Is everyone waiting for next gen console?

[Melusina]

I have bunch of good games on my wishlist that are out in 2020 or 2021. Is PS5 the reason why?

I have aprox 100 quality games on backlog, my hype for next gen console or new PC is at all time low atm *shrugs*

Don't get me wrong, even at 1k backlog games, I would still search for new games, but that's not how I meant

 

Last year (2018) at E3 game devs basically said to us, "Nothing to see here, see us next year", and it seems they wish (or have done so) to repeat that this year.

There's difference when five devs want to wait for PS5, but completely different story when basically everyone with good games wants to wait next gen console. Then, your choice isn't to wait for five devs because you're so picky you don't want to play nothing else, it's waiting for host of devs with nothing to play.

And to be honest, OBS is honest dev here.

I see. Anyway, there are only three games, which picked my curiosity during this years many shows (which I start to ignore more and more, because all I can see in them, is the promotion of under-age gambling and consumer milking): Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 7 and Tales of Arise. All of them are coming to current gen stuff as well. CP77 and ToArise will be ported for next gen probably as well. All the other games, which are supposedly coming to PS5 as well, were complete snorefest for me *shrughs* therefore even if I am purchasing completely new games, it is most likely either Indie or Japanese. And still I consider OBS still somewhat Indie developer as well. A game, which has casino elements in game, is for me a big NO, even if I am hyped for that game. Matter of principle. There are enough good games coming to PS4 and PS5 in next years without these anti-consumer practices implemented.

I am waiting for Woven to release tomorrow, not the PS5. So no, not everyone

I suppose it's possible some games are being held up by the imminent hardware launches, but I have to think most big devs have dev kits for the upcoming new consoles by now, and even if they don't, the architecture isn't changing much for the new gen. I mean, they're essentially PCs at this point anyway.

There's nothing to play until Starfield and Elder Scrolls VI.

I will probably find TESIV pretty boring if they rely on mods again.

Only game I'm interested in on console is the next part of God of War, which will probably be ps5 exclusive.

You never know, maybe they will take inspiration from their latest release and name it TESLXXVI

TESVI, of course.

I'm sure some developers are working on PS5 titles, but I still feel like we are getting a lot of releases now. Death Stranding, for example.

I have little interest. My PS4 gathers dust most of the time. I don't even buy blu-rays anymore.

I'm am waiting for the full specs of the next gen consoles to be released so I can upgrade my PC accordingly.  If your pc doesn't perform at least 15% better than the current gen console, you're doing it wrong.  If they focus too much on 4k crap than uprgrading should not be a sweat!

[ShadySands]

I think the PS4 is my last console for a while and everything upcoming that I'm interested is on PC

Mostly though it just comes down to time and the kinds of games I enjoy in my dotage

[ManifestedISO]

no, not waiting, but it's so much fun, zero day ... last revolution was six years ago today

 

if the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn is a PS5 launch title, then yeah ...
