No Returnal, Death Loop, Rift Apart, Demons Souls or FFXVI?
Dead Space Remake? Last of Us Remake? Soon Death Stranding 2 and Spiderman 2.
Everybody talks about Gamepass non stop, including MS at all their events.
What they really need is more consoles in peoples houses. They might be reaching a limit for what they can achieve from the pc base. Starfield will also give them a boost, I know I'll subscribe for month when forza releases and then spend a month playing both as much as possible.
So in 6 years they'll have around 36 games. That'll be some year!
With that said, I think we'll see more games from 2024 and onward. Seems like they afe finally kicking into gear, through Bethesda they've had a lot this year.
I assume you can mine resources on empty planets and I suppose the 10% will be marked on maps and like, so probably ok.
I don't think you'll ever get folders, they gave you lists which has the same function with some small differences.
I think both consoles have the ability to produce great looking games. Not really convinced that we'll ever see great differences between the two.
Horizon 5 is nice to look at. Halo Infinite also has its moments and Flight Simulator is impressive.
But Myst and Scorn (crap game) are some of the more visually impressive game I've played on Xbox. Really wish Myst would make it to Ps5, looks absolutely gorgeous.
Even minor stuff can be heavy if it's poorly optimized.
Win 10 barely works on a hdd. Used it like that for a long time and it was a miserable experience. Felt like getting a new pc when I finally installed an ssd.
The shift to ssd is the best part of modern consoles. Load times noticeably shorter now. Takes 5 seconds to boot FFXVI from dashboard. ps4 couldn't do this, anyone who has played both current gen and previous gen versions of Elden Ring knows how big a deal this is.

Ofcourse it's not universal, but it applies to the company making Quantum Error. It's a small team and maybe they don't have people who have figured out how to do this yet.
People also tend to forget that GT7, Forbidden West and Ragnarok would most likely have been the exact same releases without the ps4 ports. They might even have been planned as ps5 only until the shortage happened.
Haven't read up on it, but does Ratchet and Clank manage to switch between worlds as fast on a hdd or do they stretch the transition screen? Does seem like something that needs an ssd, because they do load between huge scenes in a short amount of time. Unless they can somehow preload all of it.
It could probably be done, but it takes time and know-how to implement it.
I think the problem is that people expect a major jump in fidelity and that will never happen. Fidelity is ever increasing but the days of the big generational leap between ps1 and ps2 or ps2 and ps3 is long gone. Personally my biggest interest in this generation has been the reduced loadtimes. Something that carries over to older games as well. I'm glad I didn't have to play Elden Ring on a ps4, it loads forever when you die.
Starfield will probably be good. It's another big release in a line of wild releases in 2023, I have high hopes. First Tears of the Kingdom, then FFXVI, Pikmin 4 and AC:Rubicon and directly into Starfield, Forza, Mario Wonder and Spiderman.
@Pete
The thing about the we believe in generations quote is that he meant that he believes a new console will add new experiences. He was talking about how ps5 games would have haptics, 3D sound, fast loadtimes and better visuals. All of the games Sony relessed since has had these things. There are two versions of Ragnarok and there's obvious differences between the two. If people read his quote in context they would get this.
Not to defent the guy, just a bit...
Soon MS will have released a lot of games. With AbK they will have developed games like Diablo 4, the drought is retroacticely over.
ABK was hard because they are the biggest publisher in the industry, if not the biggest company overall. Ubisoft is a lot smaller, so probably not as tough.
They know that they are next in line, so why wouldn't they congratulate them?
This year has to be one of those high moments, since Tear Of Kingdom (of System Shock Remake) it's been and continues to be big game after big game releasing straight until christmas.
