I'm mildly interested but not very excited yet. Aemon Send a noteboard - 26/02/2013 09:33:00 PM

I'm really waiting to hear what's new. How will the next generation consoles change the gaming landscape? It doesn't have to be anything radical, but we're definitely at the point of graphical diminishing returns, so I'm not sure having more polygons is going to be enough this time around. Actually, what I'm most interested in at the moment is Xbox's included Kinect. Since it's apparently required in order to play games, I imagine they're going to do some very neat convenience stuff. Recognizing players and automatically signing them in and out of profiles, for example. Pausing games if you have to jump up to get the door. That kind of thing.

Graphics are neat, but they probably won't get me to buy at launch this time around if that's all there is. I guess what I'm saying is that I still haven't seen a killer app yet.

It looks okay, I don't really know much about it A Deathwatch Guard - 25/02/2013 10:31:07 PM 1103 Views
You know, I never really looked at what PlayStation are doing... Fanatic-Templar - 26/02/2013 01:31:12 AM 1401 Views
It's actually a question this thread has made me consider as well A Deathwatch Guard - 26/02/2013 04:48:09 AM 1128 Views
My issue has been more about the types of games. Fanatic-Templar - 26/02/2013 09:08:13 AM 1505 Views
Yeah, RTS games on consoles are a rarity from what I understand A Deathwatch Guard - 26/02/2013 05:02:48 PM 1108 Views
Silly question maybe... ironclad - 26/02/2013 12:38:18 PM 1401 Views
Nope, no backwards compatibility Nighthawk - 26/02/2013 01:11:51 PM 1084 Views
That's about 90% correct. More accurate would be to say no native backwards compatibility. Aemon - 26/02/2013 05:05:30 PM 1098 Views
Just buy a PS2, it's still the best console in terms of games *NM* A Deathwatch Guard - 26/02/2013 05:06:15 PM 536 Views
Not that interested honestly. I do most of my gaming on PC. I like Sonys' controllers though. *NM* Bergioyn - 26/02/2013 01:24:17 PM 576 Views
Let go of the mouse and keyboard, my friend. Embrace the controller *NM* Nighthawk - 26/02/2013 02:34:30 PM 579 Views
That is not the proper way to address one of the Master Race, peasant. Bergioyn - 26/02/2013 08:23:38 PM 1128 Views
