I was thinking of the Dualsense when I wrote that too
. I don't have a PS5 but it is one selling feature that I would love to try. I love "gimmicks." I remember loving stuff like the Gameboy Camera, Nintendogs and the DS touch concept, 3D, VR, Gyro controls with Splatoon, HD rumble, motion controls, Ring Fit Adventure, etc. The way we game has essentially been the same since the PS2. I get kind of heated about it too.
Gamers are consumers. We dont know what we want. Thats why we turn to artists, auteurs and geniuses to wow us. The problem with the current marketplace is that GaaS is all about player engagement where the players not the creator define what gets in the game. Then you have single player games being designed by committees to maximize hours played which results in more open worlds, more formulaic design, more of what execs and suits determine will get the most sales.
It's funny the guy was shitting all over it when even the most staunch xbox fanboys were praising it. But the problem is he aint alone in this, I have seen PS gamers actually calling it a gimmick. I am like you, I absolutely love gimmicks, I love tech, gadgets, innovative stuff, cool patents etc. Like now, every kid and his grandmother are making fun of Apple and their Pro Vision headset, I, on the other hand, am very intrigued by what it does and going to do and very excited about it. Yes, it seems like we are hitting this dystopian phase ala Black Mirror, but I love that stuff. Nothing cooler than getting absolutely annihilated by AI in the futureI was thinking of the Dualsense when I wrote that too

has been proselytizing for...years?
Kojima has disappointed me. He made DS from scratch in 3.5 years with a small team of 85 devs initially working out of his basement. Its been 3.5 years since DS released and all we have seen is a short teaser. I hope its just a big ambitious sequel like zelda which is why its taking so long. I honestly got zelda all wrong because it looked the same from trailers but its the most ambitious sequel ive played since MGS2. not even Uncharted 2 and AC2 were this big a leap. i hope kojima is doing something similar with DS which is why its taking so long.It's funny the guy was shitting all over it when even the most staunch xbox fanboys were praising it.

I thank God we have people like Kojima who doesn't give a shit about anyone and anything and only does what he wants and what he thinks aligns with his vision. Everyday I read an article about how he is trying to elevate the visuals and artistry as well as the acting of Death Stranding 2 to new heights. He is the one who is keeping my hopes alive honestly, and he will be the one to keep other devs on their toes and I absolutely love it.
Neil Druckmann, as much a we like to hate on the guy, is also a visionary and does what he thinks is artistic; now whether we agree with him or not that's another matter, but the guy is artistic and a visionary and always pushes the boundaries of what we think is impossible. Honestly, bar TLOU1 remake, ND had never let us down ever before and I reckon it will continue to be like that. TLOU1 started off as a cross-gen effort by another team who couldn't even complete the project. My only beef is him calling it the best looking thing he ever saw thus insulting our intelligence in the process which I absolutely despise.
Also the bolded part, like why do people call out others who call for innovation? like dude, you will also benefit from said innovation we are calling for, why are you against it? shit baffles me honestly. Like I aint the only one who is going to benefit from these innovations we are asking for, you melon will benefit too. Weird behavior, it's like these people are programmed to attack anyone who calls out their favorite dev and game.
My dream is to have the Zelda devs join the PS family and have access to a powerful console like the PS5 with unlimited resources to do whatever the hell they want. It's the stuff wet dreams are made of.
The last time i led a team, Cerny ensured team 14 tflops crashed and sunk like the titanic. Trust me, you dont want to be on this boat.I have seen the light. I now understand and agree with what
These current gen games are PS4/XBONE games running at higher framerates and resolutions that weren't possible on last gen, sure, but framerate and resolution aren't what gave me WOW moments like Super Mario 64 & Crysis.
I want another WOW moment, and the last one that came close was Demons Souls Remake on PS5. I thought that was a launching pad for what would come next and instead, it's still a high-water mark.

I’ve always said in this thread that Miles Morales is a beast when it comes to graphics. its one of the best looking games out, but a built from the ground up PS5 only Spiderman 2 should look way better than what we’ve seen IMO.
I think Cerny just went with the most asked for feature by devs and that’s a blazing fast SSD. He did mention that was the number one feature devs were asking for and the highest on every devs list, so he delivered!
We've already seen next-gen graphics from a third-party multiplatform engine

Hope devs are paying you to cover for them.
Rebirth looks great. 7 remake on ps5 already looks better than many next gen gamesWhat was posted is Next gen for sure, PS6 ofcourse.
And I agree, Fortnite is doing a great job at showcasing what's possible on PS5
I think FF7 Rebirth looks better though.

Like forspoken?
Matrix was running real-time on ps5 my man. Every cutscene save for one shot of trinity multiplying was rendered in real-time..I was talking about how a 10x increase isn't as big as people think for since years ago, but now that game are coming ot that aren't up to people expectations I'm covering for devs.
even
Literally set pre rendered CGI footage, rendered in minutes per frame on super computers should be totally doable with PS5. But he still manages to pretend his expectations of the hardware are totally reasonable and if you don't agree you are shilling for devs and being satisfied by PS4 graphics instead of practicing the art of having more than 2 braincells.
No, we just expect The Matrix Awakens quality visuals…
A third party tech demo made by a couple dozen people humilliates all first party games on both next-gen consoles and all you can say about it is:What was posted is Next gen for sure, PS6 ofcourse.

Forspoken looks great
Nah dude. Matrix demo was downloadable and it was more impressive than first two UE5 demos. The problem isn't the hardware, it's the gaming industry that plays it more and more safe these days. Publishers are more focused on maximising profit and there's no better way to do that than recycle old assets in old engines and charge you $70. The fact that previous and current gen hardware are similar in their architecture has only aided this cause. Eventually publishers and devs will have to embrace current gen and update their tech so from our point of view we can only stay patient as this madness slowly comes to an end. People should learn from this though and expect next gen (PS6/SeriesXX) to be even more held back as current gen consoles are capable to hang around much longer when next cross gen period starts.
Also not comparable to any real game.
Is this not where A.I. comes in? You set the parameters of what you want and the engine/a.i. basically gives you a highly detailed city block and then you only need a small team of artists to go in and "fix" it, some of the stuff A.I. can do artistically now is off the fucking wall
There is a slight difference between just creating some pictures and correctly creating highly complex assets that can be imported into the necessary tools and being worked with.
Well that might actually be a solution, yes.

I took some screenshots from the new 4K AW2 B roll footage and it doesn't look anything special tbh. The characters look great and the environments are nicely detailed but its not doing something we haven't seen before. Also it has tons of motion blur and FSR artefacts.
It's not a very popular series otherwise everyone would have lost their minds over it by now
And? They have the budget.
Exactly!
there is something in the way Naughty Dog animate their games, that even a true next gen game will never touch.
