I have a rule where I don't buy a new console until five games I actually want to play are released for it. I didn't hit that until Spider-Man 2 was released. It feels like the majority of the library for it is remakes and online multiplayer games.
@@ad3970 I think we need to get rid of the practice of exclusives. I can think of a bunch of reasons why I would be happy if one of the consoles just died. The only negative I could think of is then the other one would have control of the market and who knows what they might do
@@Keyven_I agree, exclusives are pretty anti-consumer and I'm getting really sick of it in general. Also, game companies need to respect game preservation more. I'm tired of great games being trapped on old hardware and I think game exclusives hurt preservation a lot because some game companies, especially Nintendo, aren't interesting in putting exclusives on PC. These companies are leaving plenty of great games to rot on consoles most people don't own anymore
Well there's nothing more to do. We did it. We did gaming. Every technological advancement is now superfluous, the eye of the consumer cannot distinguish the quality. All that's left is to come up with me spins on old ideas. Until VR gets mainstream, we're not gonna see anything revolutionary again. That's not to say there will never be good games, just that there's nothing groundbreaking left to do.
Right!? Like shouldn't they invest more in the console so more people buy it and their games? I mean I'm not buying an other console for like half a decade at least.
@@urmanascrewed This gen has been a mess, I have zero incentive to spend money on an overpriced console with overpriced games, which I can't even find in stores sometimes when my PS4 and switch are STILL getting every modern game I want. Sony dropped the ball this generation imo
@@baseddepartment1645 The Xbox also kinda shet their own bed themselves by not offering much of anything new that you couldn't get on the previous Xbox. The only games I want an Xbox for are Killer Instinct and Palworld. The PS5 sold really good on name and new hat hype alone.
I wish companies would realize that their quick cash grabs CAN make money, but their capability for innovation can make even more money, as well as a great experience for consumers. It's actually disappointing to think about how rinse and repeat everything is nowadays.
Gaming died during PS3 / Xbox 360 gen when small studios had to be absorbed by larger ones to afford the increasing development costs and demand, PS2 was the last creative generation with AA and AAA funding, hopefully AI and increasingly easy to use and powerful gamedev tools available will give us a new generation of creativity.
@@Grandmaster-Kush I wouldn't go that far man, as a trade off we have much more indie devs, but yeah AAA titles are sadly much less experimental and it will only get worse
before a new console arrive, the previous last 7-8 years, so the ps5 is already in her second half life. Still I guess the meaning of that sentence, is that ps5 doesn't have much to offer besides remastered games or games that are the same of the previous chapter.
@@CommanderM820 solid-state drive. it's been a thing in PCs for a while, but is pretty much the crux of consoles this generation due to the efficiency in loading speeds being an immense step up over standard hard drives.
Yeah, a SSD for a Ps4 Pro was absolutely the best upgrade for it. I still on my Pro with a SSD and god, everything feels so smooth in terms of loading times.
Agreed, they're still making most games work on ps4, feels like we never even got to see what the ps5 can really be pushed to do other than spiderman 2. The 0 loading screens thing is great but underutilized, the controllers are awesome but it seems like most devs kinda just forgot to implament haptics. Idk imagine if we got to the end of the ps4's life cycle and every game was still being backported to the ps3
They are making games on PS4 because they can do it, which was unfeasible with PS3, they could be releasing games on PS4 until 2028 if they wanted@@dainfinitum7819
Sequels I don't inherently mind. God of War Ragnarok, for example, was still an absolutely stellar title that expanded the story and gameplay in all the ways you'd want from a sequel. There's definitely a problem with players demanding endless remakes of titles and buying a game they already own again at full price, or buying every rushed new entry in a series they know while never looking at anything else in the genre (looking at you, Pokemon), but it does provide safe money to companies to be able to fund their more experimental and niche stuff. And there's always tons of great stuff to find outside of AAA.
@@AJayZy to be honest I just think Microsoft realized what was happening and pivot their strategy to PC gaming. Xbox is pretty much just for people that play on gamepass and/or don't want to bother with a PC.
Thats because it was less labor intensive the graphics were simpler, the settings and world was smaller. It didn't require thousands of employees to make one game.
Okay but have you seen the prices of videogames in the retro age? You say that like paying 70 or 80 bucks for a game is insane but adjust for inflation and the AAA games nowadays are relatively cheap or on par with early video games. Especially before Nintendo entered the market you could pay the equivalent of like $150 just to get some big steamer of a game. To be honest, you don't even have to go back all that far. The inflation calculator is pretty handy for this.
"How many times can you re-release the exact same things and get away with it?" This is the question that game industry has been testing for the last 10 years or so.
Are we… are we all just silently moving to PC these days? This generation has been absolutely QUIET. It legitimately surprises me every time someone talks about console wars because I didn’t realize we were in the middle of any…
You're probably too young to remember the console wars. They ended a long time ago Billy. Those stopped mattering circa 2013. Also the Switch has double the users that Steam or Epic does. If anybody is going over to PC gaming they apparently don't do it through Steam or Epic games. Also go read up on the fun little studies that show the current generation of kids is becoming increasingly stupld and technologically illiterate. The curse of growing up with smart phone apps to do everything for you. Younger kids are increasingly reluctant to game on PC because it's viewed as difficult. The art of modding games is being lost by younger gens stupidity and inability to navigate system files.
@@Elfenlied8675309 Ah ha! I knew the current generation was becoming technologically illiterate!

