| OdinHades said: But I also liked the hardware a lot more. The PS3 was a monster that could run Linux and do all kinds of crazy stuff. It just felt like something from the future. The PS4 was cool and all, but it never really got me excited. Which is also because a lot of the stuff that was new in the 7th gen is stuff that I was getting used to. It didn't have that sense of wonder anymore. Yes, I do know that is also very subjective. |
Yeah I really loved that about the 7th gen too, that sense of wonder and excitement. Whether it was the HD blockbusters of PS3/360 or the motion controls of the Wii, there was this feeling that we were in uncharted territory and anything was possible; that barriers were constantly being pushed and broken.
The 8th gen was more iterative, focusing mostly on polishing old concepts than pioneering new ones. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with that; many great games are iterations on established norms, but it didn't quite have the same wow factor, for me at least.
