They need to start focusing on developing and improving AI instead, because a lot of games prove they haven't made much progress in this front.

I think Ps4 era graphics hit the sweetspot between a game looking great and a game not being as expensive or time-consuming to make, so i genuinely believe that standardizing Ps5 or even Ps6-looking games will never happen, they are getting so expensive to make and they take over half a decade to be produced so to guarantee some money back, games HAVE to be live-service, which i and everyone else hates.

While there most likely is truth to it, I also feel a lot of the problems you descriped are self inflicted. Like, nobody forces Take2 or Rockstar to spend that much money in GTA 6, nobody forces them to make expansive open worlds, nobody forces them to spend millions or so on celebrity voice actors and nobody forces them to make the marketing budget as big as the dev budget. Those are all self made decisions and stuff that can be cut down to save money.

I agree that it’s good for gamers to want better products. With that being said, I don’t think a lot of us know what better is or what specifically we want. Especially on a very fickle idea like “having fun”

Spiderman 2 and final fantasy 16 don't count though? Two of the biggest franchises of all time and their newest games are only available on PS5. Also blame other publishers for not releasing next gen games, Activision, Ubisoft, epic games. By this time in the PS4 gen, those publishers were only working on ps4 games, PS3 was done.

It's a very prominent problem imo, i'm fortunate enough to own both a PS4, PS5 and a gaming PC, and my PS5 is mostly collecting dust except for when i play GTA Online (which i also played on the PS3!) or Hogwarts Legacy and Rift Apart (both of which are on PC now anyway). Other than that theres just not much dragging me over to it from the PC and it's a true shame. I use it mostly for media streaming now and it's just tragic. My advice to people is to wait tbh, its not worth the jump from PS4 yet. Unlike with the PS3, the jump from 4 to 5 rendered my PS4 completely obsolete, since i can play my entire library from PS4 on the PS5. I'm all for backwards compatibility but it still feels sad to have zero reasons to use my PS4, and with the lack of next gen exclusive games, not much reason to use the PS5 either. Also worth adding, youve gained a sub with this. Shockingly high quality video from such a small channel, cheers to future greatness.

Not to mention most of the ps4/5 exclusives are being ported over to Steam now, so now there's even less of an incentive to own a console from Sony or Microsoft for that matter, especially considering the price increase of AAA games and lack of sales on Consoles compared to PC and that also goes for paying for online multiplayer and honestly, I think it's time that LSG publishers and devs like Bungie to quit being afraid of 'cheaters' on Linux when they have a massive problem with that on PC already and could easily implement their games to work with 'easy anti-cheat' if they really wanted to. Point is that there's a reason we're starting to see a rather big migration by console gamers who are moving to PC: Better deals, free multiplayer, mods and just more variety.

These consoles really should have been delayed by a year or two

Probably gone back to development stage to interject surprise mechanics and the writing stage to satisfy the ever elusive , modern audience.

That's just it though, gamers AREN'T demanding better games. They're just demanding flashier games and it costs so much to make stuff that flashy that the gameplay itself has to be dumbed down to try and appeal to the broadest audience possible. Nintendo has managed to keep budgets small enough on lower tech hardware to deliver better games that actually take better advantage of technology for the purpose of innovating gameplay, and the development time on most has been shorter. There is a lesson that can be learned from that.

"its time to move on" you think? Then you buy me a 500€ console

What’s the song at 7:00? It sounds like something from Persona 5.

PlayStation has been the only one to produce a few great next-gen games, like Returnal, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Demon’s Souls, Spider-Man 2, Gran Turismo 7 and Helldivers 2. But even so, I feel starved of true next gen games right now.

This is why i stan handheld gaming. Its hardeare is more in lockstep the average game devs ability to make games.

The facts that the ps5 is still barely passing the xbox one sales numbers. Is a true representation of how bad this gen is.

There's a lot of reasons, but in my opinion, I feel like we've reached a "plateau" on graphics/quality for games. The top 5 most popular games (Minecraft, GTAV, Fortnite, Roblox, CoD Warzone) either originated on 7th gen consoles or could easily run on those consoles without problems. Consumers are comfortable with the games/consoles they currently own because the PS5/Series X aren't offering much on the table other than better graphics and SSD quality, which to some isn't enough to spent the extra $$$ to upgrade. And speaking of money, where are the price drops? Sony had a history of releasing "slim" consoles with a cheaper price tag, but the PS5 Slim is actually MORE expensive than the launch PS5. If there's any reason for PS4 owners not upgrading, that's definitely the one.

