Thread 715908065

The PS5 came out in 2020. We're two years away from the PS6. Absolutely nothing has pushed this thing to its limits yet which is ridiculous considering just how deep we are into the generation. I've never seen a cross-gen period last as long as this.

Ive seen better looking ps4 games

>>715908157
You're joking right? At least say Alan Wake 2 or Hellblade 2.

>>715908065 (OP)
Cant think of anything worth buying on it. I think Sony should start allowing porn games

>>715908065 (OP)
I pity whoever wasted their money on this instead of getting a gaming PC.

PS4 games are still being released regularly

I've played quite a few games on this console and it's been nothing but solid. Some games definitely lack the polish of PC, but games load almost instantly, very few crashes, and overall the experience is exceptional. It's one of the ugliest consoles ever but the UX has been pretty great. PS4 is still better, but only just barely. PS5 just straight up lacks games. Same as always.....

Most games can't even run at 8k like they advertised

It's not just the PS5 as a console. This generation was largely just wasted years in general. Half the games went into pre-production for 4 years before being cancelled and instead of better graphics we get RTX wasting resources and Indian optimization.

There’s nothin like hitting the on button and kicking it back on the couch with a controller in hand after a long day at work and getting into your game in less than 30 seconds. Yea you can technically set that up with a pc but who wants to do that? Consoles are cheaper comfier and way easier to use for casual chill gaming. The ps5 lacks exclusives but it makes ps4 games way better experiences with fast loadtimes and frames

Because the gen only actually started in 2023 but both Microsoft and Sony refuse to acknowledge that. No one could buy the things during Covid at all yet they treat the systems like you could just order them online at a moment's notice. They also have barely any first-party games.

>>715909481
I just finished this and nothing about it convinced me it HAD to be on PS5. They could get it working on PS4 with a bit of elbow grease just like the first game.

no. it was the reign of the indies. and i prefer those. its kinda funny using an overpowered machine to play stuff like cmfy farming and simulator games.

The era of giga kikery isnt over yet im the slightest. Expect the next 3 gens to do be dog shit

seeing spider-man and death stranding at 60fps is already like, this is how good video games can look. we don't need better hardware.
i don't know how sony will justify the PS6. PS5 pro was already a mistake. they should just pump the brakes and let this be an extra long gen like the 7th gen.

>>715908065 (OP)
Everything pushes the PS5 to its limits. That's why they have to drop to 864p15.

>>715909772
>we don't need better hardware.
fuck off

>Everything pushes the PS5 to its limits. That's why they have to drop to 864p15.
Exactly, it's just that literally none of the games are even remotely interesting or innovative.

>>715908065 (OP)
Because home consoles are dying, it's best to jump ship now before the $1000+ consoles hit the market in 2027 and 2028. Get a Switch 2, get a Steam Deck 2 if you're a real gamer; if not, get fucked.

>>715908065 (OP)
I've had one since 2021 and I barely use it. But, recently I've been playing Visions of Mana which is real casual slop good for me. Otherwise I played Streets of Rage 4 with my son and Mine Craft Adventures or whatever.

Yes, it's a food analogy. I live in a country where I can afford food.

Better get used to it, when ps6 launches a ps5 portable is being released too

every game will need to be able to run on that thing

>>715908669
I constantly see retards saying consoles are more cost-efficient than gaming PCs nowadays. Worst part is they're often high-end PC gamers themselves.

>>715909772
PS5 is still going to be supported in 2030+ just like how the PS4 is still being supported in 2025, 12 years later.

>>715909887
>>715910038
if you have the PS5's specs at your disposal and you can't make a game that runs well, the problem is you, not the specs.
PS5 was a meaningful upgrade over PS4 but hardware has stagnated since then. GPU makers wouldn't be desperately pushing upscaling and framerate interpolation if they were making real strides in rendering performance.

>>715909772
ps5 still has a weak cpu, if ps6 actually has a proper cpu and a nice gpu upgrade we will be at a tech level that does not need to increase anymore

>>715910185
It will always look like shit, because the hardware is an underpowered AMD APU and no memory.

