Is Next Gen Disappointing or Not?

Last gen was disappointing over the 32 bit era, far as I'm concerned.

Dues Ex is not a third party exclusive.

The Wii U does have good first party titles, always has been but I personally have no interest in them anymore.

Next Gen was very disappointing. It is getting better as others have said, games like Bloodborne and Witcher 3 show that. Thing is, I didn't have to wait nearly 2 years before I started to see games that excited me when it came to the Xbox 360 and PS3.

The PS4/Xbox One are the first time when I haven't been excited for a console release. That to me is not a good thing because it feels like going backwards. For so long with every next gen console things just got better and better..and then we reached a point where online play and garbage like that suddenly became more important. Before the 360 and PS3 even came out they already had console exclusives I was really interested in. That same thing didn't happen with this new current release.

It's becoming more and more rare for innovation among triple A titles. This was bound to happen as they become more and more expensive to produce, there is less room for risk. It's unfortunate but unavoidable. For innovation we'll have to look more and more at indie games from now on.

Of course there is still the odd triple A game that innovates and takes risks. Alien Isolation is a good example. Making a triple A pure survival horror game with almost no "action" is something that you just wouldn't expect in this day and age.

And it was a total success, at least quality-wise.

It's disappointing me, so....maybe?

Yeah, it's great. But Sega sounds like they're disappointed in the sales, despite shipping over 2 million copies. If there's a sequel, expect it to be dumbed down and more action based, unfortunately.

I don't remember the source, but I recall reading somewhere that Isolation is up there on the list of most expensive games ever made.

And yeah, lack of innovation with AAA titles has become painfully obvious now for awhile.

Even Indie games are kind of losing it, imo.. Now that there's real money on the table (Minecraft dev went from multi-millionare to billionare overnight), it's turning into the mess that's the app market..