For a very small channel like yours this video is very well professionally made and edited. Yeah I agree that this next-gen experience feels very dull. I'm going to be honest with you in that there's very few games that are out right now that make me want to say "yeah I want to go get a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series S or X." Games like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Spider-Man 2 Final Fantasy XVI are only on the PlayStation 5 *for now* until they eventually get ported to PC. And if somebody already has a top-tier gaming rig why the hell are they going to go out and spend $500 for a PlayStation 5 just to play a game for $70 when they can just wait a year or two for the game to get ported to PC? No I don't have a gaming rig and I would love to play these games (I don't have a PS5 nor Xbox Series console) but if I did have a gaming rig why go out and spend that much for a console when I could just sit back and wait and besides if I have a backlog of games I might as well wait and by the time I get through them the game that I want to get the console for it's going to get ported to PC? For example The Last of Us Part 2 finally got ported to PC... Yaaaay..... After getting a PlayStation 5 upgrade *that by the way you have to pay $10 for it because Sony ain't going to give anything away for free anymore* and originally coming out on the PlayStation 4. Why go out and spend $500 on a console to play The Last of Us Part 2 when I could just get a PlayStation 4 and a copy of The Last of Us Part 2 and play it over there? Plus the "innovations" on PS5 don't scream at me "oh yeah I got to get a PS5 to play The Last of Us Part 2 on" when I could just play it on my PlayStation 4. And as for Xbox? HAHAHAHAHA 😂 "The world's most powerful console?" But yet games like Starfield, Redfall, Hellblade 2 and etc don't even run at 60FPS. That is absolutely pathetic and I'm not even much of an FPS type of person. I shouldn't really care if a game is 30 FPS or 60 FPS but if you're parading around that this console is the greatest console on God's green earth then why is it running these games in this quality? Plus I can cloud stream these games through my Xbox One, A ORIGINAL XBOX ONE BTW! Yes the quality is crap and the performance may be bad if you have horrible internet but I got pretty good internet from where I live and the experience I would say is okay-ish. And there hasn't been anything on Xbox that has jumped out and made me say "oh I want to go get me an Xbox series s or X console". Even the first party games Xbox are promoting, they're just going to come to GamePass and probably be available through cloud streaming so why get a next-gen system if I could just play them from the cloud? This generation to me feels very very weak and outside of money issues for me, there's just a lack of interest for me to even go out and get a next-gen system. I'm better off just saving up and getting a gaming rig and waiting for eventually ports. That's all I have to say, rant over. 😅

Sure the PlayStation 4 can only record in 720p quality (and it looks like crap when you upload it to KZread because KZread rendering and compression ugh) but I like my PlayStation 4. As for the Xbox one I can record in 1080P quality (as long as I'm connected to the internet) and a majority of games are in 900p which in my opinion is not too much of a difference to visualize from 1080p. And the games that are in 1080P quality in my opinion look amazing on the OG Xbox One. Also I kind of like Xbox's customer service better than PlayStation and I've never really had an issue with them. PlayStation customer service is literally the spawn of Satan and I've never had a good experience with them outside one time where my PlayStation account got hacked and luckily they got it back for me.

My original plan was to wait for spiderman 2, god of war, and horizon 2 to release before I purchased it and yeah your basically right I haven't found a reason to really chase it.

The only way to make me upgrade to PS5 was Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, cause Nihon Falcom isn't releasing any PS5 exclusive Ys or Trails title soon.

The real simple answer is they probably started development for last gen then just put in on current gen also to make more. Video games take like 3-7 years to make and console generations are only like 7 years so you might see games launch like 6 years after after the next gen console in current consoles. Also its less risky and more profitable to sell a game to as many people as possible. Edit: also last gen also had cross gen games. I think as time goes on and the gen gap isn't as big. They can make some games for both.

Well, there has not yet been a absolute system seller. For Playstation 5 for example, there is still no big system seller. Pretty much all their exclusives are either releasing on PS5 and PS4 or are getting PC ports down the line.

