Ohhhh please... the first true next-gen experience was Wii Sports. Do you really believe that the "take the interactive experience to a new level" is to climb anywhere? Interactivity? Tennis racket? Hello? Anyone out there?

That's out of context. He meant the interactivity between Altair and his environment, not me having to get out of my Barcalounger to swing my "racket." Different concepts entirely, a little bit on a high horse aren't you?

@mancandy, it seems to be much more in depth than that. GTA (was) still limited by design, which the writer mentions. Things we take for granted, like walking around other people doesn't happen in GTA(yet). Look outside of these concepts and let them sink, it's a much more complicated to get all of these concepts together.

The only thing that concerns me are the controls, but they liked em, not sure about hold the trigger all the time, we'll see.

 

Two things, rubido is not out of context since the headline of the article says "The first true next-gen experience has arrived." rubido is merely arguing the fact that it is already here.

I don't understand what you mean when you said  "like walking around other people doesn't happen in GTA(yet)."  Your character interacts with all sorts of NPCs in GTA.

The game does look cool, it looks like it will be a sort of "Super Prince of Persia." I still fail to see anything really new however.
