Already? Before even the 5th game launched?
I only got a ps5 two years ago and I’m set with games for years. I’m still working through PS4 games I never got round to. The idea of a new playstation at this point, particularly after the chip shortage debacle, seems absolutely absurd.
the ps5 just came out, what do you mean
Even if I was in the market the way they manufacturer & sell them you won’t get one for list price for the first year or two
It seems soon because it feels like barely anything came out in terms of exclusives for the PS5. Naughty Dog didn’t even come out with anything that wasn’t a remake.
The best situation for consumers is for games to come out on as many platforms as possible. Exclusives are cancer. It’s awesome to see less and less of them every generation.
Well for me Sony exclusive means Sony produced games, and they’ve just not released in that department. I’m PC now so its not exclusive for me anyways, but it does matter for console players choosing between Sony or Xbox. And Sony has really under delivered this gen with games from them.
Didn’t Microsoft buy up a shitton of studios- killing some of them? I wouldn’t consider exclusives a good indicator of health necessarily.
That’s been the only selling point of consoles for me. They mostly all come out on the PC now so more an observation of how Sony’s releases this gen has been really lackluster compared to previous gens.
Too early. It doesn’t even feel like the current generation has really established. Just got the PS5 Pro, and don’t think it’s such a big improvement over the base model. PS6? - na thanks!
Not that the PS5 was a major upgrade to the PS4. Sure it can produce some better graphics, but the UI is such a downgrade.
I’ll never understand why they made an option to silence the beep at startup, but they push the boot up and login music through the TV when headphones are connected to a controller. That’s so much more annoying and last so much longer when you’re trying not to disturb other people in the room.
You can change the default audio device through settings. I set mine to headphones, so it just starts through it, and if I needed to switch, i do it through the menu.
I have it set to automatically change to headphones when they’re plugged in and for all audio to go through headphones when they’re plugged in, however the startup music and log in screen music still play through the TV. After logging into a profile, it’ll switch over to headphones for all audio.
I’ve even left my headphones plugged into the controller after manually choosing headphones for all audio and then turning the PS5 off and on again and it pushes startup and login screen music through the TV.
Nothing is better than the xmb on ps3. I hate the new UIs.
Big mistake. They barely have games for the current gen.
Better bet your ass that Copilot will be on whatever M$ decides to push out.
Too soon. I still haven’t got a PS5 yet.
But why? They are barely supporting the current hardware.
investors want new product. lack of new product is ‘stagnation’.
Gotta get those stock buybacks to raise the “value”!
whenever i buy a new game i tell myself I’m investing in myself.
I’m guessing the cash cow needs some milking. Especially with new lucrative technology lurking around the corner. “Milk before it’s overdue”
So… The PS5 pro lasted for a while huh.
Three years or so.
Only 1 less year than the ps4 pro. It’s not really that bad. I don’t own it, but I don’t mind that it exists. If it was cheaper and I had a better tv that took advantage of its features, maybe I would have swapped for it.
And then not release a single game built for or exclusive to it until 2035. Hard pass.
They should release consoles when there’s a significant leap in hardware that devs are waiting to take advantage of. The last few console releases have been boring. Don’t get me started on not only the lack of games but the lack of new types of games. Too many remakes and remasters demanding high prices.
We’ve got tons of new types of games that have emerged over the years, but they sprout up at different levels of system requirements. The games that need the new hardware are the ones with the largest development budgets.
I think I’ve turned my PS5 on maybe 30 times since I got it. They just hasn’t been anything released for it that I’ve been interested in basically it’s not been anything released for it.
I bought a 3070 and a pair of 1440 gaming monitors, maybe $1000 total, and I feel like an asshole not having time to play my favorite games.
Mine has seen some use… but its nowhere near what I was expecting when I bought it. I own it for the exclusives and while I did enjoy them (GT7, Ragnarok, Spider Man 2, Astro Bot, Death Stranding 2), I also think I could have done without them and waited for the eventual PC release. I hope Intergalactic (Naughty Dog) remedies my feeling towards the console, but so far, nothing it’s seen has been generation defining.
Most probably skipping consoles after this gen.Ghost of Yotei has been a banger so far. Otherwise, I haven’t even plugged it in for over 2 years.
At this point I‘m going to assume they‘ll both essentially be handheld PCs. It‘s the only device I could even imagine a market for in 2 years.
