So, graphics is basically your argument?

The Switch has a very unique place with the portability aspect, so that makes a difference. However the cost to produce the games is the same, moreso in some cases where they have to have extra staff in for the engine/assets changes.

In any case, do you think Cyberpunk should be £10 on the ps4/xbone? Or should the PC version be £100 as it's at least 10x as good?


I do agree with the overall point that it's annoying they hold their value and also that the publishers take the piss at times, but not with your assertion that it's purely down to "worst version" being graphically.

Indeed the switch versions obviously costs a lot more to do but that's not the problem of the consumer. That would be the cause of a death spiral in most organisations (sub-optimal product at higher prices) but Nintendo are Nintendo.

And to be fair, Apple and Apple

I get where you are coming from, but think of it logically too. I mean PC games are much cheaper on the whole than their console counterparts, yet are nearly always vastly superior. If even for mod support alone. So do we expect PS5/SX games to drop in price, Series S games further, and PC games to raise in price?

I think the issue is more the 3rd party publishers getting away with the switch releases way down the line when the same games are already on sale on other machines. But we disagree on it being a problem of the consumer, it obviously is. I mean even if we don't go into expectations and want the people want from their games, at the very basic level they continue to buy the bloody things!

For example, if I think a game release on the Switch or anything else is overpriced, I don't pay and I wait.
 
I would say I expected more from XBox this time around..... But I'd be lying. I'll reappraise in 12 months....

Crashes - mostly PS5 but some on XSS|X
Storage - mostly a problem on PS5
Back Compat - far better on XSX
NEW gen Games - Much better on PS5 in quality, quantity and Performance
Removal of existing features - mostly a problem on PS5
Controller - PS5 takes it

Biggest feck up - easily XSS|X

They needed to hit it out the park at launch and haven't done so. They have one system selling game that everyone is tired of and has been delayed until late 2021

PS5 takes the crown

What’s the games? You got one probably. Sackboy barely counts as next gen. Miles is an updated add on.

As for feck ups - our ps5 thread alone has been full of them. It’s a piece of shit. Workarounds for this. Workarounds for that. This thing isn’t working. Don’t do this or it might brick your console :lol:

Let’s not forget the gimmicks on your controller that people are already asking how to turn off.

Ps5 takes a crown made of turds. They’ll all no doubt be in a landfill this time next year.

Yeah because there is only you who has bought the Xbox :lol: you wouldn't even tell us if it blew up and caused a fire.

Dunno what you mean by the first bit. Going off what I’ve seen all over the internet.

I’ve literally not had a single issue with mine, other than quick resume didn’t seem to be working for a little bit.

No need to get defensive. You guys are troubled.

There is no doubt the Xbox is the better machine at this stage, but the Xbox just doesn't have any new gen games

Gears 5, Horizon 4, Sea of Thieves, Gears Tactics are as next gen as Miles Morales.

The only one that stands out is Demon Souls. Sony planned things well - a remake, and what is essentially an expansion (short story using the exact same world as a previously released game? They couldn't have done that with almost anything else)

Obviously Astrobot is great for the short time you'll play with it, but it's not 'next gen' the same way those Kinect games weren't on the Xbox One.

Neither machine has much from a proper next gen perspective, as is true at the start of every gen.

That's a weird take to be honest. Everyone I know who played Astro was blown away by it. If that doesn't constitute next gen then what does?

I think I've put a good 7 or 8 hours into it too so it's not just some tech demo either, it's a decent sized game.
 
Who gives a shit how much a console sells? If you’re happy with the console you’ve got then what does it matter? I’ve never bought something and thought oh feck loads more people are buying this thing I better get rid and buy that one.

Yeah to be fair, neither console has a bunch of next-gen games.

PS5 has Astros playroom though, Demon Souls and Ratchet and Clank coming out.

I loved Astros too. It's great for its use of the tech rather than being a great platformer, that isn't to say it's not great. I doubt people would have bought it if it wasn't a pack in though, and I think any impact on sales is for the potential it shows in the controller rather than the game itself.

Whether it's 'next gen' or not isn't something I personally really care about to be honest. I guess you couldn't play it on old gen due to the controller so fair enough.

