A Gamer's Manifesto

[Audi0slave]

the guts of the new consoles are geared to make the gaming equivalent of dumb blondes. It has to do with the fact that both the XBox 360 and the PS3's Cell CPU use "in-order" processing, which, to greatly simplify, means they've intentionally crippled the ability to make clever A.I. and dynamic, unpredictable, wide-open games in favor of beautiful water reflections and explosion debris that flies through the air prettily.

That means a generation of games will likely play just like the last generation. Only shiny.

A Gamer's Manifesto
Its a pretty good read :cool2: ( Dunno how much accurate the author is ...)

Looks more like a person's point of view. But if they put advertisements in online gaming servers- quitting online gaming period.

^why? it's not that bad an idea imo. id is going to release an updated version of Quake 3 soon for FREE. it's going to be called Quake Live and it will have ads in game. i would rather put up with ads for a good free game than a $40 piece of crap like Quake 4.

Not much of a quake 4 fan. But still..I rather pay 800 bucks to 1.5k for an online gaming rather then free but load of advertisement...but that's my opinion.

I think even if next gen consoles were capable of better AI, physics etc, devs would still avoid any advancements in those areas simply because of the constraints(time, money, competition) and more importantly, the fact that gamers are a shallow lot who wouldn't care for anything that isn't pretty graphics anyway.
