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.
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.
I just can't imagine investing years of my life into something, and then it never see the light of day. I feel awful for developers who are shut down or their games cancelled after years of committing their energy to them.
@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.

I'm not smart enough for these games. I couldn't solve the second puzzle in the demo for the original.

Re: PS5 Power Saver Yet Again Tipped as PS6 Handheld 'Trojan Horse'
This handheld is going to be a monstrosity, which to my preferences completely defeats the purpose of a portable form factor.

@AgentMantis because the United States owns the world, of course. Haven't you been paying attention?