ngl the 600 bucks spent on a ps5 feels pretty wasted. Like there is legitimatly no reason to play games on it that i couldnt just play off my computer, which is pretty dissapointing.
The last generation bleed so far into the current generation that it feels like we still haven't gotten anything actually built specifically for current consoles yet.
We honestly haven't. Only difference between last and current gen is the reduced load times. I think Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart was the closest thing we've had to "Genuinely couldn't have been done this well on the previous console" but even that was just some flashy quick-loading stuff that they were able to work around in the PC release.
Which is the reason i still play the PS exclusives on my PS4 Pro, and wait for other games to release on PC. Even after all these years that the PS5 released, i still dont see a reason to get one.
I think releasing nearly every game on ps4 and ps5 was a dumb move. There’s no incentive to upgrade, and it smells like a confession that there isn’t a big difference if the studios can release both easily. PS2 was huge step up from PS1 and PS3 was a step up from 2. Since then I don’t think there’s been much change. And graphics don’t make a game fun anyway.
Ha! I use emulators like PPSSPP Gold and AetherSX2 to play PSP and PS2 games on my low/mid android phone. My PS4 Slim is still great and intact, though I barely play games anymore. I usually only replay the Batman Arkham Games, God Of War 3, 2018 and Ragnarok, and Resident Evil 4 Remake for a few hours when I'm bored. I know, I know, no one asked, I'll shut up now.
I feel like the ps5 hasn’t even started , what I played during his lifetime was , for honor , resident evil 5 , and a bunch of older games , I feel stuck , but I still enjoy old games , now I’m going back to Xbox and been playing all gears of wars again , made me realize , it isn’t nostalgia, it was just simply better
The problem is that since the Playstation 3, the PS4, and PS5 have just been cash grab systems. Then on top of that the PS5 exclusives that also come out on PC was shooting a dead pig. I got Final Fantasy 7 Remake on the PS4, and then when the rest of the game only came out on the PS5. I sold my copy of Final Fantasy Remake then bought the game for PC.
@@olli99sven49 But a big L for Nintendo fans, having less competition means Nintendo has to try less to make the same amount. We're possibly already seeing this with the delay of the Switch 2...
PS5 was dated when it came out. That pile of 200w trash can't even run games a decade old, natively! Sony is shit at engineering and design, they need to just pay good engineers and designers instead of asking twitter what they think looks cool.

