Are you new to this whole gaming thing? We're just over a year into a 5 or 6 year cycle. You don't even start getting better games until year 2 really. Things don't hit their stride until over half way into the generation.

get the fukk outta here :laugh:

PS2 was 1-year old in 2001 and it was one of the greatest years in gaming history. 2007 was fukking awesome as well

wtf did we have to play this year? shyt I played last year? shyt I played 10 years ago? some 8-bit hipster fakkitry? this gen is just about banking on nostalgia and playing it safe. nothing new or interesting

the PS2 was from a different era. That was the era where advances in technology meant they could make games that weren't possible before. We've gone well into diminishing returns now. The tech lets them make games already possible better but you aren't going to see games that were totally impossible in generations past just a greater scale.

I look at HD remasters just like movie remasters when a new format comes out.

I welcome remasters because games are visual and nothing everyone played them on past gen systems.

Maybe you haven't seen the current gen only games that are dropping next year. Imagine No Man's Sky on the past gen systems

games nowadays have sooo much content plus everygame has a season pass now that gives like 25% more content ontop of that. it used to be okay i killed the boss i beat the game . now its you beat the game but did you get all the collectibles? did you beat the mini game? did you beat the online? did you get all the expansion packs? you understand me.

breh, have you seen that new no man's sky gameplay trailer? :scusthov:



looks like trash forreal :snoop: I had high hopes for this game but it looks way too ambitious for its meager indie budget. the procedurally-generated stuff is gonna get old quick if there's nothing you can really do/interact with in the world. the graphics are nothing to write home about either. ps3/360 could handle that

if you want space sims on some REAL next-level, next -gen type shyt its all on PC

look up star citizen and elite dangerous....now THAT's the shyt i'm talking about! :gladbron: both make no man's sky look like ass

I'm just waiting on the next-gen EXCLUSIVES, as in titles that aren't on the PS3/360. It IS frustrating that I bought a next-gen console where the best titles are GTAV, NBA2K15, ACIV, Diablo III, COD: AW, etc..

Honest to God, the Wii U DOES have the library than the PS4/One. It has the best exclusives.

From what I've owned and played:

Super Smash Bros
Super Mario 3D World
Mario Kart 8

Bayonetta 2 is supposed to be great too but I haven't gotten it yet probably will later in the month.
Same old shyt I got on Wii. I'm sure Bayonetta 2 is great but I doubt its any different from the original. My point is, we were playing the same games minus a few small changes years ago.
