Where Do We Go From Here? The Future of Video Games

Some people may have a completely unrealistic vision for the next generation of consoles and what they will be deliver. The debates have been raging for quite some time now, but most people are forgetting to look at the facts and come to terms with what we should really be expecting in the coming years.

to be honest, i dont even know.. I wish the PS9 trailer was real.

Best4633d ago

Apple is going to take over the economy so sorry Sony. Good bye.

zero_cool4632d ago

The deeper message in that commercial is that sony is always looking so far into the future that they already have have every console generation mapped out a head of time roughly.Ken kutorogi's mind is always looking forward into distant future & the time most people figured out what he had envisioned from the start with playstation 3 his mind was set into the next console gen in advance that just how far into the future this guy looks ahead.

RayRay364632d ago

lol. This was made before the PS3 was even released. This is old as hell.

CrimsonEngage4633d ago

Game sales lowest since 2006? What games are you talking about? The ones that are NO DAMN GOOD? Because COD, BF, Halo, Gears of War, God of War, MGS4, Mario, Zelda, GTA, Red Dead Redemption and many other AAA titles are selling MILLIONS not to mention a few indie titles like Minecraft.

I actually stopped reading after that line. I'm not getting bored. I can't wait to get my hands on Gears 3, RAGE, Skyrim and BF3.

My apologies, that intro got tagged on from a different article in reference to this report from Game Biz.

http://www.gamesindustry.bi...

It has since been fixed and the appropriate intro has been included with the article.

0o0o0o0o0o Sweet Child o' Mine!!!

Sorry.

All I know about next gen is that Sony wont make a huge jump like they did with PS2 to PS3. The technology is being carried over so by PS4 developing for PlayStation shouldn't be a problem. Affordability + Developer Friendly should be great for immediate launch success

christheredhead4633d ago

yah i dont really expect to see to many major changes from ps3 to ps4. im sure there will be an overall higher quality for everything, generally speaking, but it just dont expect to see anything thats going to necessarily blow me away.

Dark_king4633d ago

Sorry alpha I disagree just not enough to click it,I think Sony will have a huge leap with their next console.Sony been already showing us the direction they intend to go 3d.So next gen expect a extremely fast high bandwidth CPU/GPU setup with the simple goal of 120-240 fps.
Now the article,since when did resolution become the main thing we consider a jump in system power.Thats like saying NES and Wii are equal because they are both SD.The article writer seems to overlook polygon count,physic,textures,ect...
We gamed in SD for over 30 years,constantly considering that new systems were quite a bit more powerful because they simple doubled their power from the last gen.

RevXM4633d ago

The goal of ps3 was 120FPS.
It sure as hell can do 120FPS EASILY, just need to do some TINY sacrifices.

I would like to have 60FPS@ 1080P with proper AA as a standard next gen.
Jagged, stuttering sub HD and 720p games goodbye.
60FPS is smooth enough.

Dark_king4633d ago

I expect 120 FPS at 1080P to be the standard next gen because of the 3d push.Sony is not going to want their developers having to cut corners for a out of the box feature.Proper AA would be great,I do expect something in that regard.I also expect they will really push the cell tech to the next level.

RevXM4633d ago

Well obviously the ps4 wont be a jump like ps3 was since ps3 is about 40 times as powerful as the ps2.
Current high end tech is about 10 times as powerfull as ps3.

We would have to wait at least a another 3 or 4 years for the Ps4 if it is to deliver a similar jump.
Maybe that is what happens, but that would be a awfully long wait in my opinion.

I just hope affordability wont mean that Sony cheap out on some hardware like they have done with ps3(partly ... Ram and gpu downgrade), thinking of Vita it would make sense if Ps4 was top of the line hardware, though very dev friendly, or atleast not anymore complicated than ps3 since there might be a chance that it will still use the Cell architecture. thus making BC possible and with the jump in power softwarte emulation of ps2 titles should be as well.

zero_cool4632d ago (Edited 4632d ago )

Don't be so sure of yourself on that this is sony their always looking on ways to go above & beyond their previous work.