Returnal has kept me busy for 3 years but man do i want more. It's good don't get me wrong but where are the new IP's

The truth is the leap in power was so minute Devs couldn't make any significant advancements. Console manufacturers used to take a loss on hardware and recoup through software. That way they could push out custom advanced tech. Now its all about using the cheapest standard components maximizing hardware profit and using subscription services for games. UE5 has an incredibly advanced toolset including physics and destruction, but current consoles don't have the horsepower to utilise it. In short subscription services were the worst thing to happen to gaming.

Another big reason i think is that the PS5 basically has no games, yet Sony said that the console is in it's life's second half, so why would someone buy one for 4-5 years?

Im going to disagree with people saying graphics hit a plateau, that is far from the truth. The progress has been slow but theres still plenty of room to improve. As far as games go, this has been the least impressive generation imo due to to sony and Microsoft not phasing out their previous consoles fast enough, instead they decided to focus more on sales. Sony releasing a pro version of the ps5 is nothing but a cash grab and will flop. Hopefully this trend will be discontinued.

Yeah man I agree. Graphics have been great but there’s always room to improve! And as for the “pro” consoles, I hate that idea for this generation. Last gen I’ll give a pass because 4K tv’s were still relatively new and once they became affordable it made sense to take advantage of it with a mid gen refresh. But for this gen? Idk it doesn’t feel like this generation has earned it imo. I’m with all the way in hoping this trend dies

Just indulging in a fantasy; What if we all ignored the console "generation" thing and moved on to PC already....If we all did that, then all console platforms would have to move to PC and simply become competitors with Steam. Basically everyone could have Playstation, Xbox, and Nintrndo platforms in one device. All those companies could still innovate and release their peripherals directly on PC. Such as the PS's Dualsense 2, or the Switch 2 that is basically a portable gaming PC (while still being able to use the Joycon controllers on stationary PCs). 3rd party Peripheral manufacturers also wouldn't need to make controllers and wheels...etc etc, for every console, just one that works on PC! There would be no need for consoles anymore. If you need to have a console experience from your couch, you'd just get a small factor PC and set it up to your platform of choice and the option of full screen and a controller

And the stupid customers also contributed to the whole craze.

I think the next gen is gonna need a whole wave of games to get everyone to commit. And ultimately, I think a new wave is inevitable. What we're seeing here, as you pointed out, is the problem of game development times being too long. And they're longer not least because developers are constantly playing catch-up to what they think it's going to be the marketplace when the game comes out. That's what ruined Suicide Squad. They made and remade the game over and over, trying to catch up with the latest trends and the latest platforms, instead of just coming up with a game idea and committing to it. Of course, this is of a piece with the way WB was handling everything, a business model I think we can safely say wasn't a formula for success. I think Insomniac has the right idea, if they're doing what I think they're doing. In Spider-Man, they developed not only a game engine, but a whole game template they could go back to over and over. The success of the Miles Morales game suggests they could do something similar with a Venom game, a Spider-Gwen game, even a Daredevil game, all in the same universe, with the same engine, reusing maps and mechanics. And each new spin-off game could build more and more depth into the system they already have, instead of having to start from scratch. Back in the day, Arkham Origins proved that what amounts to a game-sized game expansion, while not winning any awards, is perfectly a serviceable product, that's now remembered quite fondly. I don't see why every game needs to be developed for 10 years, only to be scrapped for the next one. Why not develop a game template like the Arkham games or Spider-Man, and just iterate off of it with one arm while developing the next level of game with the other. If the mechanics are truly worthwhile, they can carry more than just one game's worth of story. You succinctly point out all the problems of the current generation, but I think it's worth speculating what solutions might work. The bottom line is games need shorter development times. three years in, we're still waiting for the promise of the PS5 to be fulfilled. The only game that truly qualifies is Cyberpunk2077, if only because the disastrous PS4 edition proved it a next-gen product, whether they wanted it to be or not. Bear in mind, I lived through the 80s, so Cyberpunk's nostalgic little stroll down memory lane just seems tacky and out-dated to me. SO I'm certainly not biased toward the game, far from it. But purely from a tech standpoint, it seems like the first true current-gen game. But the problem with it is, it's still the kind of game we've been getting for over a decade, a first person action RPG. I think someone needs to create a new kind of game if the new generation is to have its own identity. But the problem with all the big AAA titles is that they don't take big swings. "The same, but more" isn't how you move forward. Games need to be inventive again, and that's all but impossible with 8 year development times. If they don't do something about that, people are eventually going to lose interest. The only games worth such a financial risk are games they know are popular. But who's to say what will be popular in two years, let alone 8? They're making the same games over and over, only adding more graphics detail to let you it's the latest thing. I think there are three Sekiro knock-offs coming in the next year or so, and half-dozen other "souls-likes" featuring faceless main characters fighting one gigantic boss after another. How long before that formula wears out? I'm guessing it'll be long before the last of those games is released. And by then, developers will have more in the pipeline, games doomed to be obsolete before they're even finished. This is the problem with the 8 year dev time, when combined with the determination to chase trends rather than innovate. The only question is, who'll learn this lesson, and who'll die off? And of course, what does the next generation of game look like? Cuz I ain't seen hide nor hair of it yet.

