More like developers want to cater to consoles that are 6 to 7 years old because it is a good market for revenue, therefore a lot of the PC titles are shafted as console ports. This has been proven with Battlefield 3, as it was developed from the ground up on the PC, and it most certainly looks "next gen".

Any remotely good $150 GPU in today's age would be sufficient enough to generate a significant difference. That, and more RAM.

"It can when you stream textures from disc ala Unchartered, and more so if you can make that process more efficient!"

Aren't games in general streamed from a disc? And to be perfectly honest. I would much rather prefer Uncharted being installed than streaming. You ever skip a custcene in that game?...

They've been out for 6 to 7 years. Do you actually believe that there would NOT be a significant upgrade? How much longer do you want to wait?

"One developer working on Wii U, who wished to remain anonymous, told Eurogamer Wii U ports will at best look as good as PS3 and Xbox 360 games."

Lol... an anonymous developer.

That doesn't change the fact that it's the same price as their home console/entertainment center.

It has some good titles right now, but I've only actually bought one. Also memory cards for the thing are horribly overpriced.

Well considering that they based the first Anniversary off of a 10 year cycle, I'm going to assume that they would base all of them on this concept.

Also, Halo is doing this because it's Halo. It kind of overshadows a lot of the HD collections that come out. Maybe it's because that when a Halo comes out, it's expected to be good. It would make more sense to release a second anniversary on a new engine. Halo 2 was on a new engine compared to CE. It would be wei...

Probably because they're based off of 10 year anniversaries, and Halo 2 Anniversary Edition would have to release in 2014 for it to be 10 years.

Pretty sure there's no such thing as Next Gen PC. With that being in mind, what exactly do you consider next gen if NONE of the games coming out on PC are said next gen?

Do you expect Avatar quality? lol...

Worth owning, in your opinion. I never said the games were bad, did I? Just that they weren't worth purchasing.

I beat the shit out of God of War 3, 3 times in a week. And the only reason I did that was because I tried to justify the purchase. That's not worth owning. I could have rented that and saved myself over half a bill. Sure the games can be good, but I need more gameplay time to justify spending $65 per game. I've owned and beat all the Uncharteds, which ...

How are people disagreeing with you? There's really no logic behind releasing the same game on two different platforms at the same time if it's not a bundle.

And while I own a vita (nifty defice), I would much rather prefer it on the big screen at a much higher resolution.

And MARIOFTW makes a good point. This is almost tarnishing the Vita's library. It's neat that it can run on the vita, but where's the vita specific Sly game? They're...

Pretty sure it works just fine for augmenting the games I already own with motion controls, head tracking, specific voice commands, etc.

Works great for Mass Effect, Skyrim, Forza, Tom Clancy games, etc.

It looks like shit compared to what? You can't just say that it looks like shit without comparing it to something else that would make it look like said shit. It looks a hell of a lot better than anything currently out.

Accuracy to what? The first model was much more accurate. That's probably why most people compared her to Ellen Page, and that's probably why they changed her appearance. That, and they maybe wanted a younger character model.

Yeah because even though Diablo 3 isn't exactly a demanding game for current hardware, it still requires at least a gig of RAM to run sufficiently, and I know it would be somewhat dumbed down for a port, but why make it then? It needs to be seen for what it is lol.

How? There's so much traffic and server maintenance that I can't even log in right now...

-Twisted Metal - Did not do well. Did not sell well. Who cares.
-Tales of Graces f - Not exclusive
-MLB 12 The Show - sequel
-Yakuza Dead Souls - sequel
-Starhawk - Sequel. Only one I really care about on this list.

Cool list bro.

Doubt that. Unless you count every PS3 exclusive as a AAA exclusive? Honestly, you guys seriously overhype them all. Only about 10% of them are worth owning, just like on every other platform.

So you admit that you're stupid. Sorry, I just had to.

Anyway, story, dialog, characters, combat, graphics, sound, controls, I'd give to The Witcher 2. Open world, choose what to do etc., loot, exploration, lore, I would give to Skyrim.

And as you can tell, they're both two... completely different games. Saying one is better than the other doesn't really make sense.

5059d ago 1 agree3 disagreeView comment

Yeah, I'm sorry, but the PS3 crowd really over hypes the list of exclusives and how amazing they are. To be honest, 80% of them, just like on the other two consoles, aren't really that great. I've owned plenty of them, but I wouldn't say they're better than many multiplatform games just because they're made by Sony.

The majority of my gaming will be spent with multiplatform titles this year.

I thought they also stated that it was close to being completed, as well. If they're not showing anything, then it's not a good sign.
