Guess we won't be seeing the PS4 anytime soon. Even the best looking stuff shown at this year's E3 didn't demonstrate a "significant leap" over the current gen. And yes, that includes the Unreal Engine 4 tech demo. Good luck getting actual games to look that good.

No, its just hype to get people excited about PS4.

UE4 does not look that great.   Luminous engine on the other hand is a BEAST!

Eitherway, the current consoles have pretty much hit a wall. For the past few years the visual improvements haven't been significant.

The only thing holding developers back from giving us significantly better looking games is the limitations of the current hardware.


Incorrect sir.

The thing "holding developers back", as you put it, is BUDGET(as well as a bad economy).

 

Example?  THE GREATEST PC GAMING stuff you can buy right now, and you still won't be getting NEXT GEN Software.

You've got some PC exclusives, such as DIABLO 3.....a AAA budget game, but guess what?  DIABLO 3 is last gen software tech.

Then you've go other PC exclusives....you've got THE WITCHER 2......BLACKLIGHT.....STAR WARS:TOR....HARD RESET, and the upcoming GUILD WARS 2.

All, nice games for sure, but none of those games is pushing next gen software boundaries.....not a 1.....they are all current gen tech.   If you can come up with 1, you can PM me....but we'll both be waiting a long time.

Considering that developers are having a hell of a time just staying in business right now, then it's not wonder most developers outside of some elite ones that you can count on 1 hand, are saying that they'd like this gen to go on for a bit longer.

Bringing a new consoles sooner rather than later, won't bring 10 times the graphics or 10 times the gameplay, as much as it will bring 10 times the bankruptcy.