there wont have next gen games if people constantly want a 60 fps games, the reason why ps3 and xbpx 360, ps4 and xbox one was able to push itself to become next gen game because company limit itself to 30 fps and 1080p or lower. now almost all game are capable of running on 60 fps but at the cost of previous gen graphic. you could say ps5 is like a ps4 machine that is capable of running it on 60 fps or 4k 30 fps only.

Games are not going to feel next gen anymore because we’ve basically hit a graphics plateau. Before there was always higher fidelity even between the ps3 and ps4 not so much between ps4 and ps5, sure we can get load times but it just does not feel like a huge leap. There are “next gen” games but they don’t feel that way and the next gen games we do get don’t look and run that well on the ps5 anyway dropping down to 720p like ff16, ff7, returnal, dragons dogma. You may not see it but at least when a game gets a dual release on ps4/ps5 you know it’ll run at 60fps for sure.

The only reason people want exclusives is so they can say they console is better take away exclusives and fans have nothing to war about

To put into perspective few years from now 9th gen consoles will be as old as 8th gen consoles when they began announcing SX & Ps5. I thought devs were gonna cook with Unreal Engine 5 after that spectacular preview of its capabilities and there's really only been a hand full games with UE5, they did some cool stuff with Graphics and special fx but the games are forgettable & lack luster then theres every other game that's either your run of the mill multiplayer/service or single player being held back by 8th gen tech. Im glad i got a pc in 2020 i can at least get more out of these games with graphics, performance & mods. I recently bought a console on impulse, and it's definitely nice to have its convienence but im never spending full price on them again when i can just upgrade my rig for way cheaper. Idc what next gen is packing if it's not followed by an onslaught of (good) games that take full advantage of its tech what the hell is the point?

What game is that?

There are a lot of factors that have been discussed before: one of the major ones was the time these consoles released couldn't have ben worse. The market itself has changed, now more than even companies want long time profit so the live service has taken priority. The gamers have changed and a very devided and often times very selective with what they invest their money, with good reason. You have the increased focus on size and fidelity, making games to take sometimes a decade to be released. That also increases budget, which then increases the price tag, which makes consumers be more selective of what they buy, which then affecys sales, on and on. You also have the parasites, also known as Consulting Companies activelly blackmailing and destroying stuff. You have investors like Black Rock dictating how the market and the folk innit should think. You have other investors outsode of the gaming industry than just want a piece of the pie and expect crazy high numbers. You have companies lying to said investors. You have toxic consumers. There are so so so much that goes in to the machine that it's no wonder this generation has lost it's way and it will probably be remembered as one of tge worsts.

It might be because of the pandemic, slows every development of games in the industry.

The p s four was at 73 Million. First four years The p s five is at sixty million it's about the same Plus with a supply shortage You are missed in form

I didn't bother with next gen consoles because they have little to no actual exclusives and PC is a thing. Why would I spend like $800 CDN on a PS5 and $600 on an Xbox when I could spend $1,200 to simply upgrade my PC and get a decent portion of each platforms library on a platform I already own. PC + Steam Deck + Switch = all the games I need on the low low. I get that not everyone is in this position, but with prebuild PCs and PCs becoming easier than ever to build and maintain, I feel like more people should take an hour out of their life to watch a youtube build guide on PC that goes over each component, what they do and shows you how to build a PC.

