I’m definitely having some undecided feelings towards what I want to buy.
Im relatively certain I will buy a PS5 no matter what happens. Basically all of my favorite games have come from Sony in recent years. I don’t play a lot of game’s anymore and I seem to get easily bored by anything that doesn’t feel top of the range to me. I’m mostly a AAA gamer. Although I’ve been playing some other smaller titles like FTL and Banner Saga lately. I’m certain I will eventually want a PS5 the question is whether I will want one at launch or not. Most likely I will wait until there is a game being released that I must play and that will convince me to buy the console.
I’m also considering buying an XSX for some of the following reasons.
1. I owned and Xbox and an Xbox 360 and during those gens owned all consoles. I’m more frugal these days and an XSX is a good potential option instead of upgrading my 8 year old gaming PC. The back catalogue, the back compatibility with upgrades all of this appeals to me to some degree.
2. I like the idea of Xbox game pass. I will renew my subscription to play a game I want to play in the library and end the subscription after I’m finished. I don’t play enough games often enough to leave the subscription going in between games.
3. I’m a big graphics lover (not sure if I can use the ‘w’ word any more) although despite this I can handle the lesser quality from PS4 Pro as ‘good enough’ on most game’s at the moment.
4. It will still take some game that I feel I must play for me to buy an Xbox. I’m not going to buy a console that doesn’t have any must play game for me. In a way I’m kind of hoping they do get something right for me because I’d like to be able to own the next console. It looks cool and I think Microsoft are doing a lot of things right with the announcement.
5. I kind of believe the leak that the ps5 will be 9.7 Tf and XSX will be 12. I don't want to believe it but I expect it to be true. If the ps5 is announced to be 12TF as well then it will probably make the decision of ‘no’ towards XSX for me. I know I know bring out the pitch forks TF doesn’t matter it’s the way the devs use the console and I fully expect the sony first party devs to be making games on a 9.7tf ps5 that look significantly better than the Microsoft XSX games simply because MS has all the cross platform hold backs to worry about and the Sony devs will be making their games just for the ps5 hardware. . Maybe that won’t last into the future but then that potentially makes any interest I have in buying the Xbox drop away by years.
The main reason I may way to upgrade my PC is for Cyberpunk... just not the biggest fan of playing FPS with controllers. This could really impact my enjoyment of the game. Playing FPS or any FP game on my bed with a mouse and keyboard doesn’t hold so much appeal either and I’m not really certain I want to play cyberpunk at my desk. I really wish they’d allowed for a 3rd person game there but I will still play it. But I could bring the PS4 Pro, XSX or Ps5 to my desk and use my 4K pc monitor (Still using a 1080p tv for my PS4 pro games) so that is an option.
These are the things I’m thinking about at the moment. Of course there is some hype involved in the new console releases. Honestly I think I probably won’t end up with an Xbox because I don’t have any real expectation that they’re going to make a game I want to play so much that I’ll need to buy the console. *shrugs* but you see I’m undecided.
