I'll be surprised if PS6 is out before 2028, gens get longer and longer and they've no need to rush it with most of their first party yet to reveal their PS5 titles.
Such a relief they went 3rd party when they did.
You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.
"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"
...
Wanna know what my favourite part about all this is? With Sony cancelling games and fumbling big releases (Concord), this would have been a great time for Xbox (the actual box) to have a resurgence if they didn't already bend the knee and provide PS5 owners with reasons to be happy with their platform of choice. PlayStation just can't stop winning, they have almost supernatural good luck.
"almost 20-year-old series"
It's 24 years old.
"no longer viable" as the PS5 out paces the PS4 and that's before GTA6 releases. The Switch 2 will almost certainly be a smash hit also.
Yeah I hear the new 50 series nvidia gpus are very affordable.
There's only one console in need of reviving.
@zeref
Yeah, I'm sure that's the reason why...
Most gaming PC numbers are made up of potato PCs running F2P titles like DOTA.
Oh, exclusives matter? Who knew?
Sadly, this. I can't remember a GTA or RDR that hit its initial release year. Maybe they learned a lesson since then and were very confident for a 2025 release but I'm not holding my breath.
Looks like they should have spent more. Now they've released a subpar product that damages their reputation as well as potentially damaging their relationship/trust with Marvel.
The Series X/S backwards compatibility to their old classics was one of the last few selling points for those consoles.
"That’s according to Xbox head Phil Spencer, who, as revealed by the FTC v. Microsoft documents that were released and subsequently removed today, told lawyers during a court event that Xbox would “exit the gaming business” if it failed to get 100 million customers to sign up for Game Pass by fiscal year 2027."
This is sustainable? :)
Who is to say a game like Shadow of the Colossus would even exist if it wasn't funded by Sony in order to entice consumers to their platform? Halo was going to be a RTS for Macs before MS stepped in because they needed a game to sell their Xbox. Exclusives also take full advantage of the hardware they are released on, meaning the game can be the best it can be.
Nothing anti consumer about this, nobody stops you from owning multiple platforms.
Apologies for the long delay, I was away. Anyway, Doom/Ghost/FFVIIR etc didn't have to deal with a massive, malicious leak that spread a 4chan false narrative about the game and spoiled huge key moments in a game that was mostly anticipated for its story. To still hit 10m despite all of that going against it in 1.5 years and on PS4 only, was a triumph. God of War 2018 was brought down to $40 within 6 months of launch permanently (Oct 2018), but this fact is never brought up when TLOU2 pri...
TLOU2 sold 10m in less time and on PS4 only. Many Druckmann haters like to pretend it's a flop and that Japanese games like this are what the people want.
As opposed to the PCs that can't run UE games without shader compiling stutters? The PCs where you can't own your games? Not to mention where you won't see GTA6 for god knows how long after PS5?
Yeah, let's dismiss that because some devs haven't wrapped their heads around a new feature yet.
FYI the VR Modes in RE7/RE8/RE4 Remake do this too.
