To be honest that would be kind of dumb unless they had construction crews going around trying to fix broken signs, etc...  Just leaving it damaged wouldn't make sense unless it was the end of the world (for humans).  It would be cool now that I think about it if it was for multiplayer but single player I wouldn't like that unless it was repaired by NPCs.

forget graphics im still waiting for a true top gear 3000 sequal and good split screen hd games haha that will never happen under the watchful eyes of ms or sony thats a given if we based it on this gen

new innovation incoming! Mario and Link will now have ponytails! will this be the end of all nagging and make these games new and fresh again?

I'm sure there are a decent amount of good split screen HD games.  Twisted Metal comes to my mind that just came out. 

From my experience, women with ponytails are horrible people. Of course, my experience with women is limited to contact with my mother, whom is a horrible person.

Next gen is going to be same as this gen just with slightly better gfx and physics / AI.

Tell me when you post something real.

I'll just ignore the OP and say that I agree with the title. Mainly because this will be the first gen. where I'm actively involved in gaming.

Can't wait to see characters with ponytails next gen, I bet it will be the new bald!

THIS. DEFINITELY THIS.

What a complete and utter waste of time/resources. Guess who's tax dollars are paying for this eh.
