"Somebody asked me what I thought next generation meant and what about the PlayStation 3 was next generation. The only next gen system I've seen is the Wii - the PS3 and the Xbox 360 feel like better versions of the last, but pretty much the same game with incremental improvement", Wright told Guardian Unlimited.
Wii, Wright continued, feels like a major jump, "not that the graphics are more powerful, but that it hits a completely different demographic".
Yeah that's right. Let Sony and Microsoft sell us the same machines with better graphics for 400-600$. Nintendo will give us something totally different for 250$.
Its quite sad in my opinion that you dont know who he is.....but yea I totally agree with Mr. Wright. Next Gen is about taking gaming to a whole new level. The Wii is truly doing that.
Wii has potential...but it needs some work, we need to steer away from the basics of "remote shaking" as the basis of the controlls and gather something inventive from our devs.
It's good to see one of the best gaming has ever seen point out that it isn't new graphics that cause something to be 'next gen'. I mean really, PC's have had everything the PS3 and X360 offeryears ago if you had the money.Someone took your PC, shrinked it a bit, and now lose money on every peice of hardware they sell. Sounds lame to me. Am I suppose to trust people with this sort of business sense?
yup ur all right about everyting u said about the wii and yes it does rock... but plz will they ever make the grpahics come to atleast the ps2 graphics im not asking much more then that.... i currently have a wii mainly play on battle revolution i like the game also gota 360 play on it the most has games that i love to play and loades more good ones coming out mainly play on saints row and ghost recon 2. i like these games and graphics pretty amazing :)
um, how bout next time wii comes with good graphics AND motion technology, PLZ, no matter what u say new grephics immerse u, but so does new ideas, im just sayin .... :)
I've been saying this for a long time now, which is why this topic caught my interest on the main page. The Wii isn't the "best" next gen console. It is the ONLY one. The 360 and ps3 are just updated versions of older systems.
This isn't a biased fanboy opinion either, because I am actually enjoying my 360 more than my wii currently. The only worthwhile game to my right now for the wii is metroid prime 3, which even then was a disappointment to me. Thankfully fire emblem is coming out in a couple weeks.
The ps3... What's a ps3? That useless hunk of plastic that's less entertaining than a bed of spikes? I've already forgotten its existance.
IMO People argue that this "wii is the only next gen console" means that there hasn't been a generation jump since NES and Sega days if you don't count the graphics. But on closer inspection look what has evolved: *2 player console as the norm has changed to 4 player consoles, which online has changed to 32+ *Graphics have improved yes... but last gen they were at the point where getting better only matters to the hardcore gamer. Besides this every Gen has increased in Graphics... so what is so revolutionary about that? *Nintendo Wii evolved how you interact with video games
So those are just some rough points but you can see graphics do immerse you well, but they have always been improving. Yes the game pad has always been improving as well, but how much of a difference is there really between xbox controller's and xbox360 controllers.... sure its wireless and has some new fancy buttons but you still interact the same way.
Wii is the only next generation console and I'm glad I can now quote Wright to support this belief.
