I said next gen, not cross gen. Cross-gen gimps games by default. Tomb Raider 2 will get this up the rear.

I literally cant think of any current gen only games atm lol. Doesnt change the fact that the consoles are fairly weak.


Thats the reason why next gen consoles were needed, so they wouldn't have to dumb down the games to a level so low that it would look like you're getting two different games like cross-gen. It dumbs down the possibilities. They need the money that console gamers provide to fund their next ventures. PC wins by default because of capability and upgradable nature, but the sales on consoles are the reason why they hold back. Also, people who are privy and versed on gaming have some idea of PC's being better but like what consoles offer exclusively despite it all. They just want to game. Assassins Creed was developed with the PC gamer in mind, primarily. Now games like Far Cry? I can completely understand you if the game was gimped, but I doubt the next gen consoles will hold back PC until like 3-4 years from now. The amount of ram needed to run games is perfectly fine and the GPU is fine. High level PC graphics at the start of the gen is pretty good, i'd say. 


Currnt gen was needed cause the old systems were weak but Sony/MS designed around cost not power. Every game, even double cross gen(Ps3/4/PC/X360/1) should have some sort of advantage on PC other than frame and resolution. Games like Watch Dogs had super high graphics axed cause of consoles. Shadows of Moridor Ultra settings textures are the same as PS4(possibly X1 havent seen a comparison). Its not because PS4 is that good its because its good enough on PC and it gives them time to work on other versions in time to make what they are aiming.

Current gen systems are not nearly close to high end as the PS360 systems were. On top of that the familiar arcitecture will make the consoles easier to max out. We wont know until most cross plats go only current gen and that doesnt seem to be the case until late 2015/2016.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
