This is great news for the video game community as even Sony and Microsoft admit consoles have nowhere else to go. They are already maxed out mini PC’s. So without huge graphics cards, you will see ZERO actual improvements on a 2028 console.
I dont want consoles to “get better” i want them to do more.
kinect was great and they killed it
1v100 was great and is kill
360 was promising us a virtual economy where pseudo-modders could make skins and sell them and they decided no
mixxer seemed great and is kill
picture in picture was great for waiting for games with really low player count but is kill
where’s WoW
they stopped shipping headsets with xbox and now voice chat is basically dead.
basically everyone has phones now but theres next to no uses other than jackbox and dance game
the avatars were pretty sweet, a nice cute MTX-fueled self-insertion gimmick.
These are jsut xbox related because peasantry. I could go on and on if I put some thought into it, and what’s worse is that a lot of my gripes there ACTUALLY EXISTED. They saw it could be done, did it, then just said “lol no”. I dont know what game theyre playing, just creating previous work to hoard patents or some shit, but we’ve got perverted by graphics over the ages.
We marveled at shiny graphics/polygon count/draw distance/objects on screen because it was the most surface-level, obvious, in-your-face evidence of improvements. Nobody but tech enthusiasts really care about it. The big improvements we actually gave a shit about are the quality of life features, control schemes and shit.
Goldeneye 007 on the N64 was considered a masterpiece, and is still looked on some 30 years later with nostalgia about the good old days. Go play it if you get a chance its near unplayable because the controls are weird. The dated graphics will be jarring but theyre not what irks you.
Stardew Valley is a straight rip-off of Harvest Moon, but go play a HM game from before SV. So much of it is janky and weird.
They’ll be saying theres nowhere left to go because computing power has basically plateaud but there is so much more room for improvement and innovation.
Then sell controllers without the features for a cheaper, get onboard experience (I’m still pissed about the kinect, I liked the idea of everyone having it, only for them to then sell consoles without it 🙃)

Exactly. They could give us a built-in light gun and a steering wheel, and see what indie game developers do with them!
