Mannn the best point Scott makes here is the fact that companies are so adverse to just making a simple good game. No bullshit, no profit-chasing live service tactics, just a good game. I think the entire movie industry is dealing with this issue right now too... Movies are just rehashes of older ideas because everyone is too scared to either make something simple or fun, or try a new idea. I also love that indies have been getting more of a spotlight than ever, but there is still a part of me that misses that AA/mid-sized studio that we used to see a lot back in the day.

There’s a place with live service games or just games that focus strictly on multiplayer, but yeah I agree. Sony isn’t the only entity at blame, but it’s been so blatant that they’re chasing a profit instead of making a good game. “Games are complicated to make” has been a lot of the mindset which I’m not disagreeing, but uhhh they’ve made good games in the past, they can keep doing it. Even if that means retreading territory and design ideas, there could be fresh takes on what worked. RE4R was the try and true formula in that regard. That game for me sums up to “I’m here for a good time.”

I'm actually curious on what Scott's opinions on this generation is. Personally I hope they hold off on releasing a next gen console like a PS6, because I think console's life span needs to be longer, the usual 7 years is not going to cut it anymore. These consoles need like 10 years to get the most out of their system, especially as game development is getting longer.

the fact that the PS5 Pro does not come with a disc drive by default, and is sold for more than an actual game now is absolutely ridiculous .

Don't be surprised if this becomes the norm for consoles moving forward.

Yeah I don’t think Xbox has given up. I agree with what everyone is saying that Xbox is trying to do, but I think they’re mistaking it for surrender. I think they’re just aiming to make it where Xbox is a service to make gaming accessible to everyone on a variety of platforms, and they just advertise Xbox consoles as the flagship way to play those games. I personally like the idea, and I’m not doodooing in my pants because some people on another platform get to play Halo or something. I like the idea, it feels innovative how you can play your Xbox games on your phone by streaming it, or if you don’t want the console, you can just get a fire stick or something. Are these really the most optimal ways to play? Not really. But I do find new tech innovations and ideas to be interesting, especially the way Xbox is expanding. I think the biggest issue is they just don’t have a lot of really groundbreaking first party games. Which I don’t care too much for, but it would be really great if they would just make a game that was decent for once in a while. I also like how Nintendo is doing its own thing as well which is just being the console for casuals or people who want to play with their friends and family. I like how games like Legend of Zelda and Mario are family friendly, but they still target everybody. Mainly the Mario in anyway, being advertised as a split screen game everybody plays at a party or something. And PlayStation is focused on story based games and such.

Hi-Fi Rush showed what is wrong with games right now by being an example of what could be right. It is a smaller game that looks great, plays well and appeals to a niche audience that was likely developed on a relatively smaller budget. It probably took 2 years to do from start to finish. That is great. And no, it isn't gonna be a 10 millio copy seller. It wasn't meant to be. And there we go. Other games are meant to be the 10 million+ copy sellers. So they pump 5 or more years into making them. They get the $400M budget's. And at that point... they are so expensive and such a time sink they are HAVE to succeed. And so they get focus grouped into utter blandness. And sure, they can be fun - but they are iterative on what is out there and not a leap in games. So we end up with a general feeling of "Yeah, it's okay but kinda boring." It's kinda like movies. Back in the 80's and even 90's there were loads of movies out there. All were medium budgets and so they just pumped them out and some were good and some were bad but they were able to just throw a lot out there to see what stuck. But by the 2000's every movie had to start being a $1B box office juggernaut and so releases dwindled to a tenth of what they were. And the ones coming out became expensive to make and so were made by committee. And sure - some are fun but nobody can claim that the feeling of a movie made by an assembly line has started to creep into them for a few years now. We need a company with deep pockets to enter the scene and just say "We are gonna spend $200M to make 15 games this year - have fun" and get back to seeing what sticks.

FWIW Hi-Fi Rush took more than 2 years to make, it entered development in 2018 and came out in 2023 so around 5 years. It also probably didn't make money. On the flip side, having some games go cash neutral but bring people into more console gaming AND just have a great game is well worth having even for a company.

