Let's get back to 2013 and remember all the crazy expectations that we have PS4/XO. Let's remember all the dreams that we think that the new generation could realize. Regarding tech, did the consoles meet your expectations? You are still waiting the game that will blow your mind or become disappointed with the power of the consoles? I would like to ask this question regarding 5 fundamental areas:
Graphics: Yes
This generation stopped impressed me a long ago, primarily because I was blown away early in this gen with Battlefront and more recently Uncharted 4. I was used to think that TLou and U3 were beautiful, but now I just can't look to these games anymore.
Scale: No
Simply put, I still think that GTA V is the most believable world in games. TW3 world is big and full of details, but still feels static close to los santos. Watch dogs 2 comes close, but also don't beat gta. Spider Man and Rdr 2 could take the throne now, but in 2013, i thought that we would see a world like night city (introduced in Cyberpunk 2077 trailer) much earlier in this generation. I recognize the scale in multiplayer games though. I never thought that putting 64 or 100 people on the same map would be possible.
Density: No
AKA "how much shit is happening on the screen right now". The most disappointing point in this gen imo. It's widely known that the fast paced combat was in decline since the beginning of the decade, with the surge of cinematic experiences and souls-like combat. When we have a fast combat experience with many enemies on the screen, it's usual that the base consoles struggles to keep a stable frame rate.
Artificial intelligence: No
The new gen didn't bring much improvement in a.i imo. The enemies are still dumb, follow predictable patterns and the NPC still don't follow the promised day and night routine in open world games.
Console software: Yes and No
Anything would be better than the terrible PS3 OS. Taking that into account, the PS4 OS ia still far from what I expected. It's slow and struggles in multitask, especially when connected to the net. The browser is a joke. Installation time of games are great.
Bonus: peripherals and VR
I don't have a psvr or Oculus, so I would like to ask to the people that have if they are satisfied with them.
Please respond following the pattern.
