I find their use of the phrase 'next-gen consoles' humourous in this context; Completely sidestepping the Wii U as anything of the sort.
Most of the world has no idea what that analogy means.
Worse, developers can't even program directly on the hardware, so they can't even efficiently use all the memory available to them. The arm's length APIs are really restrictive. A good comparison, for example, is Gears of War on PC, which has a minimum memory of 1GB and recommended of 2GB, with Windows having a recommended 128MB of RAM, yet the game can run better on a 500MB system than on most PCs which exceed the recommended specs. (This is not a good example comparative to toda...
Hellooooo 6 years later. Anything less would be uncivilized.
Classy.
It will require a USB dongle.

You say 'just like PS2 HD remasters' as though they're somehow insignificant improvements.
You cannot play God of War HD on PS3 and then go back to PS2 and tell me it's the same. The improved resolution and improved framerate make the GAMEPLAY experience better. You swing your blades faster. Kratos feels faster and more powerful. Your eyes can resolve more detail and provide better feedback as to where to place your next attack. Everythin...
Increased draw distance and 60FPS across the board would fall under the category of a 'graphical leap'.
I think those are two things which will actually be standard in the next generation, along with 1080p and various means of improved anti-aliasing.
Ironically, he got the point while completely missing the point.
Not caring about RAGE is fine.
Why should we care about your opinion?

Don't really give a damn about what Todd Howard thinks one way or the other.
You lost me at 'amazing musical score'.
Assassin's Creed does just fine on the current controllers. Beyond that, Ubisoft and their opinions are worthless to me.
If you want an example of what not to do, just look at Gran Turismo 5. The 3D effect is non-existent.
If you want an example of what to do, just look at Uncharted 3. Its 3D implementation is amazing.
I think the audience definitely exists. It's arguable if the audience actually owns the hardware on which it was being developed.
I don't believe Mega Man is dead. I do know that without him, Capcom is dead to me.
The split memory in the PS3 is definitely an unnecessary hurdle.
Those are some barren looking environments.
Sorry dude. FortressCraft is a Minecraft clone.
