    Probably not, there are no good games for it that make me want buy it. Hopefully in future they'll have more appealing games for me.

    This "Human Limitation" is so far away, games look nothing like real life in game yet, screenshots can fool people but ingame footage isnt fooling anybody, there is a LONG way to go. But let me just show you an example of the future.


    This is a game that is launching next year, for all platforms (PC/PS3/360/Wii U) but is being developed primarily on the PC. This is a PC ingame screenshot.













    Looks pretty amazing (though it will never look that good on the Wii U), could perhaps fool some people into thinking it was a real picture.

Until graphics do reach that point the chase is going to continue, because why shouldn't artists and game designers chase perfection?

    The new XBOX720 from what I heard will be comparable to a current 2012 generation of gaming PC, which means it will have vastly superior performance to the current consoles, the difference compared to the Wii U is probably going to be even bigger than the difference between the PS3/360 and the Wii

    I love my Wii, but I'm going to have to wait and see if it delivers with it's promises. Not saying it won't, but I just want to wait.

    No. I fear that it will end up being similar to the Wii. The best games will be first party software from Nintendo studios, and they will only have a marginal amount of sustainability. The rest of the games will be mostly shovelware with rare decent third party title.

    The sheer fact that nintendo failed at creating excitement at E3 for any type of hardcore gamer supports this. Also i prefer not to be required to wield a Gamegear as a controller, and i don't feel a good since of urgency or drama is created by requiring the player to take their eyes off the screen and the action to browse their inventory or manage a lock (yes this often happens with pause screen inventories, but in those games the developer is not relying on this to increase drama, the Wii U already has a title that does in Zombie U).

    Just my two cents.

    Im sorry to say but the human limitation i.e Uncanny Valley, is a long ways off. As an example look at what Epic is doing with the Unreal 4 Engine. They are improving dramatically the amounts of particles behave with light realistically, as well as dramatically improving on the facial animations. You can greatly see the difference between the current Unreal Engine and 4, and it is be created to run on system specs similar to those of the assumed next Xbox. So saying graphics are limited or even capped at this point is not true in the least.

    We live in an era of "me versus them", an era where something is done that you don't like means you are personally attacked. People whine too much.
    Let us play video games and be happy.

    Yea this is about it for me ... It's actually a good marketing scheme by Nintendo to keep their main titles Exclusive to Nintendo Consoles, but by George it works. All Nintendo has to do is announce a new Console and say there's a new Mario Kart or Zelda Game etc and I am immediately Sold.

    I will certainly be getting a WiiU .. MIGHT wait until a price drop, but knowing my Impatience for all things technological, I'll probably just end up getting it Day 1 anyway.

    I never argued that we're at the cap of the graphics, but I'm just saying that at a point there would be absolutely no point in bothering with what graphics the machine can hold, so why bother arguing about that when what should be the importance is the game play, at least I hope so.
    If a game is just going solely base on graphics, because that is what is being spent on the most, and the game play is utterly boring (as you linked with the project cars game), which is basically another racing game and I can't see much of anything that new about it, what's the point?

    It has the most potential, but there is yet to be a good "core" game for it. Almost every game that's tried to integrate it to do anything beyond voice commands, dancing, or a few "casual" games has failed miserably. Look at Steel Battalion and the absolute mess that game is, or the Star Wars game where most of the game barely functioned properly (dancing worked!). The sad fact is that the "core" games that people like to focus on (while deriding all of the "casual" games on Wii...the same types of games that are the only ones that function properly with the Kinect) have universally sucked when they integrate Kinect motion controls. Steel Battalion even acknowledged it by having both motion AND gamepad controls to minimize the amount of work the Kinect would need to do with gesture recognition, and it STILL bombed and barely worked.

    Don't try and say Microsoft is ignoring it, because they are working on improving it with subsequent models, and as I've already said the leaked documents show they want to ship it with EVERY next-gen Xbox that comes out. Regardless, if they're ignoring it that means they don't have any care about the product they released which is NEVER a good though.

    It's a racing simulation game, what do you want them to add booster power ups and slippery bananas? The "Gameplay experience" comes from the quality of the driving model physics first and foremost, followed by the quality of the AI, the career mode, the quality of the online mode. I just also happens to be the highest quality graphics game/racing game being released to date.

    If you have to ask the question then you're not really a racing game fan and the title in question is not for you. The example was to show the exceptional graphics and how while they are exceptional to the point of being the very highest quality, during gameplay there is still a long long way to go before they can fool the average user vs reality



    The way you say "its just another racing game" can be applied to pretty much any game of any genre. We might aswell just do away with every new game being developed, because lets be honest "what is being added for gameplay experience, it's just another game".


