Are you excited for next gen? Or want more time?

Are you excited for next gen? Or do you feel like you want to ride out current-gen a little bit longer than the suspected 2020 time frame? Do you think the mid Gen console upgrades commend that? I think 2020 is a perfect time to release new hardware. Don't get me wrong I am still enjoying this generation a lot and I don't necessarily feel constrained by the hardware especially because I mainly use the Xbone X. But I'm just excited with curiosity what new hardware with supposedly way better CPUs can deliver. What about you?

Personally I feel this is the one generation where I wont be returning later to replay some classics. Dont get me wrong, there have been many awesome games released for the PS4 but there is nothing that makes me excited to return to any single game. Maybe God of War and thats it.

I'm always excited for the next new thing especially MS's next box Scarlet and all their new 1st party studios but currently loving mah Monsterbox so all is good in my world of VG's. :P

I’m looking forward to the new consoles coming out in 2020, it feels like a good time to release them.

Time for a new gen AND a revival of system wars.

Hope MS doesn't shit the bed this time and actually brings some competition to the table

This gen is on its last legs, of course I'm excited.

There is no "nextgen", just more of the same. It would be like gaming on a Nintendo platform but with more variety and better hardware.

Excited to see what each company decides to focus on.

Not excited to buy more redundant hardware.

This gen sure has aged way faster then it did for last-gen. But then again, I'm cool with this gen, I cannot complain, I play lots of good games and whatever next-gen has to offer, I'm sure the games will be a hit or a miss. Console wise, I am interest seeing what Sony can do to make their console more appealing then the Switch cause the Switch at this point is a next-gen of it's own.

Good. Now I'll be able to focus on other games that I haven't played yet. People will start to focus on the next gen while game parties finally stop releasing games on the current gen. So now, I can catch up without the train steaming into the fog.

I'm ready for new consoles in 2020.

Honestly if they wanted to just continue making new games for PS4 for another 10 years, I'd be fine with that. We've reached a point where graphics are incredible and games are delivering masterful experiences. I don't think the need for new hardware beyond larger hard drives is really necessary.

@voljin1987: That’s the problem with sony ‘movie games’ - once you know the plot, why go back? Do you watch movies over and over again? Maybe a select few, but not many.

I don't have any desire for new hardware yet... 2020 at the earliest.

"Next Gen" and whatever form that may take, is honestly the absolute last thing I am thinking about these days. No excitement right now for me, quite satisfied at this time. What will make me excited right now is getting more time off from the job so I can work more on my backlog lol, no joke

I could honestly just stay with Switch and PC for a VERY long time. I honestly think this next gen will be the first time I do not get other consoles aside from Nintendo.

Unless Sony delivers a great looking new Ratchet and Clank that is. (I would buy a Ps5 just for a new Ratchet and Clank it is the only Sony Exclusive that I really love.)

Next gen already started, the SouljaGame Fuze launched!

@Sevenizz: true. I will play god of war since the environment design is so good. its def not the story which will get me back. i am just so soured on open games that HZD holds nothing for interest for me and the rest of games tis gen have been largely disappointing.

from a technology standpoint i am excited. i am very interested to see what all 3 do and how they balance the performance/cost ratio. i am also interested to see how this will effect games next gen.

my major concern though is the business side. it costs a fortune to make games on current hardware. that will only go up again with more powerful hardware. i often say that the biggest bottleneck in the industry now is the wallet not the hardware.

what will publishers, especially in the AAA sector, do to recoup those costs? i suspect SP games in that sector are going to take a hammering as games as a service really comes more into focus. for many (especially those that love their MP) that could be great. hell for old Dinos like myself though :S.

so yeah i'm a bit conflicted.

Part of me wants this gen to last another 5-6 years to give devs more time to really play with existing hardware. with the graphics race essentially over this gen it would force developers to find other ways to use the hardware to get interest (personally the lack of this has been my biggest peeve this gen. especially in the AAA sector). BOTW runs on a CPU designed nearly 20 years ago (and also a CPU designed to run in a phone) so the lack of CPU power is simply not an excuse for trying new things. also what else could they do with the GPU besides graphics?

and another part wants more...MORE!!!!! more CPUs....clocked faster! and 2080tis in SLI....with 64GB of HBM memory and have every game come on 4 blu-ray discs and have 4 drives in the console set up like raid 0 to remove/reduce installs...and 8TB SSDs as standard. MOREE!!!!!!! (of course i know the above spec is complete hyperbole.....just in case)

I just want Gamecube games on the go. ?

I'm a PC/Nintendo gamer. I don't get excited for the two consoles where power is the main thing since I already have something way more powerful. Me getting a PS or Xbox would be me getting a way worse machine that largely plays the same games as my PC, except with much worse controls, graphics, options and annoying menus. Oh noes, I can't play Assassin's Creed: Spiderman, the horror.

I feel the Switch still just came out and I have no desire to see anything new from Nintendo console-wise for quite some time. When Nintendo shows something new, I either get excited or I get confused. It's about 50/50 with Nintendo. Usually turns out alright for them in the end though.

Isn't that a problem with all games? Even MP die or never even take off in the first place.

Not really that excited for next gen. Looking at the PC's GPU's nothing really great has been done. So I don't hold that much hype unless they pull some new custom hardware that's completely different like the ps2. I would expect that next gen Xbox should be able to play 4k at 60fps if the x1x can handle 30fps.

I can't wait to get rid of this gen. I hate how weak the current systems are.

I feel like Sony and Nintendo still have a lot more to offer, but a generational leap is always nice. As for M$, they are pretty much out of this console race so they really need the next gen.

From what I understand the main bottleneck of current gen is CPU. And the CPU handles (among other things) physics simulations and AI. So a new gen could bring much more simulations to open worlds for example. That I think would be very cool. Game worlds are pretty static. Let's say they could have more wind, water, fire, ropes, clothes, destruction etc, that would be something "new" (well if taken all together with top graphics).

Sure.

I'm game for a new gen every 4 years.

You can say that til you're blue in the face, won't make it true.

This is literally supported by NO ONE in the game industry. There are literally 0 reports of sony thinking/planing/possibly doing this so...you literally just made that up or rather WISH this happens because YOU are horrified of a true next gen system with exclusives because XboneX has none

Your endless iteration posts are pretty much a Xbox One X buyers remorse and search for validation rants.

Sony already confirmed a true next gen system that won't be compatible with PS4.

I've already shown you this before so stop lying clown, If need be I'll make a separate thread and crush your silly little fanboy propaganda all over again.

My body is ready.

My PC is already next gen

Oh honey, I have no interest in next gen when graphics already look this fabulous! I'll probably jump in to next gen in four or five more years with so many amazing games still to play.

2020 or later please. No rush.

my 1080ftw will be good for many years to come... bring on whatever gen you want.
