While premature, I can relate to the feeling. While I was impressed with some of the technical feats of infamous... It just doesn't seem like its enough. Again, perhaps a bit premature, but at the same time just today I was discussing future releases with some friends and how it was concerning/odd to think that even as far as next year we'd be seeing 'big name titles' on previous gen still.
Think about that... Assuming it happens, that's 1.5-2 years into what many are assuming to be a fairly short cycle that we're still seeing cross platform or just old platform period. Not exactly what I'm looking for these days.
That being said, I also feel graphics just aren't enough anymore. While we're not at photo realism or anything, I still feel we're getting to a diminishing returns situation. Couple that with a lack of revolutionary (or even baby stepping) gameplay evolution.... It just feels similar.
I donno. I feel ya.
Actually I feel this kind of comment and thought process is nonsense and I've been saying it for awhile. "Yay more graphics! MOAR POWA" Unless its the favorite darling of a title... Then its all about the gameplay. Expecting devs to fall back to 'better graphics = better game' is nonsense and frankly I'm tired of practically everyone supporting it.
I think the thought process of expecting a completely different way to game when a new generation starts is nonsense. As long as we are using a controller and a tv gameplay will be similar. What do you expect we suddenly start playing with our feet? They tried the motion stuff and Kinect/ps eye stuff last gen and gens before that and guess what, people weren't looking for that. They complained it was a gimmick and now they complain the gameplay is the same. Seriously gamers sound more and more like a bunch of whining entitled douches with every generation.
If you are looking for revelations in gameplay I suggest waiting for VR and eye tracking cause that is the next logical step and it is coming. Until then I am happy with more of the same. High quality, FUN games with better graphics.
