| Dinomax said: Lets be honest the talk of the newest games being a benchmark is just laughable at times. Why? Because there just doing what other games did earlier before them. Yes it nice since then they've learned from them and improved but they weren't the ones setting the foundation of the genre. So can we please stop this talk, or maybe PlayStation 3 fans keep coming in the Microsoft 360 section or vice versa, yes we know you enjoy your games doesn't mean you have to piss into everyone's cereals. |
I don't understand your point. Why should people being Playstation 3 fans have anything to do with their opinions on gaming benchmarks, unless they're fanboys....and if they're fanboys, it's very obvious, so an intelligent poster would know enough to disregard their opinions.
Seems a lot of people have different definitions of the word benchmark.
If a game raises the level of quality in other games, and said quality becomes a standard, then it has set a benchmark.
Some benchmarks from recent years in the gameplay department have come from the cover system in Gears, the onstar system in GTAIV(Fable 2, Dead Space, have copied very successfully), and the limb targeting system in RE4. The hardest genre to set benchmarks in is the FPS genre.
A benchmark isn't something that every new game copies. Games are still released today that aren't up to snuff with recent benchmarks set by the industry. Benchmarks improve a game, they don't create it.
As far as Gears 2 goes, we don't know if it's set any benchmarks, nor will we for a while.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
