But they barely released anything for the current generation of consoles.

And that trend will continue, which is why console sales are well behind where they were last generation, and it’s why the next Xbox will just run Windows.

Seriously. A number of games that were announced for Xbox at release still have no release date in sight.

I know it tracks with the release of other consoles, but wow, did this one go fast… I feel like it’s barely been out, but over 6 years have passed and it will be 7 when it releases. I honestly have no idea how they can even improve much from what currently exists anyway. Almost everything I wanted was addressed in the PS5. Guess we’ll see.

Were you happy with the ps5? Genuinely curious.
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yes, it improved on every aspect of the ps4. Load times were non-existent, graphics upgrade was good enough, the exclusives were always great. I like a dedicated box for gaming, not that I don’t play pc games as well, it’s just easier to pick up and go on a console especiallywith rest mode…
I got it a few months after it released, which is how long it took to find one, and at the time i was deciding between building a new PC or getting a PS5 and at the time the PS5 was way cheaper due to GPUs being ridiculously priced. I thought it was a great price for what you got and it’s a solid system. I use it on average once every other day and has given me no issues.
It was a solid console in every aspect to me. My one complaint is as much as I like the controllers they suffer from stick drift and I have gone through 4 controllers so far. Same goes for every one of my friends so it’s awful.

Good luck with that.

Definitely the least excited I’ve ever been for a console. 1st Xbox SX buyer that eventually traded in for a PS5 and it’s incredibly redundant with my PC. At this point I’m happy playing on Steam Deck level graphics settings. Next consoles need a better gimmick than better ray tracing, bigger open worlds, more fetch quests to advertise scale

Pc is the future of gaming. After series x and switch I’m going to a living room pc gaming setup and a steam deck. There’s nothing on Sony or Xbox platforms that I can’t get on pc, and the only thing I like about the switch right now is the portability. There’s only a handful of Nintendo exclusives I care about and I think I’ll just sail the seas for those. The Nintendo platform is just not worth the cost

Same, if my steamdeck can’t run it then I don’t play it. I love portable gaming so much because I can just be around the house or quickly suspend the game if something comes up.
Additionally it seems all the new games are pretty boring, maybe I’m just getting old, but I don’t care about graphics at all, just give me a fun game.
I’m actually playing the original oblivion right now and have no problems or complaints about the graphics, it’s just not important to me.

I’ve been playing the Remaster and it looks immaculate, and it’s the same game. Different strokes I know, but I am loving the Remaster so far.
That said, I got Schedule 1 the other night and I put in two all-nighters already so far. That game is addicting - like the crack you can cook and sell in it.

I have a Legion Go with Bazzite. Happily playing the Oblivion remaster on it. Just have to set the TDP to 20+ to get stable 36fps+ at low settings. Looks good to me
Besides that I mostly play Hades 1/2, Warm Snow, Victor Vran, and turn based JRPG games and the Yakuza games turn based or action. The only thing kind of hardware intensive graphics are the latest Yakuza/Like a Dragon games. Hades and Warm Snow have me interested in trying more rouguelites. Afterimage is getting me into metroidvanias. A bunch of games-games.
Yakuza and the JRPG can be narrative heavy but usually more over the top nonsensical or whimsical which I enjoy a lot more now that I’m getting towards middle age and edgy like I had thought as a teenager and in my 20s don’t feel as “adult” like how I now recognize “adult”

Their gimmick will be insane cost with 50% of previous gen features included!

I’m mostly PC. I have a PlayStation, and I just like the rental tryout system of PS+. I still think it’s a nicely cost effective way for someone new to gaming to try a lot of stuff.
But yes, even then you can often get much of the same through Steam key bundles.
