We're way beyond that already. Quest 2 is $400 and works great practically anywhere. PSVR2 will presumably be $400 also and it's got all the cutting edge stuff. You also don't need 100sqft. Standard is 2x2 meters, but you can go way under that for standing-room-only, which is plenty good even for stuff like Alyx.

The fact is, people just don't want to strap on an all-encompassing headset and do a bunch of squats to get their entertainment.

Yeah, I expect that on the developer side of things there's still a lot of changes happening behind the scenes that will influence the end products. But just from the side of taking stock of gaming history, as a consumer, console generations feel like a murky thing.

With the games they've got coming to Switch i'd be surprised if they have another completely new system planned before late 2024.

To me, it's more the fact that there just isn't really that much that delineates the generations anymore. The last really big fundamental, revolutionary change in how powerful the consoles were was between the PS2/Xbox/GC gen and the PS3/360/Wii gen - those all changed the way games look and felt and created a new paradigm, and you had to get the new consoles right away. Yeah, the PS4/Xbone/Wii U gen further increased the power of the consoles, but now with PS5/Xbox Series whatever/Switch it's like... a lot of people are still on their PS4s and the PS5 only has a handful of key exclusives, nobody really considers the latest Xbox a must-have anymore by any metric, and the Switch is barely even a part of this 'generation', having been released several years earlier and completely doing its own thing. This 'generation' doesn't really feel like anything, to me. So many games are ports and remakes upscaled to a new console, and a lot of games are multiplatform on PC as well which knows not the concept of generations at all. I don't even mean for this to sound lamenting - I think gaming in the 20's is amazing, way better than the 10's and the 00's. I just don't really think of the consoles in generations anymore. To me, the PS4 era was the last true "generation" of consoles and everything has kinda forked off in its own direction now, with no foundational shifts in the fundamental ability of what games are able to do from console to console.

Animated satans from kids cartoons are dropping like flies.

For me, it's kind of *fine*, since I went straight from PS3 to PS5, meaning that all of the PS4 games I missed in the last generation are, in effect, still completely new to me, especially since PS5 has the backwards compatibility to PS4.

If I corrected it, I'd lack as much social self-awareness as them.

What movies have they made

I've been following this too, and what seems odd to me is by how much they cheated. They didn't even try to make it realistic they went so overboard. Perhaps they were worried about other cheaters, or maybe they are somehow that ignorant on how much those type of fish should generally weigh?

forgot this bad boy

even the korok seeds for most of the game I'd argue).

I think forbidden west is an extremely bad game from a pure game design perspective

* extremely cluttered UI
* huge world map, but it's devoid of natural landmarks
* none of the skill tree is useful
* enemies are mostly damage sponges
* infinite trinkets/junk to pick up and none of it is interesting
visually it's gorgeous but it's weirdly not fun. story wise it's passable and has a mini-mass effect 2 gameplay loop but it's not worth it.
