| NYCrysis said: Everyone talks about graphics but how about ai and physics? Physics is what needs to be most improved from last gen to this gen. Battlefield started this with realtime destruction and I can only hope this gets better. Knack looks to be the leap for physics imo. Also so far resistance is the only game to have water that was dynamic and would have displacement depending on how something hits the water. For ex: A grenade would displace the water more than a bullet. That's what I want from next gen. |
This. Graphics have reached a plateau. There's only so much more polygons and better fancy textures you can throw at things. Game developers need to cut this obsession with "MOST REALISTIC GRAPHICS POSSIBLE" anyway. Yes, sometimes they're very pretty. But if I wanted a game to look like the real world, I'd go for a walk.
AI, Physics, GAMEPLAY. These are the things that SHOULD be the focus of this "next gen". Will they be? Sure. Maybe by Nintendo and a couple of other companies. Meanwhile, most will continue to simply pour on "them grafix".
