    It's not that I don't want a graphics update, it's that I don't see how graphics can be updated at this point. The only direction I can see is towards photo-realism, which in gaming I believe the technology isn't just there yet to produce a console affordable for the majority.

    There's no point telling stupid people that they're stupid. They're too stupid to know that they're stupid. Wasted effort.

    I'm not excited because of the way the industry is trending. It's not that I'm not excited to see what new tech could potentially bring us, it's just that a lot of the practices the industry has been adopting are wholly unappealing, and I don't want to see more of them.


    This. It's like they sit around daydreaming about new ways to screw us, if they aren't busy coming up with some lame gimmick controller.

    They have all they need in the PS3 to make a fun game. Visuals from here on IMO are useless.


    I agree... I haven't been interested in graphics upgrades since the PS2.

    Don't care about next gen at the moment....Certain consoles are gonna be faulty for about the 2 first years so it'll be safe to buy one around 2015.

    I am. This gen should have ended last year. Both PS3 and 360 have been showing their age for awhile now and they're holding gaming back. The sooner PS4 and 720 come out the better.


    Just curious, how are they holding gaming back?

    How many console games are 1080p or run at 60fps? How many have anti-aliasing? Why is my high speed NFS Most Wanted racing game so choppy? Why does Assassin's Creed 3 run like a slideshow? Why does Dishonored and Far Cry 3 have so much screen-tearing? Why are there only a handful of games that run in true 1080p?

    What's up with the ridiculously long load times? Whats with the mandatory installs? (actually I don't really care about that last one, reduces stress on the disc reader)

    Depends on how sexy it looks...It's gotta be hotter that PSPhat sexy( Most attractive console of all time. Those 4 usb ports....Oh wait!!! I got one). The new PS3 2012 slim looks hideous to me.

    I'm done here. Next Gen does not appeal to me either. This Gen has shown me the direction gaming is going and it isn't for me. I enjoy some titles from this Gen and will continue to play them and my older stuff.

    I will offer this advice for those going into next Gen..
    Wait it out. Consoles will launch over priced even if the advertising says otherwise. The good games won't come out until game developers catch up with the new technology, this will take some time. As we have seen in many other Gens, the best stuff tends to come out later in a consoles lifecycle.

    Further, this will give you a chance to gauge what the companies intend to do as far as a direction for the industry. Be it digital, 3-D only, motion controller gimmicks or what have you.

    Take your time future gamers. Make purchases that are informed. Don't buy whatever new hotness comes out unless you know its a good fit for you.. If the industry does go the game lock route, this will be critical to help keep your favorite gaming franchise(s) alive.

    I know, we, the current gamers have allowed the industry to put all of us in a not perfect position but there is plenty of bright spots about the industry still.

    If you support only the best quality stuff.. The industry can still be made to try and produce up to that standard.

    Good luck and happy gaming.

    For you. Due to MS having no chance next gen and my mistake of not buying a PS3 at launch. I won't be making that mistake again.

    Somebody needs to dust out there 360/PS3 badly...I feel bad for those people thinking the jump is gonna be huge next gen. It won't even be as big a jump from the last time.

    Xbox 360
    512 memory
    Xenon(equilvalent to an old ass 7800)

    PS3
    256 x2 memory
    RSX(equivalent to an old ass 7800)

    All trash.

    Time spent developing for old ass tech.

    Personally, I'm not expecting a huge leap in graphics or anything. if either Sony or Microsoft mandate 60fps at 1080p with 4x antialiasing I'm sold. I don't even care about more realistic graphics or anything, just stabilize what you already have instead of making everything more expensive and gimping the experience again. I care about creative graphics and those have captured our imagination every gen.

    Honestly, I'm more excited about better (more reliable hardware "hopefully" and just a better interface/integrated system. It'll be pretty cool to play music during any game (hope they implement that) or surf the playstation store while playing a game and downloading add-ons and whatnot on the fly.

    Games will look better but I'm perfectly content with how they look now, so that's not a huge factor to me.
