Say brehs, is it safe to say we were part of a beta test all along. :lupe: too many remasters and not many new game franchises. Now we're getting upgraded hardware consoles for the consoles we paid $500 in 2013.

That's your fault for buying a larrybox at 500 dollars.

As a long time Sony supporter, I hope NEO fails, and fails hard. It just all seems slimy as hell.

I'm getting to the point where I'm over video game consoles. I'm gonna cop a Wii U just to play the new Zelda, and some older Nintendo games that I've been ignoring and that's a wrap.

It's absolutely what's going on. The industry needs another crash. I don't mind spending money but you gotta give me more reasons than "premium version." The fukk does that even mean? What's the game-plan here? Why not invest dollars in creating new and exciting franchises?

This is what I am trying to get across to @Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha

It can be a 40X leap on paper and it won't feel like a huge jump anymore because the "leaps" are in things that the eye cannot see.

For example in something like GTA V you clearly see how good the game looks, but the real gains outside of the visuals in how smooth things are in terms of loading and persistence.

The Scorpio/NEO better consider jumping to an SSD at launch because that will be a huge leap in terms of the user experience. Fallout 4 and some of those big ass games load like shyt...it gets too damn slow after a while and hurts the overall experience.
This. Take Doom for example, when u die while playing snapmap tha shyt takes forever and a day to load. Its so bad i sold the game, i was banking on riding the wave since i beat the game twice but waiting that long was a deal breaker for me:yeshrug:

How are they not doing that?

Sony is doing that and has always done that..... :dahell:

Aside from a handful of titles, not really. More energy seems to be spent on these stupid ass remasters and lackluster sequels which are nothing more than money grabs...and now to top it all off they introduce another system that's gonna cost hundreds of dollars for no reason. shyt reminding me of Sega CD, and we all seen how that worked out.

I think I may just be over gaming in general, but this generation isn't exciting me at all :manny: I havent even turned on my PS4 since beating UC4.

It looks like both to me. It's supply and demand. People fall into this trap of thinking that just because they don't like it that should mean that everyone else shouldn't. Lots of cats like the remasters whether we like it or not. If people didn't want them, the sales would indicate that. Cats obviously do want em.

And you can't say a handful of titles that Sony develops when every gen they introduce multiple new IPs.

This gen alone on the PS4 (excluding indies)

Knack :smile:
The Order
DriveClub
Bloodborne
Godzilla
Until Dawn
Horizon
Days Gone
The Last Guardian
Detroit: Become Human
Death Stranding
Spiderman

that's FAR from a "handful" of titles. Obviously some are better than others, but you can't say a handful fam.

You're probably just outgrowing gaming to be honest. :yeshrug:

Knack - garbage

The order - garbage

driveclub - garbage

bloodborne - not my thing, but I'll give you that

godzilla - :comeon:

until dawn - not familiar with it

horizon - I'll give you this, I'm looking forward to it

Not familiar with the rest, we'll see how it pans out. Yo forgot no mans sky, but all in all, the field is still not impressive to me, not for what the potential this new gen held going in. It's been 3 years, I feel like I should be turning my PS4 more than just once or twice every few months.

As for remasters, yeah there may be a demand for a few classics to be remastered, but not to the extent that that we are getting. With all the capabilities of what these new consoles can do, we shouldn't be getting so many, that's all I'm saying. It's oversaturated, and it just seems like these devs are taking the easy way out instead of being creative. Then they try to bang you out with DLC on top of that, I mean, is this really what people want?

And if we are talking about demand, who the fukk was demanding a new "upgraded" PS4 that's gonna cost the same as a fresh new console? Nobody.

But yeah, to be honest I outgrew gaming a while ago. I don't have the time to invest so many hours in these MP heavy games, or games like bloodborne that demand time and dedication to truly appreciate and complete. I guess I just have to take the L there, I'm just venting my disappointment because I do enjoy playing videogames when there's something catered to what I'm looking for. It seems like those days are over. Oh well :manny:

Already said some games are better than others, but Driveclub and The Order are not garbage. They may be garbage to you, but others liked it enough.

As far as the new and upgraded PS4, my man @Cladyclad said it best.

It was time for a slim, but Sony realized the cost to manufacture the console specs in the Slim PS4 was cheaper now. So instead of a slim they just packed in more of a punch in the Neo. And I kno more power will benefit PSVR, but Sony is not upgrading the specs on the PS4 for no VR. Standard PS4's already have a mandate on them in terms of performance. It's like Sony went to the store for Eddys ice cream, but seen Hagen Daz on sale and was like:whoo::ehh::yeshrug:

Makes complete sense and is reasonable.

You prob just outgrew games man to where it's not a passion anymore. It happens...
