Next gen offers not much except for graphics

Yep a tiny pad with buttons... more of them, more possibilities... 

I already stated that PS4 has a trackpad and I hope they use it way more than they used that Sixaxis tilt thingy. Put features on your controllers ok but use them so we know it's not just the same controls from the gen before... PS1-PS2-PS3 and now PS4 have almost the same controller... possibilities are too close to say they offer new possibilities, except for the trackpad.

Starfox and Killer Instinct are not necessarily more fun than NES games, but they offer everything not possible on NES, be it graphics (to this extend I have to say it), sounds, controls man everything screams I'm a next gen game... now look at Infamous Second Son vs Infamous 2... they are the same game one with better graphics that is it...

I'm not saying they are bad games... I'm saying up until now, next gen don't offer much except for better graphics and it's a let down.

So essentially STarfox and K.I. are higher tech than Nes games right? Infamous: SS is higher tech than Infamous 2...same thing. You are comparing different genres of games to make a point. Star fox and K.I. only screamed "nex-gen" because their style of games weren't done on NES previously. Now, to use your type of comparison, what was the difference between Super Mario Bros (NES) and Super Mario World (SNES) besides graphics? In both games, you jumped up and down and moved from left to right. Both were also played with 2 buttons.

Yup, he pretty much contradicted himself, with what he said at the start of the thread. NES to SNES was for the most part graphics. Sound is on a level now that we probably won't go much higher than that, maybe 9.1 surround support and better sound chip but we won't have a revolution here ever again. And when we compare PS3 launch titles, not to mention X360 launch titles, what we see now in terms of graphics and scope is a quantum leap. Way more immersive worlds, thanks to more spacious maps, more NPCs, physics effects, and a plethora of effects make the games finally feel alive.
