Is it me, or are new games graphically underwhelming?
I've been looking at new games for PS4 and Xbox One, and even for Wii U.
Almost all of these games are graphically underwhelming, and many of these games are on-par with iPhone-5-like graphics, or even less.
"Super Time Force" is a high-rated game for the Xbox One, and features NES-like graphics (better, of course, but the game's graphics are underwhelming even for a mobile phone).
Even New Super Mario Brothers you could use more graphical enhancements (its graphics are on par with Wii's Super Smash Bros Brawl, which is by now a thoroughly last-gen system).
Resogun for PS4 is basically a 2D shooter that barely uses ANY of the PS4's computational powerhouse. Forget PS4, this could probably be run on a PS2.
Transistor is another game for PS4, again, barely taking any use. Could be made for a Gamecube, I bet.
Sparkle 2… Closer, but still not using enough of the PS4's potential. Sparkle 2 is something that could probably be processed by the Wii U, and the Wii you is a baby compared to a PS4.
Am I crazy, or are games these days graphically underwhelming?
They take no advantage of the beastly powers of Xbox One or PS4
First off Super Time Force's graphics look Nes like because it was made to resemble the Nes/SNES era of gaming.Secondly the Xbox one/PS4/Wiiu just came out(well not the Wiiu) so the graphics are gonna look not so next gen.Every console that has been released, in the first few years it was out, the graphics looked like the previous generation in some sort of way. The PS3, Xbox360 and Wii, when they first came out, they looked like PS2/Gamecube/Xbox games.It was only until years later did they truly look next gen.it will take 3-4 years before you see truly AMAZING games on the PS4, Xbox one and Wiiu.
It probably isn't you, but I certainly don't feel that way. The beginning of generations has never really been phenomenal, and looking at games like Infamous, Killzone, Resogun and Driveclub this early is truly remarkable.
Perhaps you are used to good graphics, and don't notice gradual changes, or perhaps misremember how powerful the PS2 truly was, it might surprise you how bad things look compared to now. The particle effects and lighting in resogun certainly would not be possible on a PS2.
Here are some sources to (hopefully) make you just a tad more hopeful, and after all, we aren't even a year in yet!
If you are able to look at the first gif of Driveclub, and notice the trees and fog on the windshield during a sharp turn while still feeling graphics are lackluster, I don't believe anything coming out soon will impress you unfortunately.
- With my new iPhone 7 plus if I set it up as a new phone instead of moving my iCloud data to the new phone would I lose my? Unlimited data plan and phone number or would that still be there I already put my SIM card in 10 points
- Why they make PC games but no Mac games? A Mac Pro has a lot more power than most gaming PCs. Its performance will embarrass both consoles and PCs. I don't even have to use a Mac Pro as an example. Just look at an Iphone. The ios version of Grand Theft Auto 3 looks better than the PS2 version. And its not even a console! Its a phone!
- Why do some games only work on new versions of the iphone? What is usually updated in the new i phones that makes it hard for games to be played on the older devices?
- What games for the iPhone involve breeding or combining to get new items? I like games like pixel people and dragon vale but was looking for something new. It can be gardening or farming or animals but I want something that you have to combine two things in order to obtain something new.
