Yes. We'll finally have more power to not have it all absorbed by 60FPS and RT.

Yes, I'm eager to place a new set of plastic boxes under my TV to start collecting dust in no time for the following 8 years

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Generations mean nothing nowadays. You'll get a new console that has slightly better graphics and cross-gen games for most of the gen.

Not really. But I'll be there in the first 6 months for sure. I'm still in the camp that PS5 Pro was not needed if they are aiming for a 2027/2028 release.

It does. It means your previous console will be less and less supported with some new games won't be accessible unless you buy new hardware.

If this gen was anything to go by, not particularly.

The next gen of consoles will finally reach performance levels where developers can make stuff like rtgi and virtual geometry systems the norm which would eliminate most of my issues with classic game visuals.
So yeah, I'm "hyped'. I won't buy them ofc because I'm on PC, but I really want that general hardware progress in the industry.

Obviously.
I would prefer a refresh every 4-5 years. That way consoles won't lag behind severely.
Though it also means jump wont be as big, am OK with that.

The generations have lost meaning really.
We can already see what next-gen games will look like right now on PC.
Naturally I wanna play the best possible version of my favourite games on a console, so I'd probably pick up a PS6 in 2027 if it launched then.
But it's not the same excitement anymore because basically all games will be cross-gen and just scaled up and down visual settings and features.

Interesting take, didn't think of it like that. My take is to have a siginificant performance jump when a new console comes out.

Yes. A hardware boost is always nice.
This gen was great with the standardization of 60fps and fast loading on console.
Now next gen with stronger hardware and better upscaling tech should be able to push visual fidelity without having to murder the IQ and/or frame rate in the process.
For better or worse stuff like UE5 and advanced ray tracing are here to stay. And I don't want to play every game at sub 1080p resolution with FSR1-2 (or 30fps)

No, diminishing returns has kicked in.

Console manufacturers wait out a bit longer so the jump makes upgrading almost compulsory.
I understand the reasoning, marketing becomes a whole lot easier.
But looking at PC side of things, it moves at quiet a speed. Consoles simply lag behind for last 2-3 yrs.

lol, not a chance. Maybe if my oldest son wants a PS6 a couple years in I'll consider it, I don't want it at all for myself and he won't care about upgrading right away (plus I'm sure Sony will do a long cross gen period again)

I'll never not look forward to new hardware, that's just been one of my favorite cycles since I was a kid. I do think next gen will be the last "necessary" gen for a while though. Cross gen is gonna last forever with the hardware shit going on so next gen will most likely just be a way to play current gen games at 4k60 or 4k120 with enhanced RT thanks to ML upscaling and framegen with the occasional next gen exclusive really showing off.

I wonder who defines that. Maybe it's just the games you want haven't been there this generation. Otherwise there's a serious problem if people think this 6 years into a lifecycle, regardless of COVID.

Yea all that wasted power on 60fps. What an insane comment to read for a first reply.

Yup, the sooner the better.

Not really looking forward to it. Today buying consoles feels like a waste of money. I got a PS5 but hardly bought any games for it I use it mainly to play Final Fantasy 14. Similar to Switch 2 which I just use to play my Switch games.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Not sure but it doesn't look like there's a choice, lol.

I may get one for the kids eventually, but I've got no desire after this gen. I play PC nearly exclusively, but I had at least 25 games on PS4. I might have 4 or 5 PS5 exclusives this gen.
And don't say it's because Sony put all their games on PC--I haven't bought a Sony game for PC since Days Gone. This gen has been an utter disappointment for fans of Sony's single player games.

i got a PS5 for GTA VI....still waiting.
played 2 games on it that aren't even PS exclusives. the PS5 has just been for me to play games because I don't want to wait for the PC version of games (final fantasy vii remake, death stranding 2)
we definitely ain't getting a new GTA after VI until at least 2039 so yeah.... i will happily skip PS6 and PS7 lmao.

I'll be there day 1, probably not on both this time unlike last time because I'm far less confident MS is still in gaming for the right reasons, but either way I've never been less hyped for another generation because there's pretty much fuck all wrong with things as they are right now. New generations always bring good improvements, but each time it's less and less of a leap bringing jaw-dropping differences and this won't be any different, just continue the tailing off of the curve.

I'm hyped for next-gen, but I still think it would be better if they waited till 2028.
The Cockatrice
I'm retarded?
2029 you mean.
What power if all games will keep carry on with cross-gen releases, lmao, I barely played anything worth it on PS5, can't imagine how lame the PS6 library is gonna be...

No. Not at all. Currently I don't believe there's anything a PS6 could give me that I can't currently get from my PS5 Pro (after the PSSR 2 patch). I would love to be proven wrong.

"Hyped" is too strong a word. At the moment I'm mildly interested in seeing what the next gen brings about. I kinda feel like it's just going to be a PS5 Pro Pro - I'll be able to play the same games at higher resolution/framerate and maybe with more ray tracing. If it can do path tracing at a decent res/fps, that'd be cool. I'm sure I'll end up getting one, as I'm super excited for The Witcher 4 and I'm sure it'll have a nice next-gen version.