I just finished listening to the podcast Firelink from Second Wind on this exact subject and added my input while they were doing it live. I've been doing PC and Switch gaming for years and got both a series X and a PS5 for different reasons separately, but with an ultimate goal of being console agnostic for this generation. It feels like that the needle just has not moved. Like, at all. It feels like more of the same that we've been for years on the first party front, with some unique hits in the second party front. Meanwhile, the indie scene is getting over saturated.

I love my Series X so much because it's my entire 360 library from ten years ago (minus Sonic Racing with B-K) on there, through One, all the way to XS. It's got Rare Replay, so many good multiplatform games from PS4-PS5, and I just really love and prefer that controller. Xbox is capable of doing so much better, but for some reason they won't. (Halo Infinite multiplayer is fun too for a free game)

@@aegisleague4053 - Thanks for the condescension, but product development isn’t rocket science. You make the unit that suits the most needs for the least money. That means that it’s economically more viable to make the lowest specification game they can for the widest user base and then simply do a bit of upscaling or technical finessing and claim it as THE redesigned and rebooted top tier game product for the latest generation of console gaming machine like PS5 Pro for example? It’s much easier and more cost effective to do that than to build a game specifically for the PS5 Pro and it’s smaller user base and then try to shoe horn that high spec game into a lower tech console like basic PS5 or even PS4. This is exactly the problem that has held Xbox Series X games back because they have to be able to run on the lower specifications of the Xbox Series S as well and the end result is that developers simply make the most basic specification of game that will tick just enough boxes to get that Xbox Series X top tier gaming title while actually being low key designed for the Xbox Series S and all that entails. Almost half of the Sony PlayStation PSN user base is still rocking a PS4 console and it’s much easier to design a PS4 game and buff it up a little to call it a PS5 reboot than to make a top tier PS5 game and then make it work somehow on lower spec consoles. This was a problem that CD Projekt RED had when trying to get their Cyberpunk 2077 game to run well on the older consoles.

Do players really want more of the same AAA 3rd person open world games? Surely if these guys marketed and published these smaller, but great experiences people will give them a chance. If it's really true that "gamers are stupid and will eat anything they put out" why not maker smaller, cheaper games? 300+ million for a single game is fucking ridiculous and surely is hindering potential profits.

As an Xbox fan, I have to agree. The first party department has been lacking on Xbox. Scott described it perfectly too, modern Halo feels like a corporate entity that just exists, “appeals” to what’s popular in video games today but doesn’t really have much passion in it. I’m just sticking with Xbox cause it was my first major console, and I don’t want to lose all my progress, friends, and purchases. Plus Xbox still has some selling points for me, primarily backwards compatibility, quick resume, and I’m not the biggest fan of PlayStation exclusives to the point where I’ll buy a PS5 and take up space that could’ve been used for a Nintendo Switch or something. But I still enjoy Halo the Master Chief Collection, Halo Infinite is an occasional pleasure to play with my friends, and I actually enjoyed Starfield. People wanted something vastly different, I personally liked the way Bethesda did their RPGs in the past and didn’t want them to change too much. Plus, since games like Elder Scrolls 6 are coming to Xbox and PC only, yeah. But, even then Xbox could be doing better. I liked Starfield, but I’d still take Skyrim or Fallout in a heartbeat. Halo Infinite I’ll install for a few months, get bored, and don’t play it again for a year. It seems like there’s not much hope for Halo’s future right now. To be honest, once I get the money, I’m getting a PC. I’ll keep an Xbox or Nintendo console for casual play or split screen with my friends and family, but I’d prefer a PC. It gets both consoles’ games anyway these days, no online subscription fee, mod capabilities, indie and fan games not available on console, emulation, and I can always upgrade it to keep up with future games. But for now, I’m sticking with Xbox as my primary console, and Nintendo secondary. But both PlayStation and Xbox aren’t like they used to be in the 6th and 7th generation. Nintendo has been completely consistent at least.

I feel leadership quality in these big studios have been subpar. The decisions they make are so bizarre to anyone who has even a rudimentary knowledge of the industry. Not just in gaming but in tech in general. It's just people who are super into stocks and does stuff that's good for stocks but horrible for the business and get pikachu face when stuff fails.

Agree, even the Ps2 launch window in itself was epic. Because we got 29 games that required a ps2 to play.