Where do we go? Hopefuly we have a freaking engine that can crap out RPGs like with the PS1-PS2 era

Shooters are boring and most of them don't have a complex story I can follow(my only exception is MGS series and I luv it)

Apollyn4633d ago

Really good article and tbh is 100% spot on. :)

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

andy852d ago

And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.

BeHunted2d ago

It's fake. There's no factual evidence other than his own made up specs.

Hereandthere2d ago

What were the specks Sony was afraid of showing?

Shikoku2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Digital foundry put a video out saying what he leaked was exactly what they also knew about the PS5 PRO. So no it's not just stuff he made up

Babadook72d ago (Edited 2d ago )

If it’s fake what copyright does MLID infringe upon?

😂

andy852d ago

Aye because they'd go to the effort of copyright claiming it if it didn't exist 🙃😂 you'd have to be a special kind to be thinking its not a thing by now

Cacabunga2d ago

They need to reveal it with uncharted killzone or a heavy hitter like this

Ironmike2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

U mean the specs that we'll established digital foundry which said these are the actual specs published a video on 2 weeks ago I mean they are only one of most trusted sites for tech information but they just made up a video for the sake of it

Christopher1d 13h ago

I would love for it all to be fake, but lots of people are saying they've seen/heard the same thing. But, man, we 100% don't need mid-gen upgrades when we're failing hard to optimize current hardware.

Seraphim1d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

if I recall Sony lowered sales expectations for PS5 earlier this year. if that is the case we won't hear anything about a Pro until next year or shortly before/when it's dropping. After all, if the Pro was dropping this year/fiscal year they wouldn't have lowered expectations.

As for squashing rumors. Yeah, shit like this prevents potential buyers from adopting now, just like slim rumors in the past. It only makes sense to keep things under wraps from a business perspective. Despite living in a technological age of unfettered access to information we don't need to know whats going on behind closed doors be that at Sony, Nintendo, MS, or amongst any development studios. When the steak is done we shall feast.

JackBNimble1d 7h ago

By the time games are actually made to take advantage of the pro spec's the ps6 will be released or close to it.

jznrpg2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro

Ironmike2d ago

Pro won't lessen sales sames ps4 pro never and the ps4 pro was more relevant at the time cos move to 4k this not needed

RaidenBlack1d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

Yea, my brother got his PS4 (coz of a good deal) after the PS4 Pro's release.

darthv721d 16h ago

^^same here. I got a base 4 for only $100 off a guy who bought the Pro. then a few months later I found a guy on craigslist selling a pro for $100 because it was left behind by his former roommate who moved out. That was the beginning of my obsession to buy up the different variants of the PS4 that were released.

As of now I am really only missing the 500m one and the gold slim but otherwise I have pretty much all the other retail ones. https://consolevariations.c...

BoneMagnus1d 15h ago

@darth - Nice collection!

crazyCoconuts1d 10h ago

Anyone with 4K that appreciates 60fps is gonna disagree about it not being needed.
DLSS is a god send for Nvidia, and there's been nothing like it for AMD...yet ...

DeadlyFire1d 15h ago

They will announce it around E3 timeframe about May-June whenever they do a showcase for the year.

neutralgamer19922d ago

Just announce it this thing will sell well

Ironmike2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I don't think it will pll still haven't seen the potential of ps5 yet

Cacabunga1d 13h ago

agreed, but it might sell if they announce some 1st party games to lead the way. if people see the difference with the base version they can move on. for my sake I am still gaming mainly on PS4 (still not finished with RDR2 due to lack of gaming time). I have a huge backlog on PS5 I am hoping to get into.

mark3214uk1d 22h ago

why? game makers havnt even come close to maxing out current spec yet, were getting al lthese new TFlops and game maker are making crappy remakes not worthy of the ps3

Minute Man 7211d 17h ago

The guts of the 5 and X are 5 years old

fr0sty1d 10h ago

People keep saying that, yet we still have games running at near HD resolutions, 30fps, and ray tracing features turned off.

PRIMORDUS2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣

LoveSpuds1d 20h ago

With kind of analysis and advice, you could be a lawyer for Trump!🤣

tronyx121d 20h ago

As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
