        the switch exists in a weird state of flux. i'm not sure what gen it is. even ps4/xbone era games were missing it and nearly all ps5/xsx ones are. i will 100% call it last gen and group it with the ps4 once the switch 2 is out though.

            That's moronic. The Switch is Nintendo's 2nd 8th gen console. It's not unprecedented in gaming history for a single company to have two consoles in the same generation. The Switch 2 will be Nintendo's 9th gen console.

                Calling the Switch 9th gen is only useful in the context of coping. It literally came out in 2017, when gen 9 consoles came out 3 years later...it was also considered the weakest of the three, behind the Xbox One and PS4....it doesn't have the timing nor the hardware to be considered 9th gen. 9th gen are consoles that came out 2020-now. Switch 2 will be Nintendo's 9th gen console, and will come out with a 128-256gb nvme ssd.

        I don't think we have console generations anymore, the difference in power and games being released makes the whole thing muddled. Switch is more like a hi-tech phone while PS5 and XSX are low powered PCs.

      This console generation has only 2 more years to go.

      I still don't even recognize this as the current gen, I call it "next gen". Frankly it feels out of spite when a game doesn't release for the ps4 / Xbox one, because the hardware is still perfectly fine if they dial back the graphics a little.

      The one fricking thing PS5 is doing to ruin backwards ports is the goddamn SSD, so now I see a lot of devs putting all the uncompiled trash into the game loading at all times
      >Well the ps5 can handle everything active so no need to code well
      Had they simply gone back to previous optimal methods, those ps5 games would perfectly run on the ps4, merely loading assets when they're necessary.

      But yeah I look at Resident Evil 4 Remake or Elden Ring on the ps4 and wonder
      >Why did we need a new generation so early?
      Right now it could still be the ps4 generation and, once it truly runs out, release a ps5 in 2026 or something with actual jaw-dropping improvements

          My point is, how does that reflect on game quality. I listed examples, I think re4r, Elden Ring, re2r, devil may cry 5, etc.. Are amazing in all aspects.
          Like, I'm fine if the games look graphically like that, and it certainly doesn't affect gameplay. New gen then is just the previous one just looking a little better and smoother, like a pro version of the ps4 pro

            because they will struggle with certain tasks, for example, RE Engine titles so far, such as your given examples of RE4R and DMCV have largely static environments with extremely limited amounts of physics props, whereas Dragon's Dogma 2 which is the first RE Engine title that is only releasing on current gen and PC has gone all in on heavy physics simulation with lots of interactive props etc.

            No dynamic environments, shit lighting, bad physics.
            Consumers demanding better performance was a doubled edged knife, 8th Gen consoles were supposed to be 720 60 FPS machines before people complained.

            It's why 7th Gen games that ran like absolute ass still had mor consistent visuals and more dynamic environments.

            Meanwhile 8th Gen consoles couldn't do that stable performance and decent visuals without making everything static and downgrading plenty of details visually.

            It's why only RE4 Remake had destructable environments while in RE7 you couldn't even break bottles laying around.

                This will not happen if you just never upgrade, like how people are staying on Windows 7 until they are being forced to migrate. So you could stay on Windows 10 or 11 until Steam or whoever forces you to upgrade, and then you can just switch to linux if you really don't like the new supported Windows.

      I think this generation is more of an exploratory generation and Microsoft is winning by a huge margin.
      Sony’s VR2 has flopped again and their sales are propped by remakes and PC ports.
      At the same time Microsoft managed to make Game Pass profitable, took xCloud out of beta and purchased some big IPs.

            Cloud gaming is still a near impossible sell right now, Kojima's game has to be god tier and sell people on the format existing when it just failed super hard on the Switch a couple years ago. Preferably it needs to showcase actual gameplay and not watching an interactive movie, but if the servers get stressed during the launch and the game doesn't perform perfectly, it'd be a huge set back to the entirety of cloud gaming.

