Well said! There's nothing next gen except the ... oh ... I guess that makes it next gen

On topic, I'm really looking forward to Assassin's Creed.  

Here's an idea people. Before you criticize the article, read it first. They explain why they think its so great.

Ah...you mean how there's nothing next gen about Resistance and Halo 3 except for the prettier graphics.

That's out of context. He meant the interactivity between Altair and his environment, not me having to get out of my Barcalounger to swing my "racket." Different concepts entirely, a little bit on a high horse aren't you?

@mancandy, it seems to be much more in depth than that. GTA (was) still limited by design, which the writer mentions. Things we take for granted, like walking around other people doesn't happen in GTA(yet). Look outside of these concepts and let them sink, it's a much more complicated to get all of these concepts together.

The only thing that concerns me are the controls, but they liked em, not sure about hold the trigger all the time, we'll see.

I am def. excited about this game. can't wait to see the demo that comes out in a couple of hours.

Two things, rubido is not out of context since the headline of the article says "The first true next-gen experience has arrived." rubido is merely arguing the fact that it is already here.

I don't understand what you mean when you said  "like walking around other people doesn't happen in GTA(yet)."  Your character interacts with all sorts of NPCs in GTA.

The game does look cool, it looks like it will be a sort of "Super Prince of Persia." I still fail to see anything really new however.

I havent played the game yet, so I'm not gonna say anything about Assasins Creed in terms of how it plays or how it is next gen. (If any of you have played it, send me a message please)
Ok, seriously. If Wii sports motion control is so next gen, and it simulates Tennis, bowling, boxing, and anything else on that game so well. If you think it 'simulates' your CRAZY!!!

I can bowl with the flick of my wrist, I can play tennis, with the Wiimote in my mouth, and WIN. Seriously? That's simulation? Ok.

I love tennis, and I really enjoy bowling. Wii Sports does not feel in the LEAST bit like a 'simulator' which is what it's meant to do? Isnt it? If it's NOT a simulator... Then it's just another... game, with a diffrent interface. On a serious standpoint, if it is just a diffrent controller method, that is like the diffrence from Dual Shock2, VS Six Axis.

I'm sorry but I dont understand why 'motion' controlls mean so much. I think digital control to analog was a bigger leap than the 'motion' control they have today. Maybe the next gen motion control will allow for simulation of sports, and stuff, but this gen, it's nothing more than a diffrent type of analog stick to me. If the system was as advanced as you guys seem to make it, yes, I would be impressed. But to me all it is, is a analog stick based off tilt, and a button based accelerometer. Overall nothing special for me.

Assassin's looks great and I'll probably grab it for the PC, but someone please post the obligatory Jade Raymond pics.

i cant really define what "next gen" is, but if you consider that waving the wiimote as a next gen experience, what about the guitar in guitar hero? dance pad in DDR? what about the eye toy?. cmon playing a guitar in a game isnt that interactivity? dancing? doing things on screen?. how many "next gens" have we gone through then? i dont think next gen is really the term your looking for, more like innovative..

 "Jade Raymond pics." agreed ^^

its nex gen because a hot girl is in charge of making it... duh
