Guys,

Just watched the ps4 announcement. Personally, I am not too impressed. How do you guys see the next generation of gaming going?

Isn't it still going on? I'm stoked, but of course the games are all that will really matter. I'm sure the hardware is powerful enough to get the job done. Hell, I'm still happy with how good ps3 games look.

Yep its still going on mate, but i just feel the focus is just on graphics and not on real innovative hardware...

I can see the next gen being very similar to this one. Fairplay to nintendo actually trying something different.

It will also be interesting to see what Valve bring to the table.

Yeah it does seem to be pretty focused on graphics, but I can't say that I dont enjoy good graphics. Their other main focus seems to be on sharing, which I don't care about at all. The day I post a video of my latest ps4 gameplay to facebook/twitter/whatever is the day I jump.

I agree, gameplay is taking a backseat to graphics....As this gen went on and on and on i found myself playing more and more of the old stuff :) As sad as it is i really haven't seen anything or was "hyped" up for current gen games in a looong time.

It's early to say for myself, but right now, I just want to play my neo geo. Maybe if there are more games like Fallout 3.

See, I don't need amazing graphics. Fallout 3 and Vegas were 2 of the best things I played in the past decade. Batman AA and AC as well. Sure, I would like to play another RE or MGS, but I don't want to buy into the new PS4 Ponzi scheme that those Nanking rapists have devised.

Talking about gameplay, remember the difference between mario 1 and mario 2... At least nintendo tried something.

Games these days are impressive to look at, but I just feel under it all there is that real challenge. Hell I completed Halo 4 legendary solo in a day easily!!

And this whole complete multimedia center is taking over to a degree as well. I want a game system that plays games, back in the day things were just so much simpler i guess

I remember at the beginning of the last generation people were all so worried about the same thing, that gameplay would take a backseat to graphics. Happily, there were plenty of great games. I'm sure it will be the same this generation.

That's what I want too! It's just too bad you can't still play games on the old systems you own :rolleyes:

Please, please, please don't ever use the terms "epic win" or "epic fail" again (And especially don't use them TOGETHER)

It was neither a win nor a loss. Sony looks determined to finish first rather than third in the next generation of console wars. But other than the timed exclusive The Witness there wasn't another game in the event that makes me want to run out and throw down a preorder. I like what they're doing, I just don't love it.

Now it's your turn Microsoft.

The 8 gigs of unified DDR5 is a big deal. Microsoft better have at least the same spec to keep up.

• They didn't show a console design. Lame.

• Connected / socially networked gaming is not for me.

• Can't really say much about the graphics yet, though I figured Watch Dogs was next gen when they were showing it off last year.

• Sony stock bombed during and after the event. lol

• Fake Kinect - Sony continues to innovate.

• Controller is fug. They might change it. The abandoned the PS3 batarang.

• Playing PS4 games on your Vita isn't going to work well. Stop forcing TV-sized games onto portables.

• I'm still mad about that Lik-Sang thing.

Edit:

• That Killzone demo was probably running on 20 Mac Pros behind the stage.

...and for the love of kernow, don't ever self-censor your profanity. It's fucking stupid.

We already had a thread bro. Yeah, looks like shit though. Could we combine with the original thread?
