Blade Interactive, developer of World Snooker Championship, believes that expensive next-generation consoles must provide a significant "qualitative difference" - and this is precisely what they aim to deliver with new title Hydrophobia.
"What people want - and I don't care whether it's a new console or a new handset - they want a reason and an endorsement of why they have bought that technology," says Blade's joint managing director Peter Jones, speaking to GamesIndustry.biz.
"They want to feel the reason why they have spent over GBP 400 on a PlayStation 3 or almost GBP 300 on a Xbox 360. They don't just want another first-person shooter. They want to have a qualitative difference.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
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?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
true, and i feel as though i have got a worth while system (XBox 360) and i enjoy playing it every day.
as for the PS3... well you prob seen some of my other comments but here we go again, i will buy one in the future when i can afford it. but atm i can honestly say, i dont mind just having the 360 cos its a great system
i didn't see much of a difference until Dead Rising and Gears on 360. Motorstorm and Virtua Fighter are great examples of what is to come from the ps3.
can make a case for every aspect of a game, whether they feel like it's Next-Gen or not.
Next-gen-Storyline
Next-gen-Visuals
Next-gen-Physics
Next-gen-Audio/Soundtrack
Is there a game out right now that demonstrates everything Considered Next-Gen, that I just posted? Probably not...but do some of the games out right now demonstrate some of the Next-Gen qualities, "Fa Shizzle Dizzle".
I think the term "NEXT-GEN COMPLETE" should apply if a game demonstrates all the Qualities above.
Then again Fanboys will always skew what Next-Gen is suppose to be like so, it's better to listen to a developer.
A good QUESTION:
If a game is taking advantage of the Next-Gen Hardware that was not capable on Old-Gen hardware then why should it not be Next-Gen? Well Technically speaking, should Ports count aswell?
Example:
Ninja Gaiden-XBOX VS Ninja Gaiden on PS3.

Looked that great is because of Unreal Engine 3 not even the XBox 360 could do those graphics all by itself since people are dumb enough to compare that to Resistance Fall of Man. when Resistance Fall of Man is a FPS and Gears of War is a 3rd person shooter and of course Gears of War is using stream text.
