Remastering PS4 games is absolutely crazy to me! I’m all for remastering retro games to make them available on modern hardware but man, PS4/Xbox One? Crazy
I'm not so into remasters or hd versions when companies feel entitled to ask almost for full price by doing the bare minimum. The Castlevania Dominus collection tho is a perfect example of how to do things. Reasonably priced, great improvements and quality of life features. Sadly many of those remasters come mainly for the switch and as we know we always have to pay the "Nintendo Tax".
Yeah, agreed sonic X Shadow generations or Silent Hill 2 are perfect examples of games to remaster and put on modern platforms, not the last of us part 2 or Horizon zero Dawn
I mean games take like 10 years to develop, and these companies push out these consoles like they’re hot bread, people buy them for inflated prices only to realize there’s no games for it Why bother making consoles if there’s no games for them, a lot of players myself included prefer to play old games, people enjoy a game that’s FUN and not HYPER REALISTIC This BS concept of Every game has to be 4K HD and all is the reason why the industry is failing and why Nintendo is actually winning They focus on fun games that everyone can enjoy and not HYPER REALISTIC graphics The PS2 had so many games because they focused on fun and decent graphics rather than HD 4K, PS5 has only 4 games cause companies rather waste money on Graphics and not fun
As a Nintendo fan I can say it's not really about the graphics, but more so it just works for them. They think the High Fidelity games aren't very sustainable to produce, so they just make fun games instead. Whereas we see these other Studios and Publishers push out these high Fidelity games with High Poly models and Animations. Which just add to the games storage size therefore need a lot of storage from whatever you're using. Nintendo doesn't have that problem. I have, like, 20+ Nintendo Games installed on my OLED and they all fit on my MicroSD card. The only ones that take a lot of space are the third party games the third party devs just barely ported to the console which are compressed kinda okay/awfully.
Tbf, PS2 games were very realistic for their time. So pretty graphics have always been a selling point. Saying they weren't is a bit of revisionist history. It's not that graphics aren't important. It's that we're getting to the point where the metaphorical juice isn't worth the squeeze when it comes to graphical fidelity. Personally, I'd rather have late PS3 era graphics if that means games can come out in three to five years vs. eight.
Stopped at ps4 and Switch. Backlog is huge anyway. And getting the new gen, while it won't add to that backlog, it would be a big waste of money. I'd rather buy retro when I can.
I almost bought a PS5 last year but once I saw what the Steam Deck could do, I opted for that instead. I even sold my Switch to get one and it was the best move I ever made. Now I feel I can play almost anything lol. I got all the old gen consoles on there, Switch games, and modern games. Thank god I didn't get a PS5 lol.
Why tf do console players get salty when a game comes to PC?!?? Pc players are in an entirely different dimension, some pc players are hardly even aware or care about consoles. Its not like they're rushing out to buy every new console/games. It doesn't even hurt sales of xbox or Sony... I will never understand.
except they do run out to buy new graphics cards, cooling solution either being fans, cooling paste, or liquid cooling. and back in the day it also include sound cards back in the day. what do you think consoles are modeling their audiences from. cause to a lot of pc's users it is all about the graphics. do i need to mention crysis.
@@ThomasKrogh-y6i You are exaggerating. While there are certainly people who buy new graphics cards as soon as they come out, most people only buy upgrades when the games they want to play don't run as well enough as they'd like. Back in 2017 I had a GTX 760 (which I had since 2013) and upgraded to a 1060 to run DOOM at 1080p and 60 fps. I used that card until 2022 when I upgraded it to a 3070 not because I wanted better graphics, but because I simply had money to burn. Last year I upgraded again to 3090 for the same reason, and because I wanted to try running AI models locally. If consoles were modelling themselves after PCs, then you should have the option of buying anything between a PS1 and a PS5 and all that would go into that decision is how much you're willing to spend and how good you want the games to look. On PC you aren't forced into an upgrade cycle to keep playing newer games due to arbitrary software compatibility nonsense. You just upgrade when you can and when you want, and nothing stops you from playing any given game, as long as it runs at all. Finally, not sure what you want to say about Crysis. Crysis was a good FPS that remained a useful hardware benchmark for a long time due to how difficult it was to run at a high enough framerate in hardware of the time. What point do you think you're making by bringing it up?
@@450AHX you purposely inquire cooling solutions and back in the day sound cards portion. and the longest time pc gamers tout that their pc's was more powerful then consoles. the game that embodiment sentiment is can your pc play crysis. and lets circle back to sound cards. before the focus of pc killing graphics it was all about best sounding games. which the sound cards manufacture pushed keeping up with the joneses mentally. which that transferred to graphics.
Yeah it's funny when I see this since for years I've seen so many PC gamer youtubers complain about how exclusives on consoles is ruining the industry BulletBarry comes to mind about this since he actually made a video on how console exclusives being less of a thing in recent times is a good thing which apparently console gamers don't agree with that view
I think the console exclusive is almost dead outside of Nintendo and arguably we started going down that path with the first Xbox, which was the most "PC like" console in its time. Consoles will still be made but not for exclusives, more as standardized hardware that game developers can target for more straight forward builds, and sold to people who are less inclined to build or buy PCs. The console companies still have a ton of money to have custom hardware developed and this hardware just will serve as an alternate outlet for their games service.
Remember when there used to be 3 Mainline Mario games in one console Gen???? I do, it was the NES and back then we thought this was gonna be a standard for Console Gaming back in the 90s.
I freaking love my Nintendo Switch. It might be underpowered, but at least there's a steady stream of stuff to play on it. There's rarely a week that goes by without SOMETHING interesting on the eshop, even if it's something small like an Arcade Archives port.
PS1, PS2,Gamecube and Snes has so many iconic games,that are still so fun to play even today. I play on emulators and didn't play new games since. Last new game i played is Elden Ring.
But every GOTY contender this year can only be played on a PS5 console. FF7 Rebirth, Astrobot, Black myth Wukong, Silent Hill 2, Stellar Blade. They’re getting a steady stream of games. Never really understood this joke tbh. The PS5 has always had good exclusives. Especially compared to Xbox
@@ThomatoSauce your pathetic reply was predictable. It’s either the games will go to PC, or they’re bad, or movie games or whatever. What’s the next one?
@@ThomatoSauce I honestly think bro just forgot that PC exists for a second there, tbh. PC/Switch person here, very likely to continue PC/Nintendo for the most coverage moving forward unless there's a drastic shift in the market. Looking at the games listed; two of those are on PC already, one has announced PC port in the works, one has an unannounced PC port in the works (and the fact SE is leaning away from exclusives in general should be a telling sign for the future). Only downside is a bit of an extra wait, but when you don't have a closed garden platform your potential library expands to most games ever released. Makes that wait considerably easier if one is ever hyped for something. So...yeah. One out of the five games looks to remain exclusive. Astrobot looks sick, but given the controller implementation and theming it makes perfect sense why it's staying there. It's easy to see why people ain't exactly hyped for Sony as a company lately factoring in the price jacking, lack of exclusives, and various controversies. I desperately want to care like I did back in the previous generations but I just don't, not for a lack of trying. If you like your box; hey, cool! Video games are meant to be fun. If you like your box so much that you lash out whenever someone counters a point though you may want to not make a brand your personality and instead put whatever money you were setting aside for a company's next release toward therapy.
I have a Switch and a "friend" bought me Final Fantasy 7 remake and Baldur's Gate 3 for the PC, but my PC is just barely too weak to run those, and the "friend" is angry that I'm not running out to spend 400 dollars on a new CPU, graphics-card, and RAM to play those games, and I'm still playing my Switch with actual friends who want to play Switch games with me. I really don't care to rush out to spend a console's worth of money to upgrade my PC to play 2 games, when I've got 20 games on my Switch backlog which cost NO extra money for me to play them. Even games people said would never come to it are being made for it anyway, like Yakuza, Witcher and DOOM.
I'm in my late 40's and it was getting to expensive for me. I still have my xbox 360 and a switch is the only newer thing I have with a handful of games. Granted elden ring is really the only game I really want to play but I'm willing to let go and just play older games.
