Well, it would seem that the next generation (at least the first couple years) won't be a major step up in graphical fidelity from the best of the current gen stuff. I'm ok with that given a lot of the other improvements but I do wonder if it'll be enough to sell these consoles this holiday. Horizozn II looks absolutely amazing but I feel like that studio can push it close on PS4 as well.

This was such an epic showing!!!!!
Fucking destroyed Xbox and teached them how you do a next-gen showing. Very classy and elegant. Superb!
I don't know. the returning IPs look to be the only ones standing out.
Neither of which were using ray-tracing. and GT7 i thought could have very well been a PS4 pro game for some odd reason.

Yeah, some games weren't that gorgeous, though looking at the 4K trailers - still YouTube quality, so not as great as 4K from Gamersyde - and the 4K images, which really show how these games look. Holy fucking shit!!!!!
Horizon 2: Forbidden West - Looks beyond gorgeous. That shot of Alloy underwater......... That's true next-gen!
Spider-Man: Miles Morales - Looks incredible, look at the details in his face and suit. The textures are amazing.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart - Simply looks like a Pixar CG movie. Period. Looking at those images gives an incredible high budget Pixar movie. Ratchet & Clank (2016) already looked insane, this just takes it to a whole other level.
Demon's Souls - The first and fourth images show such an incredible beautiful game that I almost wished they were making a Demon's Souls 2.
So at least these 4 games look next-gen, Demon's Souls being the least good looking, even though it's from Blue Point, but which makes you think how great next-gen games will look. And these are 1st/2nd year titles, wait till we're 4-6 years into the PS5 and XBSX cycles and those games will look even more incredible.
By then Unreal Engine 5 - which launches next year - will also be widely utilized and developers will have gained a lot of experience developing for these consoles, so no reason to doub next-gen games, they will look incredible. Another thing is that with the almost instant load times, haptic feedback and 3D audio (PS5), these games will also offer a better experience than before.
Athens asked if it will be enough to sell these consoles this holiday, I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm looking into buying a PlayStation 5 at launch, as long as the price is not obscenely outrageous. The dollar is between 5-6 bucks here, plus with all the taxes and shit, some consoles are at an all-time high price.
For example: PS4 Base = 2.400-3.000, PS4 Pro = 3.400-4.000, Nintendo Switch = 3.800-4.200, etc. And since the PS5 will be new, there will be that "new product tax" consumers hate. Still, I have saved a lot of money and if it's around 3.000-4.000, I might jump in. Otherwise I will wait for Black Friday 2021, just depends on the pricing. I'm almost praying for Sony to take a loss and sell it at U$ 399, but the fact there's 2 SKUs and the rumors from people who have sources at Sony makes me think it will be around U$ 499-599. #fml!!!

Right. I think programmable shaders were adopted fairly early on consoles (xbox360/ps3) (3 Days ago)

@toelessfoot: Well, only recently they have been. I think this is the first gen I've seen where PC's are playing catch up. Not through hardware power, but through development cycles (3 Days ago)
toelessfoot
Yeah I think innovations on the console side are taken up more quickly by PC than vice versa because consoles are really lead platform for everything (3 Days ago)
MrWhite
At least for most gamers. Similar to when everything went to pci-e (4 Days ago)
MrWhite
I think we could be seeing a dramatic shift in PC hardware where it'll be essential to own both an SSD and a next gen card with the api's to use them. That also would probably require new motherboards (4 Days ago)
MrWhite
If a game is built from the ground up to take advantage of that, though... (4 Days ago)
