The problems with seeing Next-Gen tech so early

ShadowKingpin from VVGtv Writes: Remember the jump from SNES to N64? How about N64/PS1 to PS2/Gamecube/Xbox? PS2/Xbox/Gamecube to PS3/360/Wii…..? Every single time we got to see the graphics of the next generation of gaming, what did you think about your current generation? I bet 50% of you said that you didn’t care anymore and were more excited for the next generation.

To be honest with you I think their Is a difference between a hardcore gamer and a graphics whore a new game engine does not make me question games that onced wowed me visually...It's still metal gear solid 4. NOT metal gear what.

ShadowKingpin4338d ago

I didn't mean to sound like a graphics whore, or that I was hating on MGS4. I'm an extreme MGS fan and love everything about the series. I was just mentioning that most people go for graphics, and that is all I hear about, which is why I wrote this article. Sorry for the confusion man.

dangert124338d ago

I feel this site needs a new section for people to talk about next gen because amoungst all the greatness of this gen and the greatness still to come amoungst this gen...I feel it is out weighted with people who are currently ungreatful with what they have...sounds like winging to me

ShadowKingpin4338d ago

Personally, I am most excited for what is still to come of this generation. I'm not really ready for next gen yet. In a few years, I will be more ready for it, but I would love to savor every moment of these new IP's first.

I still have an issue watching that Final Fantasy Tech Demo shown earlier this week. Some tech is great to see. But too early is a problem. It does in fact need to be worked with a bit more. Development and tech side alike.

vallencer4338d ago

Thia gen obviously still has life in it. The Last of Us, Beyond, Crysis 3 and Halo 4 all prove that. Honestly im not ready to drop $600+ on a new system. What I absolutely hate most about this gen is its seemed like people have stopped becoming gamers. I play video games because they're fun I don't play them because they look good. Another example of an annoyance are people hating on the Wii U. Im excited for it because im a gamer its a new system with fantastic possibilities. Its just sad that gamers aren't just about playing games that are good anymore no matter what they look like.

ShadowKingpin4338d ago

You said it beautifully my friend :)

_Aarix_4338d ago

Personally, I'll just tell the people who want next gen (and the people disagreeing) to basically suck it. Be grateful for the dozens of amazing games they have yet to play, or if they all that money (which they don't) then get a freaking PC and play the exclusives on ultra high max definition.

as for the people just wanting them released so they can talk trash all over again like in 2006-now, I only wish I had enough middle fingers for you pieces of trash.

SAE4338d ago

6 years isnt enouph for you. ?..
You still want 1 or 2 years , why not letting the ps4 release and you continue playing on these old consoles , since you people think its still have life in it then just dont buy ps4

What i want to say to you that playing on current gen is fun but not as fun and impressing like when the ps3 released , wow factor is gone for me , wasting good ideas on consoles that doesnt give justic to it or it could be better is just wasting time/money..etc

DigitalAnalog4337d ago

It's whether or not the next-gen has significantly more value than this one and if Star Wars 1313 and Watch Dogs are considered "next-gen", then I'm sorely disappointed.

Gorbenshore4338d ago

The current generation consoles shouldn't retire just yet although the speculation about next gen tech/graphics should be taken into consideration. Eventually, consoles will be pushed to thier limits and won't be able to go any further so, of course, next gen would be a necessity. Graphics are still relevante and important (good graphics + good gameplay > "who gives" graphics + good gameplay)

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai8h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken8h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye6h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken4h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno3h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop1h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Chocoburger2h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer1h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz1491h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos36m ago(Edited 35m ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.

Sciurus_vulgaris41m ago

The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
