The PS Vita is causing a lot of commotion recently, so we here at RPI have been deliberating which of the old retro Sony games would fit the new console.
Insider Gaming has learned that the ongoing price increases in RAM due to the rise in AI could delay the next generation of console releases.
What is even the incentive of upgrading to the next-gen after this console generation we've had? Graphics are plateauing, prices at an all time high, studios skipping entire generations or simply releasing just one game for it...
Its a mess
How do you gauge each generation? There has been a lot of really good games this gen. I only care about the games. First party hasn’t been the best but the generation isn’t over yet
jznrpg,
Thing is, every generation before this one has had something that defined console identity. Very little beyond bigger/more detailed games and performance modes are really there.
I feel the last generation that cared very much was gen 7; Capcom's darkest era, but I have to give them props for being really experimental at the time. We saw plenty of new games that still tried to do something new. Outside of Metaphor and Clair Obscur, this gen has been pretty forgettable if you ask me. I'm sure a lot of it is the corporatization of the industry and the creative talent has to keep making sequels and spiritual successors because the cost of development is out of control. But even then, plenty of these experiences are experiences we've had already. And the thing is. Switch 2 and PSVR2 could really be doing incredible things, but it's just not there. Xbox I just don't see the value or point anymore but that's just me.
Why has is been the worst? I've been gaming all my life and this gen. has been one of the best.
Not to mention that just like this generation, the next one will also be shared between the current and next gen console at least for a couple of years. So the few titles that it will had, just like this one, will run on the console you already have.
I think people have to remember the pandemic at start of this gen and how it effected game development. This next gen we will see the PS4 etc support dropped and truly see the full utilisation of SSD's improvements to ray and path tracing and the impact of AI upscaling etc will be where the biggest improvements will come from.
My sentiments exactly, next gen has got to prove it's worth before i buy into it this time. This has been the weakest generation in my 30yrs of gaming. From the drawn out cross gen garbage, to so many games getting stuck in development hell or canceled, to the ABSURD levels of trend chasing to the point of self destruction, this gen just wasn't worth it
I'm pretty sure I've already read a story that said Playstation is only halfway through this console's generation and that PS6 is a way off.
Im good with next gen being pushed back to 27/28. It feels like this gen has only just begun.
Covid-19 held back everything at least 2 years worth. Although many people disliked, i think only UE5 can generally distinguish this gen from the previous one.
UE5 is definitely impressive, but I would also give the nod to the current version of Decima, at least the way it looks for Death Stranding 2.
That's normal how you think. Time goes faster when you're older and i bought my PS5 since day 1 release and now it's 5 years old. I don't mind a year delay to release PS6 in holiday 2028.
Regardless of RAM price increases, I strongly believe there’s still a lot of potential left for the current gen. I’d be fine with at least 3 more years.
Whenever it comes out is fine with me. I still have backlog for the next year at least
Although the situation has improved in recent iterations, for much of its history the Gran Turismo series has been heavily criticized for its engine sounds. During the PlayStation 2 and 3 eras, engine notes were often compared to "vacuum cleaners"; the result of synthesized loops that lacked the soul and mechanical violence of their real-world counterparts.
Video games sounds keep evolving with every new generation be it a little or a lot eventually it will get to the point of been inside the race car
Talk about a must have for the holidays.
Reading the Reddit threads from people who have actually bought this, and report the accuracy as absolutely horrible (particularly as the calibration is done in 16:9 while the games play at 4:3 which then stretches to fit the screen), you’d thing it’s a completely different device compared to those people who got given one for free to review like this one.
It’s a shame as I loved the idea, particularly if someone could fine a way to hack it so Time Crisis 2 and the House of the Dead games could also be added, but seems maybe a gen 2 attempt next year would be worth waiting for when they can hopefully get the accuracy and calibration fixed.
That is a shame, I was looking forward to this but wanted to see what people were saying about the finished product, I'll probably wait for the next iteration
There should've been a NAMCO light gun collection by now, even a SEGA one. Played most of the SEGA games, not so much NAMCO.
Ah man! Crash Team Racing!
I would love a Heavy Rain type game and Gran Turismo for the Vita.
battlefield 3, dual analog sticks.
120 fps
1200p
Come on.....you can't forget Ape Escape!
Okami of course
