devs could make good 4k 60FPS game on even the Series S but are simply too lazy to do so and have to be bailed out by console makers and their pro consoles. its sad to see

giving devs more powerful hardware is a waste of time. oh great, now it'll take 10 years to make some UE5 piece of poo poo. meanwhile the best game of the last few years runs on a mobile chip from 2015

I guess I'd rather new hardware come out on the faster side if it means fewer games come out completely hamstrung by the console itself (looking at you switch, but honestly I could sense it even in the ff7 remake 2 demo). But I'm probably less price sensitive than many gamers

New hardware is extremely unlikely to hit before 2027/28. New hardware coming doesn't mean much because new hardware is always coming

Wow is it really that bad? FF7R felt painfully "end of generation" with the long loading screens and crevice squeezing/crouch walking/slowing to a crawl to give the game time to load, I thought that poo poo was supposed to be fixed with the amazing PS5 SSD.

Supposedly they are patching in performance improvements for FF7R2 next week. But I just don't have a lot of patience for performance modes that can scale the game down to like sub 720p

Not really, they rolled in the Xbox Gold Only members into the Gamepass total now. So instead of being 25+11 its just one number.

How does Microsoft compare in this same period? And why do they ignore third party games, how many third party games on PS5 compared to Dreamcast in this period?

As with any success in this stupid, cursed industry, I think it's a more case of "is this growth enough to satisfy the loving shareholders?"

Lol, I know it seems like that. I'm actually curious, to be honest. I loved the Dreamcast but I accepted it had no support whatsoever, so I'm real curious about it.

3rd party would probably be a nonsense metric because there's been more "Press X 30 times to unlock a Platinum trophy" titles then the size of the Dreamcast's library.

Okay watching the Xbox thing now and Phil talks about the non-GaaS games (so Hi-Fi Rush & Pentiment) being brought to other platforms possibly funding sequels which is rad and I hope we get a Hi-Fi Rush 2. I haven't played Pentiment but apparently it owns so I hope they get lots of money to roll around in and make more cool games too

Taking a week to address the rumors was probably a mistake. So many people took the rumors to heart and let it sink in and now have some mental inertia about accepting the truth now that it’s out. Most of the replies I’m seeing are Phil is lying, the floodgates are opening, Xbox is done as a platform, etc
