Netflix's President of Games, Alain Tascan, is expecting a future generation that relies less on gaming consoles as major players like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo push forward with new hardware.
That too, but also console gens aren’t what they used to be. What has the current gen done to justify itself beyond the prior gen?
The PS5 is basically PS4 Pro 2. Meh.
Where’s the excitement? We don’t have the graphical or storytelling upgrades of the past anymore. What is going to be incredible and new abiht the next generation? Probably not much.
Reminds me of the story from the other day about how 80%? of hours spent playing PC games are on titles more than 6 years old.
Hell, I just upgraded my video card for the first time in seven years, but the reason I did it was mainly due to factors like avoiding increased future costs due to tariffs and wanting modern API support for stuff like raytracing and experimenting with LLMs, not because there was some particular new game I had in mind that required it.
