dgm6780 said: @gnizmo since you seem confused, next gen means something new that couldnt be done before, a totally new experience. yes next gen means Wii, Xbox360, and PS3. those are the consoles people recently bought to make the next gen leap. but technically you are right, its not "next" gen, they have reached the point where they are the current generation of systems but most people should know what was meant. Did you think I meant next gen as in best level in a game for the Xbox720 or Wii2???? |
I think your definition is too limited then. The games that have helped define each generation and show what was impossible before is not possible should get as much respect as any game that is trying to help define this generation. Super Mario 64 became a standard for what a 3-D platformer should be for over a decade now and is still aging extremely well. Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros. 3 are always heralded as the pinacle of the 2-D platformer and have defined expectations for going on 20 years now. Enough of my derail though I suppose.
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is a bit of a defining moment for me as well. I have never found a control scheme that feels as good as that games. Keyboard and mouse are technically better, but for a third person shooter I think the wiimote might be the way to go in the future.
