With the PS3 and new Nintendo Wii, we (no pun intended) should see some bad a$$ games out. Not necessarily for the Wii, but the PS3. The PS3 is a powerhouse. What I wonder though is will we see any breakthrough games? Surely with all that power we should have lifelike graphics and killer sound.
Or is this a case of where the hardware is ahead of the programmers ability to use them to their full potential?
Thoughts?
I think the latter, only now are we seeing the true potential of the PS2 for example. It takes most of a consoles life, or any machine for that matter, for it to reach its true potential and for developers to push the boundaries.
The Amiga 1200 is a prime example, a very good example. The early PS2 games looked barely any better to some PS1 games of the time, I'm sure it will apply to the PS3 and the Wii as well. It will take a few years yet before we really see what these machines can be capable of.