>>715908065 (OP)
I skipped the PS4 because real life was too busy to game and picked up a PS5 a couple of years ago. Almost all my games are PS4 games. PS5 pickings are incredibly slim.

jim ryan killed the entire ps5 software pipeline and it won't be fixed untill ps6 actually releases

Gimmick tracing have been one of the biggest setbacks for games ever. It as has been 7 years, and games are just barely starting to almost be back to what they where before it was introduced.

>>715910130
>implying Sony can support 2 platforms at once
lmfao they killed the Vita for a reason

>>715908065 (OP)
No because I'm not a retard who bought a piss5

>>715910525
you don't get it, it won't get exclusive games, it will be a literal portable ps5 that runs (digitally) ps4 and ps5 games but not ps6 versions

>>715908065 (OP)
At least Xbox and Playstation games are on PC now so there's no need to buy them

>>715908065 (OP)
tons of games have pushed this shitbox's limits
it can't hold a stable 60 in basically anything modern

Death stranding 2 showed we absolutely can get amazing graphics this gen, we just need to get the fuck away from ue5

>>715910630
it easily holds 60 in any game that isn't cpu intensive, thats the real weak spot of the ps5 hardware wise.

Also the reason gta 6 will run like shit

>>715910569
/v/:
>haha imagine buying a PS5 it has no games LOL!!!
also /v/ when EDF, death stranding and final fantasy were timed exclusives:
>how dare my favorite japanese video games be timed exclusives. i am beside myself with grief. i am pissing and shitting my pants each waking moment i cannot play my favorite japanese video games on my computer.
/v/ after the timed exclusivity runs out again:
>why did anyone ever buy a PS5 LOL!!!
repeat forever

>>715910038
to be fair, burger is a fucking burger. Those bars just put a 2x price and give it some gimmick name. Only thing worth paying more is the environment youre in. But its the same burger

>>715908714
Who is to blame for this?

>>715909238
>who wants to do that
People who are smart enough to buy an HDMI cable, or install Parsec/Steam Remote Play.

>>715911119
>never had a Good Burger
Sorry for your loss.

>>715910727
I just dont want everything to look the same. Id rather play a bug ridden cyberpunk with their own red-engine, than the soulless ue5. kinda ironic that they sell out to megacorp mentality btw

>>715911159
the chinese

they made covid, ruining the ps5 launch and they buy an shittillion amount of pc games on steam causing devs to chase that userbase instead of console gamers

>>715908714
The software side of the generation is a dismal failure (specifically generation-exclusive games). Devs had to buoy the PS4 and Xbone for a few extra years thanks to how hands-off Sony were about PS5 scalping, because Jim Ryan thought that letting scalpers drive hardware numbers for almost 2 years was going to be enough to impress shareholders in the long run. I honestly hate that Playstation shot itself so badly in the foot because jesus CHRIST Nintendo needs some pressure for once this goddamn decade

>>715911407
Best conspiracy theory I've heard in years.

>>715909238
>and getting into your game in less than 30 seconds
Dude it's not the 90s anymore, consoles and their games have plenty of superfluous updates and bloat now

>>715911159
Decade old games like Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto 5 that still get them large amounts of subscribers to play online on the old consoles

Why can't you just get a console that you can take with you and play it anywhere along with a PC that you can take with you and play it anywhere. Like you know, a Switch and Steam Deck? I don't see the point of home consoles or desktop/laptop gaming PCs anymore.

This gen felt like a bland middle-gen with nothing extraordinary whatsoever. I think the real based shit will happen on the PS6.

Death Stranding 2 has the best graphics of all time

>>715912394
8th generation was the last generation, it's just shitty increments now. The Switch 2 is future proof, there is no need for a Switch 3. The Steam Deck 2 should be the last Steam Deck. We don't need any more generations.

>>715908065 (OP)
>We're two years away from the PS6
Lets hope they delay this another year or two at least. I don't think they should even entertain this idea of a new console until 2030 tbqh. Release some actual exclusives worth a fucking shit already for this console Sony.

Nah, this generations been pretty good if you actually got something with games
