@hadlee73 I actually imagine that games like COD is designed for current gen games but bump up the graphics for next gen and PC since you'd definitely know you'd get 60fps on all....
@ERRMAHGERD @zulwalks @PSYCHOV3N0M The cost of making a graphics update isn't really much more than making a game since everything is already done. But the more worrying thing is that how would it affect the game? would it crash the game if the installation was not done right? And you can't really call out on any company to be money hungry. The only way that developers can increase the budget is to show investors that they can get much higher profits.
@PSYCHOV3N0M What they could also do, as the years go by, release a graphics update for the next-gen console and pc version of the game. Anyway, if it really would be a great game, graphics wouldn't really matter as long as the art holds up and gameplay is updated like World of Warcraft.
@M3o5nster I think after the bad economy, they decided to only make one franchise rather than splitting the money on two franchises. And since most investors don't really play video games (and I bet neither does the EA CEO), they saw that both titles make car games. so they just decided to put their money makers on the most money making franchise and put off all Burnout games.
And Criterions revenge for pushing away their baby is to turn NFS into their own......wow.....I should stop reading books about the economy and conspiracy theories at the same time
@DJKrayz_basic Did you even read the article, you idiot. They're NOT making another reboot. And seriously....do you really want THEM to reboot Underground after what they did to Most Wanted?
@jhonMalcovich I think he didn't mean power but rather more like everyone will have the same specs and the specs are good enough for a few years to come (or at least the next console. It's christmas for developers since they don't need to worry too much about optimizing for a wide range of computers and making sure it can still run on someones 250GT......But then again, its the same guy that said that the "new" ipad is more powerful than an Xbox 360.
@RF7000 Just to clear things up, games with physx will run the basic physics engine (like you know basic collisions and rag-dolls) if not running on an Nvidia physx card. Other softwares like Maya physx plug-ins will run the hardware-accelerated physics on the nvidia physx card or on CPU (if you dont have a physx card) but of course it would be faster if it was on the PhysX card. not arguing just adding
