Forums - Gaming Discussion - Next gen offers not much except for graphics

most of the games are cross gen, you won't see true next gen games until late 2014/15. This arguement is still as stupid as it was when the Dreamcast was announced anyway.

Your post has absolutely nothing to do with OP and its argument.

The only game that has wow'd me so far is Ubisoft's The Division. I knew all next gen would be all about higher resolutions and framerates. I'm not sold on any next gen console, and I'm certainly not paying any kind of fees.

I am looking forward to less than retarded A.I.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

I feel like this will be a gen of improving on what is already out there, graphics actually are the least impressive thing I'm seeing (by no means bad however)

The culmination of all this 7th gen nonsense came today when I watched a gameplay video from the upcoming Thief game... Technology could add so much depth to gameplay but instead they foucs on hand-holding and stupid gimmicks as selling points and spend entire budgets on particle effects while booting out every employee that could have written a single interesting piece of dialogue or plot.

The development now is grim indeed for my part, the worst danger signs I'm seeing is developers like Bioware starting to go for chest high walls and cover-based shooting and removing RPG elements (Dragon Age and Mass Effect) and strategy games getting rid of the need to employ actual strategy (Might & Magic Heroes VI springs to mind as a perfect example).

If that is what sells though..

Sure it does almost all of the games shown at E3 started out on and or are still coming to PS360. No shit they would be possible outside of the graphics. The first batch of games at every new console generation since the dawn of 3D games has had the exact same argument layed against em. It's going to take a few years for developers to build ground up experiances around new hardware.

The OPs argument is silly

Next gen offers a lot of non-gaming. On the X1 and PS4 deliberately, on the Wii U by accident.

You mean it's an accident that Nintendo has released zero Wii U games for the past 6 months?

Yes, that wasn't planned.

On the other hand, Microsoft and Sony encourage you to not play their systems once you've bought one.


You're like the Lisa Lampanelli on consoles.  Everyone's fair game lol.

I dont know about you OP but there's plenty of games I want (that will come out on PC and Wii-U).

Kingdom Hearts III and FFXV by themselves make the PS4 worth buying.

This is my answer to the OP (the bolded part)

The only thing the SNES offered over the NES was better graphics/tech. It was still a great upgrade

I agree but it could be because there were so many new IP's back then.

Out of all three systems only the Xbox one seems like a true next gen console, with the whole cloud aspect, multimedia options, and the new Kinect. The PS4 to me at least seems like nothing more than ps3.5

Nintendo is just off in their own world.
