GB: "Its no secret that he current generation is lagging in comparison to PC gaming technology and hence there is a lot of talk going about how the next generation of consoles are desperately needed to solved this problem."
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

One minute the consoles are old, outdated and as Johnny C says, a modern PC is 10 more powerful and now this bean counter comes out and says...
"I think extended console cycles are actually good for everyone. I think they’re good for consumers and good for developers. As much as a new console will excite everyone about its technical gee-wizardry, your worst economic period is often the very first year of a new console. Install bases are not there, you’re selling lower units of games, people are having to pay $600-$700 for a console as opposed to $200-$300. And the first games to come out are among the least technically compelling, because there’s just such a rush to get stuff out for launch. Those are the reasons in my mind."...
SOoooo...It's all about the money and seeing how the economy is bad, we should be like third world nations now and go back to the PS2...480i is so under rated...O_o
They should of at the very least up dated these machines every two years with more memory and have the consoles scale the game according to whatever console model you happen to have. Look at PCs...there are no two PC's the same and yet they ALL play most games in one form or another. Consoles should be built with this " future proof " mentality. It has been talked about but basically ignored.
btw...launching a new console is a money maker as well for EVERY aspect of the gaming universe. New consoles is a big win for manufactures, advertisers...etc and all corners of gaming world will see some of that. This guys view point is all about Id and their new engine that took 7 years to complete...O_o...and now wants another 7 years to sell it. :/
Why not make new consoles and for a change, have them built in NORTH AMERICA!!!
I'm sick of the PC gaming community bashing consoles, just play your games and stop trying to speed up the next generation. I hope this generation still lasts for a while.
I was ready for new consoles years ago. But at the same time I completely understand why a lot of people want it to last as long as possible. It is cheaper for them and if they don't care about bleeding edge technology (which they don't or they wouldn't own consoles) then it really is a good thing for the end user from a financial standpoint.
The problem with us spoiled on PC gaming is that we tend to expect a reason on a 16 month recurring basis to upgrade our gaming rigs. We don't have a problem spending the money it takes to stay on top of the newest visuals/options. We LIKE to tinker around with game settings, overclocking, SLI/Crossfire, different AA/AF settings. It is just in our nature I think.
Thank goodness we have both options to suit our individual preferences.
WOW! ID has been in news consecutively lately.....
Good for them. Some of their claims do have valid reasoning.
What a surprise.