36 here and I almost bought a PS5, but once I saw that Steam Deck could emulate PS2, that was it for me. I even sold my Switch to get one and it was the best move I ever made. Now I have all the old gen consoles on there up to PS3, Switch games, and modern games. Hell, I even put Windows 98 SE on there so I could play games from when I was like 8 years old haha. Can't do that with a PS5! 😂 Oh, and I have Elden Ring on there too 😉
@@Tenacityfromtheglass especially now that I just found out there’s Japanese games that i never got to play because you need a Japanese console to play them so I’ve got like a thousand games to go before I can tell people I played them all
This is where I've been for years. Outside of Baldur's Gate 3, pretty much every game in my library is at least 9 years old. Well, outside of a few games from smaller studios like Owlcat. Between older games on Steam, and emulation, I can game for the rest of my life and never touch another AAA game.
@@seanwilliams7655 the last modern game I played that I enjoyed was Resident evil 2 remake I never played the original one so it’s hard for me to sit here and say it was a good remake. But I enjoyed it I thought it was pretty good. I haven’t played Baldur gate 3 but ima give it a try. I’m currently playing KOTOR (I never got to play it as a kid because I owned a PlayStation) but I’m having a blast rn it’s soo fun
Untrue. Only a small number of third party games are locked behind the paywall. All of the first party stuff can be purchased separately, and they can be downloaded at no extra charge if you already purchased them on PS3/PSP/PS Vita.
To be honest all games should release for PC and receive native ports for their exclusive consoles. The problem is these companies do not give a damn about their consumers. They don't see their consoles as an alternative way to experience something, they see it as the ONLY way to experience it. I can't imagine myself, as an indie developer, wanting to isolate my game to a specific market without very good reason. I already do not wish to sell games on any subscription service because it will tank my sales and brand reach. I don't want to sell on sony consoles at all because they censor games for literally no reason, and have been doing stupid shit against the PC market. I want to be able to sell my games in as many places as possible to have as much reach as possible, but these companies don't care for developers either. It doesn't make sense for a game developer to want their game on one specific console because it bricks their capability to expand their brand and the sales themselves. The only benefactor for exclusivity are the console companies. It's why they fund games in the first place. Epic games, which is another storefront I want nothing to do with, does this shit too. What's more important to me as a dev is being able to give my consumers the best possible experience, since it is literally basic business practice ideology.
Respectfully, this is just a little short-sighted. Each console manufacturer has both built and supported/published certain games and genres, and has therefore formed certain audiences in turn; exclusivity plays a certain role in that too. JRPGs, visual novels and platformers, as well as more experimental titles and spinoffs (ex. light-gun/on-rail shooter games, touch-screen/motion-controlled games, etc.) have historically done pretty well on Nintendo platforms. The same can't be said for Xbox, which AFAIK mostly supports sports games, shooters and is overall a lot more centered around party chat and multiplayer. The Vita was a fairly neglected console first-party wise for a while there, so the existing player base was incredibly supportive of indies and third-party games that made it, fostering a thriving indie scene in the later years. Generally Sony's smaller exclusives and core players tend to support more experimental titles overall too than anyone else (Japan Studio, London Studio, etc.). On Steam, there's no such favoritism as far as I'm aware, apart from search filters and the whims of algorithms, dev-side promotional tools and SEO. If you're an indie dev and a PC gamer I can see why you'd have that mindset, but there are less visible, tangible factors to consider too. Just my 2 cents!
@@vdpt9911 I would question if the market even needs three separate manufacturers of more or less the same sort of product, as they exist today. What good is it to the consumer to have three separate, mutually incompatible computer platforms that are used primarily connected to a TV? Honestly, if it was up to me, I would not allow manufacturers to monopolize hardware platforms. Nintendo should not be the only one producing Switches and Sony should not be the only one producing PlayStations.
@@450AHX Got it. Replace 3 supposedly indistinguishable consoles with many more. Split the audience, already pretty solidified into niches and particular audiences primed towards supporting particular genres and games like in my previous comment, into even more chaos. There is great historical precedent supporting this change: huge growths in the game industry happened in 1977 and 1983 when these ideas were implemented. On a completely unrelated note, "those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it"...
@@vdpt9911 You're agreeing with me. You're saying the console war prior to the video game crash was bad. Well, why was it bad? It's because it there were too many *platforms*. It was something like 10 manufacturers each pushing his own platform and library of games. *That* was the problem. Imagine if instead it had been the same number of manufacturers, but instead competing for market share of a single platform with a single library of games. That's what the PC gaming hardware market looks like today. Well, kind of; there's a couple duopolies. If you think it's better for consumers now that there's only 3 console hardware platforms than when there were 10, then why do you think it would not be better if there was only 1 (with multiple manufacturers)? Why is 3 the optimal number?
@@450AHX I'm pretty sure what you're proposing is just the 3DO (which failed for those reasons), or like you said, just PCs, which is not the point of consoles. People get overwhelmed by choice. The only way PC hardware competes is on price and performance, which narrows choices down, but is purely utilitarian. Consoles compete on price and performance as is, but also on exclusives, extra features, niches and audiences that I mentioned before, common experiences (primarily through exclusives, features and identity, ex. Streetpass/Miiverse vs. PS Home) and brand identity (summing all other factors, also including direction of new features/innovations/franchises). Turning just 3 platforms and libraries into 10 would limit every manufacturer to compete exclusively over price and performance, but ultimately worsen the overall experience through the loss of every other factor. From what I've heard, PC handhelds are just the Steam Deck...and worse copycats of it, not actual competition, features and experiences like with consoles. Hardware would lose innovation due to having to stick to those two factors, let alone having everyone port or even utilize unique gimmicks or hardware innovations when there's too many cheaper options. It's also far too much research for plenty of people to do: a major part of console sales are just parents and kids looking for the next console. Whichever one, likely from the Big 3, pulls most of that audience will spiral any kind of competition that the other 7 have, especially since all they could now compete on is just price and performance. From the 3DO Wikipedia page: "In an interview shortly after The 3DO Company dropped support for the system, Trip Hawkins attributed its failure to the model of licensing all hardware manufacturing and software to third parties. He reasoned that for a console to be a success, it needed a single strong company to take the lead in marketing, hardware, and software, and pointed out that it was essentially a lack of coordination between The 3DO Company, Panasonic, and the 3DO's software developers which had led to the console launching with only one game ready."
Maybe, the whole industry should learn with the Nintendo DS, that thing was so weak but had so much good games. Games got so expensive to do nowadays, developers need to model even strands of hair. I'm thinking about buying a Switch and mod it to emulate a lot of things
If you're gonna buy the og or OLED switch, I would advise to just buy a steam deck. If you are thinking about a switch lite however, I think it's an acceptable choice. The steam deck can even be docked and obviously emulate switch games. Nowadays (sadly) I think the endgame is a decent Pc and either a steam deck or a switch lite. I've never been a Pc gamer but I can't deny reality, consoles nowadays SUCK, and even if the switch 2 turns out to be a good console I don't think it would be worth it anyways.
@@Captain_Neckbeard As the original comment stated, it's not about performance (though I can't deny it's weak. But it's not too bad) It's about the games
Meanwhile, Nintendo is still putting out games on the Switch like hot cakes. Yes, Nintendo started the ninth console generation with the Switch. They started the eighth with the Wii U, while Sony started the sixth with the PS2 and Microsoft the seventh with the 360.
@foxymetroid Well, the Dreamcast was Sega's last console, and everything the Dreamcast did the PS2 did better and then some, so that technically doesn't count.
This video is extremely underrated. Personally, I watched this video in 1.5x speed because I think you talk a little too slow, but other than that, this is a very good quality video. +1 subscriber 👍
Free history lesson for ya: the most powerful system has never won a console generation. Ever. But feel free to keep caring about whether Senua or Aloy have more pores on their face.
The Switch 2 hasn't even been announced yet and we already know that a lot of games are coming. Pokemon legends ZA is a New legends game. Masahiro Sakurai just revealed that he has been working on a new game for a few years now which will probably be Smash 6. of course we're going to get a New 3D Mario and a New Mario kart. Monolith Soft is probably working on something especially after the ending of future redeemed. and we're probably going to get hundreds of third party games in the first and second years of the switch 2
Right now, I own a low-midrange gaming PC and I bought my wife and I both a Switch, that way I can essentially play all the best games I want on the platfrom best suited to play these games.