Yeah I find it funny that people always say the "best" version is what has the best graphics. Switch games are portable which could easily be used to say they're the "best" version, too.


Anyway, the reason Nintendo games never, or rarely, drop in price is because they sell, simple. Animal Crossing on Switch sold more copies in six months than any Playstation game has ever sold, in any time period.

And even then it's not the best selling Switch game.
 
By the way, this is their big ‘next gen’ game they’ve not stopped mentioning :lol:



woah super next gen that, I’ve really missed out

And talking about games coming, Xbox has Flight Simulator by the Summer and that'll be the most 'next gen' game on either console
 
clutching at straws comes to mind from the last page or so.

Series X runs worse in what 90%ish of the games on both platforms, has no killer game, nvm games at launch.

but we have Microsoft Flight simulator to look forward to.

Come back in 2 years time it may be a different playing field then for now apart from on these forums, its rare the xbox is even mentioned its all PS5 when and how can i get one.

@VeevaVee how is the new COD on Xbox?
 
Flight Sim looks genuinely class, so no clutching at straws there.

No killer game but an absolutely killer app/value prop in Gamepass. Even before the consoles came out that had grown from 10 to 15m in 6 months, and of the consoles sold so far there was a 70% attach rate which is insane (for those of you that care about sales numbers..)

Fair choice mate

There are some incredible games on Gamepass that you'd love, though I appreciate you are more about physical media and less subscriptions so model probably isn't for you. But games like Ori, Call of the Sea, Haven and so on..

It’s looks bang average Olly, come on. It certainly doesn’t look next gen in any way other than slightly nicer graphics, which are very similar to AC’s

let’s just say if the Xbox had demons souls on launch and the ps5 people threw out but we have flight simulator coming the responses would be ridicule.
 
People not on Xbox look past gamepass and it's routinely glossed over on this forum, but it's the most killer thing on any console, and it's only really once you have it that you 'get' it

Best thing about PS5 for me has been the PS+ Collection, if Sony actually add to it and it wasn't just a launch perk or a token gamepads competitor then great.

A collection of top quality games that I can access at any point is worth far more to me than having to spend £50-70 on a single experience.

I wish Switch had something similar, and would happily pay £10+ a month for it.

To be fair @Alock1 has finished more Sony games than the PS fanboys on here.

Also nothing wrong with Flight Simulator.

I’ve had game pass on pc great value for money and good for catching up on old titles, but if you frequently bought games before it was a thing what is there really left to play.

The appeal for me from game pass would be to get it again in 3/4 years for a month and smash through the Xbox only games I missed.

So what? People are stupid.

It looks fecking great, and from reviewers and those that have bought it, lives up to that.

There was a research analyst group recently whose findings suggested there'll be 2 million sales on PC in next few years which would lead to $2bn+ in hardware sales. And I can play it on my X without spending a penny thanks to gamepass. Cracking stuff.

Well with the 20+ studios Xbox now has there should be a constant stream of new first party content added.

The third party additions recently have been really strong. Control, Yakuza collection and then great indies like Call of the Sea. Not forgetting the whole EA Play library.

Yeah, the whole downloading/subscription thing is defo good just not for me. Much rather get a game once or twice a year and get proper into that than go through a whole bunch of them on some server.

It looks great. Maybe there are games with better graphics, that are better technically and all that bollocks that sounds fancy on Digital Foundry videos, but it still looks great and it's nice to see big "AAA" games on non-Nintendo consoles where gameplay is the main focus in a sea of silly stuff where it seems validation of the hobby and being taken seriously is the goal over having a fun time.

Well...

There are rumours that the Demon Souls remake could see a PS4 launch, which (even if it doesn't) if there is any truth that they developed it for both consoles, it's not a proper Next Gen game (using my definition that a "proper" next game is a one that cannot run on last-gen hardware).

It's also a (ground up) remake of a PS3 game. A really good PS3 game, but a PS3 game. The level design will be a PS3 game.



All that being said, as far as I can tell, it's an actual bonafide next-gen title. And the PS3 title has not aged well :lol:
