It’s so weird that these consoles are in the latter stages of their life. Was it just this generation that was weird or am I just getting old?

It seems that they are not as popular as the Xbox one and ps4 were. Maybe I just checked out of modern gaming.

It still doesn't feel like there's been a proper 'next-gen' game yet. There were a lot of cross-gen games that seemed to dampen the feeling of the gen starting. Maybe FFVII Rebirth will change that for me; I dunno.

I dunno, after playing the opening sequence of Spider-Man 2 I thought “oh there’s no way they could do this on a PS4”. The graphics are just insane. Gameplay? Sure, nothing spectacularly out of range of the previous gen. But that came out late last year so it definitely feels like we’re just starting to get there.

I watched a playthrough and I kinda have to agree. While I think they definitely could have made it work for PS4 (and by extension Xbox and PC) it probably wouldn't have played nearly as well.

I mean it would definitely play better on pc if they made a proper version for it lol.
