| The_vagabond7 said: So anybody with a 40 inch HD TV or larger will agree with you, rocketpig? How many people is that exactly? If the biggest contribution was the HD graphics then there is little point to the new generation. |
If you were okay with the old square 480i resolutions at 30fps, it's obvious we view gaming differently. I like the Wii as much as the next guy but I won't discount the advancements made by Mass Effect, Heavenly Sword, Assassin's Creed, Gears of War, and other games just because they use a standard controller. Without HD graphics and improved resolutions and sound, those games wouldn't be possible in their current states. Not all games would benefit from waggle just as not all games would benefit from HD.
There's definitely room for both in this market. I appreciate the HD improvements that lead to Mass Effect just as much as I appreciate the controller changes that lead to Mario Galaxy. Just as developers put out shovelware for the Wii, other developers are struggling to economically harness the power of the PS3/360.
I just don't see how anyone can possibly believe that HD resolutions and increased processing power are pointless. It gives developers more leeway to achieve an epic game (if that's what they're going for), in turn bringing us games that were impossible in the past.
