The current generation stretches back as far as 2005 and did not really enter into what gamers were expecting graphically until 2008. Games likes Metal Gear Solid 4, Gears of War, and Resident Evil 5 helped push graphic realism to its players. A few years later, games such as Uncharted, God of War, Killzone, and Gran Turismo 5 really blew players away in the graphical aspect. It seemed as if the systems had hit a peak, then rumors started swirling about next generation systems, signaling the beginning of the end of this current generation.
Take-Two Interactive revealed it is pausing development on its Nintendo Switch 2 edition of "Borderlands 4" in its latest quarterly earnings.
The new trailer for the free 60 FPS update is here.
I'm happy with Part 3 & Blood Dragon getting the 60FPS treatment. I'll eventually try Primal, maybe this weekend.

It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.
Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."
I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.
After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.
It’s funny to watch the only games EU and USA agree on was Minecraft and back ops 7 both regions on 6 and 7 spot respectively other than that FIFA rules EU

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.
To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.
Bioshock Infinite needs to be included in this as well.
Xbox720 will be at E3. May even be shown at CES, but definitely E3 2013.
games are looking better because devs have come up with creative ways of displaying their game not because ps3/xbox still haven't reached their full potential. the lighting affects in thelastofus for example all comes from natural light and so they had to play with the lighting system to make it look good. halo4 has some amazing scenes going on in the background with massive structures and planets coming from the sky. creativity is what is making games look better you can really tell which developers are capable of using the resources that they have to create a great game rather than wait it out for next gen
What I don't understand is why pc gamers get high end card that will never reach their true value or will never be really optimized .. I will get mad, it's a rips of. I know it take years for optimization but there is no enough time to do so because a new card comes out and devs have to move on and never use their real potential or have time to use their creative side.
Any gamer can agree that console let devs time to use new ideas and that is why most consoles games are just more fun. That is also why devs like valve can make good fun games since they optimize old tech and use their creative side(l4d, portal, tf) and this is why crysis is just boring.
That is why nintendo games are just more fun!
Devs next gen should focus on their creative side first make the game fun! And good visuals will come once there is time for it.
