Pffffffffffffft next gen

[Fragony]

Now look at this, new Halo 3 screens.




It looks like Halo2 but somewhat sharper. That's it. New Metal Gear screens were also mediocre at best, this next gen nonsense is getting annoying.

Looks like the Wii is the only thing to be excited about for now.

Duh, suddenly they're going from 640x480 to 1920x1080 (well if they'll ever implement full HD in games this gen), the leap in resolution is enrmously taxing for the gpu, that doesn't leave much room for anything else.

Wild speculation:
This is a transit generation, come 2009-2010 Nintendo and Microsoft will release their new consoles.

That makes mucho sense. I think microsoft and sony have shot themselve in the foot here, and that Nintendo has gold in their hands.

(there will be no ps4 by the way)

Why would you release screenshots for an important game with this without anti-aliasing?! No matter how pretty the game is-and this isn't especially pretty-it makes everything look ugly.

Because M$ seems more willing to release beta shots that look like beta shots. Unlike Ubisoft who will Photoshop a beta shot into, well something else.

Well, I suspect if you have a big-screen HD tv it's going to make quite a difference... Honestly though, graphics this generation are better than I need. After a certain point, it's gameplay that matters most and we've reached that imo.

I'm not going to try to say the Wii can produce graphics that are as good as the 360 or PS3- it can't. However, it does offer good graphics combined with a totally unique control scheme that makes for an impressive gaming experience when done right.
