| Ssliasil said: I love the PS4 and am gaining healthy respect for the Xbox One...but something about this generation is off...I cant quite put my finger on it. Lack of Mystery perhaps? I remember back when the X360 and PS3 were new, there was this air of mystery about everything...not just because of the massive power boost from PS2/Xbox - PS3/X360 either... There was this very fun creative atmosphere from the developers that was just awe inspiring for some reason. Not all titles were GOOD per say but they were all - oddly, extremely exciting...Remember when MGS4, Halo 3 and Gears of War 1 released? How about that feeling around the Heavenly Sword (awesome) and Lair (fail) releases? Those were epic feels! Those were followed up by Uncharted and Little Big Planet and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare...wow now that I think back about it..that...that was an amazing time for gaming. EVERYTHING was fresh and new! Even sequels...its a feeling im missing so far. Strangely enough, I think the closest its been was Ryse: Son of Rome...and I haaaaate that game...But it feels a lot like Heavenly Sword did. Maybe im looking back with rose-colored glasses but...those were really fun times. |
Lack of power.
This generation doesn't make you sit in awe of the gameplay or how the games look. It is simply a bit of a spit polish on what we have had for 7+ years. Just playing Star Citizen for the PC and frankly this game would count as 9th gen (damage model, detail, gameplay, graphics - all of it) as it us so beyond every other game...and it is in alpha.
