CrabAndBroom, do gaming w Half Of PlayStation Players Still Haven't Upgraded To PS5

For me, it was:

  • You couldn’t get one for ages when it came out, so I missed the initial hype period.
  • When it did finally become available, it was prohibitively expensive.
  • There are no real killer exclusives or features so no particular reason to upgrade, aside from games looking nicer.
  • Sony is releasing all the good stuff on PC now, so if I want to play a nicer-looking version of a PS4 game I can just do that.
  • Steam Deck

All the games are in both consoles. If amything, it’s dragging down PS5 ppl.

“most anticipated game ever” - it’s just SIMs with guns. Settle down. It’s not doing anything new.

SynopsisTantilize,

Yea. Gta5 was cool and all…but the main campaigns didn’t feel cohesive at all. Something was lost in gta5

And it’ll be the last GTA some of us ever see.

Hmm, that seems optimistic to me…

Well, I can only speak from my own experience.

When the PS5 launched I wanted to upgrade but you literally couldn’t get it because it wasn’t in stock anywhere. You could only find it on eBay of some private seller that started at almost double the price, no, thank you. Then Sony introduced this “Register and on the next event you get a slot to buy one from the official Website” which was great. I got invited the first time and literally couldn’t buy it because the website was broken. Whenever I wanted to select my payment method the checkout got blank and there was nothing you could do. Even worse was that you couldn’t hard refresh the shop because this would have killed the session that the website needed to allow you to buy it. So, even switching browsers with the same “invitation link” didn’t work. I reported this to the support, but they didn’t really care. half a year later, I got my second invitation link and the same happened then as well. I reported it again to the support, but they still didn’t know what to do with that information or wanted to troubleshoot this.

And now, there isn’t really a need for it anyway. The Games that I would have wanted to buy on the PS5 released on the PC.

aStonedSanta,

Rise of the Ronin and demon souls are the only things I’m missing. I tried to find one without botting for awhile before I gave up. Rather thankful I did lol.

All the greatest recent games run super well on the Steam Deck, so there’s no need for a giant console cosplaying as a router.

thingsiplay,

All the greatest recent games run super well on the Steam Deck

I get what you are telling here, but it’s not 100% accurate, generally speaking. It might be true for you personally. I own a first gen Steam Deck myself and its just a complementary hardware to my PC (and wonderful at that). It does not run all greatest games at all or in some cases limited and problematic. So “super well” is a little bit exaggerated, but that does not take away how fantastic the device is.

The_Che_Banana,

Right? I’ve had the Xbox since the beginning, didn’t get the last upgrade and finally sold the One to get a steam deck.

Most people don’t need the newest and expensive tech. From the last 30 days of active games on Playstation brand, here a split PS3/PS4/PS5 (I just show a ratio that is set in relation to the numbers of players for the game), meaning left side is older console:

ps-timetracker.com/statistic/last-30-days

  • - / 42 / 14 Fortnite (3 times)
  • - / 3 / 2 Roblox (1.5 times)
  • 0 / 33 / 9 Minecraft** (3.7 times)
  • - / 14 / 9 Cod:MW2 (1.6 times)
  • - / 38 / 12 GTA V (3.2 times)
  • - / 23 / 8 Rainbow Siege (2.9 times)
  • - / 26 / 8 Apex Legends (3.3 times)
  • - / 17 / 7 Overwatch 2 (2.4 times)
  • - / 1 / 1 EA Sports FC 24 (1 time)

Edit: I have added simple math result in how many times the PS4 player base is big as the PS5 player base. Just out of curiosity and to provide a quicker way of scanning through the list.

(**ps3 players almost at 0 level for this game)

As you can see, all games are available for PS4 and they run decent enough, are multiplayer games and the new consoles do not offer anything substantial for these kind of players.

I still have a PS2…

I have a ps1, 2, 3 and 4, a psp, a vita, I also have a NA snes, OG xbox, xbox360 and xbox one. I pretty much don’t play with any of them, I work too much…

I only bought a ps4 well after the 5 dropped, and only because my pal had got a new xbox and wasn’t playing with his ps4 anymore. Long story short I got the ps4, 3 controllers, and 5 hardcopy games for £50 and a joint. Until I can get a ps5 for that…I ain’t upgrading

Surely they’re all just waiting for the PS5 pro? That will solve it! /s

redshift,

Or, seriously, a PS5 slim. (Actually slim, not the slight redesign they did.)

I upgraded to PC running Linux instead

I can’t wait to buy this on PC in 2028…

I wish it was /s

Murdoc,

Every, single, time. 😓

DebatableRaccoon,

“can’t wait to buy” sounded pretty sarcastic to me

7U5K3N,

A little bit yes… a little bit no.

They just won’t release it on PC till then. :(

DebatableRaccoon,

Personally, with the experiences I had with GTA V and looking at how far both R* and Take Two have fallen in my esteem, I won’t be buying it.

thingsiplay,

I own an Xbox Series (got it for free, you can’t argue with that), but still will wait for the PC port. I don’t think it will take 3 years before it comes to PC, especially not in todays landscape with a strong PC in Gaming overall. They surely are already working in a way to enable such a port. So 1 year from console release date seems to be realistic.

… who am I kidding to?

7U5K3N,

Honestly I think that’s pretty close to what they did with V.

I don’t remember the exact time line. But it was like a year or 18 months after consoles… iirc.

deeves, do gaming w Fallout 4 Fans Are Begging Bethesda To Stop Updating The Game

Reason on why Fallout New Vegas is the best Fallout:

Bethesda despises it so much that it’ll never get an update, remaster, or get repacked into an anniversary edition.

No Todds, No Masters

VindictiveJudge,
@VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world avatar

Given that it was made by a different company, doing anything with it may actually be legally complicated.

VaultBoyNewVegas, (edited )

Yet Bethesda are/were the publishers when it released and Beth owned the fallout IP then and continues to own the IP.

ExfilBravo,

Different company but the same dev tools and game engine.

Isn’t Obsidian also owned by Microsoft? Pretty sure it’s just a matter of Satya Nadella giving the greenlight

JakJak98,

Yes. Which is why there’s so much speculation about the fallout rights being given back to Obsidian for more.

I wouldn’t mind west coast to be taken by obsidian and east coast by beth tbh.

cmbabul,

Naw fuck that, Bethesda gets from Virginia up through New England, I want obsidian to get a crack at the southeast and Midwest

based obsidian dying to save new vegas, modern day jesus christ

theonyltruemupf,

Such a weird narrative that Bethesda hates New Vegas. Fallout 3 also doesn’t have a remaster or anniversary edition.

With Bethesda’s blessing, season two of the show likely revolves around New Vegas.

deeves,

Personal conspiracy theory time:

The only reason they are going to New Vegas for season 2, is to lay down a whole bunch of Bethesda-fied revisionist history about the whole Nevada area.

They would want to torch the playing field, and make creating a New Vegas 2 that is worth a damn impossible, in anticipation of the possibility Microsoft might put Obsidian on Fallout too, after Outer Worlds 2.

After the studio closures Microsoft just did? Todd is probably, and absolutely justifiably, scared shitless with Obsidian and MGM Amazon’s ‘friendly’ competition.
