my xbox series x should be here tomorrow barring something funky going down

don't have a pre-order for a ps5 but they seem pretty confident about shipping a ton of those before the end of the fiscal year so if i'm lucky i'll snag one online on launch day and if not i'll probably be able to find one in january

wait if the Wii was in the same generation of the PS3 and 360....

Wii U and Switch are the same generation huh? I guess the Switch is like a fixed version of the U.

I'll probably get all three eventually, but I always wait for specific game releases before dropping money on the consoles.

I never heard any mention of Sony or Microsoft last gen, so it will be nice if they are able to get their shit together and give Nintendo a good run for their money.

I mean, PS4/Xbox One were quite successful, just in a normal way. I don't think there's any reason to think they don't have shit together.

PS4 is up there with SNES and PS2 as an all time console for me. It did quite well for itself

PC isn't a console

It is, however, a platform that runs parallel to every console as an alternative. I don't plan on buying any console. The only company that can even pretend to give me a compelling reason to do so is Nintendo, because their first-party games are exclusive.

PS4 had tons of incredible exclusive.

Hell, the Demons Souls remake is exclusive and I'd take that over anything that came out on PC or Switch this year!

I will be getting a PS5 once a game I care about and can't play on PS4 comes out, which will probably be Final Fantasy XVI

Just like when I bought a PS4 for Final Fantasy XV!

A PS5 probably
I never owned a Sony console and I have been missing on a lot of amazing exclusives. Sony proved with every generation that they have great exclusives that are worth playing
With PS4 backwards compatability
The Last of Us, Spider Man, God of War, Uncharted, Ghost of Tsushima, FFVII R
And some more games that are console exclusives but who cares about the Xbox really (no reason to get a Xbox over a Playstation)

Hooray always online consoles

Hopefully PSN doesn't go down Thursday

Can't wait for PC games to start requiring SSDs.

I assume you can, but the discs require day 1 patches, so if you don't have those installed yet you're boned.

Saw a clip of Sonic Unleashed on XSeX and he transforms between the Werehog and Hedgehog instantly.

No Sonic Unleashed on PS5. I bought the wrong console.

I'll most assuredly get a PS5 sometime next year. I could see myself getting a Series S at some point to function as a Game Pass machine or to provide myself with a console that is a bit more easily moveable should I ever require that.

I've got to admit - This is the least interested I have ever been in a new generation of gaming. The XBSX & PS5 really don't seem to offer anything new other than slightly better graphics. What am I missing?

Super quick load times and the Dualsense controller's adaptive triggers and haptics is where the real next gen is

Yeah, but what does that mean in English? How will those things make games more innovative?

Video games have been designed around load times for the past couple decades - long stretches of busywork where loads happen in the background and such. Getting rid of those seems innovative enough.

How is that less of a step forward than the PS4/XB1?

So, no load times is the big thing now? Is it really no load times or just faster load times, though? I suppose I would have to play it to see if it makes a difference.

When I think about major gaming innovations over the years, these are some of the big ones I think of -

Gen 3 - side scrolling games and actual midi music
Gen 4 - adding story to games, orchestrated music, multilayered backgrounds
Gen 5 - 3-D games
Gen 6 - Integrating cinemas into games
Gen 7 - Motion controls, Online gaming
Gen 8 - Digital distribution (Gamepass/ PS Plus), VR Gaming
Switch (Gen 8??) - Seamless handheld/console hybrid

But I would recommend watching the mark cerny video from back like in March or whatever he explains pretty well how the ps5's loading times will lead to changes in game design
