Meaning a game that has something new. Something the previous gen doesn't have aside from better graphics. A game that is impossible to be made in the previous gen.

I can't think of anything else that improved in this gen aside from better graphics. Most PS3 (and even 360) games could still be made for their previous consoles but with crappier graphics.

Also, most current gen games are short (story wise).

I hope you're joking, I don't want to sound like an ass, but that is a ridiculous statement.

Seriously, can't you see the massive change? The content we have in games on current consoles couldn't of been made last gen. Not in terms of lengh, but things such as the game physics, just couldn't of been made on the PS2.

There's nothing as noticible as the jump from n64/ps1 to ps2/gamecube/xbox

I hate the phrase "next gen" though. It doesn't mean anything, it's just something people say to hype up a game or console. Shouldn't we be "current gen" by now anyway?

There is not much that can be made that oculdnt have been done before tech wise, its all bigger and better. If you look at it closely, thats why more and more devs are trying to push out a good product, with a well made story an something that is different. Games like bioshock are what the new gebn is about, trying to be unique in new ways. There are still the same devs that dont do much to out do themselves, but the few that are, those are the good ones.
