Not at all, especially since I still have a good chance of getting Tales of Xillia and possibly Xillia 2 on PS3, along with TLOU and God of War. Oh yeah, can't forget Ni No Kuni!!!!


I am in the boat that believes the only ones not wanting a new generation yet are PS3 owners.

I think I've been ready for the next gen for a while. Right now on my PS3 wanted list I have BioShock Infinite and GTA V, and that's it. I have no faith in there being any more announcements of interesting games either. This is after only buying Sports Champions, LA Noire and Arkham City on release since Sept 2010, and 2 out of 3 of those were disappointments. Anything else I've wanted, I've not wanted enough to pay full price for.

WiiU not next-gen enough for ya?

We do need a new generation IMO, and we'll see it soon I believe. That's a good thing. Newer gaming experiences, the better.

On top of that there's usually support for AA, some nice lighting and shadows and a large draw distance. That alone does already a lot for me, so I'm happy to wait a couple of years for the next gen. I might even get some more enjoyment out of my PS3 after I'm done with the new R&C game,  TLOU and The Last Guardian.

Sorry to break it to you but PC will always have the better looking games.

If PS4 comes out Holiday 2013 its perfectly fine for me, I can live with my PS3 for another 18 months. More the enough games coming out like NiNoKuni, SLy4, Beyond, GoW:A, The Last of Us, The Last Guardian, Okami etc

Maybe in higher resolutions, but Uncharted 3, Killzone 3 or Last of Us and GoW: Ascension look on par if not better than pc games

Do you realize what you've just unleashed!?!?

*Runs*

I pretty much agree. While I do think this generation is still fantastic, I think that the better graphics capabilities we get, the more Hollywood-like games will become. So therefore I think this trend with the combo of huge budget + cinematic gameplay will only be worse with next gen.

I really want the middle ground to survive. The $10 to $20 million budget games that are niched at hardcore gamers who put gameplay first. Projects that know from the start that they have a clear upper limit for sales. They don't dream of becoming the next big thing, they know can't sell more than 1-2 million, perhaps 3 million, but that's fine.

Games like Dark Souls, Deus Ex, Silent Hill, Prey 2, Dishonored, Dead Island, XCOM.

With the pressure from publishers to become the next big thing, many game series have been adapted to a broader audience but with the price of lacking gameplay. They've been given bigger budgets but forced to become more "accessible" and cinematic.

Examples of this are Tomb Raider, Far Cry, Splinter Cell, Dead Space, Resident Evil, Castlevania, Dragon Age (but it thankfully failed miserably) and Elder Scrolls.

I can wait, but not too much. Late 2013 is fine to me.