I'm planning to get a Switch as well, I just want fun games at this point, those hyperrealistic games are starting to be more and more like interactive movies
At most, the PS5 only ever had... two exclusives that interested me. TWO! I have a rule that says a console needs TEN games I can't get otherwise to be worth it! To sate curiosity, those exclusives were the pack-in game, the new Ratchet and Clank (up until it came to Steam), and now the current Astro Bot. It really hurts, because so many of the referenced series in Astro Bot are ones I love... yet NONE of the ones they retain the _ability_ to make exclusive actually have anything done with them!
I've shrugged through two console generations now and don't feel like I've missed out on anything. And them thinking they need MORE power in a console is goofy considering the games that people love the most can run on phones or PCs without dedicated graphics.
Bought a ps5 months ago, spend most of my game time playing Castlevania and megaman collections...... there's been a couple games, mechwarrior 5 clans recently and Final Fantasy 7 rebirth but then System shock and Deadspace remakes lmao
@Tenacityfromtheglass oh yeah. I have all of them. The dominus collection is legit. I've been playing castlevania since the way back on the nes but never had a DS so I'm getting to experience these for the first time and having a blast.
Meanwhile in team Nintendo, fans complain for having too much great games (excluding the shovelwares). Just your typical Nintendo fan problems. PS: I am a Nintendo fanatic
Yeha xbox one x looks great on 1080p screens because of supersampling but paying 700 hundred for the worst PlayStation ever is a no no@@Tenacityfromtheglass
I'm so disappointed with the game industry. They have utterly FAILED at Game Creation. We have lost so many different game genres. Bring back 2D, 2.5D, 3D, low poly PS1 style, cell shaded, you name it. Anything to save us from this drought of creativity within video games. Yes indie games are amazing BUT most indie games are only available on PC thru Steam. So right now indie games don't help the console situation... Hopefully all of that can change. Hopefully sooner than later. I don't want to be 80 years old once video games get better again
The best thing the PS5/XB did this gen was make SSD standardized, it let games be more open and large and we're seeing less of 'door breaches' or shimying through a small path for loading. But all the RTX stuff? Who freaking cares. So many games do cubemap or whatever reflections and it looks really good - without making the game's performance tank to trash. But for some reason now it's REALLY important push RTX in games to the point where (this next part is an assumption) Monster Hunter Wilds is going to need a 4060 to run at 1080p medium settings and needs frame gen to hit 60fps. What happened to the industry's brains???
I get that buying a PC is the best option but I have a ton of PS5 games that I want to play, for example this week Ys X and Romancing SaGa 2. And yes I know there are also PS4 versions which kinda makes getting a PS5 pointless but I don't think like that. Getting a new console is today more like getting a new PC. It just runs better than your older system and from time to time it's fun to upgrade your systems. I'm pretty sure the new Switch console will also have a ton of Switch/Switch2 cross gen games which will kind of make getting the new Switch pointless for a while.
You can also add that to these stupid fans who always knock down the switch for its lack of graphical power, and I’ll tell them the same thing the game boy was underpowered, but look how well it sold
Did he say power was never a selling point? Bro, back in the 90s we used to think more bits were better. Playstation was 32 bit so it was better than the SNES which was 16 bit. The Nintendo 64 was called that specifically BECAUSE it was a 64 bit machine.
treu was always a selling point but no body cares the consumer does not care i play warband dayz fallout new vegas Phantom Dust these games look like shit but still are one of my fav even to this day
Sony's problem is not that they don't release Bloodborne on PC, they just stopped doing anything other than third-person cinematic action games that they develop for 5 years and games of services. Judging by their remasters, they barely cover the development costs. I want to see games like Super Stardust, LocoRoco, Fat Princess, Journey, in my opinion Sony has lost its identity. It seems like they are making one fatal decision after another, I don't know anymore whether PlayStation will have its own console in a generation or whether they will simply switch to game distribution and cloud gaming. As for Xbox, they never grew their own environment, they only absorbed other studios. They literally started by absorbing Sega's hits, their first controller is an exact copy of the Dreamcast gamepad with a second stick. If Sony at least has a philosophy of AAA cinematic games, then Microsoft has nothing at all.
I sold my Xbox Series X (I already had a great gaming laptop though), and instead bought the Switch OLED and the Switch Lite, the OLED is just plugged in, and the Lite is just my portable. I cannot be happier, as there are TONS of games on the Switch that are actually fun (and many uncensored which is important by the way, as Xbox and Sony nannies are just off their rockers these days with censorship). For the PC, I use Steam, GOG, and Itch, and that covers everything I need.
In person, I'm a walking talking dad joke. I like making these videos because I get to let loose. I pretend that I'm in a Discord call with some buddy's
Dont be surprised when gta 6 comes out and consoles sell out, and theres a ton of people buying used consoles. So that they can play it. I mainly bought a console right away so when games come out at the end of this gen i already have a console to play them. Thats why i go for power. Because it will be really annoying when a big game comes out and theres not enough consoles.
I've lost interest in modern day gaming before the PS5 and series x was even announced. The last new systems i purchased was the Switch and Evercade VS. I barely play my ps4 and xbox one these days. I played my switch so much i had to take a long break and I'm almost 2 years behind with latest pickups for it. The Evercade VS is currently my go to gaming system. It takes me back to a simpler time in gaming and I'm discovering a whole bunch of game's i probably never would of played or heard of before. I will say though i strongly disagree with your opinion on exclusives. We need exclusives on every platform. Without exclusives the consoles and handhelds will lack its own unique identify and will most likely reduce sales of certain systems if every game was on every system. Exclusives give me a reason to own or buy a system. Duke nukem zero hour is only available on N64. Therefore it gives me a reason too keep it around.
And activism and political agenda pushed through games kinda ruining them. Corporations now antagonising customers who disagree with them, game flops, they doing the same over and over again. I do not like to being preached and told what and how to think. They are now focusing more on pushing ideology than making games.
@@CarTastic-fv6eo Very well said dude. I agree with everything you said. I boycott any game that pushes this woke ideology onto people. I'm surprised at this point we havnt had another video game crash yet. Just like when Nintendo and Sega resurrected the gaming industry in the mid to late 80s after the first crash. If it happens again. Small indie games with a lower budget will be the ones to keep it afloat. All it takes for me to buy most indie games is if it gets a physical release. I have not bought a new aaa game since last year.
@@nomadlonestar8004 Indie game studios are also infiltrated by them. Look at Subnautica and others. If you do not agree with the mob they will bully you to a submission.
Well for me personally I used to be a really heavy ps2 (when I had one when I was younger) my brother gave me his ps3 when he moved out and I got a ps4 late (I think 2018) and i bought a series x In 2021 but sold it that same year because I was building my first proper gaming pc which I've been using and maining since December 31st 2021, as a used to be huge sony fan and now that I've been only using a pc, keep Playstation games on Playstation, I plan on buying a ps5 soon for ps4 titles and so I can relax and bring it over to my homies place and have a blu-ray/DVD player cause physical is better then digital always. I have a switch oled I bought like 6 months ago (my 1st switch lol a little late ik) i also have a 'new' 3ds xl so I can play all my pokemon games from the ds and 3ds lineup and other games I had growing up, but if i wanted to play any xbox titles I'll just play it on my pc, xbox series x isnt worth it to me, their u.i is boring. The system is boring and the games is bad, the only reason I'd get a series x again is so I can play couch co-op with my buddies on old 360 titles like black ops 2 or whatnot, every other series x title is on pc so I'm good on that console lol
They have plenty of games. The issue is, neither have any NEW games that matter. For the next gen, whatever that may mean, I would honestly just prefer to see old games remade, sticking to the original release format of said game. Example, Dead Space Remake.....Pheonomenal. Don't add a BS online store, keep multiplayer the way it was or simple, include the whole game at launch and in working order. ALOT less Halo Infinite and more like Halo 2 remade with the updated visuals and mechanics. Why I tend to stick with indies, older games or play stuff like Doom 2016 and Eternal. They don't feel like a job to play, they're FUN, and Look amazing! Can't wait for Switch 2 and the next Doom! Here's to slightly above mediocre quality gaming experiences in the near future!
I actually don't mind exclusives but the systems need to be less expensive, have a lot of great exclusives like Nintendo does, instead of having 1 or 2 then a bunch of the same games.
