If this is true I’m definitely out. I am barely playing anything technically demanding on the hardware. Mostly older or indie games. The Steam Deck has proven that handheld PC couch gaming is more than enough for me.

Come to think of it, I didn’t even had to buy the PS5. It just catches dust and unlike the PS4 I didn’t get anything like Bloodborne aka something I could pump countless hundreds of hours in to justify buying it.

Are we already talking about next gen leaks? Damn, this generation passed by and I barely noticed it.

[–] tane69@lemmy.world 17 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

That’s because there are barely any fucking games this gen it feels like

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 hours ago

What are you talking about? There's a new remake or remaster every other day!

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I've been watching from the sidelines and still haven't seen anything that moves the needle sufficiently.

Where are the games?!

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

They all take seven years to make, so there aren't as many of them.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Unfortunately they're not significantly more fun despite that.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 points 59 minutes ago (1 children)

There have been some great games with development times that long. But for crying out loud, if you're not making a surefire success, make a smaller game so it's less risky.

There have been some great games with development times that long.

Can you name some? I don't mean to be derisive, I just literally can't think of any right now.

[–] llii@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yeah. The PS2 got three GTAs, GTA V got three consoles.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 2 points 56 minutes ago

I take this as a comparison sometimes. Also the PS2 got five GTAs, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories were released on PS2 too. The PS3 and Xbox 360 got two GTAs, and everything after got remasters. PS5 will probably get GTA 6, so GTA skipped the PS4/Xbox One generation.

if you're not really there for it then sure, but i got a ps5 for ff7 remake, kh3 and ff16 and i personally think I got my money's worth. loved every goddamn second.

it helped that I got p5r and expedition 33 as well, what a beaut of a bonus they were

[–] vividspecter@aussie.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

They might mean exclusives, of which none of those apply. But I personally don't think exclusives are a good thing anyway.

Become a PC gamer and you don't experience "generations" anymore.

[–] Aielman15@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I am. I grew up with the PS1 and I really liked the simplicity, ease of use, affordability and reliability of older gens, but the newer ones seem to have all the cons of consoles and none of the benefits.

[–] troed@fedia.io 1 points 2 hours ago

Same here, although even earlier. As a family of five Sony's horribly bad game sharing within the family if you have more than one PS5 (we do) has sealed the deal for us. I've just built up two Bazzite-based Steamboxes and that's going to be our couchgaming from now on.

No PS6.

[–] EvilEdgelord@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

I grew up with cartridges, so this is hilarious to me. With PS1, you had to put in a disc, close the lid, press the power button, wait for the logo startup sequence, then your game would start (assuming there's not some kind of problem that kicks you back to the disc/memory card screen). Don't even get me started on disc damage 😂

Now I'm a PC gamer with a humongous digital collection. Nothing gets damaged, and I get to keep all my games.

One double-click, and I'm gaming.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 1 points 59 minutes ago

Same. At least for me part of the problem is that I got a PS5 two years after release because I couldn't get one, I'm not going to pay scalpers.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 points 57 minutes ago

I don't see how this thing possibly competes with a handheld PC. It'll play the same games approximately just as well but with a tiny fraction of the library, and unless something changes, online play won't even be free.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Ps5 has the same amount of games as switch 2
