PS5 and Xbox Series speculation launch thread |OT9| - For flops sake!

If you don't make exclusives for the device then all you get are cross-gen games made to look a little nicer on the new console. Sounds a lot like a refresh.
This statement is incredibly wrong, in every way imaginable. They're all x86 machines now, "generations" aren't a thing as much as bumping up your targeted specs. They're all just pc's and you can scale accordingly.
Definitely, there are always a bunch of reasons that people consider when deciding on whether to upgrade. I just think when a PS3 owner was considering to upgrade to PS4, the next gen exclusives weren't the top priority - or else they would have sold better. I just think a factor people weigh more heavily when deciding whether to upgrade is their desire to play superior versions of their favorite games; Call of Duty, GTA, etc.
So after the year of crossgen is over it automatically becomes next gen? How does this work?
Well in 2013 the console was supply constrained, so maybe they weren't able to buy it at the very beginning of the generation. Also, and this is kind of my point, maybe the games that they jumped in for were not next gen exclusives, but were cross gen games.

You don't have to think the same way, but that's how I feel about it.
It's a next-gen system playing last-gen games, sounds like Xbox One X.
no electronic device should be using glossy plastic. shit only looks good the first time you open the box. if you want gloss, it better be glass.
Yeah, that's pretty much how it's going to be on the MS side at least now. A sliding window of games compatibility as developers' needs change as the technology changes. No reason for walls if they aren't necessary. Let developers decide what their games need and then determine which devices can accommodate that idea. Lots of indie games could target current gen consoles for many years to come and having an easy to target list of devices on a single marketplace seems like a fairly nice to have capability.
Even if you consider crossgen games to be "last gen" it's only for a year. So again, what happens when the Xbone is no longer supported? Does it become a true next gen system then?
This is so strange lol
Smelling like 2013 more and more every week. Think it's time to head out, until we can get some real updates again lol.
Will third party games count as nextgen games if they release on PC and last gen? Or will a PC version automatically make it last gen?
Do we need a separate box to discern what is next-gen or will buying the same game a second absolve the difference?
We're going to need a FAQ.
So when MS stops porting xb1 games to XSX, the XSX will become a next gen device rather than a refresh?
And this is regardless of any third party XSX games that aren't ports from xb1?
I bet it will require SSD to play. PC gamers will have to upgrade to keep up.
No way they skipped the PS4 if the SSD wasn't vital. It doesn't make sense.
Of course it makes sense to claim that this game is only possible on next gen because of marketing. Good thing is that on PC we will see how this game requires an SSD because people will run it on an HDD ;)
What that does mean you will realise after first PS5 Exclusive Footage is out...
I don't know. Matte Black isn't a good look either (though PS4 Pro was pretty slick).
It's not unheard of for developers to place restrictions in a game, which come part of the game design, that carries over regardless of what specs you have so that the game can scale to lower-end hardware.
So they skipped 106M potential user just to say our game needs SSD when in reality it doesn't need to?
Yeah that makes no sense.
I agree this will be a good test to see how the SSD claims hold true.
What is a next gen game anyway? Or last gen game? Was the The Witness a current gen game when it was released? What about games like Minecraft? How is GTAV not a current gen game although it released on last gen systems?
I think the distinction between last gen, current gen and next gen will be more and more arbitrary, with bc anyway.
No need for exaggerations, they can still look good, but they will be noticly inferior in scale to true next gen Games
It does make sense. KZSF sold more than a million in the end while not being a game that set the world on fire because it was a game that was marketed properly by Sony for next gen. The exclusivity deal also brought cash in from Sony and as we know Sony wants to have next gen exclusive games, to the point that they even pay for it for third party games.
Shinobi already stated that Godfall doesnt represent how games will look on PS5.
Dont play Games with me.
I think you perfectly well understood my point. Which is that they will indeed look better simply because of much bigger scale.. dont forget that 32Mibyte of eSRAM ...
That alone will cripple XBOX X and gaming PCs ..
So we'll revise his post then..
" What that does mean you will realise after second or third PS5 Exclusive Footage is out... "
I see, the truth is hard to swallow for some...
Godfall is not an PS5 Exclusive and what we saw already was not portrait as such.
GT 7 will do ...
There are games that get revealed 1.5+ years before they actually come out. So there is no reason to believe that there can't be XSX/PC only games that get revealed at E3 (or any other reveal event MS has planned). We could see games that don't end up coming out until Fall 2021-early 2022 that would fall outside of Matt Booty's 1-2 year window.
What year are you expecting GT 7 to come out?
Anyways, I was joking about the Godfall thing, just took your post literally; I know what you meant.
Dont know and dont care. All I know it will all look amazing no point to argue. I will be there on Day One but still disappointed if the 36/40 CUs is true.
Ok?
Shit can't wait I expect all games to look way better then hellblade 2 I'm excited
Okay fair enough.. ;)
I would assume they have it ready for launch. Or 2021..
