No one’s asking for a PS6. Each console gen should last longer than the last anyway at this point.
Yeah. The previous cycles are unsustainable. And we all need to update our expectations.
Why tf did we even need a PS5 to begin with? Other than correcting shitty loading times, nothing actually changed except I couldn't play my games while the shortage lasted.
The spec difference between a PS4 and a PS5 was pretty big, SSD aside.
Entire new computer be like: SSD
We are about to enter a consumer tech dark age.
I have no idea how companies expect to sell us AI if no one has a device that can access it.
It'll be the Chromebook model: ship devices with barebones specs with the idea that consumers must subscribe for cloud access for true computational capabilities.
Chromebooks are usually plenty powerful to run an independent OS. Just not a bloated one consumers are used to.
They'll gladly rent out usage of a computer to you for a subscription of expensive tokens like gems in a consumer unfriendly video game.
Add another contradiction onto the pile.
We’ve been in it for a few years now… and it’s not ending anytime soon
what would even be the point of a ps6 really? in terms of graphics i feel like we’ve reached diminishing returns…
it’s just new hardware for the sake of it, to enable games that are even less optimized and look (& most importantly, play) almost identical to games released 10 years ago on hardware with a fraction of the power (and a fraction of the energy consumption…)
I would kind of understand it if the PS5 Pro doesn't already exist. There's already a high end expensive PS5 to play modern games at very high graphics, why would Sony make a PS6 any time soon if it's just going to be the same thing? There isn't any performance leap that would make it worth getting.
AI upscaling to 8k with 120FPS!
I think we haven't even fully utilised current gen power, not sure what the next-gen will be.
My upgrade plan for my PC life included a move from 1440p to 4k for my display a few years ago, but when it came time to do that, I realized that I didn't even really want it. I already had a 4k monitor at work where the UI was scaled because no scaling made it unreadable. Why add more pixels only to scale them away?
Which left gaming and media. For gaming, I realized I never had a problem with the amount of pixels on the screen. While 4k probably does look better (assuming it's actually rendered at 4k and not just upscaled 1440p or something), I've never felt like adding more resolution would improve the experience. Similar for media, looks great when it is 4k but I don't really miss it when it isn't (and it's usually not even available). Plus I do have a 4k TV I can use if I really want to.
So I just stopped the search for a display with decent specs other than 4k and instead got an ultrawide 1440p.
Anyways, I've applied the same logic to 8k TVs.
I'm not sure I'd call video game graphics "solved", as there can always be more fidelity and accuracy for things other than resolution, but it's just the tech geek in me that's interested in that. And that might occasionally come out during a game, but it's not an important aspect, more of a "oh this isn't quite right, I wonder how it could be implemented to be correct" that I don't even notice most of the time while playing.
I think we've hit a point of diminishing returns for graphics, I expect physics to be the next big leap. In game physics have come a long way but there's still noticeable jank a lot of the time, stuff that gives away that you're inside a video game.
Once that gets improved, we're then on a good path to having VR make a proper return to public consciousness as well. One of the biggest problems with VR right now besides barrier of entry is just how janky the environmental interactions are.
I can't see them releasing the PS6 for a long time.
Don’t worry Sony, was not planning to purchase one anyway. I regret purchasing the 5, it is collecting dust. PC Gaming while sailing the high seas all the way.
And I'm not willing to buy it at with significant price increases.
The problem is that so many of these still sell in any case.
Oh so we'll be able to install steamOS on it, right?
Then they will sell none.
