@AdamNovice That's a shame really. I get that not everyone has the money, time or space for multiple consoles but if it's ever driven by an "I don't want an Xbox because Xbox sucks!" mentality then I think it's sad.
@get2sammyb Sorry to hark on about Xbox but I love the fact you can click on a game and see what DLC/extras if any are available and loads of it turns out to be free (especially with BC games).
I would also like to see which games need an update without having to click on each one and check. It's something that Xbox does already do it can't be difficult to do.
@gaston I completely agree with you. I adore my PSVR2 and I've bought so many games for it. I just wish that Sony would show more. I'm not asking for them to put billions into developing games. I'd love to see PSVR1 games get ported. I'd love to see VR modes added to games in the same way GT and WipeOut did.
It will be really interesting to see if development cycles can be massively reduced by AI assistance. The current turnaround time, cost and pressure involved aren't sustainable.
@gaston I just want some sign from Sony that they aren't leaving everything to 3rd parties. As I've said before, even a few VR1 ports would do for now. Meta have a new Batman VR exclusive arriving on Quest in the future and yet Sony haven't talked about any news games since launch.
@HonestHick You and I both know we're cut from the same cloth when it comes to pointless console wars. All the best to you and everyone you care about my friend. Take care. Speak soon.
Games are heading exactly where music and films went. Streaming and/or downloading.
I have said, many times before, that hardware will be irrelevant when apps/subscriptions are the norm.
Why buy a game when you can stream it? I'm not saying I like that future but it's already happening.
Why buy a £600 console if you can download an app to give you the same games.
PlayStation will only be an app in the future. Xbox will be an app. Capcom will be an app. You'll be able to subscribe and play the games you want to play on a fairly standard hard drive.
And with Microsoft buying up the most profitable games on the planet, they will beat Sony. The Xbox brand will mean every game and studio they own rather than a box under your TV.
Nintendo on the other hand may continue doing things their own way.
@themightyant I recognise that the Switch has had, by far, the best library of any console over the last 7 years. If not ever.
On the other hand, if I pay £500+ for a console that promises next gen, I expect it to deliver. Neither Xbox nor PlayStation have delivered on their promises.
Xbox haven't cared about hardware for many, many years. I'm fairly sure Microsoft are going to outsource Xbox hardware next gen to other manufacturers in the same way that Windows laptops/PCs are made.
Microsoft will continue selling software to anyone who will buy it and make billions from PlayStation gamers.
I really don't understand how any PlayStation fans consider selling more hardware a success in this day and age.
Where are all my Dell fans at??? HP for the win!!! Nobody does this with PCs and it's mental that console wars are still going strong years after I left the playground.
@gaston Only two of those games are first party so I'll, sadly, stand by my arguement. The fact that you're trying to say otherwise suggests that you haven't spent £530 on one like I have.
@themightyant I'll agree that faster load times are better. I'll agree that improved frame rates and higher fidelity are better.
But are the games? I don't think they are. Especially not for spending the best part of half a grand.
And most of the 'next gen' games you listed could have been achieved on PS4 Pro and especially Xbox One X, with little to no compromise.
I've constantly been bitterly disappointed by everything so far this gen of PlayStation and Xbox. My Switch is my most used console followed by my Quest 3. Not because of anything other than the fact the games are fun to play and (in the case of Quest) hassle free.
I love VR. I have tons of games for my PSVR and PSVR2. But Sony really need to start bringing out more exclusive first party games or my money will be spent in the Meta store for my Quest 3.
@ChrisDeku I get your point but I do think that people who bought a PS5 for next gen gaming are questioning their purchase due to the lack of games they couldn't have possibly had on PS4.
That's been the biggest thing for me. This gen has been incredibly dull in my opinion. And the way Sony have abandoned the PSVR2 so far has definitely given me buyer's remorse.
I've said in previous posts that I've unboxed my PS3 and am having an amazing time with it. I even bought another system in case mine dies on me.

