we need to bring back bespoke console hardware

Is this an admission that ps4 was peak game and that were coming to the end of the gamedollar paradigm?

>>715941121
it's a concession that consumers are braindead niggers and consolidating everything into cheap PCs fucked the industry beyond salvaging

>>715941257
you say "game" (singular) because it only had one

No, it's saying that once consoles became x86 boxes there was no weird console hardware features making the PC port have weird issues.

>>715940790 (OP)
internet connection ruined consoles
that's it

>>715940790 (OP)
They have no exclusives and have +- the same hardware
Whats the point

>console gen where game dev becomes easier than it ever has
>games proceed to get worse/"more expensive to produce" somehow despite easier development
I'm inclined to agree, given the number of current-gen games on UE5 that look and run worse than some of PS4's best.

>>715942514
When deciding between nvidia and amd on a gpu do you just cry in a corner and buy nothing because neither has exclusive games forcing you to pick one?

Can the truck on the left haul fishing boats or RVs? Americans care more about the towing capacity than the truck bed.

>>715942903
Then why have a truck at all? Any car can tow

>>715942903
people buy big trucks for the tax write offs

>>715941702
This more than anything else is what I think destroyed the industry.
>Games could be split and sold as dlc
>Games no longer had to be optimized or even finished because they can just patch it
>Can't own anything because everyone would go digitial to save on costs

Do you not remember the xbone scandal? PS4 literally saved gaming you braindead moron.

>>715940790 (OP)
Ironic considering how Sony was trying to be different just a generation prior and introduce technology, albeit hard to develop for, that might have been ahead of it's time.

>>715942903
nobody tows anything with their pickup dude.

>>715943323
PS4 was the lesser evil at best. The 360 ruined consoles. The generation after was just the nail in the coffin. Current gen is the eulogy.

>>715943104
The what?!

>>715941702
>>715942903
The actual reason has to do with gas mileage regulations. It had an unintended affect of making bigger trucks more profitable, so they stopped making small trucks. Then they used big = good marketing and now trucks will always be fucked in the US because how do you teach the goyims any better after you do that.

>>715941702
small trucks are worse for roads
same as bicycles are actually worse for roads than trucks

Good job

>>715943323
It's adorable you believe that.

>>715944596
enlighten us then

>>715941702
>erm big trucks are evil and owned by evil retards cause government regulations don't allow for tiny 0-crumple zone deathtrap trucks and they're not using it for big truck reasons anyway
nigger if they wanted a minivan they'd buy a minivan, they're cheaper
people buy big ass pickups and hummers cause they want to and its comfortable, get fucked

>>715948491
you can make a truck that has the same bed size and crumple zones without compensating for your tiny cock faggot

>>715941702
These two cars have completely different use cases and the F150 doesn't fold like a paper bag on impact.

>>715948574
Of course! Car manufacturers are leaving this crown lying in the gutter because... some nebulous government regulation I overheard in a thread somewhere. Don't ask which one or exactly how, but I'm certain it's there. No one has ever wanted to be comfortable in a car ever or like large car cabs, that's just a trick by jews or something

>>715941702
KEak this pissed off the dicklets with pavement princesses

No games. Unironically, what's the point of making a console game anymore when the most-bought console barely moves software?

Consoles are exactly where they should be now; a cheap box for casuals to play most current games. Exclusives are totally pointless for the consumer; enthusiasts don't want to buy a machine weaker than their own for one game, and casuals don't care about niche shit because they have all the casual, popular games than they could ever want.
It's funny that console warriors fixated on exclusives only to be BTFO by a lack of them, but it's puzzling that they're continuing to fight that war they lost 10 years ago.

>>715953859
What else is there though?
Anyone who's a "hardcore gamer" playing on consoles have literally nothing but exclusives as an argument. The fact that the concept of "console exclusives" barely existing anymore beyond Nintendo just doesn't seem to dent their willingness to die on the hill.

>>715944283
>affect

>>715953962
No. Affordability and quality. The ps5 has been better value than an equivalent pc since release day and will likely stay that way into the ps6 era with how little nvidia is doing in the gpu space. Also I don't have to worry about a game just randomly not accepting my controller on console.

>>715953574
You're literally projecting yours on the road.

>>715954447
>The ps5 has been better value than an equivalent pc
The PS5 could cost 10 bucks but with their insanely limited game library it still wouldn't be worth it compared to the tens of thousands of games on PC.
You people always argue value but it never makes any sense because value is determined by "amount of games you want to play on the system you're buying". If the ratio isn't good it doesn't matter if the console is practically free because it has to compete with a machine that has more games than you can boot up in a lifetime.

>>715940790 (OP)
>be a console
>cost 500 bucks
>get 10 years of support
it's a bang for you're buck

>>715940790 (OP)
The PS4 architecture was just an up-to-date Xbox HUEG using AMD hardware instead of Intel and NVidia.

>>715954531
It makes perfect sense. Old shit can be played on an office pc found on the side of the road on garbage day new shit that requires actual power is what people care about which is where the ps5 dominates.

>>715954727
>Old shit can be played on an office pc
>pc
That's the keyword here. "pc". You can't do it on your PS5 no matter how much you pay for it.
>power is what people care about
Most people who consider themselves "gamers" barely play modern games. Power is meaningless and in terms of bang for your buck you're probably going to get more raw entertainment out of that PC you find on the side of the road than your PS5.

>>715954792
>most people

lol lmao. Okay you're delusional and have no idea what you're talking about.

Stay on the cope as your industry dies. I'll be playing Sim City 3000.
