People keep saying that and repeating that the boost in power enables better physics and animation, etc. But then again, I'm running through, what many consider to be the best next gen game, Gears of War, and there is not a lot of difference technically, once you get beyond polygon count and textures. The gameplay could be handled by everything out now, down to the Dreamcast. The controls leave something to be desired. When you run straight at a wall and not go into cover 80% of the time, you have to wonder about claims of the hardware superiority.
The claims out now, are that the 360/PS3 will lead to better gameplay. No, it's just better draw distance, more polygons, better music and sound. But then again, there was the part in the 2nd act where you have to stay in the light. Your teammate consistently walks unintentionally into the darkness, nor responds to it. It feels like a sham. Maybe it's just a game that was overhyped. But I don't see how games are PLAYED differently on the 360/PS3. Online was the last big shift in gameplay for consoles before waggle. Nothing else in the 360/PS3 looks like a big leap in gameplay.
I guess my biggest problem is that we are paying all this money for the same games. Companies are forcing crap down are throat for the same experience. Maybe it's because Nintendo placed a cheaper, more manageable option. But I end up feeling cheated. Ripped off. I'm going through Gears, d/l Rainbow Six Vegas demo, and I feel not totally satisfied. I think with these increased prices, expectations are higher and I'm not sure if the 360/PS3 can meet them.
Does anybody else get that feeling? Of course, I haven't played many of the 360/PS3 games but from what I have played, it's lacking. I think the price weighs heavily on my head. Props to others that don't feel that. And GTA better be good. If Wii games ramp up, GOW and GTA might be the only HD games I buy all gen.
" so its no problem, ok?