@K1LLEGAL Bespoke consoles don't have a bright future for anyone, including Sony. Next gen is the last.

@Mikey856 Please God, let this be irony and sarcasm. 🤣
Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Xbox's Sea of Thieves Is Massive on PS5, Helldivers 2 Finally Starts to Slip
@UltimateOtaku91 Fair enough. I would say that hardware is is irrelevant at this point. I think Microsoft acknowledged this years ago.
They want you to buy their games.

Helldivers 2 should be multi platform. I think all games with an online focus should be.

Re: Ex-PS5 Exec Shawn Layden Isn't Holding Back His Feelings on Xbox
Also, I haven't seen anything about the comments David Jaffe said about PlayStation needing to up their game after the Xbox showcase.
Did I miss that or was not reporting it deliberate?
Re: Ex-PS5 Exec Shawn Layden Isn't Holding Back His Feelings on Xbox
People reading or listening to something and then lying about what was said to suit their own narrative seems to be the norm these days.
He never mentioned PlayStation once. He did however mention the CoD deals that Xbox initially started.
Re: These Are All the Games from the Xbox Showcase Confirmed for PS5
@NattyKing Game Pass subscribers can buy games if they want at a 20% discount at launch.
Re: Hands On: They're Rough Around the Edges, But It's Awesome to Have PS2 Games Back on PS5, PS4
Just play Tomb Raider Legend on a Series X|S via backwards compatibility. It's great!

And folders. I want folders.
Re: PS5 Needs to Do a Better Job of Alerting You to the Things Going on in Your Games
@breakneck The Xbox home screen works really well in my opinion. The only time you get a lot of ads is if you scroll into them. Which I don't.

Clearly any game that doesn't hit this target is crap.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Remaster Confirmed as Yooka-Replaylee, PS5 Version Likely
Really? Why? The game was perfectly good on PS4/Xbox One.

Re: PC Players Are Fuming Until Dawn, God of War Ragnarok Appear to Require PSN Logins
If people are complaining because they don't want to set up a PSN account. Tough ****. Grow up. Everything needs an account/login these days.
If people are complaining because PSN isn't available in their country and therefore can't buy the game at all, then that's a genuine complaint.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for May 2024?
Very poor overall. Astrobot looks great but more of the same. Until Dawn just made me angry.
Re: Until Dawn Looks Scarily Good in PS5 Gameplay Trailer, Arrives in Fall 2024
I thought this was going to use a new, over the shoulder camera angle for gameplay?
This looks exactly the same to me. I love the original but this just seems to be a complete waste of time.

@LifeGirl Do you genuinely think that Microsoft has ever cared about what box is under your TV?
Or do they care about what software you can ONLY access via them?

Re: PS5 Sales Trend Ahead of PS4 in US, Leads Console Market By 'Significant Margin'
@colonelkilgore Microsoft will continue to make billions in software. PlayStation owners are now going to make up a huge part of that.
I don't understand why care about consoles under a TV?
Re: State of Play Officially Confirmed for 30th May, Updates on PS5, PSVR2 Games
@themightyant I recognise that the Switch has had, by far, the best library of any console over the last 7 years. If not ever.
On the other hand, if I pay £500+ for a console that promises next gen, I expect it to deliver. Neither Xbox nor PlayStation have delivered on their promises.
Switch has delivered on its promise.
How is that difficult to understand?

I love VR. I have tons of games for my PSVR and PSVR2. But Sony really need to start bringing out more exclusive first party games or my money will be spent in the Meta store for my Quest 3.
Re: PSVR2's Anticipated PC Adaptor Appears Imminent
@Max_the_German The PSVR2 screens may be better but the lenses definitely aren't. I have both and the sweet spot on Quest 3 is basically anywhere.
There are pros and cons for both but being able to play without constantly adjusting my headset is a major plus for me.
