Comment on PS6 and Xbox Project Helix "will start at a 50% higher price" than PS5 and Xbox Series X, predict analysts following Sony price hike – and $999 "is not impossible"

  It’s amazing to see what they squeezed out of the PS3 and Xbox 360 towards the end of their life compared to the launch titles. It feels like there was not much of an improvement over the life span of the PS4. The PS5 has ray tracing, but apart from that it doesn’t look much different from the PS4. I suppose framerates are higher now.

  Yeah for sure, “better” from here on out will have to involve better features.

  I had the same opinion, but it changed after playing Doom (2016, Xbox One) and Doom Eternal (2020, Xbox Series X) back to back. The difference was dramatic.

  I still believe we are reaching a point where Moore’s law is hitting a fundamental limit, but only time will tell how things will pan out. My guess is that consoles will need to get bigger to get better.

    The biggest difference i noticed was that they changed it from an FPS to a rhythm game with an FPS coating.

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad, just different.

    I dunno, I actually thought Doom 2016 mostly looked better than Eternal. I didn’t like Eternal’s more cartoony bright color highlights everywhere.
