In Response To: PS4 Announcement *OT* (Urban Reflex)


: Just wondering what people thought. Personally, from the little they showed
: off, I wasn't impressed. It looked more like a PS3.5: No outstanding
: features, no release date, no price, just a step up in power.

Historically, haven't all "next-gen" consoles been "better graphics boxes" and not much more? If you really think about it, gaming hasn't fundamentally changed all that much over the past 30 years. It's mostly been just a slow stepwise evolution. Even things as seemingly revolutionary as online play and motion control are really just evolutionary. Online gaming evolved from LAN play, which in turn was the descendant of split screen. Motion controls have existed in some form for nearly 25 years (see the Power Glove, U-Force, and Sega Activator). Overall, the way we play games hasn't changed a whole lot over the past several decades. We've gotten prettier graphics, controllers with more buttons, and more ways to play multiplayer and cooperative titles, but not much else.