As graphics get better, each newer generation becomes more incremental. PS6 will barely look better than a PS5 Pro. We will never see a jump like we did with 4th -> 5th and 5th -> 6th generation consoles ever again. As for the endless remakes, remasters, and remixes, blame the lazy publishers who refuse to gamble on new IP's, instead playing it safe with yearly iterations of Call of Duty and Fifa cos games are very time consuming and expensive to develop for nowadays. There is a massive dearth of creativity and innovation in the media industry cos films, TV and music are suffering the same plight of remakes and remasters too. Yawn. That said, retro gaming is getting bigger and bigger cos modern gaming sucks. DLC, yearly subscriptions, battle passes, microtransations, huge game installs, lengthy patches, buggy rushed unfinished games. It is hardly any wonder that people are turning back to the older golden console generations. I fired up Burnout 3 last night with PCSX2 with upscaled resolution, 16x anisotropic, anti-blur etc. It looked and played fantastic! Who needs modern games when there are thousands of older games to explore that you can vastly improve the look of. (the PS2 has a library of over 4000 games, the PSX has even more and is easy to upscale to 4K)
This Generation is definitely not very sustainable for big publishers right now. I don't care about Playstation or Xbox because most of their stuff seems like I don't really own anything or its all just predatory microtransaction-ish noise. but Nintendo is really killing it with the switch. I've had mine since launch and there were so many great games on this dinky little thing, plus I upgraded to an OLED (It didn't really do anything but the OLED screen is nice) Nintendo is doing their own thing and it's really working for them
I want good 2d games to go with 3d games. I still play SNES and Genesis. Fun games will always be more important than graphics for me. Plus physical media would be nice. Don't want to get away from that.
Steam Deck is the best gaming device I've ever owned. I feel like I can play almost anything on there. If they come out with a Steam Deck 2 OLED, that might just be my final gaming device. 😂
Sure there's cool games on switch, but there's better exclusives on pc, get the steam deck or asus rog ally instead. No point in switch nowadays tbh. All 3 of the mainstream consoles are actually pointless unless you want to play smash or mariokart.
As a Nintendo fan. I just want to say there are way more great games to play besides just Smash and Mario Kart. SMB Wonder is the most inventive platformer in the Mario series in years, and it genuinely feels like a refresh of the NSMB series. Has great music and Level design Ideas, Animations. Overall the game is a great time. Splatoon is probably one of the best 3rd Person Shooters I've played period. It can get frustrating at times but all games are like that and its genuinely fun and probably the most creative and inventive Nintendo Game ever. Metroid is also great if you like Metroidvanias. The Xenoblade Chronicles series tell Amazing stories with the video game medium and also has great music. The Switch has games too y'know, you just had to look for them.
Nintendo hard carried the 9th generation, I am fully ready to see them hard carry the 10th generation too unless they pull that WiiU stunt again where they have a great console marketed so poorly that some people STILL don't realize it even existed. Like dang, scientists shouldn't study the secrets of life and the universe, they should be studying the secret of how Nintendo's marketing team screwed up so bad when they did a legendary job marketing the Wii just one generation before that point!
Let's be honest. Sony is having a hard time confirming their existence and; hot take, Xbox just sucks. Solution? Get rid of Xbox and Sony; at least nothing knew from them, and just stick with Steam and Nintendo. If you care about realism and indi games Steam. If you care about games, Nintendo. If you're a serious gamer BOTH. Problem solved.😌
it's because they aren't game developers the way nintendo is...nintendo is a kids' toy company who made video games as toys for kids....sony and xbox are just businesses who will try to make a profit in any industry market space...there's little comparison between nintendo, sony, and xbox when talking about them as game developers...
@@My_Old_YT_Account microsoft game development history almost isn't comparable in any way to nintendo - look at nintendo 1st party game dev history - then look at their 3rd party dev history - then look at their publishing history - then look at those 3 aspects of microsoft - nintendo is world class, ms on the other hand would have gone out of business as a game developer and publisher many times if it wasn't for their 'windows' war-chest. they are a software company who saw dollar signs in video gaming and hardware and have been trying to buy their way in for decades. and sony...💀
If anything, pc prices are absurd. The average person/kid/present max allowance might have maybe a few hundred quid to put towards playing games. Only absolute spoilt nerds would spend thousands on a pc. The rest of the world simply not gona bother. We almost at that point with consoles aswell. 400 and 60 for a game was pushing it. 700....naa. a lot of people are just gina check out and dust off the 360 i reckon.
Im a near solely PS player, got a 360, One and SX but i only bought the SX because my One S was absolutely abysmally underpowered and hated running games.. i literlaly not got a single series x game and im not willing to count Horizon 5 as an exclusive. Its also a very depressingly boring game. The last great Horizon was 2! As for Playstation my ps5 library is tiny in comparison to my PS4 collection.. i gotna day 1 launch pre order excited for the next gen of gaming and now we have Woke DEI ruined games that under perform and under deliver and they release them on PS4 anyway so why did i buy a PS5? My ps4 runs games just fine and holds up far better than an Xbox One.
Its mad that in the PS2 era we had GTA III GTA Vice City GTA San Andreas in the less time then it actually has taken Rockstar to make GTA VI. Two God of War games Two Metal Gear Solid games. Its annoys me the dev time and bloat. Its ridiculous!
Anything after 7th gen was pointless the ps4 was basically just a ps3 that couldn't play the older games people say it was improvement graphically but literally the games look the same till the very end of the generation and considering it was still only 1080p on the base ps4 it could have been done on a ps3, the ps5 and series x are what should've been our 8th gen systems but its a little to late for anyone to care because all the current gen games are on pc or on the last generation hardware and if you want a console you should just buy a steamdeck like personally only games I've seen that can't run the same as on consoles are the pvp games which Idc about pvp games just want to nickle and dime you and have no substance to them I get bored after like 20mins vs I can sit down and play rpgs, platformers, and strategy games all day long my favorite thing about a steamdeck is being able to play the tons of card games that will never be on consoles
The game in the video is called "Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom"
@@Tenacityfromtheglass that title hahHaha
Remastering PS4 games is absolutely crazy to me! I’m all for remastering retro games to make them available on modern hardware but man, PS4/Xbox One? Crazy
There are more remasters of "the last of us" games than actual entries in "the last of us" that was my wtf moment
@@Tenacityfromtheglass you’re so right 😂
I'm not so into remasters or hd versions when companies feel entitled to ask almost for full price by doing the bare minimum. The Castlevania Dominus collection tho is a perfect example of how to do things. Reasonably priced, great improvements and quality of life features. Sadly many of those remasters come mainly for the switch and as we know we always have to pay the "Nintendo Tax".
That is actually absurd. Especially when the original game isn't even that old to warrant a remaster
Yeah, agreed sonic X Shadow generations or Silent Hill 2 are perfect examples of games to remaster and put on modern platforms, not the last of us part 2 or Horizon zero Dawn
But dude don't you want to buy a $700 PS5 console so you can play PS4 remasters of PS3 games!
😢
Which ps3 games are you referring to?
idk about yall, but the ps2 has never seen the closet
We had real varity, then. Most games these days are copy/paste.
The PS2 was so crazy, it's super hard to pick "Top 10 Games" of any genre because there are always more than 10 that must have to be included.
I actually have a PS2 in my closet right now.
The 3ds is starting to get out of my closet nowadays. It’s kinda peak now and i miss actual handhelds in this day and age
Buying a Retrotink upscaler for the PS2 was a much better purchase than a new xbox for me.
I mean games take like 10 years to develop, and these companies push out these consoles like they’re hot bread, people buy them for inflated prices only to realize there’s no games for it
Why bother making consoles if there’s no games for them, a lot of players myself included prefer to play old games, people enjoy a game that’s FUN and not HYPER REALISTIC
This BS concept of Every game has to be 4K HD and all is the reason why the industry is failing and why Nintendo is actually winning
They focus on fun games that everyone can enjoy and not HYPER REALISTIC graphics
The PS2 had so many games because they focused on fun and decent graphics rather than HD 4K, PS5 has only 4 games cause companies rather waste money on Graphics and not fun
As a Nintendo fan I can say it's not really about the graphics, but more so it just works for them. They think the High Fidelity games aren't very sustainable to produce, so they just make fun games instead. Whereas we see these other Studios and Publishers push out these high Fidelity games with High Poly models and Animations. Which just add to the games storage size therefore need a lot of storage from whatever you're using. Nintendo doesn't have that problem. I have, like, 20+ Nintendo Games installed on my OLED and they all fit on my MicroSD card. The only ones that take a lot of space are the third party games the third party devs just barely ported to the console which are compressed kinda okay/awfully.
