next gen ruining games? (read before posting)

call me crazy but i think next gen is ruining SOME franchises.......does anyone else think that developers are trying to hard to implement great visuals instead of what we really care about. the gameplay! (examples, army of two, dark sector)

halo 1-2 were fantastic because they didnt have to worry bout living up to graphical hype. halo 3 in my opinion spent more time on graphics then getting out fun and enjoyable maps, new cool guns, etc. halo 2 was the greatest online game ive ever played. i played it for 2 years straight and id still be playing it if my 360 would let me.

look at halo 2 then halo 3 and tell me if you really think they spent to much time worrying about graphicsGod_of_duty117

it was great when there was only xbox, ps2, gamcube. all that bungie did was add graphics and new maps.

yes i agree they worry to much about graphics of new games. they need to look at singlplayer wise. these games r getting shorter and shorter. i havn't played a game in a long time but some don't have good controls. there was no way to fix that.

look at halo 2 then halo 3 and tell me if you really think they spent to much time worrying about graphicsGod_of_duty117

The graphics in Halo 3 are awesome. Just compare Lockout to the new Blackout and you can see the attention to detail they put in Halo 3.

Yeah I kinda see what you mean. Graphics are being used more to push a game, it's like they feel that even if it sucks we'll stare at the TV in awe drooling over the textures and way that water splashes when shot. I feel that they are being ruined by the push on multiplayer more though. I only play single player and co-op campaigns. And they are suffering because no matter how bad of a SP mode it has as long as the MP is rock solid and cool then they have nothing to worry about (look at cod 4, r6v2, and halo 3). But this is what typically happens with sequels much like hollywood movies. They make a buck the first time around so why not make 2 bucks the next time around and so on?nitroracer82

i know, their screwing over people that don't have live that's why i love bioshock more games need to take after it.

Bioshock is an amazing game. One of the few FPS games that has a solid single player campaign and no muliplayer.

The funny thing is I've been gold since launch and pay every month for something I don't use. I just called to cancel it last week and go back to silver but that's like pulling teeth. Matter of fact they just called me to "verify" my info so they can "escalate" it to microsoft's attention. What a pain.

But yeah, I loved Bioshock... A game with NO MULTIPLAYER!!! Not only were the graphics great but it had a great storyline as well!! I kinda wish that they would put out two types of games without having both because one tends to suffer. One version just MP, the other just SP. I'd get my money's worth that way.

If we stopped buying junk games as consumers, they'd stop making them. Speak with your wallet.daviwinn

*cough movie games cough*

I TOTALLY Agree. When you listen to game devs talk about their game their always going to say look at this games awesome graphics and revolutionary technology, AI, physics, etc. I could care less about all that crap because when I play a game I want story, the fun factor, uniqueness, replayability etc.

I can honestly say gaming back in the 90's -2000 was probably the prime time for the greatest games ever made don't get me wrong...

Today games take YEARS to develop because they just want to push games to the limits now days. I miss the days when there would be like 5 new releases every 1-2 months =[ ....

You are mistaken, look at the Wii, most games dont focus on graphics with the Wii. Now compare the games the Wii has to the ones that ps3 and xbox 360 have.

Yeah, the wii is full of crap games that dont focus on the visuals, so I doubt its the graphics that are the problem. To be honest I think this generation of gaming is a lot better than last gen, with games like COD4, Bioshock, Uncharted, MGS4, Halo 3 and NGII pushing the limits. Gaming has never been this big and its only getting better.

I agree as well if this gen wasn't as good as the last why is gaming getting bigger and bigger, making more money every day, and getting more into games

I don't think they did. Great graphics and superb lighting are 360 and PS3 standard.

Isn't that what you're doing right now? But ok...

To me, it seems that you are more into MP, where as I of course prefer SP. We're coming from two different areas and no logical argument can me made. Apples to oranges. I'll agree to disagree.

I agree with you those are all great games, but IMO out of the past 3 generations, the ps-one / n64 had it down. I can't even begin to name all the wonderful games that came out during that time.

I don't feel graphics are the issue, I think it's more the fact that devs are focusing on too many aspects of games at one time.(ie:great single player and multi-player experiences) Unfortunately, some games lean more to one side than the other. Army of Two was pretty much made to be an online-co-op shooter and after playing through the single player campaign that's even more painfully obvious.

I play games like Oblivion, Bioshock and Mass Effect because these games focus more on game play and story. I feel online still has a long way to go before it truly becomes awesome. How fun would it be to play a game like Oblivion in co-op? Or just for the sake of taking on your friends, head to the arena for some one on one battles?

For me, co-op is more entertaining than head to head. I hope we'll get to see co-op done more in future games, especially games like the single player ones I mentioned.

lol....don't worry about it nitroracer82...that often happens in these forums

well the reason why is because less games were coming out and the percentage was higher for good games nowadays more games are coming and the majority of them are bad. the same amount if not more good games are coming out compared to then, but the percentage of bad games coming out is much higher, the trick is to know what is good and what is bad

Well i think they should focus on the graphics and sound of the game because those 2 things really do add a lot to the experience. Of course the gameplay is what is most important.

No one is telling them to take all there time and work only on graphics right? They should work on all of it.

Iv been gaming since the NES days and I think games have been getting better. I still go back and play my old school titles like Ocarina of time and FF7. The fact is that the idea of gaming today bieng a joke compared to to what is use to be is just your opinion, its not a fact, so dont state it like one. Iam a true old school gamer and in my OPINION gaming has been getting better.
