That's a fundamentally silly attitude to have. It's effectively dismissing all technical progress and saying 'gameplay' like a mantra.
Well if that's the case, why have next-gen consoles at all? Why have new engines at all? Titanfall has been shown to play just fine on the 360 after all, with only differences being some graphical detail really. It's the same gameplay right? And graphics don't matter at all. Heck, they should just cancel the XB1 and PS4 and refund everyone's money, and no engines newer than 2004 should exist. :P
Nope, sorry.
Graphics AND gameplay work together, and Source is a horrible engine for a slow 8-core CPU. The right optimization and modern engine could have the same great TF gameplay that you love, but running much smoother with better modeling, better textures, better effects, and so on. Better.
