Reply to comment by SepticKnave39 in how come there are still no games that take full advantage of the new gen hardware? by [deleted]

Most games now are just optimised for newer hardware, and whilst they do look a bit better it’s not exactly the leap we were all used to (ps2 to ps3). However I get it, there’s so many online communities that would be split up if they only made games for newer consoles. My guess is with gta6 probably being current gen only, that will drive up demand and hopefully more game companies take the leap and completely switch to new console. This isn’t a new phenomenon though, remember cod was releasing on old gen for years after last gen came out.

Yeah absolutely, just saying it hurts even more so that even those that have wanted to upgrade (and have had the money), haven't been able to. It's putting a delay on top of the normal buffer zone they 'have' to provide. And it's potentially going to delay a tech leap (not the same kind as PS1 to PS2 but still), unless Microsoft/Sony just say "fuck it, it's time to make people upgrade or get left behind".

I think them saying fuck it is a few years away unfortunately. Esp because of that thing that happened in 2020 lol. It delayed so much progress. We’re getting on track now I believe but yeah the lack of consoles is just messing with everything.