I got my series x from launch and it was an upgrade from the xbox one s.a.d(one S all digital), and yet i haven't felt like there's this pinnacle moment of next generation, there's alot from the lost of creativity and shock factor. I should probably get a pc.

The cross generation releases made sense when it was difficult to get a ps5. Now, when they’re more readily available, it prevents too many games from fully taking advantage of the console’s hardware.

Remember how the dreamcast felt like a half step between the ps1 generation and ps2 generation? Thats how the ps5 and XSX feel. It still feels like we're waiting for the "real" next gen to launch. I think that's why this gen is gonna be a short gen

The problem is that it takes longer and longer to create big AAA games, which means fewer and fewer games per generation. Example we went from getting 3 uncharted games + Last of us from one studio within one generation to getting 1 remake + 1 collection disc.

From what I gathered here, COVID messed up everything. It seems like both systems could’ve had big standout moments, but they haven’t happened yet or might not at all due to being super delayed.

I feel like Microsoft made a bad move halting their free backwards compatibility updates. It was awesome for me playing older games at 60 or even 120 fps with updated resolutions and HDR. It made most games feel like new and saved so much money compared to Sony's remaster approach

Exactly! My kids got Game Pass with their Xbox Series S for Christmas and it was awesome because they had so many older games that I fell in love with games I played years ago. Someone could literally play the entire history of Xbox with free updates compared to Nintendo re-releasing (for the 200th time) Super Mario Bros on the Switches predecessor for $20

One thing about exclusives. It used to be that exclusives had features that simply weren't possible on another console. Be that music or graphics or gameplay made possible by that specific hardware. Nowadays it's pretty clear the only reason for exclusivity is $$$$.

Nothing has been more amusing for me as a Nintendo fan will also play PC game to go through multiple generations of particularly with the Wii U of everyone saying Nintendo's a giant laughing stock and that they should go third party to recover their business only for now to Nintendo the more popular than ever making money hand over fist giving us remakes of classics we've always wanted but also just doing really cool ingenious new ideas both in franchise and completely new IPS. Meanwhile Sony just keeps loving to shoot themselves in the foot and out of all the companies it was Microsoft who actually went third party. This gen has been wild for people like me!

It’s time for SEGA to make a comeback. Imagine this company, lurking in the shadows. Allowing their games to be third party on all consoles. Gaining information. Learning from all the mistakes Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo have made, also learning from their successes. Developing a next gen console with all their strengths… then BAM! SEGA Omega releases. (Name is an homage to the Genesis).

Sony's only unique title this generation is Returnal and Scott forgot about it, pretty much sums up why they keep regurgitating the same ideas and games over and over. Astro bot was great as well tbf and I enjoyed Helldivers.

Budgets for modern games have gotten so out of hand that companies don't dare to greenlight anything new or unexpected. Spider Man 2 on PS5 was great but with a budget of 300 million dollars is it better than thirty 10 million dollar games, or even three hundred 1 million dollar games. Sure none of those would have the visual spectacle of Spider-Man 2, but it would give room for new exciting ideas that could bring the industry forward instead of letting it stagnate, and let's face it some of those games would be just as good or better than the AAA-budget game.

I think one big factor about this is that a bunch of big games suchs as GOW:R and Metaphor Re:Fantazio are also being released on the previous gen as well as current gen. It's also kinda sorta like a Wii U situation where tons of the games on Wii U were similar to what was on Wii or 3DS, which did not incentivize people to pick up the new machine. Also no price drops either. There also wasnt much of a graphical leap either, at least compared from something like PS1 to Ps2/PS2 to PS3 or N64 to GCN.

I am an Xbox fan but i gotta admit Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2 and Psychonauts 2 were the only games in the whole Xbox One and Series era where i felt like Microsoft cared about the players. In most other cases it felt like they made/published the game just because some analysts noticed they were missing are title from this or that genre on GamePass. Everything feels so strategic and thus somehow emotionless

Literally the only thing that sold me on either console this generation was Sonic Unleashed getting a 60 FPS patch on Xbox Series X|S. Nothing else either console offered was interesting enough for me to consider them, especially with having decent (for the time) gaming computers.
