A good read. Many important points hit, such as the limits of technology spurring on amazing creativity vs high tech allowing more lazy shiny. What was technology when electricity or the light bulb or telephone were made possible? These were people that were thinking beyond what the convention was, solving issues with new tech, not just improving the old tech. How many years later, and we are excited about a few more polygons etc over what the prev. gen gave us? I totally get this guys point of view.
A friend of mine asked me yesterday, "what does it offer me over my ps3?" And really, what does it truly offer thats new and fresh? I guess, not a lot other than software support over the long term when they decide to drop the not good enough ps3.
Now, I'm not saying there won't be stellar gaming experiences to be enjoyed on the system...because of course there will be. But, is it really that much better than we have experienced in the past because of greater power? Or will it be more of the same goodness with a shinier cover because devs will be looking at ways to make the games look better, rather than take what power they had and find new ways to utilize it or find fascinating new ways to design games to make up for the fact that they cannot go any further down the road of pretty?
A good read indeed
