Microsoft is doing VR...HTC and Oculus do exactly what PSVR does...actually better imo. Sony um...doesn't deviate and I stand by that because the core hardware is so similar and predictable. It's nothing to get offended about, it works. Virtual Boy was also complete garbage and got that far. For people who have had Vive and Oculus...PSVR is anything but fresh. It's just building on existing tech. TV Out options were available since the Sega Game Gear, nobody's saying that's new. Hell, having full fledged console games with AV out isn't new, Sega Nomad also did that. It's the concept and execution that make Switch stand out in a sea of monotony. It's not even that Switch is that new of a concept because it really isn't. It comes down to how the technology is innovated and executed. The way PSVR is executed isn't really new...it's a Vive for your console. But in terms of mass marketed consoles, there's really nothing like the Switch out today. That's why I find it interesting. And I get it, you can have a valid argument as to why Switch really isn't that fresh of an idea, sure. But VR isn't a core business for Sony, hence the way they're treating it. They're testing the waters, they tried to get to home consoles first and not much else has come from the endevour just yet. But the core of this conversation was about the PS5 as a stand alone device and how it will most likely be what Scorpio is. A new Playstation with more RAM, faster CPU and GPU...and not much else. |
So, the concept is not new (TV outs on handheld - PSP, Shiele) but the execution is good so that makes it fresh? In that case, the PS4 is very fresh because the execution is masterful when it comes to having a core console gaming experience and the technology is newer.
A new PS with more RAM, faster CPU and GPU and not much els... except for all the new things Sony brought with the PS4.
