Iâd have to say Iâm not sure if Iâm ready for the next generation console gaming or not anymore. At first I was really excited about all the cool, rumoured features and the prospect of more realistic graphics, and more processing power and other secrets, however Im starting too worry about the actual quality of games. This started to bug me abit, as i browsed through most of the next-generation games, mainly in the XB360 sections, looking at videos and images and ect.
And it just dosen't seem like that much of a jump from the current generation and when i say this, i was expecting jumps like SNES to Sega Saturn and PSX or N64 to Sega Dreamcast and PS2. I mean yea, im sure the next consoles are going to offer a lot in the way of services to gamers everywhere and all, but i still feel like their somewhat rushing and forcing certain things on video game fans as well as the developers. I mean, i know you don't have to buy the the next-gen consoles so early or at all it's a choice, but if your a fan of video games and want too enjoy the latest and greatest games, then there basically something you have too buy.
I also think that by switching platforms in such a short amount of time, weâre really missing out on a lot of potential, for our current generation systems. Developers are clearly starting to pull the absolute most out of current hardware. Just look at RE4, Zelda: TP, Forza, and MGS3. They all look like early next generation titles. It doesnât seem to make much sense to well, kinda force developers back to square one just for the sake of better hardware sooner.
Why not wait a year or so, when we have that much better and cheaper hardware available for a true next generation gaming experience. I guess Iâm trying to say that I am looking forward to the new features that the new systems will offer, but I just donât know if they are going to be worth the price of admission compared to what Iâm already playing now or/and what i played a few years before this generation of gaming. Despite my state of mind, the next generation of console gaming is fast approaching, and Iâm anticipating it with guarded enthusiasm.
Any other opinions on the matter?
