After playing many games this generation, i have been left feeling disappointed. Gears of War(360), Resistance: Fall of Man(ps3), Zelda(Wii), Ninja Gaiden Sigma(ps3), Lost Planet(360), Dead Rising(360), Rainbow 6 Vegas(ps3, 360), GRAW2(ps3, 360), Crackdown(360), Bioshock(360) and Oblivion(360, ps3) have all been great games, but have left me feeling unimpressed. "Why?" You say. The answer is simple. All those games that I have named above are great games, but they all fail at giving me a true next gen experience. Sure the graphics in all of them are top notch but after playing them, they give me the feeling of a last gen experience. If you strip away the HD graphics in all of them, what are you left with? Ps2 or xbox games.
Why can't we have innovative game play, top notch graphics, and a fantastic story all in one game? OH wait we do....LAIR(ps3)! After playing Lair, for the first time this generation, I have been impressed. And it's a real shame that many people will never experience this game do to poor review scores. Anyway, Nintendo gave us a innovative controller, but lack of foresight, caused them not to include any HD component. Microsoft gave us HD graphics and a complete online experience, but failed at creating reliable hardware, adding a next gen format, and HDD to the every 360 model. Which is hurting their console even now at the beginning of its life. Sony beginning the only console maker that had foresight built the ps3 with HD graphics, motion control, wifi, bluetooth enabled, mouse and keyboard support, flash memory card reader, and HDD in every model. But with the high price of the ps3 not every one is willing to PLAY B3YOND.
But believe me when I say that Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have done great things this generation. Nintendo has given us a new way of play games, Microsoft has successfully transferred pc online gaming over to consoles, and sony has made gaming popular to the masses. So in no way do I think any of the console makers should get out of the business because they all are needed. So have we entered next gen gaming? I would have said no, if i had not
played Lair, but after playing that game the future looks really good,
at least for Sony. Nintendo and Microsoft on the other hand, not so much.
Skewed and Reviewed have posted some video of the new Bethesda tables.
Reanimal is a horror story, a journey through hell made up of the simple, elegant gameplay that Tarsier has honed to a feather's edge over the last decade.
"Tarsier Studios and THQ Nordic are today very happy to announce that their highly anticipated horror game, ‘REANIMAL’, is out now for PC and consoles." - Tarsier Studios and THQ Nordic.
The funny thing is you are the only one that thinks Lair is better than all those other 360 games. I mean it didn't even get a good review. Seems like more Sony Troll syndrome.
