With that being said we should highlight the fact that some of these companies are launching titles in the early months of 2013 to help move the last consoles to store shelves. Or are they? Could these games actually high light the fact that the Next-Gen consoles will not be backwards compatible? You decide as we highlight 3 titles that should be releasing in the later half of 2013."

that could be true for small/indie devs but for large developers that have the resources & tech to take advantage of the new hardware you'll see a huge jump in visuals/gameplay. I predict that the hardware Sony will debut this year will be beefier than most are expecting and it has to be if its going to last 5+ years.
both consoles next gen won't look much different on the launch but 2 or 3 years later
games will start to show the gap
but again it won't be as huge as what people think
it won't be ps2 to ps3 or xbox to xbox360

The Wii, on the other hand, made a better case for BC. Wii games were not too far ahead of GC games graphically (or mechanically, really), and certainly did not have the scale and polished presentation that we expect from HD gaming. If you were to own a Wii alone, the GC back catalogue would've been quite pleasant to sift through as the differences wouldn't be so noticeable (barring waggle controls).
It's beginning to happen now with some PC games, for me. Console games are looking noticeably less vibrant compared to a modern PC game, to the point where only the most powerful exclusives seem to warrant the interest. I'll certainly be playing Ni No Kuni and The Last of Us, but I can't see myself terribly interested in anything else that's solely on consoles in 2013. Hopefully, next gen console will at least be able to attain this level of fidelity, which should be enough to sway gamers toward the upgrade path without worrying too much about their existing library.
But PS3 emulation is a -loooong- way off.
It's not, "this may be an issue...."
It's, "THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE!"
And anyone who tries to claim otherwise is either operating off of invalid assumptions or talking out of his or her ass.

I only commented again to tell you nice avatar, lol. SotN is one of the greatest games I've ever played.
For the record, I don't care about BC and if it means a cheaper retail price, I'm all for not having BC in it. Play your damned games on the console it was made for.
Your logic is stupid as there are many people buying HD collections and even PS2 classics. hell i bought GTA 3 off the PStore the other day. nostalgia sells you dumarse.
Halo series on 360 and 720.
The last of us, uncharted series on ps3 and ps4.
Major third party games the same, no way EA is going to miss out on spreading madden across 360, 720, ps3, ps4, ps vita, wii u etc.
It could just automatically select the higher quality graphics when played on a newer console.
Great way to reach more people with your game. At least while the new console transition is happening.
Games will have to be held back as the advances won't be just in graphics.
Meaning, only when new consoles are just released.
If your game was made for the older console, you could add some code to make it run on the new console, with some slight graphical improvements.
Of course a game designed for the new console shouldn't be programmed to run on the older one also.
That would definitely be counter productive.
Maybe game companies are releasing early to get more people to buy the current system. If they release around the time of the new system and the new system is backwards compatible...Why would anyone buy the old system?
No merit to this article at all...
HAHAHAHAHD remakes brings more money. Lol
LAME article.
Honestly if it means a big difference in price Ill just hold on to my old systems so I can play those games if I want to.
Im pretty sure at least in sony's case BC will be cut out to make an affordable launch console. We will see something that is a capable machine but nothing comparable to a pc powerhouse. We will see a big jump in steadier framerates, less screen tearing, way better lighting(which wiill make a huge difference in realism), big jumps in AI, and some slightly better textures. The graphical leap wont be as big as ps2-ps3 because the tech to do that is way to expensive. Overall the gaming experience overall will be a huge leap from where we are now but I just dont see any new console being some unstopppable powerhouse just due to the fact that people wont buy in masses if the initial cost is too high. Sony learned that this round and they would be stupid to make the same mistake twice.
There might be a lot of people willing to put off purchasing the next console if they have a backlog of high grade titles like GTA.
If the next console was able to play GTA then you'd have less of an excuse to wait to clear out the space from under your TV.
