shenmoo 3 drops in less than a week, fuck no
for real though, am i excited about what's usually a series of terrible launch lineups and lackluster year 1 offerings? no, that's the most boring part of the cycle

Yes, been in the biz since I was 8, now 40..and just not cutting it. Some of the blockbuster releases these last few months have kept my attention for a matter of days.
Like a junkie, I keep chasing that immersion.. 4k tvs.. Calibrated HDR... Studio reference sound systems.. And everytime I m left hollow... I hope next gen can fix this otherwise my internal gaming system is broken....

Switch is a great system with some great games but when I get burnt out on games I think its because I play to much.

Kinda. Nothing exciting is being made anymore, the RPG genre is completely dead. It's just an utter holding pattern at this point.
Absolutely not. I actually feel as though I've regained my stride these past 6 months or so. I finally got off mobile gaming and have been playing the shit out of my Switch pretty much every day.
If anything I'd say I'm not even that hype for next gen cuz I'm so invested in my Switch.

So you're tired of the low quality visuals and performance that PS4 is offering, definitely get a Switch. What a total upgrade in that respect!
Dude just get a PC and be done with "generations", or just keep sheeping along.
I'm starting to get to the point where I'm not impressed by current-gen graphics anymore. Jedi Fallen Order doesn't wow me at all.
I loved my PS4 this generation, but I can finally see it start creak. Next gen is coming at the perfect time, find myself thinking about the PS5 everytime I boot the PS4 up, can't wait for proper BC, lightning fast SSD, and hopefully performance enchantments for older games.
Oh, and the next gen games which will probably blow us away.

This. I just want to play good games, I wouldn't mind staying in the current gen for the next 30 years as long as good games kept being produced. Graphically, games like Death Stranding are already impressive enough for me.
Not while I'm playing Death Stranding no, seems perfectly suitable for next-gen. And while graphics are important, nowadays I'm more interesting in innovation elsewhere. Outer Wilds seemed more ahead than a lot of big games this gen.
I'm looking forward to next gen but realistically I'm also in no rush for it, there's plenty of games I haven't played yet that I want to. If I was burnt out by the current gen stuff right now then I'd probably have to admit to being burnt out on gaming in general.
Nope, just got into Pokémon, loving it, still playing The Outer Worlds loving that as well, trying to finish up Mario and Rabbids with the kids too enjoying it a lot. I have a PC too so I don't see how a new generation would do much for my excitement besides possibly not having to deal with 30fps again, if we're lucky.
Nah, but it used to be as you neared the end of a console lifecycle, that's when you saw the best of the best, because developers knew the hardware inside and out. To a certain extent, that's still true, but it's not as distinct as before. I *am* excited to see the new consoles though. While I think Scarlett is going to be more iterative, I think the PS5 will be a more significant change, and I hope BC is a much bigger focus than it has been on PS4. But we'll see.
I usually lose interest while waiting for a particular game. Not a whole gen. There's always stuff I want to play. If I'm bored, a more powerful solution isn't the answer.
Hell no. In fact I'm probably not going to jump into next gen until I have a really good reason to. There's tons upon tons of stuff left to go through this gen.
I didn't purchase a current-gen console before late 2016 so no. I understand that the base consoles are showing their age now with some games, late 2021 for next gen would sill be ok for me.
console gens really don't matter to me anymore since i don't really have solid blocks of time to put into games these days. That said phone/mobile games have come a long way and it's great to see new stuff come out that I can still slot in.
Xcloud and likely more instantaneous on overall will absolutely make it easier for me to pick up and play games next gen though -- it def makes playing on Switch feasible.

I've gotten to a point now where I'm happy with the way games look and if the development community came out tomorrow and promised current AAA visuals at 4k/60 as next gen then I'd be perfectly happy staying with the Pro / X at 1440/1800/2160p at 30fps.
I feel like I can just enjoy games now without worrying about technical stuff.
In short next gen is all well and good but it's probably just going to be the same games we have now only prettier.

i mean the last few games ive played are Death Stranding, Luigi's Mansion 3, Return of the Obra Dinn, and Outer Worlds. None of those have a similar look or feel and they all felt conceptually unique and refreshing (aside from outer worlds) compared to anything else in many years.
These are all non-PC-exclusive console games released in the last two years that are truly spectacular & unique experiences. I have intentionally omitted anything that has you firing guns as the main character. I have also omitted anything that is a sequel ... unless it was a significant deviation (see God of War, Celeste). These are all games that I would suggest under those criteria and are all wildly different from one another. They also have a wide variety of beautiful styles and artwork. If this list below doesn't scratch your boredom of both gameplay and visual effects for the end of this console life, you might just need to take a several-week break from gaming altogether.
