Doesn't seem like a troll post as OP is member since 2015 and has many posts, but still a very daft question. Have you been living under a rock or do you not know of China's brutal, totalitarian regime that violates human rights on a regular basis? Controlling what information you can see, what you can say, etc.

The improvements have been finer but no less substantial than past generations. Just compare the character/weapon/prop animations in games like God of War, Battlefield 5 and Gears of War and compare it to something from previous gen. When a game like Fallout 76 comes out now with janky animations and character detail, that's when you realise how far we've come to expect now.

Next gen will be even further about small but important subtleties, like more complex volumetric fog, ray tracing, etc.

Because, Nintendo.

Pretty much... if it's Mario, DK, or Zelda, best believe you'll probably never see those at a discount. Honestly, every response I've seen so far is valid. Nintendo rarely drops prices on its first party titles

Zelda: BOTW is on sale now at the official site's Black Friday sale, along with Fire Emblem: Warriors. Must say I'm surprised because I've never seen their first-party games on sale either.

Yup, can't wait for some next-gen graphics that the PC crowd has been enjoying for the past few years. The fast loads alone are worth it for me as my playtime is more precious these days.

I just can't believe a company as rich as Google isn't taking more costs on the chin to get this concept of theirs off the ground. When you're trying to float something like Stadia, you need to make sure the cost barrier is low. People are not going to take the plunge when you're charging full price for the games on TOP of a subscription fee AND the cost of the hardware.

I have a PSVR and if they can be bothered to make it for PS, I'll try it for sure.

That's not going to happen... Nintendo's aim isn't to have the most powerful hardware (as we see now with Switch). And to be honest, I don't really want them to chase power and try to compete with Scarlett/PS5.

I'm assuming they'll do another hybrid, and just improve on the current formula. Obviously use newer chips (the latest Tegra chips you'd assume) and just make quality of life improvements. That's what I'd like anyway. But who knows with Nintendo.

Agreed. Unless next-gen Sony/Xbox console offers a portability solution like the Switch, Nintendo is probably going to continue down their current route.

As long as their first-party line-up is as as strong it is, they will not miss having next-gen mainstream titles in their line-up because their first-party games seem to sell for launch day price forever.

This is the most bizzare review virus I've ever seen. Almost every review is admitting the gameplay is a chore and what not, yet scoring it 10/10.

They realised they got off on the wrong track focusing on SJW BS and then battle royale, and are now producing the content that their core audience loves. This is reflected from the small touches like the new splash screen to the new Pacific maps which give me that grittier BF1 feel. Hope they stay on this path.

MKT is absolutely the worst, and I uninstalled it within days of installing. FE: Heroes, so far, I've not had the need to pay real money, although I only play once every few days. Best example of doing a Nintendo mobile game was Super Mario Run. Flat down payment and that's it. I still play it daily. Unfortunately, like someone pointed out, mobile gamers hate paying a flat-rate but have no problem paying 5X the amount in microtransactions. Which is why this practice has skyrocketed.
