Anyone else planning to take a break from buying games until next gen?

It's definitely going to be a slower year for me until next gen hits.
I'll probably pick up Doom Eternal, but I will save Cyberpunk, Avengers, The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, and really anything releasing later than maybe June for next gen.

Sure! Right after:
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Resident Evil 3
Doom Eternal
Cyberpunk 2077
Last of Us Part 2
And some others I'm likely forgetting at the moment.

Nope, i mostly play on my pc now, i am more interested in the unannounced launch exclusives of the new consoles.
Nah, play all the multiplats on a high end PC so not an issue for me. And TLoUP2 will be a technical marvel on PS4 Pro regardless.
Chances are these same games are going to look and perform way better on the new consoles. It's not like last few gens where we're starting from scratch at the start of the gen. We're going to see patches and upgrades to current games for new consoles this time.
We might not even see true differences in the game release. In other words, a cross gen game releasing on PS4 and PS5 could be the same game in both boxes, optimized to run better on PS5 and still tailored to run at lower settings on a PS4.

PS4 exclusives, yeah I'm going to hold off until PS5. I'll probably be selling my PS4 soon which will help make the wait more bearable.
But there's plenty of Switch and PC games I'll be getting this year.

I did that mainly this gen. My deal for splurging on a One X was that my games would only come from Gamepass, Games with Gold, and the public library. And I have been pretty much successful with that plan, and it has been really enjoyable. My experience has made me willing to go in on a launch day Series X to continue with this philosophy.

I'm really not that hyped by it. I enjoyed the first one but didn't think it was amazing. The fungal zombie setting is so boring. I prefer uncharted.
I'm only going to buy Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
I think Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us 2 and Ghost of Tsushima will be on PS5 too, so I'll wait. If they are not announced for PS5 by the year, it's good thing that the PS5 will be backward compatible anyway.

Absolutely not.
I'm planning on buying Last of Us 2, Cyberpunk, and Ghost of Tsushima when they release.
I'll probably get Doom Eternal too, if it looks good from reviews.
edit: also, you might not have meant stuff like this, but I'm pretty excited about getting a TurboGrafx-16 mini.

I'm getting 5-6 games this year
already got Kakarot & since I don't have GCU anymore as well as a huge backlog I'm really not running out to Walmart to buy $50 dollar games anymore.
I can wait for the first or second discount, I'll be waiting for $30 bucks on Doom Eternal for sure if I even pick that up this year or will watch someone else play it and pass on it if I can't stand the wait.

I'm guessing that games will have a setting for the higher console in them instead of having two seperate versions, like with the base consoles and the pro versions.
I know I won't play Cyberpunk until Series X is out but other than that I'll probably play whatever else I'm waiting for.

I've been considering selling my PS4 Pro at this point as well, I basically only play UMVC3 and MVCI at this point and the former's netcode sucks, and the latter's player base has diminished almost completely. I'll play RE3 on my PC and the other games I'm looking forward to this year such as No More Heroes 3 will be on Switch so yeah, I feel like my PS4 Pro is just dead weight at this point.
Well, sure, but you did ask. And you asked it in the period in which some of the biggest, most awaited games in a long time are coming out. So, I guess a lot of people are very hyped about this year. If you're looking for affirmation of your choice, I think this is the wrong time for it, honestly. Of course, you buy or not buy what you want!
This year is going to have a stretch of god tier games releasing, especially on PS4. Worst possible time to take a break IMO.
Why miss out on a lot of great games coming out this year just so I can fast for some early next-gen titles that will probably not be as good?
I'll just play FF7R, Ghosts of Tsushima etc on PS5 and maybe they will be cheaper by them. Plus I have a base PS4 and see no point in getting a pro with the new consoles being so close.
Nah, exactly the opposite, I didn't have the need of a 'next gen' yet and don't have plans of buying the consoles anytime soon. Too many games I still want to buy/play on PS4.