    Mario? - Just another game with better graphics
    Call of Duty? - Just another game, better graphics
    Zelda? - Just another game, better graphics
    Mists of Pandaria - Just another game... pfft and barely even graphics, but hey pokemon.
    Guild Wars 2? - Just another game, wow with better graphics.
    Crysis 3? - Whats the point, its just another game with better graphics.


    Oh wait, you're saying the Wii U has crap graphics? So let me get this straight... It won't have good graphics? ZOMG MUST HAVE EPIC GAMEPLAYZ!

    I grew out of the audience where all I cared about was the next Mario/Zelda/Metroid game a long time ago, and grew tired of those three being the crutch of their lineup.

    I'm not really sure how graphics is game play really works... but okay.

    Am I a super fan of racing? No, but there are games that I like, albeit they have silly things. A straight forward just lap by lap racing game doesn't seem like it adds anything other than eye candy.

    And no. A genre has specific features in which it adheres to. Afterwards it veers off into what can they give to you that makes it fun, makes it different, gives it essentially it's own identity.

    There's one last thing. Why must graphic become part of realism? Borderlands is a great example of just making it different yet appealing in it's own way.

    Either way this has basically become off topic.

    Not even close. Graphics don't mean shit.

    Not unless they have some games that will blow me away. ZombieU is the only one that looks entertaining so far, and one game is not justification for purchasing an entire system.

  14. #94
    For one reason, the new Super Smash Bros. game.]

    Literally, I am buying this system specifically for this game. I already have a 3DS so I will be ready to go. :P

  15. #95
    I'm definitely going to buy one.

    That is my point - You're not a racing fan and you don't understand. Lets look at GT Planet, a racing game website/forum that rivals or matches MMO-champion in terms of traffic, you go there and you will see real racing fans, and each and every one of them is chasing the next game that will improve mostly one thing, realism.

    Project cars boasts a few things that a real car lover, racing fan would want.

    1. Physics - Most advanced and most realistic driving model to reach the consoles, it is still in pre-alpha and is already at this point.
    2. Car models - Each car is extremely well detailed in terms of graphics and in terms of trying to match real world data, in connection with the physics model this creates a unique and lifelike driving experience for each car.
    3. Car list - Varied and large, from Street cars, Formula 1, NASCAR, FIA GT, DTM, Le Mans(Prototype), GP2, Formula Ford, Classic F1 + various other.
    4. Track list - Massive track list including extremely high quality versions of the most popular real world tracks, aswell as public roads + other
    5. Graphics - Most detailed graphics to date by a large margin.


    The game is in what the devs call "Pre Alpha" it is early-mid stages development. So knowing much more than that is difficult, but anybody can play this game right now, CARS stands for "Community Assisted Racing Simulator" and anybody can invest in this title development process.


    To a real racing game fan the most important "gameplay aspect" is the gameplay itself, the driving of the cars, and each racing fan chases the next new game in the hope that a developer can nail it. Everything else is secondary to this, if the game plays/drives good then that alone is enough for some people. If you then marry that with the best graphics, a massive and varied real world tracklist, career mode and online connectivity with competitions and events... You have a game that outdoes every racing game that has come before it, the main console rivals being the Gran Turismo and Forza series.

    You could say racing games don't matter, just another racing game right? Racing games are big business, and creating the perfect racing game experience is something many developers are trying to do and many racing game fans are searching for, and if you read any threads or posters at GTPlanet (website I mentioned earlier), you would see this passion, and Project CARS sits high in the hopes of many of those gamers.

    You speak of someone who really doesnt understand this world, so why would you understand what is so great about Project CARS other than graphics? You don't know any better.



    The last part

    Mario? - Just another game with better graphics
    Call of Duty? - Just another game, better graphics
    Zelda? - Just another game, better graphics
    Mists of Pandaria - Just another game... pfft and barely even graphics, but hey pokemon.
    Guild Wars 2? - Just another game, wow with better graphics.
    Crysis 3? - Whats the point, its just another game with better graphics
    This was said with sarcasm - My point is, if you can apply such a judgement on 1 game based on a screenshot and no knowledge in a genre you don't understand then you can do the same to any other game. Gameplay is massively important, graphics matter too. But just because a game has amazing graphics that doesn't mean it has bad gameplay, which is pretty much the conclusion you have come to on my posting of those pictures.

    Pictures I might add were to demonstrate that while they are graphically great, there is still a long way to go before the persuit of better graphics comes to an end. But you missed that and went off in a completely random direction with it.

    Missing out. Mario games are getting better and better all the time. Skyward sword was meh though.
    Hell, Mario galaxy 1 and 2 are some of the highest rated games. Last time i checked they were in the top 5.

I don't like racing games as much as you do, however this is my opinion, this is yours. However going completely off the way to say that I don't understand the world (which to be honest I wish I don't understand even a sliver of it), is just reinforcing the part where you think your opinion is fact.

    Fyi the info I based off of wasn't the screenshot, it's the game site itself.
