  What are you talking about? There’s a new remake or remaster every other day!

  So many resources wasted on live service projects that got canceled or flopped, that’s why

  Yeah, I've been watching from the sidelines and still haven't seen anything that moves the needle sufficiently.

  Where are the games?!

    They all take seven years to make, so there aren’t as many of them.

      Yeah. The PS2 got three GTAs, GTA V got three consoles.

        I take this as a comparison sometimes. Also the PS2 got five GTAs, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories were released on PS2 too. The PS3 and Xbox 360 got two GTAs, and everything after got remasters. PS5 will probably get GTA 6, so GTA skipped the PS4/Xbox One generation.

      Unfortunately they're not significantly more fun despite that.

        There have been some great games with development times that long. But for crying out loud, if you’re not making a surefire success, make a smaller game so it’s less risky.

  if you're not really there for it then sure, but i got a ps5 for ff7 remake, kh3 and ff16 and i personally think I got my money's worth. loved every goddamn second.

  it helped that I got p5r and expedition 33 as well, what a beaut of a bonus they were

    They might mean exclusives, of which none of those apply. But I personally don’t think exclusives are a good thing anyway.

      FF7 Remake, Rebirth and FF16 were timed exclusives, though both have since left and Square Enix said “never again, it wasn’t profitable enough.”

        Them being told they’re timed exclusives isn’t really the problem being discussed though. Seems weird to invalidate a console having a game just because it’s available elsewhere. If you don’t already have a PC, a PS5 for it’s performance is way cheaper than getting the PC equivalent.

    I have played the exact same games as you have, but add AstroBot.

  They just ported all the PS4 games and slap PS5 on them. I bought a PS5 and not single game I have on it you can’t also buy a 4 version. Except for Dead Island 2, and it was meh. I have not used my PS5 in over a year it just collects dust. With PC games I get all I need and more. But I have looked at new games for it and not impressed with the lineup.

    Oh shit PS5 has no games?

    source

    • Fredselfish@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Well they do just very few, and the ones they have inclusive aren’t all that great.

      source

      • Nikls94@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        I bought mine for my girlfriend to play Hogwarts Legacy. I myself have played FF7, FF16, AstroBot and Expedition33. That’s twice as much games as I have played on the Switch2. And AstroBot is the only one of them you can’t play on a PC

    Yeah, my ps5 is a netflix machine, and my son plays apex on it. I barely bought any games.

  • tane69@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    It really does feel like this. And most of the new “ps5” games they also make for 4! Off the top of my head I can think of demons souls, ff16, ff7r part 2, and death stranding 2 and 3 of those are only timed exclusives

    • Stovetop@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I don’t think that’s a bad thing, though. It’s not like I’d be bothered if someone with a GPU 5 years older than mine is able to play the same game on PC.

      This is what consoles just should be. No longer locking games to specific generations, letting newer hardware run older titles better, and letting developers continue developing for lower hardware targets to include more people.

      It’s because half the player base still only has the PS4, like myself. I just could never justify spending that much money on a console that can only hold like 8 games Anyways without paying a crazy amount for extra storage, when I can still play the same games on the console I already have. I was more than happy to spend twice the money building a decent desktop where I can play just about anything I want with way more freedom.

  My psvr2 backlog would like a word with you…

    I wanted to get a psvr2 to use on my pc.

      I hear amazing things but wife says I already play enough lol

        Ahh, that’s a bummer. Hopefully she’s not too onerous about it. Some people don’t understand games as a hobby or down time activity but then are fine with tv/movies/books.
