Next-Gen Consoles

[sk8master]

When new consoles come out in the future(PS3 etc) Whatz gonna be new?
I mean, Better graphics(who gives a Damn?) :confused:
What can be new?

[Craig Himself]

i giv a damn about graphics ALOT.
How the game feels as well. how much stuff is in the game.
I think crap games r out now cos they run outta ideas 4 a new game.

[sk8master]

totally agree wit you. But what I mean is what can be new instead of just better graphics.

Faster loading times are always possible. And same with smaller and cheaper games.

I don't think games and consoles will really get cheaper... I think they're getting more expensive... Playstation 1 or Nintendo was never $500 like the XBox use to be (until it recently dropped its prices).

I don't see how they could get much better... possibly better graphics but I mean once the games look real, how much better can they get? Unless you're actually INSIDE the game which isn't likely to happen anytime soon. That's some crazy Matrix stuff for our children....

Anyway I still like playstation 1 myself.... Games are only as good as the programmers make them,.. if they don't have a good story and gameplay then who cares about the graphics?

People really think that the graphics are 90% of the game's quality...and they're wrong, because if a game doesn't have a well built story and user-friendly gameplay, even with f*cked up gfx, the game wont be cool to play. I think next gen consoles will try to put the enphasis on the online multiplayer support, on better graphics and maybe on better controls...also, they if they wanna sell a lot of games, they have to put more time in programing them, look out for bugs and write good stories....there still is too much game about:
-You're a counter-terrorist, save the hostages, disarm the bomb, kill that guy (all the R6 and Rogue Spear games, CS, global operations, SOF and SOF2, Team Factor, etc...)
-Also, too many sequels and license abuse (C&C games, Star Wars and Star Trek game (many of them suck, others are good (mmmm...JK2 :))))
-To many lame stories about revenge (Max Payne, 1/2 of all the action games in general)
-The classic "you have a day to save the earth from Aliens"
Oh...and you should also be able to change the ending of the game depending on your actions, just like "blade runner" did back then.

the plot is wat makes a game great. the story and the gameplay has to work out right.