        Why can't they simply go back to good 2d games? Or pre-rendered backgrounds?
        Whatever they were doing 20 years ago was perfect.
        I'll happily take Final Fantasy games done in the style of 7, 8 and 10 with improved graphics but nothing too realistic. We do have an example of this, the Resident Evil 1 Remaster for ps4, it's classic gameplay with a locked camera and I assume it took a fraction of the resources of 7/village/the other remakes to make, but it's amazing. I'd take two yearly resident evil games like that one.

        And again, go back to 2d games, DB Fighterz looks better than most videogames and it's 7 gb in size.

      Why is this narrative still being pushed so hard as if the other two aren't doing even worse in this regard? Sony just had the Discovery fiasco like a week ago and Nintendo won't let you play their old games unless you have a subscription. Gamepass existing does not remove your ability to purchase games outright and you have just as much "ownership" there as any other platform.

            MS was the first one to implement a hardware ban against second hand games you dolt. It was so wildly unpopular it almost destroyed their gaming brand permanently and they had to instantly reverse it. Gamepass was already phase 2 of operation “you will own nothing” and probably got accelerated by the aforementioned events.

              Gamepass is just a games rental service, Blockbuster is not an elaborate EGS plan to make sure you never owned games, they just provide a service to let you rent games and that's all.
              MS are the only ones that offer a viable alternative towards the "you will own nothing" blackrock future.

                By letting you own nothing and only allowing you to play what you buy for you? I'm not seeing it, GP is just communism and that never works.

                Yes.
                Gaming is split towards three ways of playing them right now.

                Buy to play
                Free to play
                Rent to play

                Buy to play is losing ground right now to Free to play the most. More and more games are being restricted and locked away, unable for anyone to own them and for everything on it to disappear forever when the service ends. It is safe to say that F2P games will be the future of video games as game ownership is already seeing massive declines as people are cheap and would rather not spend anything to get into a game. This leads to a massive increase in microtransactions too just to make money.

                Xbox gamepass is only alternative to this two that offers an inbetween the two by making Buy to play games more accessible and allowing you to actually own the games if you choose to buy them. I'd rather gamepass be more successful than for video games to slowly step foot by foot more into the depths of eternal F2P games where ownership is literally impossible. We're already a decade deep into that sad future.

                Xbox is not an alternative because it's not like Blockbuster and you choose what to rent. Microsoft chooses for you. They pay to subsidize everyone's copy of the game and then your options consist of what they bought for you. It's legitimately communism, except the state is a corporation. It's a terrible system because it HEAVILY incentivizes games like Starfield as well that was super padded and waste players time on purpose because the current GP games get an upfront check when they're put on it and then they get extra money based on how much time players spend on the game as well.

                GP is objectively bad for gaming in every regard. It actually incentivizes live services that can retain players longer, it rewards bad game design(no ground vehicles in Starfield, ample loading screens), and most of all you can only play games that Microsoft deems you can play on it. That last one is the biggest flaw and the worst aspect for gamers. You should not be allowing corporations to tell you what games you're allowed to play.

          modern racing games arent really that great for playing with friends in my experience unless maybe its in VR with a full sim rig. if anything id suggest carx drift if its on sale as a casual hoon simulator, its fun with a controller because it has an option to automate drifting to be a lot more manageable which you use if you're not using a real wheel and its pretty fun for a cheap arcade-drifting experience, easy to do tandem drifts side by side once you get the hang of it and get cars you're comfortable with. the progression is moronic, you just cheese it in singleplayer repetitively, multiplayer is just for fricking around with what you earned from singleplayer, but its cool, get it on sale

We have hardware companies trying to dump more console versions no one is buying, we have software companies trying to monetize broken software, we have non gaming software companies like microsoft that can't handle their own projects that all this stuff runs on, we have marketing and outsider investor groups that want to siphon money from the other parties, and thats not including outside groups that work on this "AI" that want to take money from the other groups, oh and they want to "stream" all this or make it as digital possible while we have literal ISP wars with software companies like with twitch and korea.