Tbf, PS2 games were very realistic for their time. So pretty graphics have always been a selling point. Saying they weren't is a bit of revisionist history. It's not that graphics aren't important. It's that we're getting to the point where the metaphorical juice isn't worth the squeeze when it comes to graphical fidelity. Personally, I'd rather have late PS3 era graphics if that means games can come out in three to five years vs. eight.
Stopped at ps4 and Switch. Backlog is huge anyway. And getting the new gen, while it won't add to that backlog, it would be a big waste of money. I'd rather buy retro when I can.
The generation was a wake up call for me. I wish I would've been smart and stopped where you stopped at
I regret buying a switch.
I almost bought a PS5 last year but once I saw what the Steam Deck could do, I opted for that instead. I even sold my Switch to get one and it was the best move I ever made. Now I feel I can play almost anything lol. I got all the old gen consoles on there, Switch games, and modern games. Thank god I didn't get a PS5 lol.
Why tf do console players get salty when a game comes to PC?!?? Pc players are in an entirely different dimension, some pc players are hardly even aware or care about consoles. Its not like they're rushing out to buy every new console/games. It doesn't even hurt sales of xbox or Sony... I will never understand.
except they do run out to buy new graphics cards, cooling solution either being fans, cooling paste, or liquid cooling. and back in the day it also include sound cards back in the day. what do you think consoles are modeling their audiences from. cause to a lot of pc's users it is all about the graphics. do i need to mention crysis.
@@ThomasKrogh-y6i You are exaggerating. While there are certainly people who buy new graphics cards as soon as they come out, most people only buy upgrades when the games they want to play don't run as well enough as they'd like. Back in 2017 I had a GTX 760 (which I had since 2013) and upgraded to a 1060 to run DOOM at 1080p and 60 fps. I used that card until 2022 when I upgraded it to a 3070 not because I wanted better graphics, but because I simply had money to burn. Last year I upgraded again to 3090 for the same reason, and because I wanted to try running AI models locally.
If consoles were modelling themselves after PCs, then you should have the option of buying anything between a PS1 and a PS5 and all that would go into that decision is how much you're willing to spend and how good you want the games to look. On PC you aren't forced into an upgrade cycle to keep playing newer games due to arbitrary software compatibility nonsense. You just upgrade when you can and when you want, and nothing stops you from playing any given game, as long as it runs at all.
Finally, not sure what you want to say about Crysis. Crysis was a good FPS that remained a useful hardware benchmark for a long time due to how difficult it was to run at a high enough framerate in hardware of the time. What point do you think you're making by bringing it up?
@@450AHX you purposely inquire cooling solutions and back in the day sound cards portion. and the longest time pc gamers tout that their pc's was more powerful then consoles. the game that embodiment sentiment is can your pc play crysis. and lets circle back to sound cards. before the focus of pc killing graphics it was all about best sounding games. which the sound cards manufacture pushed keeping up with the joneses mentally. which that transferred to graphics.
Yeah it's funny when I see this since for years I've seen so many PC gamer youtubers complain about how exclusives on consoles is ruining the industry BulletBarry comes to mind about this since he actually made a video on how console exclusives being less of a thing in recent times is a good thing which apparently console gamers don't agree with that view
I think the console exclusive is almost dead outside of Nintendo and arguably we started going down that path with the first Xbox, which was the most "PC like" console in its time. Consoles will still be made but not for exclusives, more as standardized hardware that game developers can target for more straight forward builds, and sold to people who are less inclined to build or buy PCs. The console companies still have a ton of money to have custom hardware developed and this hardware just will serve as an alternate outlet for their games service.
That's okay Im on Nintendo. Im good.
same lol
The fact that Xbox now owns Crash and Spyro, and will probably just sit on them doing nothing with those IP's, is criminal. 😔
When the head of Xbox marketing said nobody cares about Banjo-Kazooie, I just about lost my shit! It is criminal that they sit on these IP's
Bro..im shure if X BOX put out a Crah or Spyro Game it will be more disnusting...then when they just sitting in the IP...just look at Halo 😂😂😂
Remember when there used to be 3 Mainline Mario games in one console Gen????
I do, it was the NES and back then we thought this was gonna be a standard for Console Gaming back in the 90s.
I freaking love my Nintendo Switch. It might be underpowered, but at least there's a steady stream of stuff to play on it. There's rarely a week that goes by without SOMETHING interesting on the eshop, even if it's something small like an Arcade Archives port.
PS1, PS2,Gamecube and Snes has so many iconic games,that are still so fun to play even today. I play on emulators and didn't play new games since. Last new game i played is Elden Ring.
Memorie broken, the truth goes unspoken, THE PLAYSTATION 5 HAS NO GAAAAAAAMES!
But every GOTY contender this year can only be played on a PS5 console. FF7 Rebirth, Astrobot, Black myth Wukong, Silent Hill 2, Stellar Blade. They’re getting a steady stream of games. Never really understood this joke tbh. The PS5 has always had good exclusives. Especially compared to Xbox
Both Wukong and SH2 are playable on PC, and Stellar Blade has a PC port in the works. Try again.
@@ThomatoSauce your pathetic reply was predictable. It’s either the games will go to PC, or they’re bad, or movie games or whatever. What’s the next one?
Pathetic? I’m just stating the obvious. The second you throw petty insults, you basically admit that you don’t have any kind of good rebuttal.
@@ThomatoSauce I honestly think bro just forgot that PC exists for a second there, tbh.
PC/Switch person here, very likely to continue PC/Nintendo for the most coverage moving forward unless there's a drastic shift in the market. Looking at the games listed; two of those are on PC already, one has announced PC port in the works, one has an unannounced PC port in the works (and the fact SE is leaning away from exclusives in general should be a telling sign for the future). Only downside is a bit of an extra wait, but when you don't have a closed garden platform your potential library expands to most games ever released. Makes that wait considerably easier if one is ever hyped for something.
So...yeah. One out of the five games looks to remain exclusive. Astrobot looks sick, but given the controller implementation and theming it makes perfect sense why it's staying there. It's easy to see why people ain't exactly hyped for Sony as a company lately factoring in the price jacking, lack of exclusives, and various controversies. I desperately want to care like I did back in the previous generations but I just don't, not for a lack of trying.
If you like your box; hey, cool! Video games are meant to be fun. If you like your box so much that you lash out whenever someone counters a point though you may want to not make a brand your personality and instead put whatever money you were setting aside for a company's next release toward therapy.
I have a Switch and a "friend" bought me Final Fantasy 7 remake and Baldur's Gate 3 for the PC, but my PC is just barely too weak to run those, and the "friend" is angry that I'm not running out to spend 400 dollars on a new CPU, graphics-card, and RAM to play those games, and I'm still playing my Switch with actual friends who want to play Switch games with me.
I really don't care to rush out to spend a console's worth of money to upgrade my PC to play 2 games, when I've got 20 games on my Switch backlog which cost NO extra money for me to play them. Even games people said would never come to it are being made for it anyway, like Yakuza, Witcher and DOOM.
I audibly lol’d at the banjo joke. Well done sir.
They won't, but if they did, "Shut up and take my money, Xbox!" 😂
@@Tenacityfromtheglass I want a new banjo game so bad.
I'm in my late 40's and it was getting to expensive for me. I still have my xbox 360 and a switch is the only newer thing I have with a handful of games. Granted elden ring is really the only game I really want to play but I'm willing to let go and just play older games.
36 here and I almost bought a PS5, but once I saw that Steam Deck could emulate PS2, that was it for me. I even sold my Switch to get one and it was the best move I ever made. Now I have all the old gen consoles on there up to PS3, Switch games, and modern games. Hell, I even put Windows 98 SE on there so I could play games from when I was like 8 years old haha. Can't do that with a PS5! 😂
Oh, and I have Elden Ring on there too 😉
I use my PS5 to watch Crunchyroll. My Switch gets my love since it has you know, games.
I just play old games now (mostly 6th gen) especially the ones I never got to play growing up and trust me there’s a bunch it never ends 😂
Just the ps2 alone. My god!
@@Tenacityfromtheglass especially now that I just found out there’s Japanese games that i never got to play because you need a Japanese console to play them so I’ve got like a thousand games to go before I can tell people I played them all
This is where I've been for years. Outside of Baldur's Gate 3, pretty much every game in my library is at least 9 years old. Well, outside of a few games from smaller studios like Owlcat. Between older games on Steam, and emulation, I can game for the rest of my life and never touch another AAA game.
