My oh my, how exciting!

A generation of nothing

have no fears sony will be releasing games for steam for years

ps5 barely began tho

>>712533135 (OP)
It's gonna be PS6 and their new handheld to try to beat Nintendo. They're not gonna succeed though. Only win they've had this gen is Microsoft doing dumb decisions the whole time

>>712533135 (OP)
Calling it now. The hardware will have forced AI slop features.

Will it have negative games by that point?

>>712533642
Well, they just confirmed that they will continue bringing their games to PC

i'll stick with my ps5 pro until the ps7 pro

>>712533135 (OP)
god damn this whole console generation has been lame. Why even buy a console lmao.

>>712533825
PS5 somehow became a brand status symbol to own like Apple products thanks to the artificial scarcity.

If it's not AI ready then just give up at this point

PS6 + FF7R part 3 still running on UE4.

the fuck, have I wasted the last 5 years shitposting here? bros I am feeling a bit horrified at this thought.

The PS5 only had Astro bot.

Imagine The Last of Us for PS6, CAN'T WAIT, LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I know people say this shit with every console but I am very confident the PS6 is going to fail.
It wont have any exclusives and there's nothing left to improve that most consumers would care about.

The PS3 introduced HD gaming, the PS4 full HD and higher framerates, the PS5 4K.
There's no reason to go above 4k. Most people do not care about 120fps compared to 60. Raytracing is a meme.

No one is going to spend 700 dollars for a PS6, they'll just keep playing on their PS5.

>>712533135 (OP)
>We are commited to exploring a new and enhanced way for players to engage with our ads and dlc
Oh wow, thanks sony

Jim Ryan fucked them up badly. I hope once Marathon flops, they'll fire him and that cocksucker Hulst. And dismantly SOA as it caused nothing but issues. Californians can't even be fucking civilized.

Not for long...

>>712534604

It will have Fifa, CoD and Fornite, that alone will carry consoles

>>712533135 (OP)
Didn't ps5 just release?!

So cloud gaming then, you will own nothing.

this completely new technology to make people buy ps6? Bloodborne remastered

>>712534571
The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered Remake finna b cracked on the zaza no cap on a stack fr fr ahh

When did you realize that PS5 was going to be a dud?

For me it was when they had GTA V as the first announcement in their PS5 reveal showcase.

>>712534907
Not even that. Just Bloodborne backwards compatibility with no upgrade patch so you can continue to play it at 20fps.

>2025
>still releasing games on ps4
how are they moving on to ps6 when ps5 barely has shit on its own?

>>712534651
>Fifa
Who is developing this now? I thought they split off from EA
>CoD
Probably will receive more love on xbox and pc but that's up to Microsoft. I know they promised to do nothing to make it worse on PS but they don't need to make it public.

>>712534728
Ps5 got fucked by its supply issues in my opinion. It missed the first 2 years of its life and devs just kept releasing games on ps4 anyway

>>712533135 (OP)
I don't see a reason to let go of my PS4/switch. What a joke of a generation.

>>712534645
Probably not the best idea, considering Steam users by and large don't play platformers. Its numbers would be closer to Sack Boy's than Stellar Blade's.

>>712534651
*releases on PS5 as well

how the fuck is the PS5 already five years old
I unironically can't name a single exclusive release for it that wasn't in the launch window like that wannabe twisted metal or the demons souls remake

>>712534651
>It will have Fifa, CoD and Fornite, that alone will carry consoles
Do does the PS5 retard
The point is, why buy a PS6 to play Fifa when the PS5 already plays it in 4k 60? What meaningful improvement can they make to fifa to justify spending 700 dollars on a better console? We have hit the point of diminishing returns.

>>712533135 (OP)
What can they really offer besides marginal upgrades to performance?

>>712533135 (OP)
I can't imagine the levels of buyers remorse people have for the PS5, especially the ones who own a gaming pc and never expected the entire anemic library to be ported to pc.

>>712533135 (OP)
Almost their entire state of play last week was lower fidelity AA or indie style games. what would they even put in a ps6 to try and sell it?

