@mr_nee that is what it looks like to you...because you've never played a Forza game, in love with GT, and trying to form an opinion without any experience beyond being a GT fan. Congrats.
The return of NBA Live shows us one big thing that gamers needed to realize. That is...just how far ahead the team at Visual Concepts is when it comes to sports programming. People who have been playing 2K are absolutely spoiled in what the team provides, and they are an extremely demanding crowd that gets let down if virtual Lebron doesn't smirk in the exact scenarios of real life Lebron. Visual Concepts continues to raise the bar every single year into making a game that replicates the real thing.
Interestingly, EA Sports gamers tend to be the lenient bunch. They get excited over aggressive marketing schemes that never pan out into full potential. I mean, NBA Live has been "providing a base for excellence" for over 7 years. For 7 years I hear Live fans claim that the 2K throne will be surpassed, and that the groundwork has been laid. Pfftt...yeah...maybe...if 2K didn't do shit for the next 5 years on their own game, that might happen.
Lastly, I created this fake Madden developer video that people actually got excited for in EA forums. They thought this was real and that it "sounded good" and a "step in the right direction". They ignored the purposeful errors I put into it.
@zerofrust your "sarcasm" holds more of a factual statement than your actual "facts". Just because the basic architecture is the same, doesn't mean that the consoles are built in a way to harness their power by simply transferring code from PC without much optimization. The consoles are built much differently and handle their processes in a far different manner than a PC. Having less than a year working with new hardware is in no way an indication of the power that PS4 and XBone provide. Every new game system shows proof of this. I mean, go play a launch title on both PS3 and 360 and tell me how they hold up today.
@jimdove2 it is hilarious that you believe that current consoles can't reach that potential with the hardware that is inside. Apparently you don't understand the limited amount of time that developers have had with the architecture of both systems, and that your statement will be negated in the coming years.
