Oh, I have no doubt that the tech/numbers will show a next-gen increase over PS360, but my question is will we actually be able to see a leap that pronounced? I mean, looking at some of the PC games coming up (Star Wars 1313, Watchdogs, Fortnite), while they do certainly look better than the current consoles, I don't personally see a leap as large as, say, the PS1 to the PS2. Perhaps on a high end PC where they're running at native 1080p/60fps with full effects, but as you said, the next gen consoles won't be at that level. I'm not trying to downplay the next-gen consoles for what they'll offer; I think they'll be great. Heck, I think WiiU is great. I just think that what Yerli says makes sense in that it's just not feasible to include the tech that would show a complete head-and-shoulders jump (for the enthusiasts and the masses alike). |
The key changes will be in how games are built and designed with more advanced hardware in mind. Games like Watch Dogs and Starwars 1313 are basically current gen games with all the knobs turned up to 11. Games for next gen consoles designed arround tesselation, GPU physics, Compute shading etc will look vastly different to how they do now on the same hardware, just how it went this gen. Software is just as important as the hardware it's self, and just like this gen of consoles launched with games like this
and are now look like this
and this
Next gen will start out like this (maybe not exactly but close enough)
and this
And who knows where they will end up
