This will end up in a similar position to Switch with third party games. UE5 will run like crap and so will other demanding games, PS5 is already falling behind noticeably if you watch DF analysis on frame rate, texture quality and resolution.

Hopefully Nintendo don't skimp on first party titles and content within them. I thought combining handheld and home console devs was gonna have a large difference to the amount of first party titles, can't really say I saw that happen with the Switch.. No Pilotwings, no Starfox, Mario Kart lacking a good single player mode and is still not a patch on
Diddy Kong Racing etc..

Just give us quality good looking first party games with plenty of content, challenge, and 60fps. We don't want half baked third party games running like ass.

The PS5 is trying to push max settings. The Switch 2 won't and will rely on things like DLSS to help make up the difference.

Number1TailzFan190d ago

PS5 pushes nowhere close to max settings dude, take a look at DF's comparisons.

Neonridr189d ago

@Number1TailzFan - my point is the Switch will rely on software to help make up the gap. And for a handheld, it will be just fine.

"PS5 is already falling behind noticeably if you watch DF analysis on frame rate, texture quality and resolution."

Maybe that's the reason why the PS5 Pro is releasing next year 🤔 or maybe it's just rumors and speculation

--Onilink--190d ago

Nintendo has been releasing 3-5 first party games each year since it came out, how can you possibly not have seen any difference in their output?

You might not like all the games they made and of course each one will vary in terms of scope, budget, etc, but they are easily the ones with the more consistent output (in terms of not having large gaps without games) out of the 3 console makers

Number1TailzFan190d ago

Maybe the next Mario Kart will be another bog standard single player racer that's not a patch on Diddy Kong Racing again. They've put out some good games but some have been overhyped and overrated for sure.

Games1st190d ago

I get the series s now that switch 2 will be the lowest denominator.

PassNextquestion190d ago

I'd guess Switch 2 will get a port of the Xbox Series s version games but further downgraded.

Sony States We Will Know More About the "Long-Term Vision" of PlayStation Later This Month

Sony has confirmed that there is something happening later this month and it involves SIE which is the division that operates PlayStation.

Skuletor21h ago

My guess, is they were waiting for the new CEO position to be finalized before their next showcase and now that's out of the way.

neutralgamer199220h ago

Yes I think you are right. They wanted the leadership in place hopefully now they can give a strong showing of what’s to come

S2Killinit19h ago

Its not confirmed that this will involve game announcements.

Cacabunga19h ago

Tbh this claim doesn’t reassure me at all..

Eonjay15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

@S2Killinit

If this is about games that worries me because I thought they were walking away from announcing titles far in advance. For them to say 'Long Term Vision' sounds like we are getting announcements years in advance. I don't want that. Lets hope the long term vision part refers to their goal for the company and that they also give us info on projects reaching fruition in the short term.

Also, this is gonna be where we find out that they are going full PC day and date (or greatly reduced if they don't have the capacity at their studios). Its gonna happen. Why? Because all you have to do is look at Helldivers... fastest selling PlayStation game ever. And they make good games. They will sell.
Now we can fight over whether this will hurt the console space. I don't think so as long as they provide an option that will allow people to come close to maxing out their graphics... ergo the PRO.

@Eonjoy
I think MS already made that decision for ALL consoles when they went full PC. There is no way other consoles can stay away from PC when their competitor decides to treat PC and Xbox the same. If eventually Sony and possibly even Ninty don’t go PC, they would be handing an advantage to MS. Unfortunately

Sounds good, PS5 Pro preorders. Let’s do this!

Crows9020h ago

I don't get it....we barely got any ps5 exclusives and people already want a refresh??

crazyCoconuts19h ago

When they show GTA6 on the Pro I think you'll get it

VersusDMC19h ago

Pretty sure we got 5 console exclusives this year so far and 3rd party games took advantage of the PS4pro last gen so it will happen with the PS5pro as well.

romulus2318h ago

I don't get it either but people get new iphones the second they come out even though they just bought the previous one which works just fine. Some people just want the latest and greatest no matter what and have the income to do it. If the improvement to games is significant enough I may get one but probably not at launch.

-Foxtrot18h ago

Exactly

I will always be behind the idea that one of the reasons why this gen doesn't feel as much of a leap is because we kind of got spoilt with the PS4 Pro last gen. It was like a teaser to this gen.

Looking back on a technological leap after 7 years is way more impressive than if it was 3 or so.

Crows9013h ago

@versus

You're making this out to be something it isn't. I think it's stupid that sony themselves have barely put out any exclusives that can only run on the ps5 and we already have calls for a "pro" version...that is mindblowingly dumb in my opinion

Einhander197211h ago(Edited 11h ago)

People come up with the silliest reasons to claim the console isn't needed, exclusives made by Sony don't matter, third party games are like 500 to 1 even in the best year.

And since PS1 PlayStation has relied on third party publishing deals, the vast vast majority of games that people see as PlayStation games were made by third party developers published by Sony, Insomniac only recently became a PlayStation studio all their games made before that were as a third party.

PS5 Pro is the same as a graphics card upgrade that no one ever complains about like this, and it's way cheaper performance per dollar than a CPU.

Doubt you're getting a pro annoucement in a business update

InUrFoxHole1h ago

Hard pass. They haven't even made the most out of the base ps5

anast20h ago

Big things right around the corner.

purple10120h ago

Almost optimistic to say, but those leaks of the 6 cancelled games (games that were not even announced)

yeh, maybe some didn't actually get cancelled after all

notachance20h ago

as a long time ps fans I hope they still put great single player games front and center, make your live service games if you have to but don’t force your 1st party studios to make something they don’t want to.. redfall is an unfortunate example of a good studio forced to basically destroy themselves.

Eonjay15h ago

Good points. How would you feel if Sony decided to put their single player games on PC day and date? This would allow their studios making single player games to recoup more money to keep the games coming. If it works with GaaS why not single player?

notachance12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

If they do that, it’s just a matter of time before someone make a console using PC as a platform, then that console would automatically have the full PC games (which means combined PS, PC, and Xbox games) as a library.

In fact, who’s to say steam aren’t working at it right now lol, just imagine it, something with the ease of use of console that can play both ps and xbox games day 1.. combined with the marketbase of steam, there’s the new king of console.

Or better yet, Nintendo would do it and there will finally be one console that can play it all..

Ps: on the topic of games releasing day and date, you could argue that by delaying PC release date there will be a few people who double dipped on buying games, just like what good ol rockstar loved doing with their games..

fr0sty7h ago

PC PS5 ports lack certain features, like the 3D audio and controller haptic support...so there will always be reasons to play PS5 games on a PS5.