>>712535297
Bloodborne Remake
Bloodborne 2

>>712534626
Catch up slowpoke, Jim Ryan ran away like a year ago. Only Herman remains and he's a few months from being fired.

>>712533135 (OP)
there is literally no reason to buy a PS5 now

24K raytracing 1000 fps minecraft and concord 3 with all trans cast?
WOOOO let's go wokie people, we eatin good tonight!

>>712534604
They just need to release it at a reasonable price and that's it. People will eventually buy the new console because the old one is too outdated.
Five years after the release of the PS5, 50% of PSN users were still on the PS4, meaning that people no longer see consoles as something you need to buy immediately, but as shitty closed PCs, and they will only replace them when the old console starts showing signs that it is no longer capable of running the most interesting games.
In fact, this even affects the Switch. The Switch 2 was a sales success because the Switch 1 user base was extremely tired of such outdated hardware, which Nintendo held onto for eight fucking years. The new device was released with a single big exclusive game, yet it sold extremely well just because a large portion of players were desperate to upgrade, even if it was to play the same games they were playing before.

In other words: consoles today just need to provide access to as many games as possible (even old ones), even without major new AAA exclusives, and they will sell, as long as the price isn't obscene.

>>712535153
>>712535229
Because playing on PS5 is not cool or trendy when the PS6 is out, you both seem completely oblivious to how NPCs work

>>712535254
>What can they really offer besides marginal upgrades to performance?
It's gonna be 120fps and raytracing. Neither of which anyone gives a shit about.

PS6 is gonna crash hard. Nintendo will retain their audience, probably not grow or really shrink but Sony is gonna tank with their audience moving on to low to mid end PCs, due to diminishing returns. The entire advantage of a playstation is getting the cheaper subsidized hardware, but with diminishing returns, in 3-4 years you'll be able to buy a 500-700 dollar PC and play at 4k 60 anyway. And then you don't have to deal with Sony's bullshit like the 80 dollar online subscription.

>>712535528
>They just need to release it at a reasonable price and that's it
Do you think they can? PS5 is likely to go up in price soon, and it's already 500. That's a 5 year old console. PS6 is 700 minimum. And that's probably selling at a 200 dollar loss which means they're gonna shank you with hidden costs like the online fees.

>>712535543
next you are going to compare playstation to iphone and people would flock to the new one regardless of any improvement

>>712535727
>next you are going to compare playstation to iphone
That already happened with the PS5, a console with no game, extremely expensive and that doesn't offer anything new, but we made memes about selling your ass to buy one

>>712533135 (OP)
>nintendo launches the first 10th gen console
>playstation immediately abandons the ps5 to launch their own 10th gen console
Really?

>>712535934
If we want to be fair PS5 moved the average framerate from 30 to 60 and pushed into 4k resolution. Those are meaningful upgrades, maybe not worth 500 dollars but they do matter. But the PS6 has nothing like that. No one wants 8k, only the most elitest PC gamers care about 120fps, most are completely fine with 60.

>>712535934
playstation is not like iphone cause women look down at chumps who show off their gaming machine. That leaves kids and I don't think parents would be receptive to get them a new one if games still come out for previous one.
playstation 5 success was due to lockdown

>>712536085
It wouldn't surprise me if they're panicking about these initial switch 2 sales numbers. If we see a lot of third party games start getting ported to switch 2, something the switch 1 did not have, PS5 sales could start taking a real hit. Imagine if the switch 2 starts getting all the sports games, GTA, etc. and it's running them in solid quality.

>>712533135 (OP)
So uh what about the games?

>>712535934
you are arguing with brainlets here that have an irrational hateboner for anything Sony. Common sense is a foreign concept to these retards.

>>712536219
120fps is lovely, even Nintendo are doing it now so the PS6 will definitely target that.

>>712533135 (OP)
I will not buy it. Consoles are never worth it.

>>712533478
Indeed

Another 3rd-party plastic box with TLoU 8K Remastered Remade Hyper' Turbo Omega Collection? Maybe throw in a remake of Concord?

