How 8th gen reviews work

I just wanted to enlighten some people here since it appears to be common concensus that reviewers are getting harsher in this new gen.

This is not the case.

It's really simply really.

Games later in the gen will be of a much higher quality both gameplay-wise as they incorporate the new technologies, and graphically as development techniques improve.

Example: It would be a mistake to give a game like titanfall a 10/10 when titanfall 3 will be several times better than the first.

This is because reviewers are giving scores based on "potential".

Which is inconsistent because scores should be given based on current competition and availability. A score should tell you how well the developers made a game....just like an olympic score. Is the game well made? Fun? Then it should score high. Just because a game in the future may be better does not mean a previous game should score worse...but this is how reviewers are currently scoring games.

You're welcome.

LOL

 

It has nothing to do with that. inFamous SS is a much better game than the first 2 yet it scores lower. Why? The same with LBP2, again much better than LBP1 but scored lower.

 

You cant make a sense out of reviews, use your own mind and judgment.

because you can't give out perfect scores or higher to games that come out early in the gen. Dude we saw the exact same thing happen last gen.