It’s corporate greed. Most have been just annoying and bad. However Elden Ring and God of War Raganrok were absolute masterpieces and are the best games of their franchises. Companies used the pandemic as an excuse but they know they can make good games. It’s unfortunately about money now

I'm jumping to steam, I don't see a reason to buy a ps5. Plus, the console exclusives usually go to steam as well (palworld). I already have a newer well balanced laptop til I get a pc set up

2014 was when everything started getting worse imo. Way less games were coming out compared to old gens.

Isn’t that two words

I have both consoles, after this im just gonna try building a pc. Been gaming since NES and maybe its nostalgia but it feels like ps2 era was the peak of gaming. Graphics are good now but games are meh. Smaller studios are whooping the AAA giants right now

PC is so good for finding smaller games that are hidden gems

What technology exponential rate? You just said earlier that technology is not evolving that fast. One of the reason next gen doesn t sell it s because the jump is not that big. Look at games, 5 years old games look the same or marginally worse than current gen. We can play new games on 10 years old hardware. I think technology has reached a point where it cannot hook people anymore. Not for the price we have to pay for it.

I need that Switch 2 ASAP dude 😭😭

My ps5 is a PS4 Pro +

Ngl i'm happy that the PS4 is still getting games bcs I don't have a ps5 and my PC doesn't run games on high with ray tracing 😔

Oddly enough, it's a great time to buy a PS4. They're cheap. There's a huge library and games are still coming out lmao. Current gen has an issue... no one needs it unless they're forced to.

Sold my PS5 and switched to PC literally because I saw no reason to own a current gen console when there’s barely anything being released on it. At least on PC I can buy a bunch of cheap games on Steam and have a significantly better time playing old games. Also, most PS5 games are on PC anyways rendering a PS5 useless.

It’s hard to argue against PC. Nintendo feels like the only company left where I feel like I REALLY need to get the console lol

Still on PS4 (and mainly Switch). As much as I want to get a PS5, I don't see much reason. Yeah, I want to play FF7 Rebirth, but I need to play FF7 first (which is on PS4). Then what we got? That's pretty much it. Then we have the prices of the games which is a big turn off, and even then the games looks like they play like PS4 games. And I don't care for the graphic upgrade (I'm a Switch player)

Little Big Planet 4 and as at least better than 3

Leave it to rockstar to be the only reason to buy a ps9 or an xbox 720

I'm pretty sure my days of buying video games are steadily approaching an end. I own all of maybe 20 PS4 games and 5 PS5 games that are also previous gen titles. Nothing coming out is appealing to me at all. GTA VI doesn't even look interesting to me at all. Honestly, Nintendo is the only one even remotely holding my attention these days.

There is next gen, they are all remakes, lol 😅 There is no next gen, both consoles have declared they are throwing the towel already. Love my PS4 ❤

Amazing video. I also feel like this generation has been the worst so far with PS5 and Xbox. Switch is the only ones who has done things right.

Thank you:) and yeah, I can’t wait to see what Nintendo is cooking up with the Switch’s successor!

This whole generation has been awful aside from a few I personally enjoyed. The only reason I have a PS5 is to catch up on all the things I didn't do during the PS4 era. Constant delays to big games and general complacency made these years unbearable. I doubt it will improve.

Live service is what they want. They want you playing the same shit for a decade. And paying them at least annually. Plus it takes 7 years to make a AAA game. Progress.

While everyone is convinced to moved to PS5 with The Last of Us Part 3 or GTA 6 to get folks to moved to PS5? I would only cared to moved to PS5 if there's another Dark Cloud game or Twisted Metal. But since we don't get that, I could cared less. Also it is the reason why I bought Asus ROG Ally instead. All I could say is I hope Sony for the best. I just just never cared for Sony anymore ever since their exclusives aren't nearly as good as the time I used to play PS1 and PS2 and enjoyed them a lot.

Buying a PS5 is not a human right. If Sony blew it, and crappy people scalped it, well - don't be stupid and don't buy it. It was not an awful time for gaming, just a bunch of people with too much money on their hands and too little knowledge the medium of video games (WHY would you even buy a PS5 in 2020? To play FIFA 21?)

