Trust me, it's not that simple. Game development is stressful and hard work especially if you are a coder.
The similar architecture is only a single aspect of game development though. There's plenty of other aspects that now take more people, more time and more work. Many games are far more complicated, detailed and ambitious in their size and scope then they ever were before.
The expense can be reduced if they werent so obsessed with visuals. But you are 100% right, we are in an era of games as a services, recycled successful IPs and remakes/remasters of old games (the latter I am ok with).
Someone posted some data on quora a couple of years back it showed the amount of games released by AAA studios per year, it had a very alarming pattern of reduction of games to a fraction of what they were in the 2000s, this has led to less diversity, as instead they concentrate on successful IPs.
Sadly cant see it happening, Sony have an interest in 4k TVs been sold, and a lot of console gamers seem to think 1440p is meaningless we should all be using large 4k screens apparently. The pressure from youtubers and the like is practically non existent.
the start of 2023 is just over 2 years after console release - not even close to 3 years (both new consoles were released in Nov 2020 I believe)
Whyget the PS5 if you just want GT7 and already have a high spec PC - am sure at the end of the GT7 trailer it stated it was coming to PC as well......hmmm nope wasnt on the trailer wonder if it was during the event....thats going to annoy me, was surprised to see it myself but Im sure I saw it somewhere

Wait g7 is coming on pc? If it is i may seriously sell my ps5. Why have it when basically many ps games will come on pc?
Soldato
Because many of us have already played them?!?
Getting a bit tired of the same old "there are no games" arguments at this point. You knew what you were getting yourself into when you bought the thing, and mid-pandemic it was obvious delays were inevitable.
The rose-tinted memories of console launches gone by aren't helping either, they really weren't as magical as people are making out and, especially on the Sony side, you'd have been hanging on to your old console for far longer to keep playing those games too.

No we didn't.
Games like gt7 and God of war were meant to be exclusive to ps5 but not anymore
Fair point, would you have rather played those on the PS4?
Thats a lot of games.
Also the exclusivity thing? its anti consumer, so I have never understood why there is a preference for a game to be exclusive. It isnt any better just because its not released on another platform.
Soldato
I agree and wished there was no exclusives so I never have to play on a console
No interest in PC as I've let that side of things lapse for more than 10 years. Makes sense for Sony to make their games available on that platform as it will obviously increase sales. They don't make money selling consoles so why not?

Never use to be like that but good news. Time to throw my ps5 in the bin

Did you not see the
?
Got my copy of Deathloop early, quite repetitive as you play the same 4 maps over and over with minor variations depending on the time of day. Voice acting is good on the 2 main characters, but i have a feeling it will be a bit of a drag to get to the end.
