Uncharted 4 Is Scarily Realistic

Mindblowing and console gaming are not really connected.  I hardly game on a PC much anymore, so I am not a PC elitist.  I just know that if it's on a console and the best it's going to be is 1080p, the picture will at most "look good for a console game".

Compared to other console games, it will probably look better than most though, the series has taught us that much for sure.

You are someone who has let your past get in the way of your present.  

Just because something has been done better, doesn't mean it can't be incredible to have something that's already been done.  

There's no reason that you can't appreciate something, just because there's something better.

 

tl;dr:  I still find some SNES games to be mindblowing.  

No.

I just consider mindblowing = something new/original that hasn't been done before.  Not that we really have much to go off yet, but there certainly hasn't been anything mindblowing in the 1st year of this gen and nothing new or special in the last 3 years before then on the 360/PS3.

It is clear, gaming has moved into the retread territory.  Most games are retreads of some other game with shinier graphics.  On occasion we can get a game with compelling story (TLOU) or simple fun (Minecraft).  But, most if not all games are no longer even trying to be all that different or unique.  The problem is, if they are too unique, they probably won't have a chance to be commercially viable.  That is the one benefit that seems to be coming out of the indie games.  That only seems to lead to big budget ripoffs of the indie concepts a year or 2 later.  

I can only hope that the game is more than just a shinier version of it's predecessors.  I like the series and plan to get this game, I just know better than to set myself up for "mindblowing" expectations.
