Xbox 720 needs to focus on gameplay, not graphics

With the Xbox 720's unveiling only a matter of months away, people continue to want to know more about the systems, and a "Resident Evil" developer voiced his opinion on what he thinks is most important for developers to focus on with next-generation systems.

According to a report VideoGamer on Thursday, "Resident Evil: Revelations" producer Masachika Kawata talked about how games will always stay the same and that developers need to focus on things outside of graphics.

"Gamers like games, and they like games with the content of something that they want to enjoy and they want to play. That's never going to change no matter how good the hardware gets.

"Really it's just important for everyone who's developing for the next generation to focus on the games themselves and the gameplay, and let the additional graphics power and stuff be an amazing bonus.

"When we developed 'Resident Evil 5,' it was the first one for the then next-generation. Given that we were going to those consoles for the first time, looking back we probably focused too much on the technical aspects of the game. [Because of] the graphics, for example, that were mind-blowing at the time, the game design might have fallen by the wayside a bit.

"Then perhaps for 'Resident Evil 6,' trying to come back from that, the game systems were revised and improved, but it clearly wasn't enough for fans," Kawata said.

Kawata talked about how just because developers can port games over to next-generation systems, doesn't mean they should.

"Just because a new console is released doesn't mean that it's a sound business decision for us to rush to move everything we're doing over to those consoles. There's still some life in the current generation, and there's still some time.

"Obviously, they're not out yet, but there isn't even a firm release date for those consoles, it's all industry rumours at the minute.But even when they do come out, it doesn't mean that there won't be a while in which it makes more sense to put further games out on the current generation.

"We'll just have to see where the industry goes with that and where the gamers are going to be, and then we're going to aim for wherever the market is," Kawata said.

What do you hope developers focus on?

Inside sources with ties to Microsoft has spilled the beans on Microsoft's upcoming successor to the Xbox 360. The source-who's identity has been held private for obvious reasons has given us a laundry list of things to get excited about...or not.
  1. Xbox Live year subscriptions will be raised to $69.99. The source says XBL "platinum" offers new features such as video chatting whilst gaming among other things
  2. No first party releases at launch. Launch "Window" titles include Halo 2 Remake, Crackdown 3, Alan Wake 2 and some title from Rare. These aren't coming out day 1 but maybe a few months after. Launch games are standard multiplatform titles.
  3. Controller will offer a touchscreen that tethers into a slot underneath the controller. Controller retains some form factor as the Xbox 360 controller but with bigger triggers and revamped Dpad.
  4. Will retail @ $199.99 with 2 year subscription to XBL Platinum. Second Sku is tentative but source says it will be $499 with a 100GB hard drive.
  5. Xbox Live Marketplace Premium. Buy games and download them remotely online at work or on the road.
  6. Still will use a mix of DVD's and Blurays for games that don't need either format. Expect launch titles to use DVD
  7. Native 1080P still undecided.

When I quote you all you see is nothing. Which is probably a little more accurate than whatever the fukk you posted out of anger :bryan:

Why you mad at Capcom being honest about the downfall of gaming?
Is what he said not true?
Doesn't he basically say "3cepts, get it together"
Because what he is saying echo's what you idiots hang your hats on

But you know, as usual... kill the messenger :win:

Maybe he should apply that to his own game:leostare:

nikka said graphics where the reason that the last few resident evil games has been trash and a shadow of their former self.
