That's probably because I'm torn myself. I'm not even sure with all this we exchanged whether I'm right or you are to be completely honest. I just don't know. To be totally honest, I believe the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Simulation can only do so much, eye candy IS nice, and WiiU can offer a scaledown version without making the games unplayable or completely undesirable (though even this one is subjective and depends on taste/ability to spend). An exception might exist in what Cage is attempting to do, that is offer true human emotion using Computer Graphics. Less detail would hinder that. |
David Cage is only one example of what next gen will offer. In a way you're correct that we don't need the best graphics to make story based games that touch people like the Walking Dead game from Tall Tale (not that shitty survival instinct). Cage wants to have the full effect of storyline, gameplay and graphics, so essentially the full package. I think he needs to take a look at Walking Dead and understand what made that game GOTY over theirs and bring that into next gen. Beyond is a real looker though and maybe they've learned their lesson after Heavy Rain. The job is never done.
Action games after the Final Fantasy and Epic tech demos look like something not possible in the current gen. Actually not even graphically capable truly. Killzone 4 looks in games animations and graphics look beyond that of their CG cut scenes in KZ3. its astounding that this is just a launch title. By the time the PS4 and 720 are squeezed of their resources we will be seeing some unbelievable games that could not be fathomed on last gen tech.
