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.
Available right now on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC is the latest from a prolific KEMCO team - Horrific Xanatorium; a horror Visual Novel
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

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.
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
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.
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.
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)
