Will the next gen of consoles FINALLY be the end of glitches, freezes, etc??

So ever since the advent of video games, little pet peeves like audio and visual glitches (tearing, slowdown, etc) have been an annoying part of our gaming lives. Not to also mention games just freezing sometimes for what seems no apparant reason. Do you think the next gen of gaming will FINALLY bring an end to this?

No. With the increase if complex games and hardware. The glitches will remain. Then again sometimes glitches and the like are just bad luck.

The more they try and be like wannabe PCs, the more issues you will see.

No.

I don't know why you would come to such a conclusion. All these issues would remain. Better hardware does not solve software related problems especially with regards to gaming.

Glitches, freezes etc are not necessarily the result of a hardware error.

No it will not, and people that expect glitches to occur less with progression of technology are ridiculious. The more complex a game, or interactions between objects in a game the greater chance exists a glitch will occur, and the more difficult it will be to find them. 

Oh, those funny posts of people who have no clue how technology works....

:D

No.  Why in the world would these developers hire their own games testers and pay them for many, many hours of work when they've got millions of anxious beta testers willing to pay them $60 for the privilege?  They'd have to be nuts.

It has very little to do with the hardware anyway.  This stuff is all fixed with patches post-launch, so obviously it could have been fixed prior to launch if customer satisfaction meant anything to them.

Bioware's still around,so no.MonsieurX

As long as there is a computer program, there will be bugs and glitches.funsohng

The right answer has already been said ad nauseum so...

yeah.

No, I would expect more.

Deadlines need to be met and the devs are able to patch updates. Sad state of gaming man.

i hope so

If anythin there will be more glitches and problems in the next games due to the sheer complexity of them and the time frames and budgets they have in development.

Maybe mini/arcade type games will be better but the big budget proper console games will have their problems like every single gen before it and prob the forseeable future for MANY yrs to come.

Glitches and such will be worse, if anything.

They'll likely still be there, but honestly, I can only recall two major problems I've had with a game over the course of this gen, and that's when I belive it was ACII froze on me several times, oh and BF3 had some online freezes.  Other than that there's been nothing that has been noticable or game breaking (well, I suppose I got lucky not having any issues with Skyrim on my PS3).  In the beginning I wouldn't be surprised if we had some glitches noted in reviews for games, as devs along with sony/microsoft will probably try to push all the features of the systems before knowing how to properly use them, but everything needs to start somewhere.
