Great. That's all we need, frequent and incremental upgrades in the same vein as cell phones and tablets (and hey, look at what powers the PS4 and XBone).
If we start getting new consoles every 2-3 years, gaming will be dead to me.
So you've loved every MK game and you have the nerve to call the author a moron? How can your words be given any credence when you admit to a lack of impartiality? I'm sorry, but you can't expect everyone to be as much of a sycophant as you are. Different strokes for different folks.
Because the current generation of consoles isn't even equivalent to half of a generational leap. Look at the difference between the PS2/XBox generation to the previous gen. It was night and day; the 360 and PS3 were, for all intents and purposes, state of the art upon release.
What do we have today? Glorified tablets.
So basically, Battlefield with a gimmick.
We keep seeing these comparisons that are essentially telling us that this new generation of machines aren't the powerhouses we wanted them to be. In other words, they were rushed to market, and all you who kept crying for new consoles 2 years after the previous generation began only have yourselves to blame.
These aren't your cell phones or tablet PCs, and with diminishing returns impacting us more than ever (not to mention skyrocketing budgets and manpower requirem...
What's so amazing about any of that? Nothing we haven't seen before.
Looks like the game is almost as bad as the movie. Almost.
What makes hardcore fans hardcore?
Idiocy.
There is absolutely no good reason for the term 'hardcore' to ever be linked up with the terms 'fan' or 'gamer'
I don't know any hardcore photographers, hardcore movie goers, or hardcore bowlers. The idea itself is ridiculous, it speaks more to their insecurity than anything else, as if being hardcore adds some sort of legitimacy or edge to their fandom.
Umm....it doesn't look THAT good. Look at how blocky the muzzle compensator on that rifle looks...
The textures still manage to have that all too familiar look of wet rubber that has become the signature of UE, and the geometry still leaves much to be desired.
Looks like more of a sidestep than an upgrade.
Seems as though Microsoft and Sony both can't get their sh*t together, and third party publishing juggernauts like EA and Activision have been cesspools for the better part of a decade now. This is quickly becoming the worst time in history to be a gamer. Online passes, DLC nickel and diming, innumerable bugs/issues, last gen ports galore...what do they have in store for us next?
Hook it up.
Hook it up.
Processing power is much more than just graphics, but I am indeed a graphics whore; we all are. No matter how snobbish and indignant everyone likes to pretend they are, better (and/or unique) visuals, aesthetics, animations, and assets enhance the experience, period. With that being said, all of the games I'm seeing for both of these new machines are akin to the HD re-releases we saw on the PS store and XBLA previously. I haven't seen a single game demonstrate features and gameplay ...
Please not with this SquareEnix, and not on these underpowered consoles. I'd actually like the remake of a game like this to be something memorable.
When Square gets their act together and the console companies release cutting edge machines, then we can talk. As of right now, I'd actually vote against this considering the current state of things.
Not surprising.
That's what happens when the previous gen was built on cutting edge hardware, yet this time around we've got glorified tablet architecture.
As far is I'm concerned and unless some developers show me differently, the Xbone and PS4 both are the Wii 2.0 with regard to capabilities and the relative power gap.
I'm astonished that nobody else has pointed this out. Looking at the vids, everything that occurs is in VERY tight spaces. The reason this game looks the way it does is the same reason why fighters like Tekken look as good as they do - there isn't much to render due to the smaller scale.
1nsomniac gets it.
We've been hearing this "ZOMG it's gonna look so much more AMAZING when it goes gold!" since Killzone 2. Even with that game, the 'pre-alpha' footage was comparable to the final product, and was even superior in some ways (blood effects, lighting).
Too many gamers take for granted the idea that game development is a rudimentary process that just goes from A-B, and they psyche themselves up about it that even the...
My sentiments exactly. I can't believe that people that feel this way are in the minority; it just goes to show that there are a lot more consumer whore fanboys floating around than we'd like to believe. Never has a new crop of machines skimped on hardware so much since the Wii, and at least that had a unique control gimmick.
I'm still waiting to be wowed by this gen, otherwise I'll just skip it and hope that Sony and MS (if the latter even makes it throug...
I've been saying the same thing since these machines were revealed, but in all honesty, you're wasting your breath. The fanboys and sycophants that populate this place don't wanna hear any of that. Seems like people will gladly throw their money away for gimped products so long as they can manage to tell themselves that it's amazing.
