personally?
take the Ai and shove it.
I want HD resolutions and NO jaggies. Thats next gen, in my opinion.
This whole "Ai wont be as good as the current gen" is making me sick. It'll be phenomenal, and if people think that all games will sacrifice Ai for better graphics they are wrong. Once time passes and devs get a grasp of what they have infront of them, youll be sorry you asked for it.
Ai is fine where its at for me, I just want huge worlds to explore, lush vegetation, huge monsters chasing me so I shat myself repeatedly, sexy cars racing around city streets with landscapes that look real. That monster chasing me could be as dumb as a brick, Im easy to please.
The Ai in games like Chaos Theory and Halos are more than enough for me.
I dont even pay attention to it really. I'll be way to fuggin busy looking at the graphics in games anyways, ask people Like Kage360 who is local and attends our lan parties.
I get killed in shooters or passed in games like PGR 2 because im too fuggin busy appreciating graphics, and they all look like puke compared to what we will have in 5 months

I sucked at Rallisport 2 and would end up going off mountains because Id get distracted by the beauty on the 77" screen, and that was in shitty ass 480p!!
Splinter cells are the best games I have ever played, and its all due to lighting and graphics, chaos blew me away. I would spend a good 15 minutes zoomed in with the sniper rifle just staring at lights and shit. Blast the fuggers and look some more
Im not your ordinary gamer though, so Im the wrong person to ask.
I'm a Lan freak, so a lot of time is spent playing against the fucks that come over

Ok flame away!!
