Hitman: Absolution dev says game limited by current gen - Report

That's just an excuse, a lot of great games are still being released, better looking and bigger in scope than Hitman:Absoulution. IO probably starting to ease people into the new game which is 5 times more linear than previous games after they promised that it is no less open world that Blood Money, and that's their excuse.

I will get it for my PC anyway.I am not playing this kind of games with consoles

@Volgin @ExplosivePants You can to a degree, you just check your history. Atleast my console doesn't get virus, and is 1/10 the price.

by "hardware limitations" he's talking about mechanic limitations. not models and textures

and the "brute force" to making next gen games is just to up the fidelity instead of using new power to expand the scope of gameplay.

having a street filled with a crowd of people requires considerable power, having to find a specific person in a crowd is a gp mechanic

.

Let's face it, all AAA console game devs have been saying this for years. The fact is that people still buy these AAA titles regardless of their limitations. Why? Because people flock like sheep to the popular games that they know their friends will also buy. Also brainwashing advertisement. I'm referring to games like cod and halo and don't tell me you paid $60 every sequel for the story. Watch a movie for $15(or netflix). Story isn't a video game; gameplay is. Look up the definition of 'video game'. It says nothing about story. Besides, doesn't halo have novels you can buy for book price? I digress.

Okay, let's say we accept that excuse. Now, as a PC gamer, should I expect the game to implement those "things he would have liked to see implemented in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Hitman: Absolution"? My PC has not those limitations so if the game doesn't make use of my computer capabilities, is it consoles' fault or the fact that the developer was lazy and didn't care?

I think the upcomming new metalgear ground zeroes game is also on the console limitation. the visuals looks amazing

*next gen arrives* umm...errrr is not enough! We'll wait the next one to make a good game.

Well people don't kill people, guns kill people.

its not me, its the condom.

Go keep blame objects to cover laziness and incompetence.

thats no excuse what so ever. You have the PC to work on ffs. you have unlimited power to use there so stop making excuses for the games quality before it comes out.

The best game I've played in the past two years was The Binding of Isaac. Being creative with the tools you have is what makes an amazing game. I could honestly give a shit about this game either way, but comments like that are an easier way of saying we're lazy.

Best political way to say give us more money bastards . I think current gen consoles can still do more than what game devs are telling us it can do

"i am limeted by the current gen of hardware"

Personally i think that is the biggest bunch of bullshit i have ever heard, and will continue to hear untill the day i die.

You are only limited by hardware if you let yourself be. I know how it sounds but go with me for a moment here.

You let yourself be limeted, by how far youre aiming, you can make great games, that look great, even if you tone down your ambitions about the game a little.

Developers will allways cry out for better hardware, not matter what, it never gets good enough, so i would say whining about limitations is bullshit, since they will somehow allways be there.

Make the game for PC and then port it to the new consoles or just make it for PS3 and the PC.

@Volgin @corrus But not every company will make games look like Crysis 3 that company is a exemption, how many games looks like Crysis 3 rigth now none.you argument is not sustained.
