The weak CPU's held back this gen. Will be interesting to see how things change next gen when the machines have strong cpu, gpu and ssd's.
They're not too beefy on ram. The other parts you mentioned, yeah they're beefy. But not on ram. Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite them.
What is your primary platform ?Last gen was much better than this generation simply due to diversity and the quantity of games coming out. Though I will say 2017 of this generation is better than any year last gen. I just didn't feel true innovation and engenuity this generation aside from a FEW AAA and some indies. If you're talking simply graphics then of course. Next gen, in that regards, will be better than this gen.
Funny enough better versions of a majority of those titles are on this gen as well.Eh, I think the last generation edged it, the three major platform holders were all firing out bangers, and the quantity of high-quality third party titles was far greater.
Mass Effect
Bioshock
GRAW
GTA
The Orange Box
Skyrim
Red Dead
Fighting games in general felt way more robust last gen
Dark Souls
Left 4 Dead
Mirrors Edge
Tomb Raider
Diablo 3
Dead Rising
Far Cry 2
Fallout
Vanquish
Bayonetta
Idk last gen just felt more exciting, but tbf Sony's first party output has improved exponentially from the plethora of failed titles last gen, so there's that.
No, it didn't really evolve. Indies were already exciting and "vital" experiences. Maybe you could argue that the indie vita push that then translated to home consoles was more visible but on PC it's really nothing new.Indies really matured this gen and became the most exciting and vital experiences on offer.

Yeah I thought it was just me, there were definitely improvements but it does feel the same for the most part.One of the biggest reasons i am looking forward to next gen is because this gen felt so samey. i think graphics received a massive bump, and combat systems got refined (sekiro, gow, anthem, ff7 horizon), but overall the game design has remained stagnant.
i am kind of tired of current gen, and i just need to be wowed again. not by graphics, or cutscenes or how big and open everything is, i want to see the same kind of leap we saw when we went from prince of persia to assassins creed.
and i believe the ssd and cpu are the key. i just hope the devs utilize it all.

It was a much better generation as a fan of Japanese console games at the very least.
That's not how I remember it.
The premise of the thread is "last gen but better" so that was just reinforcing that thesis, which was my point. But in terms of just new games, obviously anyone could put together a list as big as that or bigger with notable titles from this gen.Wow how exciting. If we're talking about iterative capability then every generation is better than the last generation and this entire thread is pointless.
I think some of the developments around physically based rendering, better AA, reconstruction and general image quality improvements has been a big step forward this gen
PlayStation. PlayStation's diversity and creativity was clearly better last gen.
You've got to have a better rebuttal then LOL. if all you can say is LOL.
This gen alone has given me 4 of my top 10 favourite games, Hollow Knight, Bloodborne, Divinity Original Sin 2, Witcher 3.
