Lulz :) But again, looking at those Unreal demos it shows me that all that stuff is possible today, minus the smoke, minus the lights, minus some of the finer detail. The David Cage stuff is, I admit, very impressive. Then again so is Beyond. So again diminishing returns. I was also watching my roomie play Darksiders 2 and it looked much better than darksiders which my other roomie was playing on 360, but it was just more crisp, clear and pretty, kind of like wearing a better set of prescription glasses after wearing the same glasses for a few years. It's nice for sure but it isn't the be all end all of gaming. I agree the improvements are exciting, but it's not like it'll make the stuff unplayable on the U and that's what I was trying to say. For COD Wii it did make a huge difference, like wearing the wrong prescription of glasses. Here, it's 21/20 vision rather than say idk 20/25 vision. The thing is still playable, it just isn't as nice. If that compromise isn't reasonable we'll just have to agree to disagree, or until more is seen from both systems. I'm going to get a U and a PS4/720 (one or the other depending on certain factors), but in the end I'm not sure this graphics thing will be more than eye candy at this stage in the game (the industry as a whole). We're reaching a point soon where new consoles won't be needed. I'm pretty sure of that. |
The point were we don't need consoles is still very far away imo. There are things nobody ever tried because the performance just isn't there. The rendering techniques Avatar used like Raytracing is still along way off PS6 eventually.. We could have a 1000 Teraflop console with 4 Terabyte Ram and we would still run into limitations. Videogames can theoretically be as complex as life itself. And every jump opens new and never before seen possibilities. Gamedesign very slowly evolves unlike graphics and with new possibilities, new game concepts come and motivate people to spend money. At the same time creating content gets easier with new technologies. This gen will be very interesting. Games are a slowly evolving medium and aslong as technology keeps on going we will always get to see stuff we haven't before.
I am already fed up with the state of games today and I am looking forward to changes in the next 6 years.
