Volition - Long console cycles allow time to optimize games

Saints Row: The Third developer Volition won't join the trend of calling for a new generation of consoles.

That's according to Eric Barker, who told MMGN.com that longer console cycles allow games to grow and become familiar.

thats true , but graphics look like ps2 graphics.
maybe there should be a option to upgrade the graphics card

Blaine5349d ago (Edited 5349d ago )

Long console cycles do a number of things:

-Allow devs to optimize their engines.

-Engines they've already developed and optimized means lower production costs and faster development cycles.

-Lower costs and faster development means more willingness to take risks.

That means we get potentially more innovative or creative games toward the end of consoles' life cycles. I wouldn't refuse an upgrade in hardware, but right now between the choice of a new batch of release titles or more of the amazing games we're getting at the moment, I wouldn't mind sticking with this gen a little while longer.

I'm either way, really. If the PS4 launched tomorrow I would buy it. A lot of people wouldn't buy it yet, and they'd be getting amazing current-gen titles too. Seems like a win/win to me! That's why devs are on both sides of the fence.

I wouldn't buy PS4 if it came out tomorrow. I'd wait 1-2 years till price comes down and more AAA titles are released and dev got a better handle on the new hardware.

Whenever the next gen comes out, games will be released for both PS4 and PS3 for at least another year or two. Two years after launch, you could buy the PS4 for at least a 40% discount from launch price.

Blaine5349d ago (Edited 5349d ago )

But two years after launch the PSN Id Blaine will have been stolen from me. That's why I need to buy the PS4 day 1! Just like I got the PS3... day 3 (was good enough!).

For real though, I got a PS3 right away becaus I really wanted to play Resistance. And it was a great decision! 40 players online was an amazing experience back then, and the game was tons of fun, and lightyears ahead of anything PS2 players were getting at the same time.

Slightly disappointing game but Wo Long had a good creator. I was impressed by Oblivion back in what 05, 06? But the worst i have ever seen, clearly, Valheim.

ModsDoBetter1148d ago

What was up with Wo Long?

Not looked at any reviews and did download it on my Xbox before I sold the console but never got around to playing it. Saw it drop in price on PS5 and was thinking of picking it up.

RE: Character creation

Oblivion hold a special place for me, when it came out on PS3, it was the first game of its kind that I had played and the character creator took was amazing.

I do like Monster Hunter: World & FFXIV, personally.
Cyberpunk did good in that department, despite its numerous flaws.

IamTylerDurden11148d ago

I played Oblivion day 1 on 360 and was impressed with the creator. Damn near 20 yrs ago, it was impressive at the time. Special game, unfortunately 90% of current gamers on social media have not a clue about the older stuff. Elder Scrolls is just Skyrim to many. They know not of Gothic and the old guard that paved the way. Flimsy ass rhetoric and recycled opinions about the same bs is what garners attention. Meme culture. Insight and intellect hold no place on the current day internet. Fuck likes, follows, BS. I say what i believe is relevant, what i'm interested in, and following means fuck all bc i don't respect 99% of the ppl online anyway.

For the "TLDR" bs. I'ma not space it out on purpose. Fuck you very much folks.

isarai1149d ago (Edited 1149d ago )

Honestly the one I remember being easiest and flexible enough to make any character I imagined was the PS2 WWE games, and Saints Row 2. I did really enjoy Dragons dogmas character creation too

EternalTitan1148d ago

Where is Black Desert Online?

IamTylerDurden11148d ago (Edited 1148d ago )

I was gonna mention Black Desert but the game is horrible so...

Creator was the best part.

Lol CP 2077 is one of the easiest and less detailed editors around. It's all a mish-mash of presets.

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series

Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground

Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3

And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2

Gardenia1252d ago

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim1252d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno1252d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.

FFXIII-Snow's Shiva motorcycle
Persona 5-Makoto's Persona motorcycle