This video is an all time classic. Came back to watch again and that fake News Segment still gets me. “It’s being called the biggest f****** waste of money”. I thought the consoles would take a year or so to get into action but at this point it’s like they never even started. Games industry is down bad. No wonder Nintendo delayed until 2025 for their next hardware.

Things are hopefully going to start looking up now so I don’t see this happening, but if I’m in that position I’d still probably just buy the parts I need 1 by one until I had a decent build. Consoles are very restrictive for what is essentially a prebuilt gaming PC that I can’t easily modify or upgrade without just selling it and buying another model
I got my PS4 very late into that generation and was worried it would quickly be obsolete. Nearly 5 years on and I still see no real reason to 'upgrade'.
That's an understatement. I'm still in the PS2 because I'm too poor to afford a PS3 and PS4. Once I get both of them in the future, I see no real reason to get a PS5 since most titles are cross-gen.
It's funny that as a giant film nerd, Dunkey has become so comfortable with editing and letting his voice shine through his productions that he's essentially autocthonically reinvented aspects of Soviet montage film style, and he uses his power for video game commentary. We don't deserve him.
I built my PC back in 2014 for $650 and it still plays every new game that comes out at max or near-max settings at 60fps.

Also, when you factor in Steam the games are cheaper and I have access to so many games it makes my head spin.

@@indigo7898 Yeah I just got mine a year ago and it feels like I've had it for two months, since I only played 2 or 3 games on it yet, it has spent more time collecting dust than anything else. I usually wait before buying a console, well for the PS5 I didn't have much of a choice anyway. Oh well I'll probably get my PS6 in 5 or 6 years too, if ever.
The PS5 is 4 years old this year. Console cycles used to be 4-5 years, the 2008 recession happened and since then the cycle is 7-8 years. So with that in mind, we're at the halfway point in 9th gen. Time moves fast when you're not looking....
Not only is the ps5 in reality only for 2 years now really available, if the ps5 will have a long support with adapted ps6 titles ( as the ps4 had with ps5 games) buying the ps6 makes no sense.
to be fair, games used to be on exclusive consoles back in the day. when the ps2 dropped it was objectively more bang for your buck to buy that over a pc. but after we reached the point where games started dropping on PC and we had a platform better than the dogshit Windows Play or whatever it was called, it was a wrap. Devs that used to swear by one console (Naughty Dog for Playstation, Bungie for Xbox) have all started making PC ports. Because why leave that money on the table? The only console worth getting amymore is a Switch, since Nintendo will never let their games hit the PC legally.
You don't even need to be rich to get a PC that can play the same games as consoles these days. I purchased my PC for $400 and it's been able to play every modern game at 1080p on max settings. Sure, it doesn't have ray tracing I guess but other than that so what? When you can buy a PC for less than a console and play the same games (thousands more actually) why even bother buying a console? Just seems pointless to even bother with them these days.
@@ApexGale Yep, the PlayStation 2 was the last console even worth investing in. Sure, the PS3 and 360 were still pretty good at launch but within 3-4 years of that generation most people with a functioning brain switched to PC. If you were still gaming on a console in 2010 you were basically a Neanderthal.
I'm so happy i've gone towards PC gaming after my PS4 era. I've had a ton of fun with the PS4, it had a lot of good console exclusives when i bought it, but Sony decided to slowly release some of those games to PC as well, so... f*ck em'.
They need to stop putting so much emphasis on graphics on all their main exclusives. I like graphics that are cutting edge for SOME games but I also like games that don't take 5 years to make and have new ideas besides the best graphics
Pretty sure all the development resources are being siphoned by live service titles. If people stop buying into that garbage, we will see real titles again.
@@blitzcomet3607 its not graphics its length and scope. too many studios want to make an open world gigantic 80+ hour RPG after BOTW and Elden Ring instead of trying to make a simple linear 20 hour game, and all the development time goes wasted on trying to make some overtly gigantic game that ultimately flops flat on its face we need more basic but fun games like Devil May Cry or MGR
i didn`t even buy one yet because it feels like there are no games for it. ps4 is still strong. most games are cross-platform. i don`t know. at this point i might just wait for ps6. don´t feel like buying a console for FF7-2 and Demon Souls.

