Sigh.... our very own media feeding the beast yet again.....

Can EG, or anyone for that matter, come out and tell me what in their opinion in next gen gameplay? Its like we are in an industry the constantly expects the wheel to be reinvented.

I am really curious, outside VR, what does anyone think or will anyone describe as "next gen gameplay" Basically, something that we have never seen before in the past 30 years and not just "more of something". Go on... pls, I am begging any and everyone here..... tell me what is this "next gen gameplay" they all talk about. Give me one or a few examples.

Ironically, the only area that has room for innovation (Story, narrative, acting, script, dialogue) is now something people don't want to see in games. The ONLY next genereration game I've played in the last 10 years is TLOU.

It's odd that the biggest European site has a headline 'Xbox1 V PS4' when the the XB1 is getting slaughtered in Europe. It show quite clearly where their mindset is. It's also interesting that it took them a WHOLE PS3 generation to suddenly realise that gameplay is more important than graphics, which is VERY fortunate for MS.

 

I see you continue your attitude against df from GAF here. What exactly is bothering you or what exactly do you think is going on at eurogamer? 

I dunno what is going on at EG. But I can say this much, the OP didn't put a link to the site, and before I went their and found the artiicle myself, I already KNEW that its an article written by Richard Leadbetter. That says a lot.

I think gamers don't realize that these media guys are actually no different from us here on forums whenever they are making an opinion peice. Only difference is that rather than sttae their opinions in a thread, they write up an article and upload it to a website. Doesn't mean they could be any less of a fanboy or have an agenda. Leadbetter, well... just read through any 10 of his articles and you will see what I am saying. The guys is an obvious troll. Well, unless of course he is talking to others just like him that is.......

Thats sad, we should ban EG .

And this next gen gameplay thing is so damn stupid, happens every new génération but then we understand thé best games are just games that could have been made on PS2 with worse visuals 

Banning them isn't the answer. Simply pointing out the double standards and making sure they know we've seen it is enough to change things for the better. It's not as if we, or they, can't praise the Xb1 for having great games because it has great games. This is what I find the most telling thing to be honest. People like me call for transparency, honesty and equality but that's immediately taken as an attack on the other console. It really isn't but things will never change.

Of course, because most people don't know how to compartmentalise, anything said negatively concerning other issues is immediately referenced with a comment like above and used to show yet another negative trait: hypocrisy. People need labels and sides, otherwise they have to stand by themselves which is a vunerable place to stand.

Ctrl+F "Next-Gen Gameplay"...yup it's in the article...well, fuck you then Eurogamer.



Like take this for instance....

20 of the 40 DF tested games better on PS4, as suggested by DF themselves - 50%
13 with parity, - 32.5%
6 with no winner/loser - 15%
1 with Xbox Advantage - 2.5%

Yet somehow the PS4 only has a slight advantage "on paper". Ok... so what the fuck is the point of all the faceoff comparisons? Sigh.....

It's pure clickbait, and to be fair this whole next gen gameplay is BS... especially if you cannot actually tell anyone what the hell it is. The gameplay - doesnt matter if its from 1980 or next gen (whatever that is)... is the game *FUN*. Wolfentein was one of the best games this year, and that was pure oldschool FPS fun...awesome game.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

Well they should wait for another year, and they will change their opinion 180 degree.



A lot of things could be done now to show what next gen gameplay is about but it requires a lot of work and a lot of gamers can't see past regular gameplay or don't want things to evolve at all.

AI for instance. AI greatly affects gameplay far more than 1080p vs 900p. A better AI for enemies, companions, NPCs and wild life could put games on a different level than where they were last gen.

We have cameras that can detect movements and facial expressions. Implemented well it could be a game changer. No need to replace the controller with camera movements, but the cam could be used to augment features from the game. Like characters could ask you to look away or just say no (in games like ME this could get conversations to a more life like level)...

Physics, destructions and atmosphere. A game like Drive Club is a great example of immersion through weather effects. Games could make use of that on a whole new level. It could affect how things react to environment.

All we get for now are last gen gameplay with better graphics.



Because innovation is the single best thing and every game without it is garbage.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Another useless article by Eurogamer. I am already avoiding their site
