i dont think anything will beat GOW as far as gameplay is concerned. lost planet is pretty good with the graphics and have the same effect as GOW bc its a third person shooter.

dead rising, oblivion, GoW, GRAW, and DoA4 are all "next gen" titles that give you gameplay not possible on last gen systems.  look them up and enjoy.

i agree, with the addition a few more titles actually, i wonder wonder what 20 inch tv with 2 speaker set up he has....

for real, maybe the lack of an hdtv is the problem here....

I have always been in at least component input, but now I am rocking the 1080i and EVERY game looks remarkably better. Prey looks insanely better!!

the nextgen is here, pal.

Yeah I didn't feel truely nex gen until I got an HDTV. Had only played my 360 in SD until right after I got GoW. When playing GoW in SD I have to say I wasn't really impressed very much, yeah the graphics were great, but nothing to shit my pants over. About 2 weeks after GoW was out I got an HDTV for doing ALOT of mods for a guy. Have to say playing GoW in 1080i is absolutely stunning, HD makes a HUGE difference in the games. It kinda does suck that you have to have an HDTV to get the most out of your 360, but hey it's all new technology, we might as well get used to it.

now that all game companies can take note on how well gears of war sold, maybe they will strive to put a better product out there...but yes many games are lacking in innovation and really taking everything to the next level...even the graphics.

I think the games that really made a difference were Gears, Oblivion, and Fight Night Round 3. All other games including GRAW are somewhat mediocre.

"NextGen" is a completely subjective term.  What is nextgen to one guy may be outdated garbage to the next.  Gears is beautiful but IMO most of that credit is due to the art team and not so much to the graphical prowess (although that's very impressive).  When the 360 launched over a year ago, games like Kameo and Condemned felt very nextgen to me.  Now?  Not so much... the bar has been raised and we're waiting for the next title to surpass.

The bottom line is that the next gen of console gaming was here the moment the 360 dropped. In a year from now Gears will look like lastgen garbage compared to the stuff coming out.... and I garauntee that people will still be making these posts about what is truly "nextgen".

GRAW and mediocre in the same sentence is FUNNY but soo so sad. Thats not subjective.

agree 100%

[Foe-hammer]

Not to mention CoD2 and Rainbow Six: vegas.  Add them to GoW, Oblivion, GRAW, FN3, and Dead Rising and i don't know how you can be dissatisfied.

If you want to be really dissatisfied, go and get the ps3 and see what it has to offer for 'next-gen' gaming. lol

[tNCecil]

Lets say two years ago, before the 360 was released, were you sitting around towards the end of its life asking "Is this NextGeneration?" I really doubt it. There will come a day where its not Next Gen anymore, and you just accept whatever we are getting as the current. You have to stop trying to see it as Next Gen or something o_O I forget where I was going with this post hah.

[richie579]

kill all that noise....part of what makes 360 "next gen" to me, is enhanced gameplay due to enhanced AI...other than a few titles like Halo, AI in the previous gen was pretty stupid....Games like GOW, Fear, R6 Vegas, hell even CoD2, all give me something gameplay-wise that I couldn't get on the previous consoles....why is this even an argument anymore?....and please, spare me the "but those games are on PC" comments...I'm a PC gamer too, but when all my friends can afford high powered pcs to play these games at high graphics settings, then you can say that....back to R6 Vegas

[Hyper_Eye]

I play on a 76" screen at 720p and, as was said before, the next gen is here.

As far as Next Gen is concerned, we should see some great titles coming out soon as PS3 hots up to be released and some great games such as Metal Gear Solid 4! Many suprises await us in 2007 and we should see some great titles within the next 6 months i reckon.
