Do you think 360 still has alot of potential to make better games? 360 will probably be out for 15 years or so. I think theres still alot of stuff they could do. Are developers still mastering the art of making 360 games?

i beleive they do

gameplay wise, sure, but as far as graphics go games will most likely only get marginally better over time. 360 came out in '05, and im willing to bet there will be a new system out before 2020.

Probably with some multiplats. Doesnt seem like microsoft has much interests when tehy are firing all their devs and not making any new exclusive ips.

yes an example of that? RAGE coming soon from ID software with a new engine that tops the unreal engine.

mastering kinect but mastering real games umm somewhat... i'm no dev. but alot devs say it's easy make games on 360 so i don't see why not. by now

now it's comikng down how far can they push it's software

i would say it comes down to the devs goals and values as a company to produce good games.

Yes, each year we get awesome games too.

Rage and Crysis 2 look good - but graphics don't matter as much as gameplay to me anyway.

I don't think so, it's been around 5 years since this gen started so i think they should move on, but since they haven't made that much of a profit they will keep trying, at leasti hope the graphics limitation makes them more creative.

There's been some improvements but nothing major. I think 15 years is really stretching it though. I bet they have a new system in 5-8. SJGuy

i think what he had meant is that they will be putting out new games for the next 15 years not when the next console is released. Honsestly If it is much better than the xbox 360 already is they are going to cost the same amount as a computer at some point.

Rage proves no game out today uses the full potential of the xbox 360. KC_Hokie

Every gaming console always has potential, someone will always come along and top whats already been done, weve seen this through 2 games which have already been mentioned, Reach and Crysis 2, Crysis 2 especially, the graphics are just jaw dropping, and if the gameplay is anything like it, then it will be game of the year, but someone will come along and top Crysis 2

This concerns me about their future in gaming.

I think the potential for better games is set by the developers, more efficient use of a system through an improved game engine can do wonderslamprey263

Agreed. Of course you can only go so far with the technology you're given, especially if it's aging. But over time developers learn and adapt to the hardware.

If you think about how much of a step up the 360 was from the original xbox, you can understand that making such a step up from the 360 will be hard and they will try to play out the 360 for as long as they can.

If you then play a release game for the original xbox, then a game from late in its life, its almost unbelieveable its on the same console. I'm not fluent in the technicalities of how any of this stuff works, but I think that although before, making better games consisted of better graphics and physics, we are approaching photorealism, and already some games have visuals that rival the CGI effects of big budget movies.

So a lot of games are opting to almost ignore advancement in graphics, instead focussing on gameplay (good news) but also on gimmicky family games (*cough* kinect *cough*)

DEPENDS on game engines and devs but graphically no. the 360 reached its limits with gears 2.johny300

Troll...

Rage may be the best looking game on consoles period...and Gears 3 looks a lot better than Gears 2 did. It's like a Uncharted 1 to 2 jump for playslaves like you.

i think the 360 is almost maxed out bungie said they put the xbox to the limit with reach i give the console 2 more years
