This game looks so good.
I think paradoxically as the quantum leaps of previous generations have diminished, having excellent graphics means more because it's harder to stand out in the crowd. Looking at all the games I've seen thus far most suffer from the "slightly prettier versions of games currently out", even more so then the stuff we saw before the 360's launch, IMO. Few games actually scream "this *has* to be on next gen", so ones that do get bigger props.

Perhaps the leaps are more pronounced in other areas e.g. AI, physics, scale, loading.
Next gen console games are looking like current gen pc games. The issue now isn't how powerful the graphics can be, but the talent of the artists on the team to bring them to life. It's difficult and tedious to make stuff so lifelike now.
So we have the graphical fidelity of pc's now. Next gen is about making bigger areas prettier and more importantly, about the small details like realistic looking physics, effects.
As well as everything being connected. Seemed like most of the games were about bringing multiplayer aspects into the single player experience.
Definitely, and that's stuff I care way more about. But aside from maybe huge draw distances there's not as much wow and sexy for screenshots when you have better Loading times.
And subtle things. Slightly better textures, more details, better reflections (will we finally see real-time reflections in the Master Chief's visor, like in Halo 3 announcement trailer?), stuff like that.
I don't expect better AI though, the problem for that isn't really the resources, hardware, but rather that no one bothers making a good AI, when some smoke-and-mirrors-tricks are enough to create convincing AI for the one or two playthroughs most people play a game.

HGS is probably just something a small group of guys who play with each other say, its nothing bigger than that. I think the biggest blow to this community was Halo dropping in quality - you cant really blame anything other than that.
Anyway as far as im concerned nothing really excites me for either the PS4 or XBONE, the exclusives for both consoles right now look bad. I imagine that it will be games that are multiplatform which end up selling consoles until either company pulls out its first big exclusive sometime in late 2014. I personally wont be looking to buy a next gen console until late 2014/ early 2015 so couldn't care less right now. With a few exceptions (The Division/ Mirrors Edge 2), E3 was pretty dull.
Actually right now I am most excited by the fact I will get 2 free games a month for my 360, AC2 and Halo 3 mean little to me as I own them, but as long as they put out games that are worthwhile this could be pretty cool.

HGS reminds me of growing up in elementary school where a certain group of friends would come up with a "secret" just to get everyone else riled up because they're not "in" on the secret.
Then years later when everyone matured, the secret was revealed and it ended up being something totally lame.
That's just an assumption though.

I wish Microsoft, EA or Respawn would release a complete match of Titanfall. Game looks incredible though. Gonna jump on Xbox One when it comes out.
You guys do realise that it's coming out for the 360 too, right? And they said a PS4 version isn't out of the question which makes me guess that this is a timed exclusive.
Bb..but, I actually played Brink.
It's Brink, but people will actually play it! I'm pumped.
so much missed potential :/

360 version is being done by another studio. They noted a PS4 version was possible, but they haven't done any kind of work on one. So if it happened it'd be a year at least.
One of my best PAX memories is from Brink. In 2010 a friend and I waited in the long ass line to play and we got up and just started demolishing the other team. The people running the demo came over to us and told us we need to go easier on them or the game would be over in 2 minutes.
Oh, I played Brink too Ghazi. Tried to push it on HG for the longest, but no one would bite. The net code was pretty shit though.
Doesn't TF utilize NPC characters on top of full room player counts? I don't see the 360 being able to handle all of that at a decent framerate.
I was just glad to find out my Amazon PS4 preorder was a launch edition, can't wait for these to come out.

Titanfall looks amazing, but the screen clutter is a bit much. One thing I'd love to see for this next-gen is more options for games. I know it was brought up a lot when Halo 4 dropped, but in general we should have more discrete HUD options in general across all games. One thing I'm having a hard time telling from a lot of these games is how they will feel to play. They look nice and I'm definitely seeing some nice touches and even though there is a lot of talk about huge worlds where other groups can come across you (the Division) with cross device play I'm wondering if it will live up to the potential. Also can't wait to see what some of this stuff starts to look like 2 years or so in.
So are more people planning on getting Destiny on PS4 then? I'm still undecided at this point. Now that digital versions of games will be available day one I'm done with pre-orders.

Seems like some people are? I know me and like 3 other people from hear are like Sai.
Also I really wonder how much MS paid for the Titan Fall timed exclusive, game really does look crazy good.
I enjoyed it for what it was, I regretted paying $60 at launch for it though and all my friends who got it returned it because they didn't like it. I still have it though since I don't resell my games and I plan on revisiting it sometime during this summer. Yeah, right on about the netcode sucking, it's a shame too because I really like the way the multiplayer worked even if it was the campaign sans bots if you had a full lobby.

I doubt it I still would like to see the PS3 version. Would like to see how shit it looks compared to the next gen versions.

I'm sure they did, but it's also probable that EA/Respawn wanted to do that as Respawn being a studio that's only a few years old, probably isn't huge and they thought it would be better to not try to bring their first game to all platforms.
Makes sense for Respawn actually now that I think about it, keep the initial release away from 1 competitor and build up the hype for it on that system via the player base saying how good it is so when it comes out a year later it sells well.
According to CBOAT who got almost everything right except the delayed PoP announce it is. Seems like he has a very good source for all his info, the only thing he was misinformed about was Mirrors Edge announce being moved to EA and not at Microsofts conference.

There's no way I could wait another year for TF, way too excited to play it.
Same here, looks like an absolute blast to play.
Kind of wonder how the 360 version will look. I know that one is outsourced but its Source engine so I am curious

Its source engine lol. Im getting it on PC so I am good, I just wonder how the 360 version will look.

I wasn't too impressed with TitanFall's graphics, but it looks super smooth and fun to play. Can't wait.

Me either... this was the one preview that solidified my Xbox purchase - but it sure will be strange having both consoles this time around.
agreed. even weirder to play a bungie game on a ps4.

And I bet for a significant portion of people that's not a joke.
I watched some of it yesterday, looks like a lot of fun and I like the 64 player count, but I wonder if it will suck to go in alone, I've always gotten the impression Battlefield needs a group to really enjoy. I'm also wondering if that building falling is going to get boring after a bit. I want to get this game just to drive around on a jet ski.
Screw Battlefield 4, everyone watch the new Killer Instinct game get played by pros!
Man, this might be the game that forces me to get a One. It just looks so damn godlike.

It's funny how you can obviously tell someone is using a controller in this stream. If DICE will allow you to use a controller on the PC version, they should at least let you be able to add aim assist or something.
Also, I'm really curious to read about people's impressions of the Xbox One controller. I'm surprised there hasn't been a lot of talk about it.
Yeah try to form a group when the game comes out, there are some cool people on the BF threads here.
I tried to watch yesterday... but cannot watch 32 awful kids playing 32 awful kids. I swear the people playing have never seen a shooter before.