@@seanwilliams7655 the last modern game I played that I enjoyed was Resident evil 2 remake I never played the original one so it’s hard for me to sit here and say it was a good remake. But I enjoyed it I thought it was pretty good. I haven’t played Baldur gate 3 but ima give it a try. I’m currently playing KOTOR (I never got to play it as a kid because I owned a PlayStation) but I’m having a blast rn it’s soo fun
It's sad that the most exciting thing we got this generation on PS5 was some PS1 games being re-released and locked behing a $160/year paywall
Untrue. Only a small number of third party games are locked behind the paywall. All of the first party stuff can be purchased separately, and they can be downloaded at no extra charge if you already purchased them on PS3/PSP/PS Vita.
@@dapperfan44 pretty sure he's talking about FF7 Rebirth
RE1 Director's Cut and now Dino Crisis locked behind Premium Plus sucks. Wth Capcom.
Holy smokes, im 2 minutes in, and you brought up so many good points ! Gg
Yet there are games stuck on the cursed ps3 cell architecture they refuse to remaster.
To be honest all games should release for PC and receive native ports for their exclusive consoles. The problem is these companies do not give a damn about their consumers. They don't see their consoles as an alternative way to experience something, they see it as the ONLY way to experience it.
I can't imagine myself, as an indie developer, wanting to isolate my game to a specific market without very good reason. I already do not wish to sell games on any subscription service because it will tank my sales and brand reach. I don't want to sell on sony consoles at all because they censor games for literally no reason, and have been doing stupid shit against the PC market. I want to be able to sell my games in as many places as possible to have as much reach as possible, but these companies don't care for developers either. It doesn't make sense for a game developer to want their game on one specific console because it bricks their capability to expand their brand and the sales themselves.
The only benefactor for exclusivity are the console companies. It's why they fund games in the first place. Epic games, which is another storefront I want nothing to do with, does this shit too. What's more important to me as a dev is being able to give my consumers the best possible experience, since it is literally basic business practice ideology.
Respectfully, this is just a little short-sighted.
Each console manufacturer has both built and supported/published certain games and genres, and has therefore formed certain audiences in turn; exclusivity plays a certain role in that too. JRPGs, visual novels and platformers, as well as more experimental titles and spinoffs (ex. light-gun/on-rail shooter games, touch-screen/motion-controlled games, etc.) have historically done pretty well on Nintendo platforms. The same can't be said for Xbox, which AFAIK mostly supports sports games, shooters and is overall a lot more centered around party chat and multiplayer. The Vita was a fairly neglected console first-party wise for a while there, so the existing player base was incredibly supportive of indies and third-party games that made it, fostering a thriving indie scene in the later years. Generally Sony's smaller exclusives and core players tend to support more experimental titles overall too than anyone else (Japan Studio, London Studio, etc.).
On Steam, there's no such favoritism as far as I'm aware, apart from search filters and the whims of algorithms, dev-side promotional tools and SEO. If you're an indie dev and a PC gamer I can see why you'd have that mindset, but there are less visible, tangible factors to consider too.
Just my 2 cents!
@@vdpt9911 I would question if the market even needs three separate manufacturers of more or less the same sort of product, as they exist today. What good is it to the consumer to have three separate, mutually incompatible computer platforms that are used primarily connected to a TV? Honestly, if it was up to me, I would not allow manufacturers to monopolize hardware platforms. Nintendo should not be the only one producing Switches and Sony should not be the only one producing PlayStations.
@@450AHX Got it. Replace 3 supposedly indistinguishable consoles with many more. Split the audience, already pretty solidified into niches and particular audiences primed towards supporting particular genres and games like in my previous comment, into even more chaos. There is great historical precedent supporting this change: huge growths in the game industry happened in 1977 and 1983 when these ideas were implemented. On a completely unrelated note, "those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it"...
@@vdpt9911 You're agreeing with me. You're saying the console war prior to the video game crash was bad. Well, why was it bad? It's because it there were too many *platforms*. It was something like 10 manufacturers each pushing his own platform and library of games. *That* was the problem. Imagine if instead it had been the same number of manufacturers, but instead competing for market share of a single platform with a single library of games. That's what the PC gaming hardware market looks like today. Well, kind of; there's a couple duopolies.
If you think it's better for consumers now that there's only 3 console hardware platforms than when there were 10, then why do you think it would not be better if there was only 1 (with multiple manufacturers)? Why is 3 the optimal number?
@@450AHX I'm pretty sure what you're proposing is just the 3DO (which failed for those reasons), or like you said, just PCs, which is not the point of consoles. People get overwhelmed by choice. The only way PC hardware competes is on price and performance, which narrows choices down, but is purely utilitarian. Consoles compete on price and performance as is, but also on exclusives, extra features, niches and audiences that I mentioned before, common experiences (primarily through exclusives, features and identity, ex. Streetpass/Miiverse vs. PS Home) and brand identity (summing all other factors, also including direction of new features/innovations/franchises). Turning just 3 platforms and libraries into 10 would limit every manufacturer to compete exclusively over price and performance, but ultimately worsen the overall experience through the loss of every other factor.
From what I've heard, PC handhelds are just the Steam Deck...and worse copycats of it, not actual competition, features and experiences like with consoles. Hardware would lose innovation due to having to stick to those two factors, let alone having everyone port or even utilize unique gimmicks or hardware innovations when there's too many cheaper options. It's also far too much research for plenty of people to do: a major part of console sales are just parents and kids looking for the next console. Whichever one, likely from the Big 3, pulls most of that audience will spiral any kind of competition that the other 7 have, especially since all they could now compete on is just price and performance.
From the 3DO Wikipedia page: "In an interview shortly after The 3DO Company dropped support for the system, Trip Hawkins attributed its failure to the model of licensing all hardware manufacturing and software to third parties. He reasoned that for a console to be a success, it needed a single strong company to take the lead in marketing, hardware, and software, and pointed out that it was essentially a lack of coordination between The 3DO Company, Panasonic, and the 3DO's software developers which had led to the console launching with only one game ready."
Maybe, the whole industry should learn with the Nintendo DS, that thing was so weak but had so much good games. Games got so expensive to do nowadays, developers need to model even strands of hair. I'm thinking about buying a Switch and mod it to emulate a lot of things
The Switch is too weak. I'll just go to PC.
If you're gonna buy the og or OLED switch, I would advise to just buy a steam deck. If you are thinking about a switch lite however, I think it's an acceptable choice. The steam deck can even be docked and obviously emulate switch games. Nowadays (sadly) I think the endgame is a decent Pc and either a steam deck or a switch lite. I've never been a Pc gamer but I can't deny reality, consoles nowadays SUCK, and even if the switch 2 turns out to be a good console I don't think it would be worth it anyways.
90% of DS games are shovelwares tho'
@@Captain_Neckbeard As the original comment stated, it's not about performance (though I can't deny it's weak. But it's not too bad) It's about the games
Switch did its job to validate my purchase. The other two made me go pc.
Meanwhile, Nintendo is still putting out games on the Switch like hot cakes. Yes, Nintendo started the ninth console generation with the Switch. They started the eighth with the Wii U, while Sony started the sixth with the PS2 and Microsoft the seventh with the 360.
Technically, Sega started the sixth with the Dreamcast.
@foxymetroid Well, the Dreamcast was Sega's last console, and everything the Dreamcast did the PS2 did better and then some, so that technically doesn't count.

The Switch 2 hasn't even been announced yet and we already know that a lot of games are coming.
Pokemon legends ZA is a New legends game.
Masahiro Sakurai just revealed that he has been working on a new game for a few years now which will probably be Smash 6.
of course we're going to get a New 3D Mario and a New Mario kart.
Monolith Soft is probably working on something especially after the ending of future redeemed.
and we're probably going to get hundreds of third party games in the first and second years of the switch 2
Switch 2 should dominate
You should really credit super chaos control for his lo-fi track
Definitely has no games because you don't even own them.
True, thats the only thing that scares me from buying these platforms
He made a BBW reference!
Right now, I own a low-midrange gaming PC and I bought my wife and I both a Switch, that way I can essentially play all the best games I want on the platfrom best suited to play these games.
