With the announcement of the Ps4 and XBox 720 later down the line, I started wondering if the next generation of consoles are going to be that much better. What does the future hold for these consoles and what are they seeking to achieve within their generation? What will be so different about them in comparison to what we have now?
Taking a step back and looking at the current generation, there were some major changes compared to the generation before it. Such as graphical upgrades, online networks, and downloadable content. The online advancements opened up a new gateway of connecting with the world and giving us the ability to play games with anyone, anywhere. We can also access extra content through DLC. Achievements and Trophies that show what you accomplished in your games. The ability to access streaming media with applications. Last but not least (depending on how you look at it) motion sensing technology. Not only did it give us the ability to interact with games in a physical way, but also created a new audience for gaming as well.
Probably wasn't everything but, that was kinda the current console generation in a nutshell.
The information given to us by Sony about the Ps4 seems to streamline everything that this generation has done. Everything is going to be improved and downloading will be instantaneous. The additions on the Ps4 controller were interesting and could integrate well into adding something new into the mix of the game play. The share button is probably the most interesting addition. How often will people use the share button is a question that time will only tell. The games look impressive for works in progress and I hope to see more as the year progresses.
As of right now, I'm not too impressed, but that doesn't mean I won't be. As more information is released, hopefully the differences between generations will be more prominent. Until then, slightly above average Gamers such as myself, will be enjoying this gen for a little while longer.
The friendly folks over at Razer recently sent us their full size Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, and this thing didn't disappoint.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
TSA go hands on with the beta for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, but how is the game transitioning to the post-stylus era?
"Instantaneous downloading"
I don't think you understand how the internet works.
