Subject: Next Gen Gaming?

So with the new XboX coming out in 1/2 years, I thought: What will the next Gen Games look like? The current Xbox has some decent graphics, just like the pc and the PS3, but with a next gen coming up... The graphics and gameplay will be improved even more!

Halo 1
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo 4

ES-1
ES-2
ES-3
ES-4
ES-5

Note the huge improvements in the graphics, within relatively short time. I've only chosen series in the pictures, as different games have different graphics, but within series the graphic style will be the same most of the time.

Possible Next Gen Elder Scroll game? This is PC skyrim with lots of mods.

If modders can make a game look like this, why won't the next gen console gaming look like this? Maybe it will. Let's hope so!

already fixed. I typed "Halo 1" and it gave me this picture. I played Halo 1 too, but I thought it was like that. Wait let me check... I'll put the disc in and check the graphics

I mean, next gen gaming should have 2k Textures and 16XAA atleast, but no, current Devs are way to lazy to barely have 512x512 textures and barely any AA.
It's a shame, really.

The graphics are far from good on consoles. On the Xbox there's low resolution textures, a small rendering distance, low res shadows, choppy frame rate, and no AA. It's better on the Pc, but the Skyrim textures are no where near 2K for most of them. 16x AA would be amazing if it was somehow put on the Xbox.

There's still a big graphics difference between both games. When you copied the URL of the Halo 2 image. You should have realized it's the wrong game.

Well at least all the next gen console (PS4, Xbox) games should be able to run at 720p resolution, heck even 1080p should be no problem at all.

Hurr

Next gen consoles will never match up to the potential of a PC if they want to keep it at an affordable price for the massive market.

  • 12.11.2012 8:40 AM PDT

I swear to DRUNK, I'm not GOD!

Jesus, Halo 4's graphics were OK at best. Get over yourself!

Halo 4 had an over-reliance on bloom, a low particle effect count, embarrassingly short draw distances, and tons of pop-in textures ESPECIALLY in split-screen. I'm not impressed.

The next generation of games should continue to look like they do today just with higher particle counts and more dynamic lighting. But they should put the better processing power new consoles will come with to stuff like DYNAMIC destructible environment (not the scripted destruction we see in Battlefield) and SUBSTANTIALLY higher player counts in online matchmaking... like 32 v 32 player games as STANDARD, if not more games like PlanetSide 2, which places 2000 players on one map with 80 bases. THAT'S what I expect of the next generation of consoles.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I'm probably onlyone who doesn't have such high requirements for good graphics. I mean, games like Battlefield 3 looked great on consoles to me, but I don't deny that they look even better on good PC. It's just...I hope they don't sacrifice stuff like split-screen to get better graphics, BF3 would be 10/10 game if the game would've had 2 player split-screen on co-op and multiplayer. To me, graphics are important, but no graphics can
replace the fun of playing with your girlfriend or best friend on same couch.

Game devs are slowly dropping out the split-screen option anyways, guess the devs think people who play video games don't have friends in real life anymore. :(
