So it would appear Bayonetta 2 has flopped. We need to talk about it.

What makes a game "next-gen" then? AcUnity for example struggles to keep 30fps.  You may say Bayo2 isnt next gen, but i dont see these "next-gen" games you talk about. They are a dream. Bayo 2 is here, it looks amazing and it plays amazing. I dont know how that can be anything less than an advancement.

We are going a bit off-topic here though. :P

AC Unity is a bad next gen game. Bayo2 is a great game that is only "next gen" in catagory. It's not next gen in features. Galaxy is also good and plays amazing. Does that make it next gen? No. That makes it good. 

Yes, but what makes a game "next-gen"? Because its not something thats easy to tell apart anymore.

I see next gen as upholding or improving upon quality from last gen with better production values and subtle gameplay or feature tweaks. I cant think of any other way to describe next gen based on what the X1, PS4 and Wii U currently offer. How is next Forza 5 more next gen than Forza 4? How is 3D World more next gen than Galaxy 2. How is Mario Kart 8 more next gen than Mario Kart Wii? How is Need for Speed Rivals more next gen than Most Wanted? Id like to hear what other people consider to be next gen.

If AC Unity wasnt such a broken mess itd be as next gen as Far Cry 4. And while all the focus is always on its bugs early videos from Ubisoft claimed that enemy AI was completely revamped, as well as traversal, as well as building interiors and of coure the addition co-op. No one talks about those things, only missing faces and ridiculous pop-in. Ubisoft dropped the ball on that game big time. Id hate to be a developer on that team, to see ll your efforts overlooked because some greedy suit rushed the product to market.
