    The start of the generation feels slow because it was slow. While the hardware has been released 3 years ago, the tech stack is decidedly stuck years behind the hardware. Most current-gen games feel like they are souped up version of last-gen games (higher resolution, higher frame rate) because well they are. Biggest example being all these UE4 games. UE4 is a game engine built around last-gen consoles and struggles when given more horsepower (looking at you Star Wars Jedi: Survivor). Until we see more games build around genuine current-gen tech (like UE5), this feeling will continue. Spiderman 2 is one of the few that made the genuine leap. Almost all the big studios (Ubisoft, Capcom) have not.
    Compare that to the start of last-gen. For example, AC Unity was built for the Xbox One and PS4 and it melted those consoles down. Ubisoft built an entire new engine (AnvilNext) for it and there was no way a 360 or PS3 could have run it.

      Afaik, they couldn't unless they do a price hike as just like the ps5 it self, the PsVr2 is sold at loss so they would have any valid reasons to make it go on an open market like pc where they wouldn't get any returns. They just failed to support the hardware and that a huge bummer for them cuz that thing is really incredible

    • @SunilKumar-ui9gr
      @SunilKumar-ui9gr 10 місяців тому +1

      Yeah it would be a welcome addition for PC. However, Sony might decide against it because optimising it for the relatively few PS5 titles is far simpler than optimising the huge majority of PC games and pushing updates, which would involve more work and expense on Sony's part. Hence, they won't bring it to PC. :(

    For me, the best console generation is between 16-bit and 32-bit. A LOT of games from that time were REALLY fun, creative and ORIGINAL ideas. In fact, they are the reason for all of today's remakes. THOSE games helped give rise to the games we have today.

Xbox list since release is nowhere near playstation releases. especially this current gen exclusives. starfield, hifi rush and forza motorsport are the only current gen exclusives for series x if you want to go that route. compare those 3 to spiderman 2, Rift apart and Returnal.

      Jim Ryan retired didn't you hear? Someone from Japan is now interim CEO.

    Xbox has been a failure for over 10 years. None of their games matter, and no one is buying an Xbox. For IGN to give Xbox a "B" is so darn laughable.

    Had MS done any better or sold more Xboxes than PS5s then the Activision Blizzard deal would have been less likely to happen. You can't have it all. MS playing a long cloud game. Certain territories it's hard to leverage console where a phone or PC is more easily accessible. Smart to focus on moving the Xbox ecosystem across multiple devices through subscription/cloud etc. The next Xbox you may not even need in your home and could come with a specific cloud subscription. MS again is playing a very long cloud software ecosystem strategy with Activision Blizzard. The PS5 consoles sales only seem super impressive now but what will it look like 7 years from now?
