E3 2012: Are Watch Dogs & Star Wars 1313 A Glimpse Of Next Gen?

NowGamer: "As the last E3 before we properly dive into next-gen, are Star Wars 1313, Watch Dogs and Crysis 3 examples of what we can expect from a new set of hardware?"

They are kinda, yeah. Both are some of the most impressive graphics I've seen.

But a true glimpse of next gen is Square Enix's Luminous Studio Real-Time Demo. Have you seen that sheit!?

The question is can a consumer console run it

house4338d ago (Edited 4338d ago )

that demo makes me kinda wonder if its real or fake it might be possible, and i would be more then willing to eat my words if next gen console games turn out looking like that or better

GillHarrison4338d ago (Edited 4338d ago )

It's definitely not faked, but it doesn't show any actual gameplay. It's all pre-calculated. So at the very least cut-scenes can look incredible. It was also running on a high-end PC, so until we see the specs on the next consoles you can't really determine what they can and can't do.

morganfell4338d ago

The Star Wars demo is a glimpse, it's actually running. The Watch Dogs title isn't that great looking and it is so heavily scripted the team may not be able to duplicate the game play in an actual build.

I love the smooth transition from the cutscene to actual gameplay part.

20 Awesome Canceled Games You'll Never Get To Play

You can understand some games getting canceled, but these awesome looking games still baffle us to this very day.

"Tommy saving the planet from an army of aliens after they abducted him and his entire bar, with the game ending on the promise that Tommy would be back, but that promise was never fulfilled"

The thing is with the original Prey 2 that Tommy wasn't even the main character, they replaced him with some generic looking space bounty hunter. It was a refreshing change to see an awesome Native American character with ancestral like powers fight aliens yet they ditched him. It was only after an outcry they showed much later in a new preview that Tommy was in the game as an NPC.

I'd have prefered a real sequel with Tommy as the main character, literally picking right up from the originals ending.

As for Eight Days...Sony really needs to pick this up

If Amy Hennig was still at ND, I'd have loved to see her tackle it after what she did with Uncharted.

isarai48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

I thought that was awesome too, and honestly i wish people werent so damn critical about cultural variety in games. I feel like people try to ruin devs lives if even one detail is off about their culture in a game and so everyone is too scared to try anymore

isarai48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

One of the lead engine programmers for Prey 2 at Human Head was my programming instructor when i was taking game design. This game was in limbo at the time and we asked once and only once about this game, the misery in his eyes when he told us "this is the 1st and only time ill ask you to never ask me about that game" was something ill never forget😅 he used a couple assets through the curriculum for teaching purposes but nothing very tangible. Just a function here, a 3d prop there. Such a shame. Years later i saw him at a magic tournament, we caught up and he still thinks about that game and how it's "practically done" probably sitting on a drive somewhere

shinoff218348d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Practically done? Jeez that fking blows because that looked much more interesting then what bethsada made. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the one bethsada made.

Lmno looked interesting.
I'd knock titanfall and fez off the list. Add something else. Scarface 2 man only if would've been awesome. Prey 2 should be higher to. Either way not a bad list. Out of 20 there's only 2 I'd hate on.

isarai47d ago

That gen got a lot of games canned right before the finish line. Cipher Complex, Battlefront 3, legacy of kain dead sun just to name a few

XiNatsuDragnel48d ago

Games that need to come out: Battlefront 3, 8 days, and timesplitter 4.

Skuletor46d ago

One that's not on the list is Killing Day, I remember seeing the trailer in 2005 and being impressed at the time. Being Ubisoft you know it would have been a AAAA game too, lol
2 Days to Vegas and The Getaway 3 are two other games that seemed promising but never came out.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa136d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno135d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac135d ago (Edited 135d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast135d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial135d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
