Anyone else feel the same?

I get why people are excited for PS5 and Xbox Series X, it's new consoles but for me I just don't see it.@Boesy
I was just talking to my friend the other day about this. Idk about the Series-X but the PS5 will only have 667 free space once you get everything up in running. For $500 the standard should be 2TB HD space and 2 controllers with a "Wired" gaming headset for that it would be a very justifiable price. But for 1TB and 1 controller and they expect you to shell out $70 an an additional controller it's pretty outrageous. I mean considering the PS5/Series-X are selling like hot cakes the general public doesn't seem to be concerned about the price. It's funny how they push online and multiplayer in your face for most games but they still give you 1 controller.
HeathenMeh, my gaming senses still stuck in thinking that 720p is HD
I feel the same way. I've owned four TVs over the past several years, and not one of them has been able to display anything more than 1080p. It might be pointless to buy a new console now.Heathen
The graphics had a huge jump from SD to HD, now it's just slightly better, imo.PS5 just looks like a PS4 with prettier graphics.
I haven't been impressed with console releases for a while now. I had bought an Xbox One on release day and hardly touched it so I ended up selling it a few months later. Got a PS4 the end of last year and I basically only use it to play Persona because none of the exclusives really interested me. The latest generation is the nail in the coffin for me when it comes to owning a console for a few reasons. The latest Xbox no longer has much reason to exist because of Microsoft making their games playable on PC and the PS5 just looks like a PS4 with prettier graphics. Nintendo is the only company that I will still buy consoles from because they're different and actually care about the gameplay of their games and consoles instead of pretty graphics. I honestly think the Switch is way better than the current generation consoles simply because it's more fun. Graphics don't equal fun.
[...] I remember being amazed at how the Wii U had HD graphics [...]
The generational differences in visuals are not a large enough jump between the generations to really feel justified for me, even going from the base PS4 and base X-Bone to PS5 and Xbox SeX. Besides the upgrades to PCIe SSDs, it still feels like a small mid-generational upgrade, rather than next-gen. The jump between PS3 and PS4 was HUGE.
IDK know if I'd call the jump from PS3 to PS4 huge. Does it generally look better? Sure. But that comes at a cost: the games made for the consoles usually are playing at 30fps, whereas the slew of remasters made for the PS4 and XBOne seem to usually target 60 because the hardware can play those games at those resolutions.
Honestly, the big differences between this generation and the last comes down to the lighting in games not being "gray and green to pursue realism," and everything being open world even if it has no right to be or would benefit from a tighter structure.
