Re: Sudden Steam Deck Price Increase Pins More Questions on PS6

To me, it would be absolutely psychotic to release the PS6 any time soon. I'm thinking 2030 at the very earliest. It just doesn't need to exist. The PS5 is plenty powerful. Developing for that level of processing and fidelity is already resource and time intensive enough. And the PS5 doesn't have nearly enough games to cement any sort of legacy because Sony idiotically went all in on live service which literally anyone could have told them was an enough idea. I don't see anyone interested in shelling out bare minimum $600 for a console that probably won't have any games for three years anyway.

Re: Low-Poly Stealth Throwback Revives PS1 Metal Gear Solid Vibes for PS5

I have it on Switch. It has been patched a few times, which has helped some launch issues. The basic issue with the game though is the structure. Levels are randomly generated from the same asset set, which is basically the opening area of Shadow Moses. Then there a few mission types, which are retrieve a thing or essentially take out some guards. I'm glad I got it, but you'll only be motivated to play if you really enjoy the gameplay, which admittedly is decent.

@rjejr agreed. I'm not even sure the PS5 needs to exist beyond the SSD. I still don't own one. The value proposition just isn't there for me, especially now. I truly believe we don't need a PS6 for another... 5 years? Game development is already too expensive. Higher poly counts aren't going to make it any cheaper, and they're not going to make games any better either. Technology hardware has advanced as far as it needs to, in my opinion. Now they should focus on bringing down the cost of hardware parts, innovate manufacturing, and develop efficient development tools.
