Honestly that's what I want. Give me a beefier PS4 with back compat on the level that Xbox has and I'm good. Anything else is what my PC is for and Switch fills that 'interesting' niche

Platinum boss Atsushi Inaba unimpressed by PS5/Scarlett: "It's more of the same"

Jesus @ the defensive replies attacking him. Why do we have to react this way?
In any case, he's not wrong. I personally don't mind it so much given it ultimately means we get consoles that tend to be cheaper and more reliable, and that still provide really amazing results. But part of me does miss the days of gen 7, when Nintendo brought on motion controls, and the consoles had crazy proprietary tech.

Something like state share, yeah that is still Google though.
Also, everyone saw what happened with the PS3. Sony lost billions. It was a real-life case study of what NOT to do lol.
mid-gen upgrade? I don't think so.
Consoles do not need to have custom processors and gpus. That hinders optimization across them and pc and can make for some terrible ports.
I don't follow.. is he referring to the games themselves or game development? progression in games from PS1->PS2->PS3 didn't happen because of costume chips or lack thereof
On the other hand the Switch uses off the shelf parts but it's the most refreshing use of hardware in years
I don't really get his point because he specifically talks about chips etc

More power leads to new ideas that couldn't have been done before.
My take as well
Gimmicks and custom hardware are NOT worth the trade offs
Sounds like this guy should get into VR development then. Thats where the frontier is
Where's this shit that "stadia is something completely unique" coming from when it's just running on servers using the exact same off the shelf parts that consoles/PCs use?
If you're gonna argue that it's because it's delivered over the internet (a vastly inferior delivery method compared to my HDMI cable), then my PS4's Remote Play already does that. Literally all Stadia does compared to that is put the box in another location. Incredible custom-built innovations.
Edit: The Switch Joycons and especially PSVR are far more innovative than Stadia or any other streaming service.

I guess if you're a great programmer it's easier to stand out with custom hardware because you figure it out quicker and squeeze more out of it.
I thought Stadia was mostly preexisting AMD stuff though, or are they paying AMD for semi custom?

I want to make some kind of quip revolving around Nier: Automata's Route B, but maybe I should bite my tongue.
Well sure they're probably just more powerful x86 machines, but next gen I think will be defined by services, not raw power.

Dude says thing is more of the same. I laugh because his company does more of the same. Get over it fanboy.
The consumers spoke when Microsoft tried to do new stuff with the Xbox One. They went for the simpler but more powerful and cheaper PS4. Now Microsoft is too scared to make anything more than the most powerful custom PC they can for the price. They won't even touch VR on console.
Congratulations, gamers. You got what you wanted.
(speaking as someone who loved the Kinect 2.0 and the potential it had and now can no longer pretend I'm Tom Cruise in Minority Report because of you..... Grrrrrrr)

2013 Microsoft says nobody wants gimmicks or changing it up at all

It's really not if you lived the console mania in the 90s early 00s.
A new console used to be a much bigger deal than what it is now.
How does streaming not equal more raw power than a fixed console?
There's not much reason to use custom chips and different architectures.
We live in an API and Generalized built Engines world now. Various layers to simplify and compartmentalize various concepts. That's a good thing because the bottleneck nowadays isn't at the hardware but with devtimes, anything that helps to simplify the process is good.

Dude wants exotic hardware. Dude has forgotten Bayonetta PS3 debacle. Then again Platinum didn't develop that version internally. Then again question becomes, why didn't they develop it internally.
Edit: if he wants to be challenged by new hardware, perhaps he should make games for VR.

Lots of ruffled feathers in here lol
This. Dude is completely blind to how the industry has changed over the last 25 years. I just don't understand what he's expecting in the computer hardware sphere to be exciting. Being excited for streaming for the sake of it being different is ridiculous in my eyes.
Ah yeah Kinect 2.0 , what a glorious device that 0 of launch games actually supported.
Or something like share play or virtual reality on PlayStation 4. We don't know what Sony/Microsoft has cooking for next-gen.
To be fair, you're not wrong. Although I don't mind their games. It's usually just more of the same.
He's not wrong.
The Playstation and XBOX consoles usually are just "more power" than the previous generation. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing "impressive" either, kinda expected.

He's obviously speaking a fan of the industry.
There was something special of previous exotic tech, from the N64 to the Dreamcast, to the PS2. There were tons of speculative magazine articles on the custom hardware of those systems.
We've lost that today.
Don't get me wrong, PC hardware is better for game development and cost, but the whole WOW factor for mega geeks is gone. That's how I read his statement. He's not critical of the machines.

I think its foolish to ask for unique architectures that will probably disrupt already-made tools and workflows. Sure, as a nerd you might want a new toy to puzzle out and struggle with, but your general employees probably just want to get on with making cool games.