Completely agree. People make too much of the term 'console' as if it something special. For me they are just a platform to play games on. The only thing that makes me want to buy a console is the games it has, and nothing more. That's why I usually buy a console 3 years after its release when it has enough games I want to play (my rule is at least ten games I can play on it, which are not avilable on other console I already have)

This honestly might be my last generation of console gaming. Probably switching to PC after GTA 6.

No. Consoles will be around for a long time. Maybe 20 more years or until Sony,Nintendo and Microsoft decide to step out of the hardware business. All console Companies will be available on an app like Netflix but that not happening anytime soon.

PC people. Forget waiting on generations.

Big time vid

Henceforth, consoles should last 10 years. This gen was obviously rushed. Worse part is during the covid-19 saga. Ps5 pro is scam and people should be smart enough not to fall for it. Devs hasn't even make proper use of these base current gen consoles.

Why do people constantly make these videos? If you look at last year alone, all but one of the GOTY nominees were next gen only. Spider-Man 2, Baldur’s Gate 3 and Alan wake 2 can only be played on next gen systems and PC for example. And more of those games are coming. I know crossgen support lasted longer this gen. But Covid, shortages and slow adoption due to the state of the economy all played roles to why that is

Graphics can only take games so far look at hellblade 2 it’s worse than the first in every way except graphically

Next gen just means pretty with ridiculous disk space requirements. And the best games look like project zombiod.

I’m not buying a lot of these products because the the characters don’t look beautiful and pushing narratives. I don’t want pushed into my space where I do not have politics.

For me personally this has been the most disappointing console generation for a number of reasons. Games are expensive now days costing upwards of £60 and most are unfinished or broken and don’t justify the price. Then you have too many remasters, remakes and cross gen games. Then there’s PlayStation + which is just overpriced for what it offers, especially with the price hike. Then there’s PlayStation releasing there first party games on the PC platform, which for me has devalued the console. Why would I buy a PS5 when I can Wait a year or so and get them on PC.

Here's your answer, they on xbox this Gen.

Lmao like what? 5 hour long Hellblade 2?

Game are expensive. Let's also not forget thanks to the loss of physical games a game can stay costly a ''very long time'' if not forever. Just look at Sekiro that came out in 2019. That shit game still costs today $79.99 Canadian dollars or when on discout $39.99. As for Ghost Of Tsushima (2020 release date) it's gonna cost you $79.99 Canadian dollars or the Directors cut $89.99. Only idiots gonna pay this much. Me, I rather be happy watching NetFlix or read books. To people not happy. Go ahead ruin your life buy purchasing games that costs now at times way over $160.

When Black Ops 6 content?

I’ll be honest the only reason I bought a PS5 was to play the Dead Space Remake and I loved it and then I played Spider-Man 2 which was also great. Rise Of The Ronin looks awesome I still mainly use my PS4, but every once in a while if there’s a new game, that’s not on it, I’ll use the PS5

Both Sony and Microsoft did queue based launches of PS5 & series x from the very first release/preorder, what are you talking about? 2:46. Need to research a little better

I prefer uncharted

let me tell you why i think this generation is lagging...xbox series s. that piece of crap is a joke in the name of next gen. it is hardly more powerful than ps4 pro and it is holding back the devs to fully utilize the capabilities of next gen hardware because if the game is coming to xbox series x then it also has to come on series s which is significantly weaker than xbox series x and playstation 5.

Im only 5 minutes in... even though some people claim that the ps5, and xbox series x of a powerhouse that is getting hold back by the ps4, and xbox one.... i dont think for the most part that is the case, more like bad optimization, as alot of triple A games on the ps5 and xbox series x barely hit native 1440p 30fps, or native 1080p 60fps.. I have 3 Computers. One old, one new, and a handheld. My old pc is about even with the ps5, and even i can push out a higher resolution, and framerate than the ps5... I leget could ply cyberpunk 2077 at 4k 60fps on the computer... while the ps5 for some reason struggles to hit 30fps on qualty mode. Because if it runs say at 1080p 30fps on the base ps4, than why cant it run at least native 4k 30fps, or native 1440p 60fps? The ps5 out classes the ps4 by so much, but yet alot of games run terribly on the ps5, and xbox series X

That is why you need to move to PC and leave these childish overpriced toasters behind.
