameplay should be ignored
>don't be tech-illiterate
>don't have problems
>don't have to deal with tech-illiterate people
Yup, the throne remains comfortable.
I think PC is evolving to become more user friendly and console like and consoles are evolving to become more free to some degree. That's what that anon is saying
exclusives were dumb in the first place not to mention maliciously anti-customer.
Precisely. Anyone who's ever argued for exclusives is a bootlicking homosexual with a corp dick up his ass.
Wikipedia pedotroon tendie mods are taking off games from ps5 list for no reason, your numbers are not accurate
Oh yes it is.
Post the real list then
>for no reason
they released on PC
Games are a lot more resource intensive to create nowadays so while the PS5 exclusive list is much smaller the actual quality of the games is much higher than the exclusives of previous consoles.
This does sound like something someone with extreme brain cancer would say. Good image choice.
Games are more important than the platform. Snoys and Nintroondrones fail to understand this, hence the eternal spergwar.
>It's pretty clear grapes are alot less important than they used to be. What do you think about this?
I think gaming is dead.
Just in general.
>On Ganker
>Gaming is dead
>No soul, has soul
Holy shit you people are so braindead
So unimportant it's totally not aligned with sales numbers or anything. Retard.
It should be unimportant but only a moron would think it currently is.
It's pretty clear that 5+ year development times for single games isn't sustainable
The new AI tech will be implemented in vidya soon at it will dramatically reduce time and costs of development.
Artists and VAs are on borrowed time. They will never be completely made redundant but the amount needed will be dramatically reduced.
You know what's really fucked up? The industry keeps shitting out slop after slop so fucking awful that AI would be an unironic improvement.
idk wtf you are talking about, this year has been solid game after solid game. Sure there are shit games and even hogwarts legacy uses ubisoft cut n paste but there has been solid games all year.
The main reason why I got a PS1-PS5 is to keep buying physical copies.
Fuck digital
>The main reason why I got a PS1-PS5 is to keep buying physical copies.
>Fuck digital
This is me too. However:
>Started in to factor in if (when) Sony's servers go offline, I will no longer be able to re-update any games I re-install - which locks me out of my save file. Does not help that most games have day 1 patches.
>With PS5, I cannot even back up my save data without signing up for Sony's subscription service to host it on their servers (until those too inevitably go offline.)
I am a hardcore physicalfag, no but I have to be worry about NONE of this shit with PC. Absolute freedom. I still buy physical copies of games I enjoy and devs I want to support, but I will be damned if I put all my stocks in the modern console market.
Good. I shouldn't have to buy underpowered dogshit hardware just to play some 'exclusive' game at 25fps
This is good. Exclusivity is stupid. Games are art and should not be restricted to certain groups of people based on what plastic box they choose to buy or not to buy. It just punishes customers and only benefits platform holders and I'm surprised it's celebrated. But it's my fault for expecting more from an industry run on hype and marketing rather than appreciating the actual qualities of games.
PS5 dropping exclusives saved me 500€ that I could use on a better GPU instead. Thanks Sony.
Combination of change in focus for developers leading to fewer big studio releases and more universal console design making porting easier. When the PS5, Xbox whatever, and Switch all function pretty similarly it's easy for third party devs to release their game on every one of them without too much extra work which wasn't the case for the PS1, N64 and Sega Saturn. That leads to most exclusives being ones the console makers are willing to pay for exclusivity on which is naturally going to be way fewer games than when it was a decision made by the developers.
Make exclusives games
They don't sell
You shutdown the studio
Well played snoy