Wait... you bought your wife?? (Kidding)
I'm planning to get a Switch as well, I just want fun games at this point, those hyperrealistic games are starting to be more and more like interactive movies
At most, the PS5 only ever had... two exclusives that interested me. TWO! I have a rule that says a console needs TEN games I can't get otherwise to be worth it!
To sate curiosity, those exclusives were the pack-in game, the new Ratchet and Clank (up until it came to Steam), and now the current Astro Bot. It really hurts, because so many of the referenced series in Astro Bot are ones I love... yet NONE of the ones they retain the _ability_ to make exclusive actually have anything done with them!
No exclusives, no point.
"B-BUT EXCLUSIVES ARE FINANCIALLY UNFEASIBLE NOW!"
Then there might as well be no consoles.
I drop this up because you're talking about all of the real issues with gaming. We need more games like astrobot
I've shrugged through two console generations now and don't feel like I've missed out on anything. And them thinking they need MORE power in a console is goofy considering the games that people love the most can run on phones or PCs without dedicated graphics.
Bought a ps5 months ago, spend most of my game time playing Castlevania and megaman collections...... there's been a couple games, mechwarrior 5 clans recently and Final Fantasy 7 rebirth but then System shock and Deadspace remakes lmao
I love the castlevania gba collection and the zero collection! I still need to pick up the dominus collection. Some of the best moments I had on ds!

I'm so disappointed with the game industry. They have utterly FAILED at Game Creation. We have lost so many different game genres. Bring back 2D, 2.5D, 3D, low poly PS1 style, cell shaded, you name it. Anything to save us from this drought of creativity within video games. Yes indie games are amazing BUT most indie games are only available on PC thru Steam. So right now indie games don't help the console situation... Hopefully all of that can change. Hopefully sooner than later. I don't want to be 80 years old once video games get better again
That analogy is so accurate 🤣
The best thing the PS5/XB did this gen was make SSD standardized, it let games be more open and large and we're seeing less of 'door breaches' or shimying through a small path for loading.
But all the RTX stuff? Who freaking cares. So many games do cubemap or whatever reflections and it looks really good - without making the game's performance tank to trash. But for some reason now it's REALLY important push RTX in games to the point where (this next part is an assumption) Monster Hunter Wilds is going to need a 4060 to run at 1080p medium settings and needs frame gen to hit 60fps.
What happened to the industry's brains???
I get that buying a PC is the best option but I have a ton of PS5 games that I want to play, for example this week Ys X and Romancing SaGa 2. And yes I know there are also PS4 versions which kinda makes getting a PS5 pointless but I don't think like that. Getting a new console is today more like getting a new PC. It just runs better than your older system and from time to time it's fun to upgrade your systems. I'm pretty sure the new Switch console will also have a ton of Switch/Switch2 cross gen games which will kind of make getting the new Switch pointless for a while.
What game is the background? Ive legit never seen it before, i want it!

What game are you playing at the beginning of the vid?
@GloInTheDark it's called "yellow taxi goes vroom"
Nintendo is winning by not competing
You can also add that to these stupid fans who always knock down the switch for its lack of graphical power, and I’ll tell them the same thing the game boy was underpowered, but look how well it sold
Did he say power was never a selling point? Bro, back in the 90s we used to think more bits were better. Playstation was 32 bit so it was better than the SNES which was 16 bit. The Nintendo 64 was called that specifically BECAUSE it was a 64 bit machine.
treu was always a selling point but no body cares the consumer does not care i play warband dayz fallout new vegas Phantom Dust these games look like shit but still are one of my fav even to this day
Sony's problem is not that they don't release Bloodborne on PC, they just stopped doing anything other than third-person cinematic action games that they develop for 5 years and games of services. Judging by their remasters, they barely cover the development costs.
I want to see games like Super Stardust, LocoRoco, Fat Princess, Journey, in my opinion Sony has lost its identity. It seems like they are making one fatal decision after another, I don't know anymore whether PlayStation will have its own console in a generation or whether they will simply switch to game distribution and cloud gaming.
As for Xbox, they never grew their own environment, they only absorbed other studios. They literally started by absorbing Sega's hits, their first controller is an exact copy of the Dreamcast gamepad with a second stick. If Sony at least has a philosophy of AAA cinematic games, then Microsoft has nothing at all.
I like the haptic feedback. I haven’t been buying a lot of these games that I want to play with the controller on PC at all.
I'll say it. Owning a console of this generation is a bad experience.
What game is being played in the background?
It's called, Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom.
I sold my Xbox Series X (I already had a great gaming laptop though), and instead bought the Switch OLED and the Switch Lite, the OLED is just plugged in, and the Lite is just my portable. I cannot be happier, as there are TONS of games on the Switch that are actually fun (and many uncensored which is important by the way, as Xbox and Sony nannies are just off their rockers these days with censorship). For the PC, I use Steam, GOG, and Itch, and that covers everything I need.
Yeah my switch oled will stay in the closet until I can softmod it
Dude, you legitimately can be pretty damn funny. Do people say that about you in person?
In person, I'm a walking talking dad joke. I like making these videos because I get to let loose. I pretend that I'm in a Discord call with some buddy's
I loved the fat chick analogy hahahahaha
Consoles stopped being worth buying the moment they all adopted paid online subscriptions
No, the hackers were so bad during the PS2 generation. I only played on Xbox because you had to pay it had security.
Its just gets worse and worse
Casuals ruin anything and video games have taken a dive due to them, but to be real its always been like this.
I only bought an Xbox series x because I wanted to play all the Xbox one games I missed when I only played on playstation for years.😂😅
Dont be surprised when gta 6 comes out and consoles sell out, and theres a ton of people buying used consoles. So that they can play it.
I mainly bought a console right away so when games come out at the end of this gen i already have a console to play them. Thats why i go for power. Because it will be really annoying when a big game comes out and theres not enough consoles.
Where do it says the name of the Game on the bakcround?, in the descripción only mentions the talk point.
I've lost interest in modern day gaming before the PS5 and series x was even announced. The last new systems i purchased was the Switch and Evercade VS. I barely play my ps4 and xbox one these days. I played my switch so much i had to take a long break and I'm almost 2 years behind with latest pickups for it. The Evercade VS is currently my go to gaming system. It takes me back to a simpler time in gaming and I'm discovering a whole bunch of game's i probably never would of played or heard of before.
I will say though i strongly disagree with your opinion on exclusives. We need exclusives on every platform. Without exclusives the consoles and handhelds will lack its own unique identify and will most likely reduce sales of certain systems if every game was on every system. Exclusives give me a reason to own or buy a system. Duke nukem zero hour is only available on N64. Therefore it gives me a reason too keep it around.
And activism and political agenda pushed through games kinda ruining them. Corporations now antagonising customers who disagree with them, game flops, they doing the same over and over again. I do not like to being preached and told what and how to think. They are now focusing more on pushing ideology than making games.
@@CarTastic-fv6eo Very well said dude. I agree with everything you said. I boycott any game that pushes this woke ideology onto people. I'm surprised at this point we havnt had another video game crash yet. Just like when Nintendo and Sega resurrected the gaming industry in the mid to late 80s after the first crash. If it happens again. Small indie games with a lower budget will be the ones to keep it afloat. All it takes for me to buy most indie games is if it gets a physical release. I have not bought a new aaa game since last year.
@@nomadlonestar8004 Indie game studios are also infiltrated by them. Look at Subnautica and others. If you do not agree with the mob they will bully you to a submission.
It’s time for new ideas
They still have CONSOLE exclusives even if the games go to pc. There is no issue there
Xbox has gamepass. Failstation got nothing 😂
Well for me personally I used to be a really heavy ps2 (when I had one when I was younger) my brother gave me his ps3 when he moved out and I got a ps4 late (I think 2018) and i bought a series x In 2021 but sold it that same year because I was building my first proper gaming pc which I've been using and maining since December 31st 2021, as a used to be huge sony fan and now that I've been only using a pc, keep Playstation games on Playstation, I plan on buying a ps5 soon for ps4 titles and so I can relax and bring it over to my homies place and have a blu-ray/DVD player cause physical is better then digital always. I have a switch oled I bought like 6 months ago (my 1st switch lol a little late ik) i also have a 'new' 3ds xl so I can play all my pokemon games from the ds and 3ds lineup and other games I had growing up, but if i wanted to play any xbox titles I'll just play it on my pc, xbox series x isnt worth it to me, their u.i is boring. The system is boring and the games is bad, the only reason I'd get a series x again is so I can play couch co-op with my buddies on old 360 titles like black ops 2 or whatnot, every other series x title is on pc so I'm good on that console lol
They have plenty of games. The issue is, neither have any NEW games that matter. For the next gen, whatever that may mean, I would honestly just prefer to see old games remade, sticking to the original release format of said game. Example, Dead Space Remake.....Pheonomenal. Don't add a BS online store, keep multiplayer the way it was or simple, include the whole game at launch and in working order. ALOT less Halo Infinite and more like Halo 2 remade with the updated visuals and mechanics. Why I tend to stick with indies, older games or play stuff like Doom 2016 and Eternal. They don't feel like a job to play, they're FUN, and Look amazing! Can't wait for Switch 2 and the next Doom! Here's to slightly above mediocre quality gaming experiences in the near future!
