SwimOdin Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 It’s still being supported at all levels and is more than likely holding back a lot of game developers (because of having to make less impressive last-gen versions). So…will PS4 ever die, and is that a bad thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[classic swim] Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Current-Gen consoles have to have a purpose and reason for sale before Last-Gen’s in jeopardy of anything. The motivation to get a “new console” is absent compared to when PS4 released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I'm fine with lifespans and dev times increasing, I consume much less content than 20 years ago and the previous couple consoles seemed to just kinda fly by me without feeling like I got my money's worth.

MasqueradeOverture Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Blame the Pandemic. Really, that's all it comes down to. The PS5 didn't really start hitting the common household until 3 years after its launch thanks to cost and chip supply issues. That and with game fidelity being what it is on THIS system and the "Pro" upgrade only just coming out next year, I wouldn't expect any next gen consoles before 2029. Though when the Pro version does come out next year, that's when Sony and any other streaming/app companies are gonna cut support for PS4.

RollFizzlebeef Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 I hope not. I love my PS4. I do need to get a PS5 soon, but not too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimOdin Posted October 30 Author Share Posted October 30 The graphical leaps aren’t generational anymore and it feels like we all still want it to, even developers, and it’s starting to feel unhealthy for the industry. We’re going to hit a technological wall soon with fidelity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenguinBoss Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Hoping that means companies will focus on more than the pores on a character's face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

André Toulon Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 The PS5 pro has no business costing close to a stack. And the amount of console games slowly turning into gachas with their battle passes and absurd micro transactions for basic bullshit is just a testament to the industry becoming greedy AF. I am not going to play SF6 every day just to get rewards and I'm definitely not paying 20 bucks for premium rewards like store coins, league points and the Baki emote pack. CoD is doing the same shit apparently and I hear the same is for the new Warhammer. It made sense on games like Warframe since it was free to play...of course there's premium content that you need to spend money for....but paying $70 and up for a game only to find out there's about $150 in content you need to buy just to have all the stages is diabolical. It's not even DLC to expand the game ...it's base game bullshit that you are forced to pay for just to have the complete game. Imagine going to buy a car, but it doesn't come with tires or the steering wheel. The sad part being that despite the complaints, I doubt it will ever cease. RIP gaming 2032. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralWhiskers Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 It would be nice, I've had my PS5 for about 3 years now, and own probably 5 games for it. Compared to something like PS3 and PS2 with how many games were available, it was almost pointless to buy it. Not including the fact that a lot of the exclusives are now on PC as well.