    It may seem stupid, but this is the only path forward for Microsoft at this point. PS5 Pro is coming next year, so Microsoft can skip a pro iteration, and beat Sony to next gen by a year.

          Nintendo found a way to make their games feel unique, when I'm playing a 3ds/ds game it really feels made for the console, I get a sense of "owning this is worth it, how fun to do stuff in the top or bottom screens".
          I wish they'll eventually do a XDS or something, same idea of duals screens but stronger graphics, it actually made the devs try and deliver games that wouldn't exist on other consoles.

    Its a weird gen overall where the last gen consoles are still on full development support despite being over 10 years old

      It's funny because something very similar happened in the 7th gen. The PS360 stayed around for as long as they did because of the 2008 market crash....they knew that no one was hurting financially and that consumers weren['t in a position to be spending money on a game console, so we kept the PS360 for years longer than what wee should've.

      This is a good thing. Exclusives don't benefit anyone but the console manufacturers. Now they have to win out with hardware and having a more pleasant ecosystem, which I think is why Xbox is pulling ahead with Game Pass.

      Yeah I know it. NGB and NGII I know got really good treatment, i.e. the staircase fight in NGII is apparently 60 FPS the whole time now. I also miss the first RDR/Undead Nightmare and would love to play the again.

      Console war shit is dumb, but console manufacturers used to give you a reason to buy their bricks.
      Only one even trying, badly, mind you is Nintendo.

      Sony and Microsoft bricks are just bricks for morons to play Fortnite, FIFA and COD now, it's fricking sad.

      Yeah, see above. It's good that exclusives are going away, and that MS is including PC as part of the Xbox ecosystem, but the consoles will always play a part by being plug and play dedicated gaming systems. They just compete more in other ways than via exclusives now.

        Doubt it, they're barely plug and play nowadays, they're becoming more and more like computers, a big reason why home consoles peaked at an all time during 7th Gen was because Mobile gaming wasn't as big.
        Casuals are all flooding to mobile and have no need for a brick to play games anymore.
        Consoles are mostly 30/40 year old shit, zoomers either play on PC or mobile.
        >They just compete more in other ways than via exclusives now.
        That's for the worse, AAA multiplats fricking suck and made me go PC only back in 7th Gen.

        My cousin and a couple of friends all of which are Xbox fanatics play some older games sometimes with it, but I don't see the point.

        Yeah I can still grab my 3DS and have fun, I love the duals screen. Well, that was a DS thing, but anyway.
        Nintendo found a way to make their games feel unique, when I'm playing a 3ds/ds game it really feels made for the console, I get a sense of "owning this is worth it, how fun to do stuff in the top or bottom screens".
        I wish they'll eventually do a XDS or something, same idea of duals screens but stronger graphics, it actually made the devs try and deliver games that wouldn't exist on other consoles.

        Playstation 6 should have a gimmick to justify its existence, minimal graphic improvements aren't cutting it anymore

        I actually hate gimmicks, I just want actual unique hardware, like handle triggers for more buttons to handle more ingame interactions and actual decent software, which gets rarer and rarer by the bigwigs these days.
        I did jailbreak my DSi recently and I'm having fun with it.

      people stopped caring about exclusives in the 360/PS3 era people just want something that plays all the new games with streaming apps. Nintendo is a weird exception in that their handhelds are cheap enough that you will buy it just to get a mario experience or pokemon for that gen. merging their console division into their handheld was the godsend and saved the company.

        No one uses streaming apps on their consoles anymore, it's all through their standard smart TV's now.

    Nobody is going to buy consoles after this gen, it's gonna make headlines when the 10th gen consoles release and retailers can't get rid of them.

      They're still going to sell, but they're selling less and less.
      The peak was 7th Gen, they're never going to make that much money ever again, that space isn't growing at all which is why they desperate for GAAS multiplayer only garbage filled with microtransactions to pad that out.

