I've always been a late gen guy. Titles like Mario 3 and Mega man 6 hold up. MGS3. GTA5. I think Mid-Gen is the Pinnacle usually, no doubt about it, but the question is whether Early or Late Gen is superior.

Early gen is good for Engineering showcases and not much else imo. The exceptions are N64 and Dreamcast which blew their loads quite early. N64 had all but No Games and Late Gen was MISERABLE. N64 had the worst late-gen of any Console in history. Saturn had the best. Radiant Silvergun, Burning Rangers, and Panzer Dragoon Saga were all 1998 releases.

I would argue that GTA6 is going to be spiritually mid-gen when it comes out EOY next year. This is going to be a Long Gen. Even if PS6 comes out in 2027, it's going to have even fewer exclusives than PS5.

This is the Last Gen, Champ. Face the music, Gaming as our middle aged asses know it is Ending. Everything is going to be Streamed from the Nvidia AI.FartCloud and there's Nothing you can do to stop it imo

You can literally put the entire history of gaming from the 1970s to PS2/gamecube / arcade on a micro sd card and play it on a $80 raspberry pi

I’m not going to do that you idiot. You need to learn a thing or two about Curation. You can’t just download infinite games and brag about them. That’s retarded.

late gen is when programmers manage to get the most out of a console. Look at uncharted 2 & 3 on the ps3 or some of the "3d" games they managed on the gameboy color.

Donkey Kong Country

Even late Atari 2600 games like Solaris were miles beyond the early games.
