I do realize this, but like I said, the major selling point for a next-gen console is the graphics for most people. When I see a next-gen system, I want good games, and better graphics than the current-gen games. So far, the only game I've seen that honestly looks like it might have some unseen gameplay elements is Prey for the 360. Otherwise, every single game is the same as the current-gen titles. So..what's the solution? BETTER GRAPHICS!! And guess what...the graphics aren't any better. I think they really need to get their asses in gear. The Call of Duty game looks like an XBox game and it's next-gen. The Need for Speed game looks marginally better than Burnout 4 and it's next-gen also. Prey looks damn good as well as the new Epic FPS using the Unreal 3 engine. Elder Scrolls 4 has damn good graphics as well. Other than those, the rest look like current-gen games with no gameplay enhancements.
Releasing a next-gen system without a major graphical overhaul using current-gen gameplay elements is a bad idea, and the XBox 360 is having an orgy with the prospect. Like I mentioned in my last post, I really hope the Beta kits make the graphics as good as they're saying else there's gonna be some pissed off gamers. Can you imagine booting up your PS2 for the first time on the launch day and seeing SSX look like a PS1 game? I'd puke.