@@144chosen However, I recommend building your own PC. It's expensive to start off, yes. However 'prebuilt' PC's are often way too over priced anyways. But also do research to better understand the best way to 'future proof' your PC. What I mean but this is, understand what the current, low, mid, and top range components are for a PC in today's current generation. If you are tight on budget, a mid range pc might be best for you. It will still last you a while, but if you want the best of the best in terms of really future proofing your machine. Top range is the way to go, but very expensive. The list will be too long to put here, but you get the point. Identifying what is part is compatible with each other is also critical in understanding how long it will last you (as in upgrading it) will go a long way. Also, look up, bottlenecking too. For example, if you have a really powerful graphics card, but a weaker cpu. Your machine will be 'bottlenecked' as in your more 'powerful' component won't be utilising it's full protentional. Don't want to complicate things here, so I advice you look look it up. It's better to build your own PC, and understand 'future proofing' your machine. It will benefit you more long term. And having knowledge on the ins and out of your own PC will make upgrading parts even easier for the future. Since you'd built it yourself, it's better. I also recommend using a website called 'pc part picker' when going down the route of building your own PC. It show's what components are compatible, but still check anyways just in case. I'm exited for you in this journey. It can be overwhelming at fist, I won't lie. But over time, it will be rewarding!

I mostly agree, but games can be bigger & more complex thanks to faster CPUs and more RAM since that was pretty limiting during the 360 and PS3 era. But I guess that's why you were saying "on a fundamental level". Developers/designers were finally able to fully realize almost any vision they wanted at that generation of hardware, and so game design hasn't really evolved much (beyond trends like open world, or survival crafting) since the 360/PS3's explosion of novelty & creativity

the best thing about knack 3 would be that it would also release on pc pc gamers would finally have a glimpse of one of the most exceptional franchises of all times
Modern gaming is shit, it's gotten too expensive to make games and most developers are locked out of developing games due to this. Back when the the PS1 came out it was relatively cheap to develop a game. Same in regards to the PS2. Around the time the PS3 came out game development got more expensive, most smaller studios were absorbed by larger ones, and things began to fizzle out but there were still gems to be found. By the time the PS4 came out the landscape was forever changed, almost every smaller studio was acquired by larger ones, games became overly expensive to develop, and originality died because nobody wanted to take risks. The PS5 is just a continuation of the PS4 but far worse. The console was doomed from the start and I feel sorry for anyone who invested in one.

I'll say that my experience with PS5 has been alright. I still use it to game more often than my PC, not because it's better but mainly due sheer simplicity. I like PC gaming, but the main issue I'll always with it is something goes wrong it can be a nightmare to fix, though thats more of a me issue since im not really a tech wizard. I got my PC about 2ish years ago and my PS5 about one year ago, my PC is pretty average or maybe even a little lower end, but having it still opens up so much more than a console does. Im rather young, so I wasn't around when older consoles were released, but i had an older brother who had a PS2 by time I came of age to be cognizant enough to play it and I say that alone will always be my favorite console just due to the sheer amount of games it had, playing such games play Jak & Daxter, FFX, Rachet and Clank, Gutiar hero, Kingdom hearts, and so much more was an experience that still cant be rivaled today. Im not entirely sure why I typed this out at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="390">6:30</a> in the morning, but I think its just sad to see how gaming has changed as a whole. So id say play whatever you want and make the most of it, even if it's not doing the hottest, or just simply where the homies are at. Still, if you want the most, I say go with PC since if you really want to play console games, especially older ones, you can always sail the high seas and pirate them with emulators and such.
