They will hit the graphics celing sooner tough, there's a limit to what they will be able to do without affecting other aspects of the game, and then they will have to changer their methods and focusing in other aspects. Art style will be the first thing and would probably see less photorealsitic games if it were to happen. Im supposing tough, there's always room for a change of minds even with next gen being a big jump.


no they can just other things lol, who needs better AI or more dynamic enviroments when better graphics make for better advertising. If it's harder to differenciate in grphics it will just mean more work is put into it. 

No level of hardware power will force gameplay innovation, but more power does allow developers to do new things like fully dynamic enviroments, more complex AI, larger enviroments, more veriaty in NPCs in any one area etc. 

Outside FULLY dynamic enviromets, the others arent really new things. There have been games that showed some of those this gen. But you made me realize my mistake, "force" woul be the wrong word, "can lead to" would be a better phrase.

Complex AI in a large, complex and highly interactive world? The games visuals, frame rate and online player counts can suffer from this. This is not only an aesthetic problem for many people as bad visuals can take you out of the experience e.g. low-res textures and aliasing in a game that's supposed to look realistic, the frame-rate directly affects gameplay in a big way on Sports games, Shooters and Racing games, and for online counts and the other factors, look at BF3 on consoles and compare it with the PC version. 

And better hardware will also bring us better multi-tasking, better UI in our console and generally just refined software like a better browser, better chat features, faster loading, several added features that are achievable on only better hardware (e.g cross game chat, browser whilst playing). 

Well look at how many people MAG managed to put in their game, BF3 followed the Badcompany way for me, game is not bad but didnt live to my expectations not even in PC. Sport's games dont really have big improvements in their visuals, so i cant really say they will suffer from it, they have a good performane and i think this one is the most important. CoD for example brings the same grphics each year but brings a constant 60fps wich is one of its main attractions ( Maybe the only one) and people are ,saddly, happy with that. Now games that highly depend on visuals aspects might be another thing, Gran Turismo for example.

Also with the rumored specs should be enough to improve some of thoset features. The Vita can do cross game chat and it's not as powerful as ps3.
