"Next gen.." IMO...

[Metal Fatigue]

..is scarey, weird, and the death of true video games in my opinion.

Not that I care so much for games anymore as it is, but it just makes me realize why I enjoyed 2D as much as I did. My pre-order for a 360 came in today so I thought fuck it might as well try it out although I planned on ditching it. Hooked it up to my friend's 42in HD, played DOA4, Condemned, COD2, PGR3.

In regards to what im going to say DOA4 is truly "pretty" and was worth messing with for a bit. However, in the end I personally can't handle this crap, the HD with these 3D games is too much for me. I literally felt like I was in the 3D world at some points, I got crazy dizzy and lost within the game. I was so distracted with detailed backgrounds and highlighted crap everywhere I couldn't even enjoy myself. Similar to being at a rave on a few pills with annoying lights and crap everywhere.

This just isn't video games to me, its a whole new level of weirdness that I can't even put into words, hence, weirdness. The only time I felt normal for a minute was a very barren building in COD2 that was quite plain and reminded of games from "last gen", further making me realize I can't go any further with games. Yea not much has been released but what do I need to see? my point is simply that games are going to get more and more out of hand. Nintendo's outlook truly is correct, for me anyway, with all their comments regarding power and realism (not a fanboy, just agree).

I hope Revolution doesn't stray too far from cube graphics, and thank god for DS in case I do feel like playing something.

I was going to say, maybe it's an age thing but I have always been up with the "latest" in technology. Which maybe I don't give a fuck about anymore really?

I dunno, you just sound like my mom when I hand her any sort of 3D game. She loves her Mario and Zelda to death, but give her anything that rotates and has freedom of motion and she freaks out and cant do it.

You = my mom.

Well now you just sound stupid and missing the point.

Not really.

The real point here is that nobody, especially buttasuperb, gives a shit about it.

Wow, you really are a wasteful piece of human flesh. Why even bother posting in this thread?

it is an age thing.
most people accept it, even the girls who in the gaming generation
around now gets into dancing games, rpgs, what have you and they
don't gravitate towards 2d like older gamers like me and most of the folks
on these boards. which is a funny thing that most of the people here
are more mature (in terms of games, not anything else for heaven's sake)
and most have been around since atari/old pc days till now.
but that's because this has started out as a NEOGEO forum which doesn't
usually attract way too many new kids.
so yes, it is an age thing.
but the revolution should give you enough stuff to work on.
i'll be picking one up if it comes through with all this old school emulation shit.
if gaming turns into a work out though,
i won't be part of the 'revolution'.

Yea, to me the emu alone is worth it. And I definitely loved Prime but that's about as far as I need to go graphically, beyond that just doesn't look much like a video game to me.
