Don’t forget the people claiming the PS5 Pro is definitely coming are the same people that said the Switch Pro was definitely coming.
A mid-gen upgrade for the PS5 and Series X just isn’t needed this time around. Not to mention the current gen machine cost MORE now than when they released so how much would a Pro model have to be? £650, £700, more.
That’s a lot of money for a console that’s likely to be replaced with a new generation in 3 years. Or less.
Elder Scrolls VI is at least 5 years out so that probably makes Fallout 5 a decade away at best. Nobody will remember the TV series by then as Amazon will have likely purged it for a tax break.
I already don’t buy games that I won’t own. So nothing always online that will one day just go away and nothing that the entire game playable from beginning to end is not present on the disc. I make some rare exceptions for indie games where a physical release simple doesn’t make sense but for everything else if I won’t OWN it I don’t buy it.
So a cloud only future will save me a LOT of money and I’ll still own thousands of games I can play.
@Tintin I didn’t even consider the inevitable forced time and content restrictions we KNOW governments would impose like China already has.
You go to play a game and a government message pops up…
Sorry, no games for you, work/school in the morning.
Sorry, this content is no longer deemed socially acceptable and has been disabled.
Sorry, you have exceeded your maximum playtime for today/week.
Sorry, you didn’t pay enough income tax last month so you don’t have time to play games. Go out and earn us some money.
How the hell has it taken 6 years to add anti-cheat? The game will finally be playable again without cheaters randomly appearing and spawning kegs all over the place.

Re: Deliver Us The Moon Dev Issues Plea To Publishers, Says It's The Team's 'Last Resort'
If you pitch something that gets passed on 180 times it’s probably safe to assume it’s not a great idea.

Re: Xbox's Sea Of Thieves Becomes 'Best-Selling' Pre-Order On PlayStation 5
Crossplay for those that don’t turn it off. It’s a Sony requirement that cross play is optional. Microsoft have no such rule.
Re: Former Xbox Boss Thinks Microsoft 'Would Love' A Cloud-Only Future
@OldGamer999 wait until you get a turn. It gets really bad then. Anything but the slowest paced games are borderline unplayable.

Re: Starfield To PS5 Rumours Played Down Following Recent Xbox First-Party Ports
That will soon change if the 4 test games do well on PlayStation.
Re: Sea Of Thieves Announces 2024 Preview Event, Anti-Cheat Out Next Week
@PhileasFragg Their current system doesn’t work then. I often run into cheaters and have to scuttle to new world to escape them.
