The Graphical evolution of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 has been huge

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have been around for a long time; eight years for the Xbox 360 and seven for the PS3. Because this console generation’s cycle has been so lengthy, there is a huge graphical difference between titles released at the beginning of both consoles’ lives and of those released at the end

As I think back, for me, the 3rd party devs is where I saw the most significant improvements.

5eriously3848d ago

Sure, they did see the bar set by the 1st party devs and thus they had to improve to stay in business so your statement are obvious but yet I have not seen one title that reached or surpassed the best of those of the first party devs.

OC_MurphysLaw3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

I think people missing my point. I totally agree that first party have looked the best.. uncharted 1 looked great and Uncharted 3 looked even more amazing. But the differences in graphical fidelity seem more minor ( or less jarring ) than say looking at COD2 vs BLOPS2.

pat_11_53849d ago

It's really interested to see how far games have come.

colonel1793848d ago

I can't imagine what this generation is going to bring. I remember saying that there was no way MGSIV was going to be surpassed. I was totally wrong! But I wish the biggest improvement this generation is about AI and technical aspects more that graphics.

mcstorm3848d ago

It is amazing to see the difference between 07 and now. I do think the graphics will carry on getting better but I agree the AI and technical side needs to improve. I do think this is one advantage the xbox one has over the PS4 and WiiU at the moment with the cloud and seeing what Turn10 are doing with the AI in forza 5. I want to see a lot more different types of games get pushed this gen as for me some of the most under rated games this gen were some of the best. Alan Wake and Split/Second spring to mind.

That Said I am loving the games on the WiiU at the moment as its a nice break to play games like Pikmin 3, Wonderful101 and Windwaker HD (as I never played the Gamecube versions and I don't have a clue why as its amazing) as FPS games just bore me quickly now after hammering them for 8 years.

mcstorm3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

Yes the cloud http://spong.com/article/29... for my point. O no sorry your just a anti xbox after reading a few of your comments. Your the one who needs to wise up and read what people put rather than making things up in your own mind on what you think people put.

SnotyTheRocket3848d ago

Why did you use Roman Numerals for MGS4?

KwietStorm_BLM3848d ago

Got the release years for Uncharted and The Last of Us mixed up. I think he should have included Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite as well.

CRAIG6673848d ago

The first Bioshock still stacks up well against the latest offerings this gen in my opinion (I am bias though, I am a total Bioshock 1 geek)
Infinite is nice but the leap between the original and that is much morw muted when compared to halo 3/4 uncharted 1/3

pat_11_53848d ago

Yea, that's why I didn't include it in my list. I felt the same about GTA IV and V.

solidboss073848d ago

He should have just compared the first Uncharted to its sequels, not the LOU.

If this is true, I hope it leads to Morrowind getting remade next.

-Foxtrot4d ago

I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6

TheColbertinator3d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin4d ago

Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.

isarai4d ago

Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so

Tacoboto3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.

Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.

Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy

mkis0073d ago

I have heard that too but even if it's modified isnt arkham knight UE?

Fragslayer3d ago

"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"

So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.

Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.

Fragslayer3d ago

Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast19d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22919d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko18d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way