      Unless something really big happens, home consoles won't be a thing in 2050.

    Why does Microsoft even try anymore, no I mean that seriously why? No one likes them for anything but their controllers. No one likes Microsoft, their bullshit, their data collection, their monetary brute forcing, their marketing, their damage control through marketing agencies and shills. NO ONE LIKES you microsoft, your time was during the 360 and original Xbox and you blew that by becoming anti consumer, why are they still trying? I don't fricking get it. They've literally lost BILLIONS through the Xbox brand.

          Xbox was never consumer friendly, they were selling mappacks for 15 a pop during the OG Xbox days.

          Shit you would get for free on PC, all Microsoft did was ruin the hobby with nickel and diming the frick out of it and convincing morons like you that it was totally ok to be ripped off.

          They literally forced Valve to sell their L4D map updates while they were free on Steam and PSN.

              No wonder it got as much marketing as it did.

              Imagine if Microsoft had succeeded in buying Nintendo, like they originally tried.

              Pretty sure shit like that goes against Japanese law.
              They have pretty strict dometic market protection lawa which is why you hardly see any of them bought out by Americans or Chinks with few exceptions.

              It would be pretty shit if it happened, yeah.
              They're the Disney of vidya.

      They focused on multiplat AAA titles because that's what gave them money and completely neglected their own titles while barely giving any diversity to their catalogs, rather leaving that for indie devs.
      Now AAA multiplats are struggling, their exclusive lineup is weak and indies would rather release on PC, Switch or mobile.
      Been happening since mid 7th Gen, and warned them for years.

      You'll see more layoffs every year

    Phil Spencer went on the record to admit that Xbox lost the console war, and besides, Playstation is way more popular. I recently started working at a retail store and we're selling PS5's like crazy, but almost nobody is buying Xbox consoles. Only hardcore Xbox fanboys who are still dedicated to the brand are buying them.

    The only real competition Sony/Playstation has is Nintendo, and even Nintendo is way ahead of Sony.

    am I just out of touch or did something change? each generation usually has a set of era defining games, massive releases that capture the worlds attention. i mean the 360/ wii/ ps3 era had halo 3, mario galaxy and uncharted. now this shit goes by without me even knowing it happened. i cannot really distinguish each era from the last

    It's funny that we're already speculating about mid-gen upgrades and when the next gen is going to launch when devs are only just now starting to drop support for the previous gen. Even then, those games aren't coming until like late 2024 or sometime in 2025.

    • 5 months ago
      Anonymous

      this gen on launch legitimately had no games and nobody wanted to/could buy a PS5, they've been supporting the last gen up until more recently explicitly because there's been no guarantee of games actually selling when being next-gen exclusive and they were right because compared to their inflated budgets a lot of them literally aren't

    The PS2 era is dead and not coming back. We're not going to get several hundred exclusives for any one platform anymore because that requires a shitton of first party releases on top of third parties committed to one specific platform, and because console/{C architecture is much much closer to each other now than in the past it's a much safer bet to release on as many platforms as possible to reach a wider audience. Even Sony realizes they can get more money by just making their console games timed and releasing on PC later. I think the nature of dedicated game hardware is going to change drastically in the near future due to this. If Elon's starlink shit ever gets super widespread you'll probably see vidya become more like current streaming services where you can get a playstation or xbox app and just pay a subscription to play whatever selection of games they have. Nintendo would probably just go the Apple route in this case and continue making their own shit anyway.

      I legit don't know why the Xbox even exists curently, feels like a relic of the past that people still buy into because it used to exist a legit rivalry.

      Today the absolute only thing Xbox offers is a better gamepass to play the same games also released on a ps4. Your two machines will be playing the same thing.
      But yeah Halo and Gears of War are long dead, it sits wrong with me that Microsoft keeps scamming people into buying new Xbox consoles for 3 generations offering nothing.
