Some have slated the current generation of consoles as a “failure” in light of more previous-gen ports being announced.In case you missed it, it was very recently confirmed thatStar Wars Jedi: Survivoris actually going to be released on PS4 and Xbox One. Who’d have thought? Not me. Well before the game’s release onPS5andXbox Series X/S in April, it wasconfirmed that it’d be skipping previous-gen consolesin order to allow the devs to craft a better new-gen experience for players. This made sense, even though it was obviously disappointing for anyone who’d not got a PS5 or Series X/S.Take a look at the trailer forStar WarsJedi: Survivorbelow.Jedi: Survivor’s PS4 and Xbox One ports are currently in the “early stages of development”, so it’s not known how long it’ll take before they release. However, all in all, it sounds like a win-win for everyone -Respawn Entertainmentwas able to fully focus on optimising the title for new-gen consoles prior to its initial release, and now that that’s done, the team can make sure that even more people can experience Cal Kestis’ latest adventure. However, not everyone is happy.AdvertFollowing the announcement, a number of gamers have been expressing their frustration at the state of the current console generation on Twitter: “We absolutely have to admit the current console gen is a failure,” onewrote.Others feel the same: “Thank you, three years in and still, barely any games take advantage of current gen capabilities, they raised the cost for these games too, biggest scam,” anothertweeted. “Part of the problem is that with each successive generation there’s diminishing returns on things like graphics too. The average consumer doesn’t care/can’t tell the difference between this and last gen. So why bother upgrading,” agreedanother. “Failure is harsh but not far off in my opinion. While I think there are some great games out there on the new systems, there’s very few games that justify a $500 console. Most games are playable on Xbox One and PS4 anyways but I hope this will be an important lesson learned,” another userreplied.It’s fair to say that the number of games actually exclusive to new-gen systems is pretty small, although it is starting to grow. Later this year,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2will release exclusively on PS5, for example. Hopefully, those currently dissatisfied will feel that their pricey new-gen console purchases were worth it sooner rather than later.Featured Image Credit: Kerde Severin via Unsplash, Microsoft/XboxTopics:PlayStation 5,Xbox Series X,Xbox Series S,PlayStation,Xbox
