DTG: Current-Gen Games Just Glorified Tech Demos?

It is no stretch to say that graphics are the main focus this generation. Sometimes, developers are trying their hardest to please fans visually and they forget there is still a game to make. There are games that combine both aspects and are executed very well, but those titles are in the minority compared to the big picture. We’re all for an outstanding-looking game, but the question “where is my game?” still remains.

When you buy them on sale they are worth the money 100%, when you pay £30-40 for a game it can essentially be a tech demo for the price you pay.

the Uncharted games have great graphics and gameplay.. More devs should put time into fleshing out the story and characters like ND!

Naughty Dog is awesome!

dedicatedtogamers4772d ago

Naughty Dog makes some excellent games, but they always keep in mind that their games need to be fun, too!

what's with all the PlayStation hate recently lol.

christheredhead4772d ago

haha i wasn't hating on god of war, sony or playstation. gow was merely used as an example so the picture is fitting for the article.

sjaakiejj4772d ago

graphics and gameplay are designed by different people in the game development process. One has nothing to do with the other, they are _independent_

dedicatedtogamers4772d ago

So you're saying that a videogame receives two completely separate budgets, one for gameplay and one for graphics? That's news to me.

sjaakiejj4772d ago

The budget doesn't affect gameplay, conceptually. It might lead to less content, but the game-design itself is not affected by the budget. The only thing that affects it is the quality of the game designer.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos48m ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis16h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast15h ago

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 11h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
