Even if it was next gen it wouldn't matter, developers on consoles would rather their games LOOK good that PERFORM good, even if the PS4/XB1 were more powerful dev's will find away to maximise the graphics at the expense of the performance.
Reason being it's easier to sell a game on screenshot's and youtube video's (YT doesn't allow 60fps), that and the average consumer is clueless when it comes to 30-60FPS, all they care is if the game looks good. <...
Strange because from what I've heard in this "community" 30FPS is suitable for every game besides Fighters/Racers/ Twitch Shooters.
Yet despite being delayed for over a year and being a racer running in 30fps, it ok as long as it's great game, I wonder if the reception would have been as civil if this was an X1 game.
It only affected North America gaming, however PC gaming, Japan, Europe, and South America were doing just fine, theres this annoying myth that ALL of gaming somehow died in 1983.
Highly unlikely we will see a return to that style unfortunately, classic survival horror just isn't that much "profitable" of a genre for major publishers, the success of RE4,5,6 allude to that statement, and considering the state Capcom is in, last I heard they had around 150 million in the bank, which isn't to hot for a major publisher such as themselves (GTAV costed more than that to make).
So when RE7 is revealed expect more from what we got from 6, hon...
In all fairness Majoras Mask was pretty damn depressing.
TBH i'm past the hype I just want the game to release already regardless of wether it meets expectations or not, 5 years since this game was announced, we're now in the 8th gen and all we've had is a 3 minute trailer, and statements like "still in development, be patient"
Release date ? Wow it only took them half a decade
The game looks crazy good, The Wii-U is definitely going to be my first next gen system, by the end of this year (I've been holding out on all 3) What I like is the amount of emphasis on the GAMEPLAY they showed in this direct, unlike other next gen games that just focus on how a the graphics and particle effects.
I cannot wait to get this game.
lol no, no it is not, at best it'll stand against a mid tier PC (not that there is anything wrong with that) But PC gaming in terms of hardware will always be 2 steps ahead of consoles.
You're kidding, there's no way in hell anyone can be that delusional, Do you have any idea how many hurdles the handheld needs jump to even be considered a moderate success ? Otherwise at best it's only ever going to be considered an over-glorified PS4 peripheral.
I hate how close the camera is to Spidey, in Spider-Man 2 it was fixed just right it made web slinging more exiting given your field of view, that and why do the graphics have this sepia filter look to it ?
Agreed it's gonna come down to 3 factors.
1. Price, Although Sony has said it'll be affordable, I can't see it costing less than $150, no matter how advanced it is, that's gonna be a hard sell for a peripheral, Kinect got away with it due to it's mass appeal, which leads me to my 2nd point.
2. Appeal : Who is this really gonna appeal to besides die hard gamers ? How are you gonna sell playing video games with a helmet over your head ? I ca...
At this rate they're almost gonna be in the same boat as Square Enix, based on the fact that they're remaking/ remastering old games more than there developing new games, How depressing is that when you think about it ?
That's exactly why I dislike Metacritic/ Gamerankings, there is no consistent standard in collecting reviews, so you're never really given an "accurate" review score, if there is one, that and any crappy, unknown/ un-credible review site can jump in an submit a review score.
I honestly think Metacritic is one of the worst things to affect gamings internet community.
No Demon's Souls/ LBP/ GOW 3...really ? Assassins Creed 2 number 5...really ? I wouldn't even put it int the top 20 games of the generation and that's arguably the best in the series
I..don't even..what..what is this ?
For a new IP released that late into the console life span, that's amazing.
@ZainreFang
"There are very few third party games that Nintendo's audience would buy in great numbers."
So please explain MGS-The Twin Snakes absolutely abysmal sales on the Gamecube ?
Agreed, I also wouldn't mind the series going back to the fixed camera angles, It added to the tension because you never knew what was around the corner, or at least make them dynamic like in MGS and GOW.
Also please make ammo/health LIMITED because that is what defines a SURVIVAL Horror, unlike Gears of Evil 5/6 this games never knew what they wanted to be. And what happened to Puzzles..complex Puzzles I can't remember any of them in RE6, and please for the love of ...

30FPS for a racer is huge bummer for me personally, I'm not sure if it's a deal breaker, but it's certainly put me on the fence with the game
I would rather Evolution be a Vita developer if anything , Polyphony Digital as well as SCEJS are said to make a comeback this generation so they'll be fine. But I agree we already have GT do we need another racing exclusive, do we need another shooter, if we have Uncharted (The Order) ?