Is this the swan song of consoles?

>>712537450
GT7 was a PS4 game. And I know this board hates cape hero slop but both Spider-Man games were the biggest exclusives/best sellers on both consoles

>>712538903
>were
and now on PC :^)

>>712538823
Yes, diminishing returns in technological advancements, resulting in mid-gen upgrades, done them in.

>>712537450
holy kek this gen managed to be worse than the ps4. Did they just lose all their talented people?

My last console was ps3. Pretty damn good compared how shit consoles are today

The combined arrogance of a die-hard Japanese brand cult and out of touch European executives who still haven't moved on from the 1990s certainly helped.

Developers don't want exclusivity anymore and they don't want better graphics.

>>712539530
$50 more than a Steam Deck LCD while being more powerful. All other comparable handhelds are more expensive. If you don't think that's reasonable you're an actual poorfag.

>>712533135 (OP)
>That last line
It's going to be an hybrid, right? I mean they have to now.

>>712539065
the number of games sony is releasing is the same, they are just porting them to pc, so no, they didn't lose anybody

>>712535727
That is a perfect comparison, as Sony is the Apple of consoles.
Xbox is like Android, in the way that it does all the same things for a fraction of the price but is derided by Sony cultitsts because reasons.

>>712534651
>Fifa
Fifa 25 is also on PS4

cool I can't wait for another console that has no exclusive games!


I won't get burned again, fuck you

>>712533135 (OP)
Saying PS6 is easy.
Coming with a way to make it significantly more powerful and under 1200$ is the hard part.
We're under jensen's law now, if you want more transistors, you pay more.
I bet on a fucking massive die made out of 4 or 6 interconnected ICs manufactured in the 7nm process, and running at 2Ghz CPU/1.6Ghz GPU to take advantage of that sweet exponential curve of heat dissipation/clock.

>>712533135 (OP)
These two people have managed to ruin the enitre reputation of the PlayStation brand.

The management decisions of these two individuals will be studied in management engineering courses as what to NOT do.
Academic books will be written about them and their incompetence

>>712534604
People were CLAMORING to buy a PS5 during 2020. There were so many shill memes about hot gfs buying it for their bf, people selling their soul for one, people begging God just to get one, fanart and cosplay of the fucking console, etc. A PS4 was $200 and the PS5 was 2.5 more expensive and people were still tripping over themselves just to even have it, not even play games on it. PS6 will look like a "steal" at $700 when they compare it to a PS5 Pro or even a regular PS5. You really doubt how easy it is for normalfags to just buy things just because. All Sony needs is to have good marketing for it for it to catch like wildfire.

>>712545086
That was because ps4 actually had games normies liked and the ssd made everyone think we’d get super fast loading times etc. even they think ps5 is dry

>>712533478
>...exploring new and enhanced ways for players to engage with our content and services

-Day one PS6/PC moving forward for 1st party games. PS6 game exclusivity is a thing of the past.
-PS6 console might launch alongside a PlayStation handheld
-PlayStation will expand its cloud gaming reach to try to compete with Xbox in that market
-They will start putting PlayStation 1st party games on Xbox and Nintendo. It will be a few years in, but it's going to happen.

I also think they are going to make the optical drive completely optional with the reason being that they don't want to restrict developers by forcing them to be constrained to the limits of disc space to create their vast worlds and experiences. But, if developers decide they want to make physical versions of their games (whether it be for deluxe editions or whatever), players will have the option to purchase a standalone PS6 optical disc reader that will also work as their way to play Blu-rays and DVDs.

Nintendo launched an 8th gen console in performance though

>>712541291
The handheld performance is not better than a 3 year old steam deck, which you can also stream from your pc to, it's roughly the same and the docked performance is worse than any console out there so its like the worst of everything ergo bad value. Stop trying to argue merit based on hardware and just go back to saying you like tendie games.

Playstation trophies on pc soon

Console generations last about 7 years and the PS5 is nearly 5 years old.
