PlayStation 6: Sony says future platforms ‘top of mind’, exploring ‘new and enhanced’ ways to play

Bluepoint after 5 years of development, Firesprite after 3 years of development, Naughty dog after 3 years of development, Insomniac after 3 years of development, Deviation after 4 years of development and who have now been shutdown, First Strike after 2 years of development, London after 2 years of development and who have now been shutdown.

Bungie also cancelled Operation Payback in 2024. I'll accept that Naughty Dog is different from the others, but it's still wasted development time.

The big problem here imo, is that they pushed studios that have been developing single player games to GaaS.
If these studios were not in a position to develop 2 games in parallel from the beginning, one SP and one GaaS, then they would never be, as GaaS development never really ends.
Yet they had to spend years in development to understand it and cancel them.

I remember there was a comment from ND, that they cancelled Factions when Bungie told them they would have to support it for years and it occurred to them, they would not be able to.

I mean, how the hell didn't you know that?
 


People just have NO concept of the fact that this is a true deep co-creation between Sony and AMD here. This isn't some PR fluff. I'm unsure why the video game media doesn't seem to understand just how big of a deal this project is for both AMD and Playstation. It just seems to blow over people's heads.

Are they not explaining it well enough? Like what's the deal?

Its hard for me to tell anymore what is PR speak and true excitement

I for sure trust Cerny way more than the Xbox team and their AMD collab though which the same guy was hyping last week

Cerny is smarter than anyone Xbox has at this stuff



 
PlayStation Wii?

See here, I don't see any actual thing that MS and AMD are creating that's new. Just sounds like they are talking about making a PC-type of Xbox hardware.

It's mostly PR fluff, Jack Huynh has been the semi-custom division leader since the PS4/Xbox One days, he just wasn't really a public figure back then.

PR
The funny thing is that the content, goals, and promises within both ads (Xbox-AMD and PS-AMD) match almost 1:1....🤷😂

- Co-engineering, custom silicon, ML for graphics and gameplay, IA, a new era of graphics at another level... and they end up saying the same typical "The future of gaming is bright."-

As long as "new and enhanced" doesn't mean some gimmick shit like move controllers or the need for the ever failing psvr. We just need powerful hardware AND better developers that are more creative. I truly believe what is holding gaming back these days as opposed to say, 360/ps3 and earlier, is the change from proprietary hardware, and used to be hand drawn art and in house engines etc.

Nowadays all the hardware is very similar, and with the AAA devs all licensing and using middleware software and engines, a lot of the games are kind of samey, if that makes any sense. Thats why the Souls series stands out, its art, perfect tuning with the action, and the ability to give players wonder of what's going to happen next.

The difference is one company has already produced results from their partnership with AMD, but we're left with more promises from the other to wait for next generation again....

Do you think they've touched penises?
 
Feeling good, skipping the Pro. I bought my PS5 in 2021, and I'm ready for a next-gen system around 2026–2027.

Unlike most people on GAF, I actually enjoyed the PS5 generation quite a bit. There were a lot of 60fps games and the SSD make all the difference — this is probably the generation I bought the most software in.

I think that's largely due to the convenience of digital distribution. Up until the PS4, about 60–70% of my library consisted of physical copies. Now, my PS5 doesn't even have a disc drive.

Same I've had a ton of fun this gen. I got the pro but honestly compared to my other hobbies gaming is dirt cheap.
