So why would I need the new Xbox/PS5?

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Sep 21 '20, 09:10

Other than "better graphics," are there games that are only going to be on the new machine(s) and not on the old?

Personally, I'm more likely to get a new GCU than a new console. -- (edited) - Marlowe Sep 21, 09:50
he next Forza will be new-gen/PC only. The new Xbox has 3D spatial sound as a feature, but I don't know if that's all games. -- nm - Max Sep 21, 09:24
as with all previous consoles eventually there will be games that are exclusive to the new gen -- nm - decline Sep 21, 09:13
There aren't a lot of PS5/XSX exclusives at the moment, to be honest. Unless you really want the new hardware, hold off for a bit. - Shaun Sep 21, 09:13 3
- this is what I'm doing. I'm not gonna stress over trying to get one - decline Sep 21, 09:14 2
  - yeah, definitely after the new year (this should be below) -- (edited) - decline Sep 21, 09:25
  - Yeah, if you're not keen on early adopting, just wait til Q4 2021 or next summer or whenever. -- nm* - Shaun Sep 21, 09:17
In a console generation, virtually all releases become exclusive to the upgraded system(s) after two or three years. - New, Better David Sep 21, 09:13 1
- Cool. I'm usually a year or two behind and wait for a decent sale, so sounds like this is the plan again. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 21, 09:16
If you have an Xbox, you don't. All the new Xbox games should play on the old Xbox, although at lower resolutions. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 21, 09:12