I actually don't mind exclusives but the systems need to be less expensive, have a lot of great exclusives like Nintendo does, instead of having 1 or 2 then a bunch of the same games.
Went back to 8 and 16 bit (and some arcade classics). When the current gaming situation doesn't change the Ps4 will be the last modern console for me.
As graphics get better, each newer generation becomes more incremental.
PS6 will barely look better than a PS5 Pro.
We will never see a jump like we did with 4th -> 5th and 5th -> 6th generation consoles ever again.
As for the endless remakes, remasters, and remixes, blame the lazy publishers who refuse to gamble on new IP's, instead playing it safe with yearly iterations of Call of Duty and Fifa cos games are very time consuming and expensive to develop for nowadays.
There is a massive dearth of creativity and innovation in the media industry cos films, TV and music are suffering the same plight of remakes and remasters too. Yawn.
That said, retro gaming is getting bigger and bigger cos modern gaming sucks. DLC, yearly subscriptions, battle passes, microtransations, huge game installs, lengthy patches, buggy rushed unfinished games. It is hardly any wonder that people are turning back to the older golden console generations.
I fired up Burnout 3 last night with PCSX2 with upscaled resolution, 16x anisotropic, anti-blur etc. It looked and played fantastic! Who needs modern games when there are thousands of older games to explore that you can vastly improve the look of. (the PS2 has a library of over 4000 games, the PSX has even more and is easy to upscale to 4K)
This Generation is definitely not very sustainable for big publishers right now. I don't care about Playstation or Xbox because most of their stuff seems like I don't really own anything or its all just predatory microtransaction-ish noise. but Nintendo is really killing it with the switch. I've had mine since launch and there were so many great games on this dinky little thing, plus I upgraded to an OLED (It didn't really do anything but the OLED screen is nice) Nintendo is doing their own thing and it's really working for them
They still gamble on new IPs, like... Concord, Star Wars Outlaws, Unknown 9, Foamstars, Destruction All Stars, Dustborn, Fairgame$, etc.
I want good 2d games to go with 3d games. I still play SNES and Genesis. Fun games will always be more important than graphics for me. Plus physical media would be nice. Don't want to get away from that.
6:11. Uppercut.
Nintendo is king. The alternatives are third party crap.
Steam Deck is the best gaming device I've ever owned. I feel like I can play almost anything on there. If they come out with a Steam Deck 2 OLED, that might just be my final gaming device. 😂
What game is that on the gameplay?
It's called "yellow taxi goes vroom"
Nintendo isn't about the gimmicks but true
Might I recommend a Sega Dreamcast? It has more games than these modern consoles.
Ive been on that emulator binge
Same here! I feel like we went full circle, and the old is now new again.
Sure there's cool games on switch, but there's better exclusives on pc, get the steam deck or asus rog ally instead. No point in switch nowadays tbh. All 3 of the mainstream consoles are actually pointless unless you want to play smash or mariokart.
As a Nintendo fan. I just want to say there are way more great games to play besides just Smash and Mario Kart. SMB Wonder is the most inventive platformer in the Mario series in years, and it genuinely feels like a refresh of the NSMB series. Has great music and Level design Ideas, Animations. Overall the game is a great time. Splatoon is probably one of the best 3rd Person Shooters I've played period. It can get frustrating at times but all games are like that and its genuinely fun and probably the most creative and inventive Nintendo Game ever. Metroid is also great if you like Metroidvanias. The Xenoblade Chronicles series tell Amazing stories with the video game medium and also has great music. The Switch has games too y'know, you just had to look for them.
Still gonna have more fun with a device that runs Games though
@@SegaAidan So you're just going to ignore all the games I suggested then huh. Cool
@@nintony2994 Yes, they're 60 dollars each i don't have that kind of money to be spending on Nintendo games.
@@SegaAidan Fair enough they're quite expensive. But the point being is that there were more games than just "Smash" and "Mario Kart"
Nintendo hard carried the 9th generation, I am fully ready to see them hard carry the 10th generation too unless they pull that WiiU stunt again where they have a great console marketed so poorly that some people STILL don't realize it even existed. Like dang, scientists shouldn't study the secrets of life and the universe, they should be studying the secret of how Nintendo's marketing team screwed up so bad when they did a legendary job marketing the Wii just one generation before that point!
Let's be honest. Sony is having a hard time confirming their existence and; hot take, Xbox just sucks. Solution? Get rid of Xbox and Sony; at least nothing knew from them, and just stick with Steam and Nintendo. If you care about realism and indi games Steam. If you care about games, Nintendo. If you're a serious gamer BOTH. Problem solved.😌
PS2 and Xbox 360 were the best consoles.
it's because they aren't game developers the way nintendo is...nintendo is a kids' toy company who made video games as toys for kids....sony and xbox are just businesses who will try to make a profit in any industry market space...there's little comparison between nintendo, sony, and xbox when talking about them as game developers...
Microsoft/Xbox certainly make games and have been doing it for decades, even before Xbox was a thing
@@My_Old_YT_Account microsoft game development history almost isn't comparable in any way to nintendo - look at nintendo 1st party game dev history - then look at their 3rd party dev history - then look at their publishing history - then look at those 3 aspects of microsoft - nintendo is world class, ms on the other hand would have gone out of business as a game developer and publisher many times if it wasn't for their 'windows' war-chest. they are a software company who saw dollar signs in video gaming and hardware and have been trying to buy their way in for decades. and sony...💀
If anything, pc prices are absurd. The average person/kid/present max allowance might have maybe a few hundred quid to put towards playing games. Only absolute spoilt nerds would spend thousands on a pc. The rest of the world simply not gona bother. We almost at that point with consoles aswell. 400 and 60 for a game was pushing it. 700....naa. a lot of people are just gina check out and dust off the 360 i reckon.
There are enough games bro
Trying to appease the “looks like a ps3” crowd
I love your video haha just fun
Anyone know what game that is?
Im a near solely PS player, got a 360, One and SX but i only bought the SX because my One S was absolutely abysmally underpowered and hated running games.. i literlaly not got a single series x game and im not willing to count Horizon 5 as an exclusive. Its also a very depressingly boring game. The last great Horizon was 2!
As for Playstation my ps5 library is tiny in comparison to my PS4 collection.. i gotna day 1 launch pre order excited for the next gen of gaming and now we have Woke DEI ruined games that under perform and under deliver and they release them on PS4 anyway so why did i buy a PS5? My ps4 runs games just fine and holds up far better than an Xbox One.
Its mad that in the PS2 era we had
GTA III
GTA Vice City
GTA San Andreas in the less time then it actually has taken Rockstar to make GTA VI.
Two God of War games
Two Metal Gear Solid games.
Its annoys me the dev time and bloat. Its ridiculous!
that is just impossible today let them cook there is enough to play I can't even finish my backlog
Anything after 7th gen was pointless the ps4 was basically just a ps3 that couldn't play the older games people say it was improvement graphically but literally the games look the same till the very end of the generation and considering it was still only 1080p on the base ps4 it could have been done on a ps3, the ps5 and series x are what should've been our 8th gen systems but its a little to late for anyone to care because all the current gen games are on pc or on the last generation hardware and if you want a console you should just buy a steamdeck like personally only games I've seen that can't run the same as on consoles are the pvp games which Idc about pvp games just want to nickle and dime you and have no substance to them I get bored after like 20mins vs I can sit down and play rpgs, platformers, and strategy games all day long my favorite thing about a steamdeck is being able to play the tons of card games that will never be on consoles
