Re: Poll: Would You Pay $1,000 for a PS6?

@LogicStrikesAgain I think it's going to be a REALLY hard sell for the vast majority of games to convince them to spend $1,000 on a system that will play almost the exact same games.

@LogicStrikesAgain You won't have to. No one HAS to have the latest and greatest hardware to play 99.9999% of games. Here's the reality of the gaming industry right now. Most studios can't afford to make games that won't run on modern hardware. If they can't afford to make a game that can only run on next-gen hardware, then current-gen hardware will be able to. Think of it like this: if a base PS5 can run GTA 6, and it can, then everything else less graphically intensive than GTA 6 will also run on a base PS5, or even a Switch 2, for heaven's sake. I can run the vast majority of my Steam library on my Steam Deck, and even my Retroid Pocket 6. New games can and will run on current hardware.

You are fine with what you already have if you own anything that can run a video game.

@wildcat_kickz Imagine a PS5, but with slightly better graphics, worse customer relations, and fewer games. That's probably what a PS6 will be like, since that was basically the difference between a PS4 and a PS5.

I don't know what's dumber, buying a $1,000 PS6 (especially after the wet fart of a generation that the PS5 turned out to be), or going into debt in installments for a $1,000 PS6.

Re: Poll: 10 Years Later, Is Persona 5 a True JRPG Masterpiece?

I was late and didn't play it until just a couple of years ago. It's easily one of the best games I've ever played. It's so good that I've gone on to play several Atlus games, and I can't wait to play the P4 remake and P6. I've also played several JRPG that I wouldn't have if P5 hadn't taught me how much I enjoy that style and pacing of game. The art direction is perfect, and I've used it several times as a reference for my students at the university where I teach a graphic design class.

Re: 'This Is Unsustainable Madness': Modern Video Game Budgets Are Out of Control

I feel like we all saw this coming from a mile away. I think this is why this generation will be the longest... possibly ever. Games that require the latest and most powerful hardware are too expensive to make anyway. Frankly, the most innovative and imaginative games these days are usually coming from little indie studios, and their games can usually run on a paper weight. This, plus RAM-ageddon, and AAA gaming is going to either need to completely change or it's going to become a thing of the past.
