I would say Avowed, Starfield, Elder Scrolls VI, and GOW2 show the most promise of "Damn, this is gonna be soooo good!" but none of them have any actual gameplay trailers to go off of and they're all years (or half a decade) away from release, so It's just guessing and wishful thinking at this point.

Games don't feel generation defining anymore. When we jumped from 8-bit to 16-bit to 3D to GC/XBOX/PS2, there were huge differences in both how games played and looked. Now my PC games just slowly and constantly become better looking. Seems to be the same with PS/Xbox. And my second gaming device after PC is from Nintendo, which are 1-2 gens behind hardware wise.

Games are stale. Something big needs to happen. Bigger than Alyx. Definitely not a slightly better looking God of War. And not a BotW2 either.

BOTW was the generation-defining game of last gen. It was revolutionary.

But BOTW 2 isn't revolutionary, but more evolutionary. So I doubt it would be generation-defining like BOTW was.

Right? I can get that, Nintendo figured out a way to do open world fun. Not sure how BotW2 could be considered generation defining..

Deathloop is innovative. nothing like deathloop happened to FPS genre before.

What's so innovative about Deathloop?

Right now it's Alyx. People who haven't played it can't appreciate what it accomplished.

I guess there aren't many games that play like Deathloop, but "innovative"? Deathloop is basically Dishonored in a different format.

We're well past the point of diminishing returns when it comes to graphics. Every generation going forward is going to have less and less significance over the previous. Remember that big leap from SNES to N64? Yeah, those big leaps in technology are long gone. Now generations just sort of blend together. There is nothing that's going to signify some kind of defining point.

Dishonroed was not FPS. in case of deathloop there no FPS done like this before. plus having time loop elements where you die and loop restart.

Time loops have been done before in video games, dating back to YU-NO and Zelda: Majora's Mask in the late '90s. But it hasn't been done before in FPS, as far as I know.

Honestly, after everything we've seen announced for the next gen systems since their inception... it seems the upcoming reboot of Saints Row defines this new generation very well... disappointing.

Whatever it might be, it sure as hell won't be on the Switch, a system with specs on par with my AA battery charger.

Most certainly gonna be from Sony, they're always the ones that put effort. Even right now, they have the best animations in the whole industry (tlou2), the best facial expressions (tlou2), the best visuals (Ratchet), the best particle effects (Returnal), the best voice acting (tlou2, gow), etc, etc. This is making hermits so mad. Their 3090 is irrelevant, and there's nothing they can do about it.

Specs are the reason BOTW2 won't be the best?🤭

But specs aside, a Sony game will be better than anything on PC?

Your logic is twisted.

Nintendo makes better games than Sony. BOTW2 will be better than anything Sony can produce.

PC has won almost every year for GFX-King for the last 10 years at DF, and contains a majority of runner ups for this entire period. This most importantly includes 2020 and the Gen8 winner according to DF. This year remains to be completed, but PC will likely win again by the end of 2021 as it typically does.

Have fun fighting a far distant 2nd or 3rd place in GFX while playing the worst looking and running version of 99% of releases. Low settings and low fps, this is your home. Know your place.

Silver and Bronze aren't so bad!

Elden Ring will be generation defining, for sure.

The only thing that could top it is...


The Last of Us: Part III.


Of course.

Or perhaps whatever Kojima has in planned next.

Nice try, but you need to try harder, hermit. Talk to me when any pc exclusives approaches Ratchet in visuals. Won't happen for years. Nobody puts effort in pc exclusives because they don't sell nowhere near enough for it to be worth it. Consoles is what's leading the industry, and Sony is the best on production quality. You can always beg for Ratchet to come to pc. It might happen by 2028.

I liked how you had to move the goalpost to exclusives when I mentioned the fact PC won the most years at DF and won last gen as undisputed GFX KING, trouncing your sad little TLOU2 namedrop (PC beat TLOU2 easily in 2020).

Teehee. Hey man don't worry, I'm totally rooting for you to get that Silver Medal vs XBOX!

@hardwenzen said: Consoles is what's leading the industry,

You mean putting the far better version of 99% of their games on PC since PC has the most players and revenue of any system. Or always leading in new gfx hardware and features that get used in subsequent consoles (only the shittier version).

Hey speaking of the video games industry, why are 99% of video games worse on PS5? They run slow and look worse, I laughed when I played it.

How is Ratchet, Bloodborne, GoW, etc are running on pc?🤭At zero fps. The new pc benchmark.

PC had around 100 more high scoring games than PS, the vastly superior looking/running version of 90%+ of video games that were/are on PS, and was/is GFX KING over PS.

Digital Foundry is lying?

Anyway have fun with half my FPS and lower settings than me for nearly every video game. All while DF gives PC the win for most years, including the Gen8 winner (watch their 2020 videos).

So, am I supposed to care? Hell my pc-gaming chair literally costs 2x than a PS5, price isn't an issue. If you want the best experience you typically pay more. This goes for any product. Welcome to real life?

DF Face-Off usually gives the win to PC for most multiplats and most overalls, crying about prices doesn't change this.
