Current-Gen Games That Are Going To Age Horribly 10 Years From Now

I think first person shooters in general age horribly. The only one that comes to mind that seems to have aged somehwat gracefully is half-life. I think the Halo games will age really badly. If you dont believe me pop in Halo 1 which is a nine-year-old game and you'll see how dated it is. Also, a big part of the halo experience is its online component, but 10 years from now when all the servers are shut down, what are you going to be left with? mediorce campaigns?

Another game which is only a few years old yet is now completey outdated is Twilight Princess. Literally EVERYTHING about the game is outdated. Outdated graphics, animation, control (waggle instead of 1.1 like SS), score (midi instead of real orchestra), etc. When it was released it was already like a blast from the past. 10 years from now? I dont even wanna think about it

Halo: Combat Evolved is still a lot of fun. If you don't believe me pop in Halo 1 which is a nine-year-old game and you'll see how great it is.

Killzone, because its on the system you obviously like.

And this is something bad I guess???

Too bad for the graphic whores, I know I'll still play 8-bit games in ten years and won't be bothered abouttheir "aged" graphs.

any motion control focused game

[insert game that is not on your system of choice that you envy here]

I seem to have hurt a lot of feelings. this is not a fanboy post im just making observations

From a fun point of view, I can still pop in Goldeneye and have a blast. But yeah, I guess I can see why some old games dont age well graphicaly. The only syestem that I think still looks great today is the SNES because of its 2D sprite style of graphics. You have lower expectations going into games liek that comapred to 3D games, and the colord are bright and nice.

Its ahrd to say without knowing what our console games are gonna look like 10 years from now because we could have a potential 2 gens in 10 years, assuming when we know this one is going to end and if gens from now on go back to ending after 5 years.

Depends if gaming has progressed, if any, in the future.

[QUOTE="mo0ksi"]GTA 4 I think. As much as I love the game, the past two years haven't been very graceful to GTA 4, and after playing RDR, the controls feel borderline intolerable, and the game looks a lot uglier.funsohng

EFLC featured a checkpoint system, and it automatically makes GTA 10xs better. The lack of checkpoints really annoyed me in GTA4. :x

Arma 2 - "How come this game only uses like an eighth of my keyboard?"

i think rdr will look outdated big time

Most Wii games and simulators.

this and every open world and sports game

I would go with Oblivion. Though it's one of my favourite games this gen...

most games this gen that are FPS, TPS and most casual games. dark and gritty games will die out because there wont be anyone that plays them by then. casual games are a fad so they will die along with it. i hear 90% of everyone here will stop playing games when every console uses motion. in 2015, i predict a 2nd Video game crash because of that.

Grand Theft Auto 4.

[QUOTE="funsohng"] And it doesn't even have a checkpoint system. seriously, that alone makes the game almost unplayable.funsohng

Any game with its selling point being mainly graphics: Gran Turismo 5, Killzone 3 ... dare I say it? Crysis. Games like Okami and Zelda Wind Waker are going to age pretty well because of artistic designs of the games. majadamus

Games focused too much on graphics and being like a movie. Sure Uncharted 2 feels like a movie right now but ten years from now every game may as well be a movie. It'll be the games like Portal and Fallout 3 that will be remembered.

[QUOTE="hellhund"] Would it be worth it to just skip GTA4 and play the standalone expansions? I always hear great things about them, especially compared to GTA4. Would I have any idea what's going on?

Cool, thanks for the info. I'll add it to my Goozex queue right now. :)

What are you on tc? Halo CE still plays better than both 2 and 3 and has a very good campaign. And while TP might age on wii because of the crappy controls, the superior and "true" gc version will not.

When it comes to gameplay I think most current games will be ok. That being said, I think a lot of PS/360 games will age terribly in the graphics department, as having "realistic" graphics always ends up being a drawback in later years.

Resident Evil 5

I played through a legendary run of Halo two weeks ago, and the only things dated are the graphics. It still plays like a modern shooter, probably because most modern shooters co-opt Halo's gameplay mechanics.

Some games this gen are already aging horribly. I played GTA4 a month or so ago and couldn't believe the jagglefest that my eyes were witnessing (PS3 Version). The following morning I woke up with an eye infection (True story)

not a lot of love for GTAIV? I'm playing this game for the 1st time right now and enjoying it-- however, I was annoyed by how much of each mission I have to repeat when I die.

Not that you are wrong...but I play Halo CE on my original Xbox still to this day and TO ME it still holds its own with any game.I honestly just do see any huge leaps in graphics since then. Sure they look shiny now, but so what?? I play all the old Ghost Recon games still as well. I will still play them 10 years from now probably more so then I play all the other games "trying" to be just like them. To each their own I guess..

Probably Uncharted 2. One of the big catches of the game is the amazing graphics and the way the story is told. Graphics age, and a story can only be told so many times. The game also has quite a bit of shooting. While there is nothing wrong with it right now, Uncharted's style may get old within the next 10 years ( I imagine that dual analog will sooner or later be replaced by pointer). And as for the climbing stages, those have been appearing in a quite a few games recently. I guess you can think of it like Goldeneye (people complain about it's control style, but if pointer rules the day, people will complain about dual analog of U2)

Killzone, because its on the system you obviously like.

CAPSROGUE

lol.

I have a hard time playing older games from this gen, let along games from ten years ago.

Resistance: Fall of Man has already aged terribly. God those graphics are bad.

Oblivion it feels terribly dated now though it was once the best game this gen.Clank-PS-Snake
